As we have in the past, CNF is partnering with Regional AHEC’s and Associations to receive nominations and select recipients. Our partners are:
Denver Regional Nightingale Association
Centennial AHEC
Pikes Peak Nightingale Association
San Luis Valley AHEC
Southeastern Colorado AHEC
Southwestern Colorado AHEC
Western AHEC
These Regional Partners will receive the nominations from their areas and will select their finalists, to be called Luminaries, and submit them to the State Selection Committee. The State Selection Committee will be comprised of representatives from each of the Regional Partners, CNF Board Members, and previous Nightingale Recipients. The State Selection Committee will select the sixteen Nightingale Recipients. All the Nominees and Luminaries will be honored at the Nightingale Gala to be held May 18, 2024, at the Inverness Hotel in Centennial. The Nightingale Recipients will be announced at the Gala. Proceeds from the Nightingale Gala will be used to support the CNF Nursing Scholarship Program.
About the Nightingale Awards
The Colorado Nurses Foundation is committed to making a collective impact on a diverse, inclusive, and equitable care environment for all Colorado nurses and the Coloradans they serve. We embrace the uniqueness of all nurses and the kaleidoscope of humans of every race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, or immigration path who call Colorado home. Our commitment to these values is central to our mission and guides the development and implementation of our programs and initiatives that foster nursing excellence and promotes the leadership role of nurses to create a sustainable health care system for Colorado. One of these programs is the Nightingale Awards for Nursing Excellence.
