Leading nurses from Long Island’s hospitals and nursing education programs gathered on Wednesday, May 21, at the Woodbury Country Club to give recognition to their peers during the Nurse of Excellence Award Ceremony.
One nurse from each of the Hospital Council’s member hospitals was nominated for this award, which recognizes exceptional leadership and clinical practice. Patricia Wright, RN, a nurse in Southampton Hospital’s Kathleen D. Allen Maternity Center, was nominated for the 2014 Nurse of Excellence Award, and Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council (NSHC) hosted the affair.
