Why we focus on new nurses
One way we can help our clients continue to provide superior care is by showing our support for the nurses of the future. To help new nurses achieve their full potential, we’re sponsoring a 1-year Full Membership to the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetrics, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) for each Ally Award recipient.
Benefits of an AWHONN membership include these (and more):
- Resources, tools, and clinical training on key topics
- Opportunities for networking and professional development
- Access to AWHONN’s Career Center and jobs board
- A monthly newsletter covering research and advances
Additionally, the recipient will receive a FREE registration to 1 of the following conferences:
- AWHONN Annual Convention
- AWHONN Texas Section State Conference
- Synova NICU Leadership Forum
- Synova Perinatal Leadership Forum
When is the Ally Award given?
The Ally Award is awarded to 1 nurse semiannually, for a total of 2 times each calendar year. Since acknowledgment from colleagues bolsters the confidence of new nurses, we invite health care providers to nominate a nurse who consistently demonstrates excellence in their practice.
