The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Human Caring was founded in 1985 to honor nurses who best exemplify the philosophy and practice of Florence Nightingale, a 19th century nursing pioneer who epitomized the art of helping people toward their optimal health.
Registered nurses throughout the state are nominated in the fall of each year by solicitation from the Colorado Area Health Education Centers System (AHEC) and the Colorado Springs and Western Slope Nightingale Committees. Fifteen finalists are selected by the regions and forwarded to the State Selection Committee, who determines the recipients. Each region also hosts a local event for their nominees.
The Colorado Nurses Foundation (CNF) is the organization planning this statewide event. The Colorado Springs Nightingale and Western Slope Nightingale are part of the CNF state-wide planning committee. CNF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to improving health care and nursing practice in Colorado. CNF is devoted to creating nursing excellence through the promotion of educational and scientific activities and community-based projects in Colorado.
