I’ve Been Nominated for the Best of Nursing Awards

I’ve Been Nominated for the Best of Nursing Awards!

I am incredibly excited to announce that I’ve been nominated for two Best of Nursing Awards.

These awards are given out as part of an annual initiative by Nurse.org to “recognize and celebrate dedication and excellence in the nursing industry in the U.S.”

And the best part is, all Nursing Awards finalists are nominated by the nursing community.

This year, I’ve been nominated in the Nurse Leader and Nurse Innovation categories, but this is truly a tribute to pioneering Awake and Walking ICU nurses like Polly Bailey, Louise Bezdjian, and all the nurses who dare to challenge the status quo, research this subject, and fight to bring evidence-based practices to their patients.

An advocate of Awake and Walking ICUs being nominated for these awards is amazing, as it brings validation and recognition to all the ICU Revolutionists who have been leading the humanization of critical care medicine.

And being nominated for Best Nurse Leader reinforces the fact that nurses are leaders who can influence ICU culture and affect change when it comes to standard of care in medicine.

All things considered, these nominations reflect the power of nurses to make life-saving changes in the ICU, and the world at large.

If you’d like to show your support, you can cast your vote here from now through December 31st.

And keep in mind that anyone can vote – not just nurses, and you can vote in both categories for which I’ve been nominated!

The Walking Home From The ICU podcast has been transformational in helping to change the culture in the small community ICU where I work. I am an occupational therapist and have wanted to implement early mobility in our facility for several years now. It wasn’t until I started listening to this podcast that this “want” became more than that. It became a “must.”

The podcast has made it so easy to share the passion I have gained. The stories of the patients and the knowledge of practitioners sharing their clinical practice advice are so valuable.

Kali Dayton has shared with our team her knowledge through a video format as well. She was able to answer nursing related questions that I, as an OT, haven’t been able to answer. She is professional and willing to share her knowledge and passion in order to make changes in the ICU community around the world.
