The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing program was originally developed by the Visiting Nurse Association of South Central Connecticut (VNA/SCC) to be a collaborative effort to celebrate outstanding nurses and elevate the nursing profession. The goals of the program are to encourage retention, inspire future nurses, focus public attention and recognize the breadth and scope of nursing practice at the local level.

Over the past nine years, the Program has honored over 860 nurses. This year, we are excited to be hosting our 10th annual Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing celebration! We expect to honor 100 nurses and host over 500 attendees at the event, which will be held at the Oakdale Theater on May 5, 2010.
