The goals of the Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing program are to encourage retention, inspire future nurses, focus public attention and recognize the breadth and scope of nursing practice at the local level. What better way to inspire future nurses then to honor nursing students for academic and community achievement.

In partnering with local nursing programs including UCONN School of Nursing and Three Rivers Community College School of Nursing, the Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing contributes to an endowment fund for nursing scholarships.
