  • 1.  Nursing Excellence Designations in Ambulatory?

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hello everyone!

    Does anyone know of any nursing excellence designations that exist for ambulatory nursing?

    Our team is interested in learning whether there are,

    • An overarching ambulatory nursing excellence designation, and/or
    • Recognition programs specific to subsets of ambulatory nursing, for example procedural areas, clinics, specialty practices.

    By "nursing excellence designation," we mean recognitions similar to,

    • The Beacon Award for ICUs,
    • The Go Clear Award or other recognitions in perioperative nursing,
    • The Lantern Award in emergency departments.

    And population specific designations that are interdisciplinary are in scope, so long as there are nursing excellence elements included :)

    Thank you in advance!!

    Sincerely,

    Michelle Barnhart

    Good Morning,

    These are the awards we give once a year.  Any RN in our system is able to be nominated. Then we also have a sunshine award for a Tech/ MA and a separate one for LPNS too.

    Thanks Patricia - love all those categories! We have some similar here at OHSU.

    We are more interested in finding a National nursing recognition program / award /designation for quality Ambulatory care - not just internal from the institution. So far I haven't heard of any - so perhaps that is an opportunity we can influence through AAACN!
