HAS AN EXCEPTIONAL nurse cared for you or a loved one?
Now is the time to tell us your story for “Celebrating Nurses,” a Peninsula Daily News special section that will recognize the hard work, zeal and dedication of nurses on the North Olympic Peninsula — in Jefferson and Clallam counties — who go above and beyond the call of duty to better the lives of their patients.
This section will be published in late October, but first we’re asking you to help us find nurses who deserve to be spotlighted.
Deadline for your nominations is 5 p.m. this coming Monday, Oct. 3.
Nominate a nurse whose compassion, devotion, professionalism, knowledge and skill, patience or tenderness touched you in some way.
Nominations can be made by individuals, clubs, churches, businesses, schools and other organizations.
Nurses can come from a number of different work settings — adult or pediatric clinics, hospitals, addiction recovery, cancer treatment, labor and delivery, triage emergency departments, Alzheimer’s care, home health, assisted living facilities or any other environment that depends on quality care.
Nominees must be RNs, LPNs or ARNPs licensed by the state of Washington (caregivers and CNAs are super individuals, too, but for this section they are not eligible).
From your nominations, we will pick a handful of nurses to feature in the PDN’s October special section.
How to nominate
• Nominations should be made using the accompanying coupon — please PRINT it out, complete it and send it to the PDN by no later than 5 p.m. on Monday.
• IMPORTANT — A letter describing the merits and accomplishments of the nurse being nominated should be submitted (in person, or by regular mail) along with the coupon.
• If possible, the nomination should include supporting documents, such as copies (not originals) of awards, newspaper articles or letters of support. (This also needs to come to us with the coupon and letter by regular mail, or in person.)
• Any RN, LPN or ARNP licensed by the state of Washington and working in Clallam or Jefferson counties can be nominated.
