Registered Nurses Celebrated for Professional Excellence

EDMONTON, April 30 /CNW/ - Last night, the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) recognized the exceptional achievements of seven registered nurses and one member of the public at its Awards of Nursing Excellence Gala held at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton. TD Insurance Meloche Monnex is a supporter of the CARNA Awards Gala.

"Every day, registered nurses are using their knowledge and expertise to make a difference in the lives of Albertans," says CARNA president Joan Petruk. "The CARNA Awards of Excellence shine a spotlight on outstanding registered nurses who inspire their colleagues through their commitment to knowledge, patient care and professional excellence."

The CARNA Awards of Nursing Excellence are awarded in four areas of professional nursing practice; clinical, education, research and administration. Scholarships for exceptional educational achievements were also presented, including the prestigious CARNA/ TD Insurance Meloche Monnex Scholarships.

"It's an honour to recognize the outstanding registered nurses whose expert caring makes a difference in the lives of Albertans every day," says Lone St. Croix, Vice President, TD Insurance Meloche Monnex. "It's a privilege to honour professionals who personify excellence and commitment to their careers."

CARNA also presented the Partner in Health award to a member of the public selected for their support of the nursing profession in the community.

"Registered nursing is a profession characterized by its diversity," says CARNA Chief Executive Officer, Mary-Anne Robinson. "There are registered nurses contributing to better health for Albertans in hospitals, homes, schools and worksites throughout the province. The CARNA Partner in Health Award was created to recognize the partners whose efforts work in synergy with registered nurses to meet the health needs within their communities."
