Congratulations to Joyce Thielen, PhD, RN, who recently received the Nightingale Award for Nursing Excellence in honor of her contributions to the nursing profession!
The Nightingale Awards for Excellence in Nursing program was originally developed by the Visiting Nurse Association of South Central Connecticut 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.
