Nurses are often the unsung heroes of hospitals, but with the 15th annual Celebrating Nurses Awards luncheon that won’t be the case.

Next year’s event will put the spotlight on nurses who have positively impacted families, their communities and patients’ lives.

Do you know a Georgia registered nurse who fits the description? Share their story by nominating them for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Celebrating Nurses Awards at www.ajc.com/nominate-RN. 

Patients, colleagues, supervisors and families can submit nominations. All nominees must be submitted by Jan. 31, 2020.

An independent panel of judges will review the submissions and choose winners based on the impact of their care and kindness. The chosen nurses will attend the Celebrating Nurses luncheon on May 5, 2020, at the Cobb Galleria. The AJC will also highlight them in paper and on AJC.com.
