Outstanding nurses who are making a major impact at work deserve to be recognized for their professional excellence. Consider nominating an exceptional colleague by Aug. 15 for an AACN Circle of Excellence award in three simple steps:

1. Describe the excellent outcomes achieved by the nominee, exemplifying excellence measured against three criteria.
2. Identify two other people who share your enthusiasm — a leader and another colleague the nominee works with.
3. Submit your materials all at once by Aug. 15, 2018.

Up to 25 Circle of Excellence recipients will be recognized and receive an honorarium to attend the National Teaching Institute & Critical Care Exposition (NTI) in Orlando, May 19-23, 2019.
