Award recipients will be recognized throughout the 2017 Emergency Nursing Conference 2017 in St. Louis and at a reception on Sept. 15.
The Lantern Award is named in honor of Florence Nightingale, who is credited with changing nursing from an untrained job to a skilled, science-based profession. She is referred to as the “Lady of the Lamp” for her actions during the Crimean War when she worked deep into the night, bringing a lantern with her as she tended to wounded British soldiers as they slept.
