Dear member,
We are now accepting nominations for the 12th Annual Lois Fairley Nursing Award.
Consider nominating a dedicated nurse who makes a difference every day with his/her patients in our community. The award is selected and given by the Windsor-Essex Chapter of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO).
If you, or a loved one, have ever needed nursing care in a hospital, at home or through our public health nurses, you know the difference that an outstanding nurse makes with patients and their families.
The nomination process is easy:
In 500 words or less, tell us a story about how a nurse impacted a life of a patient, a family, their workplace or their community.
For more information and for the nomination form, please go here: https://www.windsoressexrnao.org
Entries must be received by Friday, April 26 at 5 p.m.
The award was named after Lois Fairley, a graduate of Grace Hospital's nursing program in 1955 who spent her career serving patients at Grace Hospital as a nurse and head nurse. She also served the nursing profession as a member of the Provincial Board of Directors of RNAO, served as president of the Ontario Nurses Association and on St. Clair College, the Program Advisory Committee. Unfortunately, Lois passed away in 2007, and RNAO instituted this award for Windsor Essex in 2008.
