The 24th annual DFW Great 100 Nurses Celebration was held on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at the Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St, Dallas. The 2014 Class of Great 100 Nurses was honored at this event. Honorees were chosen from over 700 nominations.
The Great 100 celebration raises the awareness of the contributions of nurses to patient care, research, leadership, education and community service of more than 40,000 nurses practicing in the DFW area. In addition, the celebration builds the image of nursing through positive reinforcement of the nursing profession as a scientific art and the recognition of those who exemplify excellence.
“As an organization, we believe in the power of nurses to transforms lives, organizations, communities and health systems and they are leading at a local, state and national level in all settings. Three million and growing, nurses represent the backbone, brain, heart and soul of the health care system. We are in the midst of an exciting transformation in healthcare that needs creative destruction and disruptive innovation and nurses are perfectly positioned to do just that and more,” said Cole Edmonson, DNP, RN, FACHE, NEA-BC, President of the DFW Great 100.
The 2014 Great 100 Nurses were selected from over 700 nominations submitted by patients, families, colleagues, teachers, students, co-workers and supervisors.
Nomination letters were reviewed and evaluated in the areas of the nurses’ contributions to quality patient care, support these nurses provided to their peers, and their ongoing efforts to advance the overall quality of health care.
