The Kansas March of Dimes is seeking nominations for their 2015 Nurse of the Year Awards.

This award recognizes exceptional nurses from across Kansas  whose strength, courage and perseverance advance their profession.

Nurses play a vital role in our society and are the unsung heroes of the healthcare provider community. This award is to honor the work they do. Patients, families and colleagues are encouraged to nominate nurses in 21 different categories and to join us as we say thank you and honor their selflessness, dedication and passion for the profession of nursing.

All nominees are invited to attend at a black tie gala event in November at which all nominated nurses are recognized and one winner will be announced for each eligible category.

Nominations are due by July 10. Complete details and nomination forms can be found by visiting www.gkcnoty.com
