NURSING EXCELLENCE Giving Excellence Meaning


Mid-AtlanticWinners Winner profi les by Tom Clegg • Photos by David DeBalko Photography


Nurse.com takes pride in recognizing the accomplishments of nurses from coast to coast at annual GEM Awards dinners held in four cities across the U.S.


At each event, regional nurse fi nalists are honored; a Rising Star Award is presented to a nurse in the early years of practice; and a regional winner from each of fi ve GEM categories is announced and moves on to compete in the program’s national phase.


“Our GEM program continues to give excellence meaning by publicly recognizing some of the best of the best in our profession,” said Eileen Williamson, MSN, RN, senior vice president and chief nurse executive at Nurse.com. “Nominated, selected and celebrated by nurses, our nurse honorees epitomize professional excellence. We are privileged to award and celebrate them for their many contributions to nursing and healthcare.”


This year’s Mid-Atlantic GEM program took place Sept. 23 at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown.


Nurse.com is pleased to introduce the 2016 Nurse.com GEM Awards regional winners and rising star from the Mid-Atlantic region.


HOW ARE WINNERS CHOSEN? 1 Nominate


Nurses submit nominations on RNs and their roles and accomplishments, including examples that demonstrate excellence in the category nominated.


2 Select Nominations are blinded and sent to a panel of judges


comprised of nurse leaders. Each regional winner is determined by the ratings of those blinded nominations.


3 Honor A regional winner in each of the categories is announced


and honored at the GEM event and moves on to the national phase of the GEM Awards program.


4 National Phase Later in the year, Nurse.com names a national winner


in each category. You can read about the winners on Nurse.com/Blog and at Nurse.com/GEM.


5 Rising Star Award Nurse.com presents a Rising Star Award at each GEM


event to an RN who has been working in nursing for fi ve years or less. He or she demonstrates strong nursing knowledge and clinical leadership skill and exceeds role expectations in patient care and professional endeavors.
