The Southwestern Colorado Area Health Education Center is accepting nominations for the eighth annual Nightingale Luminary and STAR awards to be presented March 14.

The Nightingale Luminary Award recognizes outstanding nurses in the Four Corners and is Colorado’s highest nursing honor. Luminaries will be automatically entered into Colorado’s statewide Nightingale Luminary event held in Denver on May 11.

Nominations can be made for two registered nurses in two categories: clinical practice or non-traditional roles, such as administration, education or research.

In each category, nominees will be judged in the areas of advocacy, leadership and innovation.
