WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NURSE PRACTITIONER A S S O C I AT I O N O F M A R Y L A N D
Welcome to this year’s Excellence in Nursing honors, celebrating exemplary nurses practicing in the Greater Chesapeake Bay Region! We called upon local nurses practicing in Anne Arundel, Prince George’s, Queen Anne’s, Kent, Talbot, and Dorchester counties to nominate and, therefore, honor the most commendable of their peers in the field, in more than 15 areas of specialty. In partnering with the Nurse Practitioner Association of Maryland, Inc. to promote the surveying, the response was phenomenal. We thank the many, and very busy, nurses for their valuable time and consideration. This project is truly professionals nominating professionals. This was not open to the public. Only licensed nurses and medical professionals contributed to this survey. And although the nominating process is kept confidential, we did ask each contributor’s “reason for nomination” of their peer(s). And it is those responses that are truly endearing and encapsulate what teamwork, leadership, camaraderie, and family mean to this profession. You’ll read their remarks in the listings. Without further ado, here are the Excellence in Nursing 2021 honorees. whatsupmag.com | November 2021 | What’s Up? Annapolis
