NEW ORLEANS - Once a year, 100 of Louisiana's brightest registered nurses are singled out for their outstanding contributions to the profession at the Great 100 Nurses Celebration. This year, a record number of Ochsner Health System nurses are named as 39 of the 100 "Great Nurses" are Ochsner nurses. In 2007, Ochsner had 33 nurses chosen for the list and in 2006 had 25.
"This prestigious award is a significant accomplishment for our nursing staff and an honor for the institution," says Dr. Patrick Quinlan, M.D., Chief Executive Officer at Ochsner Health System.
The 100 Great Nurses of Louisiana was founded in 1986 as a way to recognize outstanding nurses and their accomplishments and successes. The honorees are selected by their peers and patients, based on their humanity, as well as their contribution to the community and the nursing profession.
