MARN Awards

AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR YOUR COLLEAGUES
MARN Awards honor the remarkable, but often unrecognized work of MARN members. You probably work with or know nurse colleagues whose commitment to nursing and to patient care is exemplary. Yet in the rush of today's world, there is often little time to acknowledge them and their professional contributions.

MARN has established several awards that provide you the opportunity to recognize those nurses who have made a difference at the bedside, in the classroom, and in the practice of nursing.
