BJN Award
The BJN Awards celebrate and reward excellence in clinical nursing. The awards are not just a glitzy affair and an excuse for a party – they are also a time to recognise the immense talent, professionalism and innovation among the nursing workforce. At a time when staff and expenditure cutbacks are inevitably affecting morale, the BJN Awards 2012 are a celebration of achievement, a reminder of the reasons you nurse, and an infusion of encouragement to inspire continued enthusiasm for the nursing profession.
