The Louisiana Nurses Foundation proudly announces the Annual Nightingale Awards, a premier celebration recognizing excellence in nursing practice, leadership, education, and research across Louisiana.

With more than 1,000 nominations submitted over the years, hundreds of attendees gathering annually, and over 70 nurses inducted into the Hall of Fame, the event continues to showcase the extraordinary impact registered nurses have on the health and well-being of communities throughout Louisiana.
