Editor’s Letter<br />
Special Great 100 Nurses Issue<br />
Dear readers,<br />
Nurses Lounge-DFW is pleased to present our special Great 100 Nurses <strong>com</strong>memorative issue<br />
for 2009. We have devoted this month’s entire issue to honoring past and present Great 100<br />
Nurses.<br />
On the opposite page, you will find four past Great 100 winners who shared their stories about<br />
life after winning their nomination. You’ll see how winning the award has impacted the lives<br />
and careers of these inspirational nurses.<br />
Our special tribute to the Great 100 Nurses starts on page six. Be sure to read the introduction<br />
with my thoughts on why the Great 100 is so much more than a recognition award!<br />
Finally, starting on page 24, we asked this year’s Great 100 Nurses to share their most memorable<br />
nursing stories with our readers. As expected, the stories we received are moving and<br />
inspirational. In this story you will see what motivates and moves this year’s nursing greats, and<br />
possibly glimpse your own reasons for choosing to give of yourself in caring for others.<br />
As always, be sure to let me know how we can serve you better!<br />
See you in the lounge!<br />
