The 19th Annual Great 100 Nurses Celebration
of Dallas & Fort Worth
Honoring this year’s nurses who were nominated by their peers and selected
for being leaders, role models, compassionate caregivers, community
servants, and significant contributors to the nursing profession.
by Anthony Armstrong
The Great 100 Nurses of Dallas-Fort Worth is celebrating its 19th
year of recognizing and honoring nurses who exemplify excellence
in the art and science of nursing. The DFW awards, founded
by Beth Mancini, RN, PhD, are administered by The Dallas- Fort Worth
Hospital Council Nurse Executives Forum and the Texas Nurses Association
Districts 3 and 4.
What makes a Great 100 nurse? A commitment to others that goes
beyond the duties of the regular nursing job. Mancini describes being a
Great 100 nurse as “seeking for others what you would want for yourself
or your loved ones. It is going the extra mile for your patients, their
families, your community and your students, not because you have to,
but because you want to and because you can make a difference by
doing so.”
Nominations can be submitted by anyone. Patients, family members,
coworkers, administrators and more nominate hundreds of nurses each
year. This year, a record number of over 800 nominations were received.
Once received, each nomination is read by two to three people and
scored with a confidential scoring system. The scores are added together
and averaged, with the top 100 scores selected as winners.
The Great 100 Nurses Award has grown in more ways than many realize
from its humble beginnings 19 years ago. More than just a nursing
award, the Great 100 now plays an integral role in bringing inspiration,
