Nancye B. Holt Legacy of Nursing Award

Body

One of the annual highlights of National Nurses Week is the announcement of nominees and the winner of the Nancye B. Holt Legacy of Nursing Award, which recognizes a nurse or advanced practice nurse who demonstrates our mission, philosophy and commitment to excellence in patient care.

The winner of this year’s Nancye B. Holt Legacy of Nursing Award is Nancy Kasprzyk of the Nursing Flex Staff!

“She is truly a role model, mentor and ambassador for nursing, the Flex Staff department, and the organization,” wrote the anonymous colleague who nominated Nancy. “Nancy does it all. And perhaps, most noteworthy, she does it all for patients she has never met before and will never meet again. This is the role of the Flex Staff nurse, and Nancy does it beyond expectations each and every day.”
