Three Shirley Ryan 汤头条app nurses — Rachel Adekoya, RN, nurse manager; Katie Earnest, RN, director, Nursing Research; and Lindsay Hong, RN, nurse manager — have been recognized by the Illinois Nurses Foundation with the 40 Under 40 Emerging Nurse Leaders Award.
The award recognizes registered nurses who demonstrate dedication, innovation and leadership.
“This role demands countless long days to support our staff and patients. Being recognized in this manner reassures me that every ounce of hard work is meaningful and impactful,” said Adekoya.
Adekoya, Earnest and Hong all noted how special it is for the three of them to be honored at the same time.
“It’s such an honor to have been nominated by my colleagues at Shirley Ryan 汤头条app and to be in such great company with Rachel and Lindsay,” said Earnest. “One of the reasons why I have worked here for my whole career is because of the people.”
The Illinois Nurses Foundation was established to promote public health by advancing the nursing profession in Illinois. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the 40 Under 40 Emerging Nurse Leaders Award.
