Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society
SCR Awards
South Central Region has added 3 additional categories to Awards. The
Outstanding WOC (ET) Nurse of the Year has been awarded since 1988 and
the President’s Award since 2004. Members will now have the opportunity
to nominate individuals in the categories of:
Manufacturer/Vendor of the Year
Presidents Award
Criteria have been developed by the SCR Board for each of these awards.
In common to each of these new awards is the fact that an individual may
be nominated at anytime throughout the year as long as they meet the
deadline. Deadline is set at
6 weeks before Regional Conference.
The deadline is tied to regional conference for two reasons:
Winners of Rookie of
the Year and Educator of the Year receive FREE regional conference
registration
Winner of the
Manufacturer/Vendor Award will be recognized at Regional Conference with
a certificate of appreciation and a blue ribbon for their booth. In
addition, they will receive free ad on the SCR website and an ad in the
quarterly 5 Alive for one
year.
Nominations from facilities of all sizes and all along the continuum of
care from Home Health to Acute Care are encouraged. For those who work
in rural areas or settings where they have no WOC Nursing peers, they
may nominate themselves as Rookie or Educator of the Year, if
appropriate.
