Neonatal Nurse of the Year Award - Fisher & Paykel Travel Scholarship
The Neonatal Nurses College of Aotearoa (NNCA) has great pleasure in announcing Fisher and Paykel's continued support of the Neonatal Nurse of the Year Award, established in 2014.
This award recognises an individual nurse's contribution to their organisation, local, national and/ or international communities. This travel scholarship is valued at $2,000NZD, and awarded for excellence, research, innovation and contributions to neonatal nursing. It is for travel to develop the award recipient's career further, e.g: to attend a scientific meeting or conference, or to enable a visit to an overseas Neonatal Unit.
The Neonatal Nurse of the Year Award was last awarded at the COINN Conference 2019, and nominations were judged by the NNCA Executive Committee.
We are very grateful to Fisher & Paykel who again continue to support the NNCA. A big thank you to them.
