STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of its third annual Mosby's 'Superheroes of Nursing' contest, aimed at recognising the work and dedication of individual nursing professionals.
The contest is officially opening for 2013 applicants on May 1, as a kick-off to Nurses Week (May 6-12), and will be announcing the winners in October. The contest will be accepting nominations for applicants who fit into five categories – The Achiever, Protector, Educator, Validator, and introducing the newest hero, the Connector.
Videos, photos, and essays can be uploaded starting from May to August to nominate deserving nurses in any of the five categories on the Mosby's Suite Facebook page. Elsevier will narrow down the nominations to a select number of submissions that best represent one of the key five categories, and the winner will be chosen from these applicants by the fans on Facebook.
Elsevier offers evidence-based tools and staff development resources that can help organisations manage performance, improve workflow and coordination of care, reduce patient care errors, and increase satisfaction to boost staff retention rates. The 'Superheroes of Nursing' campaign illustrates how the utilisation of these solutions helps develop real-life nursing superheroes to provide unmatched, selfless care and to lead their peers by example.
Additional information can be found by "liking" the Mosby's Suite Facebook page, which offers current news and announcements. The winners will be announced at the Elsevier booth during the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) National Magnet Conference, October 2-4, 2013, in Orlando.
