The Excellence in Nursing Education Award is intended to reward and recognize schools, programs, and departments of nursing that offer a degree in nursing who exhibit an exceptional, substantive and innovative curriculum in holistic nursing education. These schools must have incorporated the philosophy and core values of holism into their entire curriculum/course and encourage the highest standards of Holistic Nursing education. The schools, programs, and departments of nursing must have incorporated the philosophy, competencies, and core values delineated in the Holistic Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice 3rd Edition (2019), throughout the entire curriculum and/or into a stand-alone course. Innovation of approaches to curriculum design, teaching and evaluation methods; clinical experiences across the care continuum focusing on the holistic nature and needs of people; potential for replication and dissemination to other schools/programs/departments of nursing will be considered. To be nominated, schools, programs, and departments of nursing must have or be a fully accredited Nursing Program at the national level: NLNAC or AACN. One letter of support and nomination from an AHNA member and one letter of support from an individual outside the applicant's organization are required. One nomination letter must also be submitted.
