Events
To connect, collaborate, and celebrate innovation across the nursing profession, ANA is hosting several events throughout the year to showcase the creativity and ingenuity of nurses who are leading change or driving healthcare transformation.
Innovation Awards
Nurses are continuously innovating to address the needs and challenges across healthcare. The ANA Innovation Awards highlights, recognizes, and celebrates nurse-led innovation that improves patient safety and outcomes. Innovations fall into two categories – the creation of something new or an improvement upon something existing.
The Innovation Award categories include:
- Care Delivery Models
- Devices
- Educational Interventions
- New Business, Program, or Service
- Process improvement
- Research
- Technology
Applicants have a chance to win a $25,000 individual nurse award and a $50,000 nurse-led team award. The 2022 Winners will be announced February 16, 2022! Sign up to see the ceremony: 2022 Navigate Nursing + National Nurses Month Webinar Bundle (Free for ANA Members) (nursingworld.org)
Applications will open again June 1-November 4, 2022.

NursePitch™
