Employee Spotlight
Happy Clinical Nurse Specialists Week!
National Clinical Nurse Specialist Recognition Week (CNS Week) is September 1-7, 2022.
CNS week is an annual event that acknowledges the contributions of the nearly 90,000 Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs) in North America.
NACNS established National CNS Recognition Week (CNS week) in 2009 to commemorate and celebrate the birth of Hildegard Peplau, who was born on September 1, 1909. Dr. Peplau was a prominent nursing theorist whose landmark book, Interpersonal Relations in Nursing, emphasized the nurse-client relationship as the foundation for nursing practice and today serves as the basis of the CNS role in health care.
CNS Week is a perfect time for CNSs to celebrate and bring attention to the role, and for hospitals and health care systems to pay tribute to the valuable part CNSs play in health care and healthcare delivery.
Riverside’s Clinical Nurse Specialists include:
- Jen Dole
- Elaine Papineau
- Liz Wirth
- Deena Layton
- Margaret Ondrey
- Sue Giacchino
