ACENDIO Honors 2008 Award Recipients
2008 Mentor Awards The Mentor Award is presented at the discretion of the NANDA-I President, and is intended to honor an individual or individuals who have excelled at mentorship in their own practice setting (e.g., mentoring students, clinical nurses, informatics nurses, researchers, etc.) as well as within the NANDA-I organization itself. Recipients of this award therefore receive the highest award possible from the organization. The first two recipients of this award were Dr. Marjory Gordon and Dr. Dorothy Jones.
