Sea Girt, NJ (August 2018) – Donna Cardillo, RN, CSP, an award-winning businesswoman, respected keynote speaker, best-selling author, and best known as the Inspiration Nurse, is proud to announce her acceptance as a fellow into the American Academy of Nursing. This is such a great honor, which is often compared to the Oscars in the nursing world, an industry she has been proud to be a part of for the past three decades.
The American Academy of Nursing selected 195 highly distinguished nurse leaders as its 2018 class of Academy fellows. Fellow selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care, and sponsorship by two current Academy fellows. Applicants are reviewed by a panel comprised of fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent the nominee’s nursing career has influenced health policies and the health and wellbeing of all. These inductees will be honored at a ceremony to be held during the Academy’s annual policy conference, Transforming Health, Driving Policy, which takes place November 1-3, 2018 in Washington, D.C.
The Academy is currently comprised of more than 2,500 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy, and research. For more information about the American Academy of Nursing and the 2018 policy conference, visit aannet.org/home.
As Cardillo states, “This is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon a nurse for their unique contributions to the nursing profession. I am thrilled that after the induction ceremony in November, I’ll be able to add the initials FAAN (Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing) after my name. As you can imagine, this designation and my membership in the Academy, will allow me to continue to contribute to nursing and health policy and practice around the world in an even more impactful way.”
