Sea Girt, NJ – 19 December, 2017 – Donna Cardillo, RN, CSP, an award-winning business woman, respected keynote speaker, and best-selling author, has been awarded the prestigious Vanguard Award by the National Nurses in Business Association. This award was presented at latest National Nurses in Business Association (NNBA) annual educational event – Nurse Entrepreneurship & Career Alternatives Conference in St. Pete Beach, Florida.
The Vanguard Award is presented periodically in the recognition of a nurse entrepreneur exemplar with a proven track record of business success, impact and substantial influence in the nursing profession. Vanguard is defined as the leading position in a movement and the individual recipients demonstrate this leading position in nurse entrepreneurship. The award reads: Recognizing Your Impact, Inspirational Leadership and Extraordinary Contributions to Nurse Entrepreneurship.
The NNBA is best known as the vanguard of the nurse entrepreneur movement and truly an organization of ‘Nurses Helping Nurses Succeed in Business.’ And Cardillo is a prime example of this. A member of NNBA for the past 20 years, Cardillo also keynotes and speaks regularly at these events in addition to numerous other nursing conferences, business groups, and healthcare facilities. These include her signature events yearly, the Empowered Woman, Enlightened Life™ held at the breath-taking Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and the Empowered Nurse, Enlightened Practice™ at the magnificent Miraval Wellness Resort and Spa.

Cardillo is also known worldwide as The Inspiration Nurse, a title she wears proudly as she continues to lead the way showing others that nothing is impossible when you believe in yourself, but also the importance of continuing to grow and learn. Attending conferences such as the NNBA is vital to that effort.
As Cardillo states, “As an advocate for nurses and nurse entrepreneurs, my passion is helping nurses succeed. To receive this award was a true honor and I’m forever humbled and grateful for the work I do with the NNBA and other valuable organizations.”

It also recently won the Director’s Choice Award for Outstanding ‘Life Adjustment Book’ by the Human Relations Indie Book Awards.
