Nominations are open for the Lutheran Nurse of the Year award for 2022. Launched in 2020 to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale, who is recognised as the founder of modern nursing, the award recognises faithful and outstanding service during the preceding calendar year by a registered or enrolled nurse who is an active member of a Lutheran congregation in Australia or New Zealand. The inaugural award winner in 2020 was Angela Uhrhane, of Albury-Wodonga, New South Wales-Victoria. Last year’s recipient was Wayne Kroker, of Nundah, Queensland. Nominations may be submitted by congregations, schools, aged-care facilities or other bodies or agencies within the LCANZ. Nominations must be lodged with Lutheran Nurses Association of Australia secretary Mrs Rose Howard, with supporting documentation, by no later than 31 March 2022.
