Welcome to Great Iowa Nurses
Recognizing Iowa Nurses who routinely go above and beyond every day and take that extra step to ensure safe, compassionate care for their patients
About us
History
Hundred Great Iowa Nurses was established in 2004 and hosted by the University of Iowa until 2020. In 2022, with the support of Mary Greeley Medical Center, the program, now called Great Iowa Nurses, is returning to recognize Iowa nurses that routinely go above and beyond every day and take that extra step to ensure safe, compassionate care for their patients. These great nurses share their experience and knowledge to improve the health of their communities. They also take on leadership and mentoring responsibilities, serving as role models for everyone they work with, especially those just entering the profession.
Our Goal
Honoring great nurses is the goal of Great Iowa Nurses, a non-profit program that recognizes nurses in the state of Iowa and spotlights qualities that demonstrate efforts beyond those expected of a nurse within their normal duties.
A Fresh Start
The Great Iowa Nurses program will be starting fresh and providing the opportunity for previous winners to be nominated and selected again. The program will allow nurses to be reselected every five years, should they continue to do great things worthy of this recognition.
Selected nurses represent many sectors of health care, including, but not limited to, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and school and office nurses.
