Each year, Nurse.com conducts a nationwide search for the best of the best in nursing, generating hundreds of nominations highlighting stories of excellence in leadership, management, education, volunteerism and clinical practice. Nurse leaders serve as judges in scoring the nominations. In the spring, GEM Award events are held in cities nationwide at which finalists are honored and regional winners are announced. In the summer, six nurses from among the regional winners are named national winners, and they are honored with congratulatory receptions at their workplaces in the fall.
