Duke Friends of Nursing
The Duke Friends of Nursing program is one of our proudest endeavors ever since its beginning in 1988. Since its inception the program has only grown, recognizing 836 RNs including the 2021 honorees, sponsoring professional development opportunities and much more!
Friends of Nursing is a grateful patient program that was established to recognize professional excellence in nursing practice, nursing education and nursing research, enhance the status of nursing and promote nursing as a rewarding career.
We are so proud of all our recipients such as Kiera Gardner, an outstanding RN and one of eight nurses who helped found a local chapter of the Association for Radiologic & Imaging Nursing. Gardner is the co-author of a published article, “A Case Study: Percutaneous Lung Biopsy and Symptomatic Arterial Air Embolus,” she volunteers for multiple organizations, and much more!
