Founders Award

About this program

The American Pediatric Surgical Nurses Association (APSNA) offers the Founders Award to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to advancing pediatric surgical patient care and provided exemplary service to APSNA. The award honors established leaders in pediatric surgical nursing whose clinical, scholarly, and organizational achievements demonstrate sustained impact. Applicants are nominated rather than self-submitting, with nominations expected to document the candidate’s contributions and APSNA service through supporting materials such as letters of recommendation.
