Wiley-Blackwell and the ACMHN are extending an invitation for nominations for the 2008 Mental Health Nurse of the Year award.

Sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell, this prestigious award was established to publicly recognise the achievements of mental health nurses, encourage professional development amongst mental health nurses, and promote the importance of mental health nursing as a specialty.

A special selection committee will assess all nominees on the following selection criteria:

  2. Mental health service or community activities that show professional leadership and promote a positive mental health image through advocacy.
  3. Accomplishments in mental health nursing practice outside of regular duties or
    role functions.
