Announcing
The 2010 Great 100 Nurses
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

You are cordially invited to attend
Texas Nurses Association, Districts Three and Four and the Dallas-Fort Worth Nurse Executives proudly announce the twentieth annual "Great One-Hundred Nurses of 2010" and would cordially request the honor of your presence at this gala event.
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center

6:30 PM -- 7:30 PM     Cocktail Hour with cash bar
7:30 PM -- 8:30 PM     Awards Program
8:30 PM -- 10:00 PM   Reception
This event will honor one hundred nurses in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who exemplify excellence in the art and science of nursing. The "Great 100" is unique in that honorees do not have to belong to a particular professional organization or practice in a particular clinical specialty. All proceeds from the event will provide funds for scholarship for area nursing students.
There are many registered nurses in the metroplex who make a significant contribution to health care in the area, and we hope that you will accept our invitation and help us honor those outstanding nurses whose courage, compassion, and commitment makes a difference in the community.
