Two nursing units earn Beacon Awards for Excellence
Join us in congratulating the UF Health Shands Cancer Hospital Surgical/Trauma ICU 4 West and UF Health Shands Hospital Post Anesthesia Care Unit nursing teams for earning gold- and silver-level Beacon Awards for Excellence, respectively. This three-year designation, awarded by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, affirms that units have met stringent criteria consistent with other well-respected honors, such as Magnet recognition from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
These accomplishments make the Surgical/Trauma ICU 4 West team the first at UF Health Shands to receive two gold-level Beacon recognitions, and further reflects our PACU team’s dedication to excellence, as it was the first PACU in the nation to receive a Beacon Award (bronze) in 2014.
