Nurse Honor Wall

Recognizing and celebrating the contributions of nurses

The Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce (CCNW) Nurse Honor Wall is a special place to recognize the incredible nurses who make a difference every day. Whether you’re celebrating a nurse who cared for you or a loved one, honoring a recent graduate, recognizing a well-earned retirement, or showing pride in a special nurse in your life — your tribute helps shine a light on their compassion and dedication. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will benefit CCNW scholarships and workforce awards.
