Nominations open for McDonald’s Nurse Excellence Awards

McDonald's announced the launch of the second-annual McDonald's Nurse Excellence Awards, aimed at celebrating local nurses.

Callawegians can nominate outstanding nurses for the award. The nomination period began Monday and will continue until June 19.

The award seeks to "honor nurses who exhibit the ultimate dedication to their patients and go above and beyond to ensure our community is taken care of," a news release states.

10 nurses nominated for the award will be selected to receive a $200 Visa gift card on behalf of the local McDonald's.

"When we first launched this program last year, it really took off and the community's response was overwhelming by nominating nurses throughout the area," Ryan Ruprecht, local McDonald's owner/operator, said in a release. "We are looking forward to another year of honoring our area nurses for all they do."
