My aunt is a 92yo working nurse and would like to nominate her for nurse of the year

10 My Great Aunt has been a nurse since she was in her twenties and now she is 92 years old. She is still working as an Rn at a nursing facility, full time and still does double shifts. She takes care of people who are by far younger than her. I am looking for a way this woman can get recognized for all she has done for so many people, for so many years. My family and i agree that she will never stop working, she loves what she does and will never quit. Please can someone help me, I would love for her to have the recognition she deserves. Thank you...

This is awesome!! What a lady!!! Pulling double shifts at 92?! This tells me I will have no excuse once I become a nurse. It may have to do a lot with where she works also. People are more prone to stay with a company if they love what they do and they are recognized for what they do!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I'm more than excited to continue this journey.:-)

Well she must be some awesome lady! She does deserve something.

You might alert the local newspaper for a possible story or picture. Also her nsg school alumnae association might be interested (if it's still around?)Kudos to her!!!!

Good for her! Follow NRSKaren suggestions I also think calling your local news or even Good morning America they LOVE those humanitarian stories...and she is very special!!!!Hats off to your Aunt!!!!

That's fantastic! What an inspiration you have in your family.

What an amazing story!

She wins! Holy cow...

Wow!! That is who I wanna be when I grow up!!!

Wow. She needs to be in the news and Oprah !!!! Amazing

Wow! I am so impressed! And to think I'm in my 20s and wish I could retire sometimes! The place she works for should be recognizing her too.
