Each year ANNA recognizes and rewards outstanding achievement in areas such as clinical practice, education, management, quality care, research, and collaboration. The Kelly McManus Memorial Award aims to recognize a nurse who, through clinical excellence, has provided care to patients receiving frequent (daily, every other day, 5 times/week) home hemodialysis that is above and beyond the requirements of his/her position. Candidates for the award will be nominated. Candidates must be a current full member of ANNA, having been a member for a minimum of the last 2 years as of the application deadline. Candidates must be actively involved in nephrology nursing related health care services and be active participants in ANNA at the local and/or national level. Evidence of commitment and competence in the training and care of home hemodialysis patients and evidence of contributing toward improved patient care through utilization of relevant evidence-based nephrology nursing practice are required. Candidates must also be committed to personal and professional growth through continuing education. Candidates must be involved in the continuous improvement of patient care through activities such as patient recruitment and selection; demonstrating initiative to assist in the start and growth of a home hemodialysis program; patient education; and other patient-centered activities.
