This award is given in tribute and memory of one of
Massachusetts finest Emergency Nurses, Karen O’Neill. Karen died well before her time, but not before she accomplished what many people never accomplish in a lifetime. Karen was an emergency nurse at
Massachusetts General
Hospital and later worked as the clinical nurse specialist at
Norwood
Hospital. At the time of her death, Karen was a nurse practitioner at
Carney
Hospital
. She was a true example of an active ENA member. She was involved in the National Government Affairs Committee, Chairperson of NERS 1996 and the recipient of the National ENA Professionalism Award. Due to her passion for promoting the education and advancement of emergency nursing Karen established a scholarship for advance practice emergency nurses. She died in 1997 at age 38.
Below are the criteria that this award will be based on.
