About the ASHPE award
The recognition includes the prestigious Gold Award for Best Use of Infographics from the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors. The winning infographic, "Here's how you really feel," was published in Nurse.com's National Nurses Week digital edition. "Every day, our team is dedicated to providing nurses with the latest education, news and career resources," said Lance Pine, OnCourse Learning's vice president, recruitment & advertising solutions. "This infographic was a popular feature because it showcased the voices of nurses around the country and how they feel about the nursing profession." Featuring seven categories of data, including satisfaction and morale, salary and benefits, personal and professional growth and making a difference, the infographic highlights nurses' perspectives in the workplace and could serve as a powerful tool for both healthcare staff and recruiters.
