In the hospital environment, recognition for
nurses is another way to promote the image of
nursing. Many organizations use nurses in their
advertisements or feature nurses prominently on
their web sites. In addition, nurses are honored
during structured organizational events in a variety
of ways, such as in publications, with plaques,
or with monetary supplements. The image of the
nurse is of value to nursing as a discipline and
should be of value to other professionals and society
as a whole.
