She rescued you by prepping weekly Joint Commission audits for you. He saved they day and knew exactly what you needed to meet OSHA requirements. She quoted CPT codes and regulations for nursing visits faster than you could say “revenue cycle.” He had every bit of the medication reconciliation policy researched and documented for the practice council meeting. She explained the clinical practice guidelines behind the new procedure technique.

TheValidatorThese people are one-in-the-same. They are Nurse Validator Superheroes, and they save the day all. the. time. They look like rule-followers, and yes, yes they are that (and thank heavens for that!), but they are so, so, so, soooo much more! They are the ones we run to when we need to know what to do and how to do it from a real person – a professional who proves himself or herself on dotting those i’s and crossing all the t’s. And our healthcare system and patient care is all the better because of their awesomeness. What better way to say ‘thank you’ than to nominate your Validator Superhero for Mosby’s fourth annual Superheroes of Nursing Educator category?

The fourth annual Superheroes of Nursing contest seeks to recognize excellence in the nursing industry as a reflection of the type of excellence that Mosby’s Nursing Suite products instill in nurses. Anyone and everyone is invited to nominate nurses who excel at certain aspects of their jobs – patient care, education, standards and regulations, time management and technology innovation. Each of these core qualities are tied to superhero roles, and the categories for the winners – the Protector, Educator, the Informer and the Validator.

The Validator category is currently open for nominations. It closes on June 15th, so nominate your Superhero today!

Nominations are accepted at ElsevierHeroes.com and Mosby’s Suite Facebook page. The four winners will be announced via Facebook in September. The winners will also be honored at the ANCC National Magnet Conference® October 8-10, 2014 in Dallas, Texas.
