A New Way to Celebrate: ARN Awards and Scholarships Now Open

Every day, rehabilitation nurses go above and beyond to provide compassionate, expert care, and it's time to celebrate that dedication. ARN's Awards and Scholarships program recognizes members who exemplify excellence, leadership, innovation, and commitment to the field of rehabilitation nursing.

Celebrate You Or Someone You Admire

ARN members, supervisors, colleagues, and even family members are invited to submit nominations. Many awards allow for self-nomination, making this a unique opportunity to highlight your own contributions or those of someone you admire.

A New Way to Celebrate: 2025 Awards and Scholarships Ceremony

For the first time ever, ARN will host a virtual Awards and Scholarships Ceremony. While we've traditionally recognized winners at the annual conference, this new format invites a wider audience - peers, friends, and family from across the country to join the celebration.
