2025: Celebrating Three Distinguished Recipients
Dr. Pauline Green: Pioneer in Environmental Nursing Concepts
Dr. Green’s decades-long commitment to NANDA-I has been characterized by her visionary approach to nursing diagnosis. Her groundbreaking work in environmental concepts within the NANDA-I taxonomy demonstrated remarkable foresight, addressing crucial aspects of healthcare long before they became mainstream considerations.
Beyond her innovative contributions through concept analysis and diagnosis creation, Dr. Green has recently undertaken the vital task of reviewing and revising the association’s bylaws, demonstrating her continued dedication to NANDA-I’s organizational excellence.
Mr. Richard Nangle: Breaking Language Barriers in Nursing Literature
As an Associate Editor of the NANDA-I journal, Mr. Richard Nangle has played a pivotal role in bridging communication gaps within the international nursing community. His patient and dedicated approach to working with authors, particularly those facing language barriers, has been instrumental in ensuring valuable research and insights reach the global nursing audience. His expertise in managing content across diverse areas of specialization has made him an invaluable asset to the association’s publication efforts.
Dr. Natalie Borg: Creating a Welcoming Environment for Global Scholars
Dr. Borg’s contribution exemplifies the importance of supporting international collaboration in nursing education. Working alongside the renowned Dr. Dorothy Jones at Boston College, she has been instrumental in supporting Gordon Scholars navigating the challenges of international academic exchange.
Her proactive approach in helping scholars manage everything from housing and transportation to immigration requirements has created a welcoming environment for international nursing professionals. Additionally, her behind-the-scenes work in supporting conferences has been crucial to their success.
