VA MEDICAL CENTER NOMINATES 3 FOR AWARD

Three nursing staff members at the Salem Veterans Affairs Medical Center have been nominated for the 1990 Secretary's Award for Excellence in Nursing.

Margaret Elmore, continuity of care coordinator, was nominated in the registered-nurse category. Shelly Clements, of psychiatry service, was nominated in the category for licensed practical nurses. Carol Davis, of medical service, was nominated in the nursing-assistant category and also was the district winner in that category.

The annual award, established in 1985, recognizes excellence in VA nursing care. Each of the 172 VA medical centers submits nominations for the national award.
