The Nurse Blake Awards 2026 are officially here! Our annual celebration of the nurses who make a real impact every single day. From the coworker who always has your back to the professor who changed your entire career path, Nurse Blake Awards 2026 is your chance to give them the recognition they deserve.

This year, we’re accepting nominations in six categories: Nurse, CNA, Student, Professor, Preceptor, and Manager. Every nomination submitted is also one entry to win a $250 Amazon gift card, just for showing love. Nominations open January 19 and close January 30 at 11:59 PM. Then, we’ll announce the Top 3 finalists in each category and open voting so the community can help choose the winners.

We will have six winners, one per category, each receiving a FREE stateroom aboard NurseCon at Sea 2026 and a cash prize of $1,500.
