title: Oklahoma Nurses Association 2005 House of Delegates resolution. The Nightingale tribute.
abstract: Nursing is a calling, a way of life. Nursing is a service profession that can not be lived in isolation. Nurses rely on each other for the synergistic effect of teamwork in our efforts of care giving. It is appropriate that we honor our colleagues not only during their career, but also at the end of life's journey. The Nightingale Tribute is a way of honoring our colleagues at the end of life's journey. The Tribute has been fully developed and piloted by the Kansas State Nurses Association. A brochure describing The Nightingale Tribute for use by funeral homes and those presenting the Tribute is available free online at http://www.nursingworld.org/snas/ks/index.htm The purpose of bringing this action report to the ONA HOD is to encourage the use of The Nightingale Tribute in Oklahoma.
