/PRNewswire/ -- Rasmussen University today announced its 2023
Nursing Excellence Award winners as part of the University's
National Nurses Month activities. Thirty-six Rasmussen student and

Singer, president of Rasmussen University. "At Rasmussen,
we're honored to provide access and opportunity for students who
want to pursue high-quality nursing education, and we're proud of
our incredible community of nurse educators who are passionately
committed to teaching the next generation of nurses."
Dr. Savitri Dixon-Saxon, senior
vice president and provost of Rasmussen added, "Inspiring,
encouraging, innovative and passionate—these are just a few words
used to describe this year's Nursing Excellence Award winners by
their nominators. Our nursing faculty and student honorees truly
exemplify Rasmussen's commitment to academic excellence, community
enrichment and service to the public good. We couldn't be more
pleased to honor their devotion to the profession during National
Nurses Month."
