Nurses Honor Guards: Serving to Honor Our Own.

Abstract

Abstract: Nurses Honor Guards across the United States provide an invaluable service to the families and memories of fallen colleagues as they demonstrate appreciation for the nurse's selfless caring and service to individuals, families, and their communities. These volunteers also recognize nurses who achieve significant milestones in their lives and careers through living memorials that acknowledge the nurse's achievements and dedication. Insights from Nurses Honor Guard participants and recommendations for establishing a successful Nurses Honor Guard chapter are offered.
