The Nightingale Tribute honors any registered or licensed practical nurse for their commitment to their patients and dedication to nursing. The Nightingale Tribute may be presented by a friend or nurse colleague at a memorial gathering and during any part of the pre or post-funeral service that is appropriate to the nurse's religious tradition. To ensure inclusion of The Nightingale Tribute, it is important to coordinate its presentation with the family, funeral home and place of worship. 

ONA honors nurses who have passed away by including their names in a Nightingale Tribute included in the Annual Book of Reports.
