Nineteen nurse researchers will be inducted into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame of the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International.

The induction will happen during STTI’s 24th International Nursing Research Congress, which takes place July 22-26 in Prague.

Created in 2010, the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame recognizes nurse researchers who have achieved significant and sustained national or international recognition and whose research has improved the profession and the people it serves. The award presentation is sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell.

STTI President Suzanne Prevost, RN, PhD, COI, noted the inductees come from 11 states and Australia, Singapore, South Africa, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan. "Their research projects will be shared through the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library online so that nurses everywhere can benefit from their discoveries and insights into patient outcomes, healthcare policies and much more."
