The Dolphin Award is conferred on an annual basis to honor an individual or group who made sustained contributions to Nurses House over time. The 2017 Dolphin Award recipient is Cathryne Welch, EdD, RN.
Nurses House is the only national organization offering assistance to RN's who are struggling due to their health and financial situation. Nurses House is run by nurses and funded by donations from nurses and the nursing community. Assistance is rendered to those who qualify on a short term basis to help with basic necessary expenses such as rent or mortgage payments and medical needs. The service is a vehicle for nurses to give and receive help from their fellow colleagues and is truly "nurses helping nurses."
