Andrew Jameton Scholarship

In 2023 the National Nursing Ethics Conference (NNEC) gave its Nursing Ethics Leadership Award posthumously to Dr. Andrew Jameton. While Dr. Jameton was not a nurse, his identification of moral distress and his writing about the phenomenon created a breakthrough and comprehension of the implications it had for health care, and nurses, in particular. In recognition of his groundbreaking work in understanding moral distress, scholarships in his name are available to cover registration for the 2024 NNEC. We are grateful to his family for donating the award to the scholarship fund and to colleagues and friends who have donated in his memory.
