Wessman recognized by nursing organization

Awards and honors
03/15/2010

Moses Cone Health System Executive Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Joan Wessman, RN, MS, will be recognized with the Mentor Award from the AONE Institute, part of the American Organization of Nurse Executives and a unit of the Health Research and Educational Trust.

The award is one of AONE’s 2010 recognition awards, which highlight AONE members who have demonstrated “the best of the best” in leadership practice.

“I am honored to receive this award. It is wonderful to be recognized for doing something I am passionate about – mentoring and growing nursing leaders,” Wessman says.

She was cited for supporting the development of aspiring nurse leaders and nurse managers.

Wessman has published articles in professional journals and is an active member of many professional organizations. She was named a Visionary Nurse Leader in 2006 by Nursing Management magazine and a Distinguished Alumni of The Ohio State University College of Nursing in 2008. Wessman joined Moses Cone Health System in 2003.

Wessman will be honored in April during the AONE 43rd annual meeting and exposition in Indianapolis, IN.
