"Thank you so much for awarding me the Margaret Collatt Service Award for 2023. It is truly an honor! Education has always been very important to me – in fact, I was a teacher before I returned to school and became a nurse, and throughout my career I have tried to emphasize the importance of continuing professional development and lifelong learning to everyone with whom I interact. I very fortunately stumbled into correctional nursing 28 years ago, and it has been a wonderful career thus far. I have seen remarkable positive changes in correctional nursing recognition as a specialty; and in correctional nursing professionalism and practice, and I believe education of both correctional nurses and our colleagues outside the wall played a huge part in this elevation of our specialty. It is also due to organizations like the Academy that support correctional nursing and correctional healthcare.
This award is even more meaningful because I knew Margaret, and always valued her thoughtful contributions to whatever project we were working on. The fact that the Academy believes that my contributions to Correctional Nursing are worthy of this award is incredible, and very much appreciated! Again, thank you for this recognition."
-Dr. Lori Roscoe
