2023 Top Nurses

This year, 31 outstanding caregivers from Johns Hopkins Hospital and its affiliates have been named “top nurses” by Baltimore Magazine, presented with the publication’s 2023 Excellence in Nursing award.

They were chosen from hundreds of nominations submitted by peers, supervisors, and patients. An expert panel of senior nurse advisers reviewed the nominations and selected the region’s top 141 nurses, in 28 specialties, for their extraordinary contributions to health care.
