Nurses Month is more than a month long celebration, it's a reflection of who we are and how our nurses are at the heart of everything we do.
Every day, our Team Select nurses bring compassion, clinical excellence, and dedication into the homes of the families we serve. Throughout the month of May, we take time to recognize those contributions in a meaningful way; through awards, career development opportunities, and programs designed to support every stage of a nurse's journey.
Because when nurses feel supported, they can do what they do best; deliver exceptional care.
Recognizing Excellence: Our Internal Awards
Recognition is one of the most powerful ways to build a strong nursing culture. In fact, meaningful recognition has been shown to improve morale, engagement, and retention across healthcare organizations.
At Team Select, we believe recognition should be personal, visible, and well-earned.
⭐ Shining Star Award
This award showcases individuals who demonstrate outstanding dedication and effort and is a shining start to our teams and patients.
🌟 Life Changer of the Year
Our highest honor, recognizing nurses whose dedication has made a lasting impact on the lives of the patients and families they serve.
These awards are more than titles, they represent the heart of home health nursing.
Real Nurses. Real Impact.
The true meaning of these awards comes from the nurses who earn them.
Samantha, RN | Shining Star Award Winner
"I love the bond I have created with the families and their child. Home health provides a completely different perspective on care, I'm able to focus all my energy on one patient and give them the best care possible."
Tamara, RN, BSN | Life Changer of the Year
"I love home healthcare because I get to see my patients thrive as much as possible in their home setting, travel with them, attend school functions and enjoy their "Best Life". I love supporting my families so they can have their child at home with them and not in a hospital."
Jorge, RN | Newcomer Award Winner
"Just watching the progression of someone getting better. One of the most impactful ones was watching a disabled child with cerebral palsy get into his gait trainer for the first time and just start kicking off and walking. And I'm like, wow, that's beautiful."
Sherry, RN | Life Changer of the Year
"My most rewarding moments working in home health is seeing the progress in these patients meeting their milestones. When there's little hope sometimes when they come home, and you see that the patients and the families [are] struggling. It's amazing to see how a small piece of comfort, understanding, and listening makes a difference. Those are very, very, very rewarding moments to me… Is to help these families and their little ones."
These stories reflect what makes home health nursing with Team Select so unique: a true patient connection, clinical support, and incredible impact.

Supporting You Beyond the Shift
Recognition also means making day-to-day work more rewarding.
At Team Select, we offer programs that acknowledge effort, reward performance, and build a positive culture:
Jolly
Recognition should extend beyond annual awards and appreciation events. Through our Jolly rewards program, Team Select nurses can earn points for their hard work, dedication, and everyday contributions to patient care.
Points can be redeemed for rewards, Team Select gear, gift cards, and other incentives designed to make recognition both meaningful and fun. The program helps celebrate the day-to-day moments that often make the biggest impact: whether it’s picking up extra shifts, supporting teammates, delivering exceptional care, or going above and beyond for families.
Referral Bonuses
Some of the best nurses come recommended by the nurses already making a difference within our teams. That’s why Team Select offers referral bonus opportunities that reward employees for helping connect great clinicians with meaningful career opportunities.
Our referral program supports continued team growth while strengthening the culture and collaboration within local offices across the country.
Local Office Celebrations
Across our 50+ locations nationwide, Nurses Month celebrations are designed to feel personal, thoughtful, and community-driven. Local offices recognize nurses in ways that reflect the unique culture of their teams and the incredible impact nurses make within their communities.

At Team Select, recognition is not one-size-fits-all — it’s personal because our nurses are personal in the care they provide.
Why Recognition Matters in Nursing
Nursing is one of the most impactful professions in healthcare and recognition plays a critical role in supporting those who choose this path.
