Winning an award is usually enough of a surprise for the recipient. But for Joyce Black, PhD, one of her recent awards came with an extra element of surprise \u2013 it was named after her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Black, a professor in the UNMC College of Nursing-Omaha Division, was named the inaugural winner of the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel\u2019s (NPIAP) Joyce Black Award, at the NPIAP Annual Conference in February. It is given to individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to advancing pressure injury evidence-based practice through educational initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Black was honored for \u201cextraordinary efforts in disseminating evidence-based knowledge and her unwavering commitment to educational initiatives have set a high standard for excellence,\u201d according to a release issued by NPIAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did Dr. Black not know she was up for the award, she didn\u2019t even know it existed until the awards ceremony at the NPIAP conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey started talking about a new award and how they named it for me because of all the teaching I had done,\u201d she said. \u201cI was just sitting in the audience, looking at who would be a good person for the award and the next thing I heard was they were giving to the person it was named for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was so flattered to get an award in my name. I didn\u2019t see that coming at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was unexpected, Dr. Black said she\u2019s excited about the new tradition and the chance to hand it off to the next winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe next time this is given out, I\u2019ll be the person handing it to someone else,\u201d she said. \u201cThat means they\u2019re an excellent teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m already thinking about the next award winners in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
