Linda Hennig and Jean Kijek, associate deans of UCF’s College of Nursing, were named “Great 100” nurses at the Florida Nurses Association’s Centennial Celebration Awards Gala on Thursday, September 25, 2009\u00a0in St. Pete Beach, Fla.

Recognized for their significant contributions as nurse educators, the trio felt honored and privileged to have been nominated by their peers and selected as Great 100 nurses.
