This year OAAPN recognized four individuals for their inspiring commitment to the APRN profession, their patients, community, and better access to care for all Ohioans. In this issue, we would like to celebrate Cynthia Stives, DNP, APRN-CNP, our 2024 Preceptor of the Year!
Cynthia’s mentoring style is supportive, approachable, and empowering, fostering growth through constructive feedback and encouragement while also being deeply rooted in real-world clinical experiences. She exemplifies the professional characteristics of an APRN through exceptional clinical expertise, compassionate patient care, and strong leadership skills.
The OAAPN Preceptor of the Year Award is given to an APRN who exemplifies professionalism, service to others, and a commitment to lifelong learning and the future of our practice. Congratulations Cynthia!
