A gem of a person, Asma Hanif of Muslimat Al Nisaa was recognized for her tireless volunteerism and service. She was one of the 30 finalists for this year’s DMV GEM Awards. A dinner was held June 10, 2015  in Greenbelt, MD, where the six winners were chosen from 30 finalists in the categories of Advancing and Leading the Profession, Clinical Nursing, Inpatient, Education and Mentorship, Home, Community and Ambulatory Care, Patient and Staff Management, and Volunteerism and Service. The GEM award is organized by Nurse.com, the website and magazine, which publishes award-winning news circulated regionally to a combined audience of more than 600,000 RNs.

Sr Asma was selected as one of the five finalists in her category which was won by Ghanaian-American Daniel Ampomah, PhD, RN, NE-BC, faculty instructor, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Arlington, VA.

Asma Hanif, an advanced nurse practitioner, has worked tirelessly in providing care for the homeless, refugees, trafficking victims and women who are victims of domestic violence for more than the past 30 years.

"Our nursing excellence program honors nurses and the extraordinary contributions they make to patients, the profession and the nation’s health care. It has become the biggest and the best, and it is unique in the fact that the nurses it recognizes are nominated by nurses, selected by nurses and honored by nurses,” read an offical Nurse.com statement.

Currently Hanif is rasing money to help four Muslim children from falling into the foster care system- visit www.mnisaa.org to donate.
