Ingrid Brudenell, professor of nursing at Boise State University, was named 2005 Idaho Nurse of the Year for Academic Education by the March of Dimes, Idaho Chapter. Nurses from throughout Idaho were nominated in categories ranging from nursing management to emergency care. Winners were honored at a gala award ceremony at the DoubleTree Riverside in Boise. This was the third year for the award program.

Brudenell was nominated by St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center. A Boise State faculty member since 1981, her research interests include qualitative research, evidence-based practice, policy development, substance abuse recovery and health promotion.
