ELIZABETHTOWN – Terri Duncan, RN, BSN, has been selected as a Great 100 Nurse for 2011. The award is an annual honor given to nurses who exhibit nursing excellence and make a difference in their community.
Duncan, a Clarkton native, has more than 20 years of nursing experience and currently serves as a Clinical Educator at Bladen Healthcare. Her duties include educating health system nurses about best practices and evidence-based medicine. She also serves as a patient advocate by looking for ways to improve healthcare for all patients.
Her other duties include everything from educating employees about smoking cessation, serving as a hospital liaison to area nursing programs, and helping instruct new nurses during clinical rotations.
When she’s not working, Duncan talks to civic and faith-based groups about healthcare. For the past 10 years, she has touched on issues such as senior health, exercise, meal preparation and healthcare decisions.

Just 100 nurses are chosen each year to receive the Great 100 award. It was created by the Great 100 organization, a grassroots-nursing group created in 1988 to recognize outstanding registered nurses in North Carolina.
