Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the two Dubbo nurses were among 43 finalists from across the state.
"These awards are an opportunity to honour nurses and midwives across NSW who go above and beyond and make a real difference not only within their teams but, most importantly, to the care they provide to patients," he said.
Mr Saunders said more than 53,000 nurses and midwives were working in full-time and part-time positions in NSW Health hospitals and health services.
