Nominate Your Nurse

Daisy Award Winners – Recognizing Extraordinary Writers

DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY Award was established by the DAISY Foundation in memory of J. Patrick Barnes who died at 33 of ITP, an auto-immune disease. The Barnes Family was awestruck by the clinical skills, caring and compassion of the nurses who cared for Patrick, so they created this national award to say thank you to nurses everywhere.

Anyone can nominate a nurse for the DAISY Award. The DAISY Award committee selects one nurse who exemplifies the following characteristics:

• Established a special connection with a patient/family
• Has significantly made a difference in the life of a patient
• Shows empathy in all situations
• Is an outstanding role model for the nursing profession
• Generates enthusiasm and energy towards meeting the challenges of nursing
• Consistently exhibits excellent interpersonal skills
• Exemplifies the essence of professional nursing in all activities
