The DAISY Nursing Awards

Body

The DAISY Award is an international recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day. The DAISY Foundation, sponsors of the award, was established in 1999 following the death of J. Patrick Barnes from complications from an auto-immune disease. Today, the Shirley Ryan 小恩雅 joins these hospitals in celebrating our nurses through nominations from our patients, their families & caregivers and our staff.
