Want to Thank a Nurse?
Submit your story of compassionate and skillful nursing care! The Daisy Awards were established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died from complications of ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated not only the immense clinical skill, but also the enormous compassion shown to Pat and his family by his nurses. When Pat died, they felt compelled to say, “thank you!” to nurses in a very personal way. The Daisy Award is an ongoing recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful and compassionate care nurses provide every day. Active in thousands of healthcare facilities, around the world. Honorees are nominated by patients, families, colleagues and chosen by a committee of their peers. thank
