The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses recognizes and honors nurses who demonstrate exceptional care and compassion in the work they do for patients and families every day.
Patients, visitors, nurses, physicians, and employees of USA Health may nominate a nurse who deserves the DAISY Award by filling out this online form or filling out a paper form and submitting it to the nurse’s station, dropping the nomination in a DAISY collection box located throughout the facility, or leaving it with a staff member.
Each DAISY Award Honoree will be recognized and receive a certificate, a DAISY Award pin, a hand-carved stone sculpture from Zimbabwe, and a spotlight page on the DAISY website. Additionally, the unit will celebrate with Cinnabon cinnamon rolls.
As a deserving recipient of the DAISY Award, this nurse’s clinical skills and compassionate care reflect the kind of nurse that our patients, their families, and our staff recognize as an outstanding role model. They consistently meet at least two (2) of the following criteria:
- Demonstrates teamwork and collaboration to provide the best care for our patients
