The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses is worldwide recognition program honoring the superhuman work nurses do for patients and families every day. Nurses are nominated by anyone in the organization – patients, family members, other nurses, physicians, other clinicians and staff – anyone who experiences or observes extraordinary compassionate care being provided by a nurse.
