Team Award

The DAISY Team Award recognizes collaboration by two or more people, led by a nurse, who go beyond the traditional role of nursing to meet the needs of patients, families or our community in ways that improve outcomes.

The DAISY Nurse Educator Award

The DAISY Nurse Educator Award was created to honor every nurse educator for their inspirational influence on the Nurses of today and tomorrow.   Clinical educators, nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners, and preceptors ensure that students, new graduates, and nurses transitioning into specialty practice are competent and confident in their skills.
