Daisy Award Recipients from 2010- present
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was established by the DAISY Foundation (Foundation for the elimination of Diseases Attacking the Immune System) in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. The Award is given to honor, recognize and express appreciation for the extraordinary work that nurses do every day. The DAISY Award honors and recognizes nurses who work collaboratively with others, serve as a role model for the profession, communicate clearly and effectively, and have made a special connection and significant difference with the patient or family. A brief description of the program and nomination form are attached here. Nominations are also being accepted online using the following link: www.daisynomination.org/UCSF
