I am so honored to be a part of the DAISY Award program here at Essentia Health in Fargo, ND. Each month having the honor of reading all the nominations reminds me why I do what I do. Whenever I am having a bad day, or an incredibly long day a nurse who won the award or a family who has nominated a nurse will remind me that we are all here for the patients that we care for. To be able to provide this meaningful recognition to our staff is invaluable. We can never thank our nurses enough for doing what they do every day. The DAISY Award is a great way for us to recognize those that have been nominated and have been selected as the DAISY Award winner for the month. Meaningful recognition is vital for employee retention is the DAISY program is an easy and fun way to provide that meaningful recognition.
