There are so many, many examples of outstanding DAISY Award programs where every presentation to an Honoree is an experience everyone present will always remember, especially the nurse being recognized. Where patients and families (and colleagues) are well-aware of the opportunity to express their gratitude to their nurses by nominating them for The DAISY Award. Where nurses who are nominated know that their compassionate care has made a difference in their patients' lives.
Here are 2 examples:

As you embark on your DAISY journey and embed meaningful nurse recognition in your organization's culture, we hope you will be inspired by these. If you want more inspiration, just ask your Regional Program Director to refer you to a DAISY Coordinator in your area.
