Takes time to teach and train student nurses, recognizing the importance of training them thoroughly. Friendly. Easy to talk to. Knowledgeable and capable.

 About the Daisy Award

The DAISY Award was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, whose life was shortened by an autoimmune disease at the age of 33. As a way to honor his memory, but also to recognize the nursing excellence that so impressed them during his hospitalization, they came up with the acronym D.A.I.S.Y., which stands for “diseases attacking the immune system.” Daisy Award recipients are selected based on special personal acts of kindness and compassion they provide patients and their families as well as outstanding clinical skill.
