Nominate a nurse for the DAISY Award
Every nurse brings skill, experience and compassion to the job – but some truly define what it means to be extraordinary. The DAISY Award is an international recognition for exceptional nurses. If your nurse has provided above-and-beyond care for you or your family, say thank you for the super-human work nurses do every day by nominating yours. Learn more about the DAISY Foundation
What compassionate qualities are DAISY-worthy?
DAISY Award nurses have been the light of hope and healing during dark and difficult times. They help manage and bring meaning to stressful, scary situations. They truly care for and help patients feel respected as people. They save lives.
Share your story
When you recognize the outstanding level of care provided by your nurse, you’re saying thank you for more than his or her expertise. You’re showing gratitude for how they made you feel safe, respected, and supported.
“Just being around her made me feel I was healing a little bit faster”
“Medically she was wonderful, but emotionally she was even better”
“She is an all-star nurse”
“She would not give up on my baby breastfeeding”
“Her work was in line with every principle and tenet of what it means to be a nurse”
In your nomination, you’ll describe how your nurse helped you heal – physically, spiritually and emotionally – and made a difference you’ll never forget.
