Congratulations to Children’s first three DAISY award winners! The awards were given out to nursing staff during the weeks of April 14th and 22nd. Each nurse was presented with the award during a surprise ceremony on the unit.

The DAISY award was initiated by the DAISY Foundation in 1999 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 from complications of ITP, a little known, but uncommon auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique way of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.
Each quarter, Children’s will be honoring up to three nurses for being an “Extraordinary Nurse.” Families and co-workers are encouraged to make nominations. Nomination forms can be found on your units and on the Nurse Web. We encourage you to nominate a nurse who shows compassionate care and extraordinary clinical skills with their patients for this national award.
Congratulations again to Kim Mcphatter, Samantha Myers, and Lori Smith!
