The Center for Professional Development and Practice congratulates DAISY award winners at Children’s!
DAISY awards were given out to three Children’s nurses during the week of January 12th. Each nurse was surprised on the unit with an awards presentation.
Here are the award recipients:
|
"The compassion I was given by Lisa, gave me what I needed to get through this difficult moment, one of the longest, most anxious, and most vulnerable moments of my life as a parent. What a difference kindness and humane care made for our family that night in the ER."

Lisa Gross, RN

"Terri consistently gives the utmost care to her patients. She gives her job everything everyday by making sure each patient and their families are comfortable and satisfied with their care to the best of her abilities."
– Excerpt from Terri’s nomination

Terri Jarvi, RN
Float Team, St. Paul

"Patty has met all my son's needs above and beyond. Her caring manner has made this difficult time very manageable for us as parents. She exceeds excellence and compassion."

Patricia Manfred, RN
6th Floor, Minneapolis

The DAISY award was initiated by the DAISY Foundation in 2000 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Patrick died at the age of 33 from complications of ITP, a little known, uncommon autoimmune 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 honors up to three nurses for being an “Extraordinary Nurse.” Families and co-workers are encouraged to make nominations. Nomination forms can be found on patient care 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 Lisa Gross, Terri Jarvi, and Patricia Manfred!
