There is such powerful transformation that occurs for each nurse who learns that he/she was nominated and then even more so for the monthly recipient. The DAISY Award provides us with an opportunity to pause each month on a unit with the winner and peers and share how ‘simple’ nursing actions, caring, listening and acknowledging are so critical to our patients and families…and what can make the difference in feeling alone versus supported. Thank you for being the catalysts of the opportunities for these amazing transformative moments.
