The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses Nomination Form

The DAISY Award is an international recognition program started in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Pat’s family experienced first-hand the difference his nurses made in his care through clinical excellence and outstanding compassionate care. The family created The DAISY Award to express gratitude to nurses and to enable other patients, families, and staff to thank and honor their special nurses.

Please visit DAISYFoundation.org to learn more about Pat's story and how The DAISY Award recognizes Extraordinary Nurses.

The PETALS Award Nomination Form

The PETALS Award is a new program administered by the Division of Nursing to thank those who partner with nurses in caring for our patients and families. It was developed as a complementary program to the DAISY Award, which recognizes nurses for providing exceptional patient care. Patients, family members and other staff members can nominate staff for the PETALS Award.
