Nursing School can be challenging and overwhelming, but also rewarding and fulfilling. The pressures associated with class load, clinicals, exams, and job availability can make it easy to lose sight of the art of caring while learning the science of nursing.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Students was created to recognize and celebrate nursing students for the above-and-beyond care and compassion shown to patients and their families. The DAISY Foundation hopes that this program will inspire and motivate students to provide the best clinical skills possible and to impact patients and families with human spirit and kindness.
Nominations for this award can come from any patient, staff nurse, fellow nursing students, faculty, or member of the community that the student has had a positive impact on.
The nomination period is now through December 1, 2021. The review committee will meet in mid-December and reveal the recipient at Moraine Park’s Pinning Ceremonies. The review committee has specific criteria for the selection committee that can be found on their website. The committee will include the following:
Kelly Shafaie (Representative from Dean’s office)
Barb Brown (Alumni and retired faculty)
Kelli De Ruyter (Partner facility, Cedar Community Advisory Member)
Anne Lemke (Leadership at MPTC)
Student life representatives will take turns on panel (Lisa Manuell, Sandy Botham for this academic year)
Any questions about the DAISY Award can be directed to the Student Nurses Association (SNA) advisors on each campus:
Beaver Dam- Grace Rommelfanger
