estaurant gift cards are
nice, but if you're looking
for a way to honor your
nurses for their extraordinary com-
passionate and skillful care in a
way they'll cherish long after the
free lunch, check out the DAISY
Award program.
More than 3,500 healthcare facili-
ties and schools of nursing in all 50
states and 21 other countries
honor nurses with the DAISY
Award. Close to 125,000 nurses
have been honored, including
Laurie Maher, RN, an orthopedics
nurse at Bryn Mawr (Pa.) Hospital.
Ms. Maher's nomination from a patient noted: Laurie went above
and beyond for me during my entire stay on her unit. Her compas-
sion is just unbelievable and her knowledge and professionalism are
beyond compare. After my procedure and upon admission, I was in
unbearable pain, but Laurie made sure my needs were addressed
right away and my pain was managed correctly. Thank you, Laurie,
for everything!
Patients, their families or colleagues can
nominate a nurse for a DAISY Award for
