I have already won a DAISY Award at my facility; can I win a second DAISY Award?
Yes. Nurses can receive more than one recognition from the DAISY Foundation based on multiple nominations for excellent care.
Many Conexus nurses have already been recognized on assignment by their healthcare facilities for their outstanding care and dedication with a DAISY Award.
Through our new partnership with The DAISY Foundation, we aim to amplify this recognition, extending the reach of the DAISY message and creating even more platforms and opportunities for our exceptional nurses to be honored for the extraordinary work they do every day.
If you have a received a DAISY Award in the past, please tell us about it so we can add you to our DAISY recognition page.
