A Letter To Nurses EverywhereIn late 1999, our Patrick developed the auto-immune disease IdiopathicThrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). He spent eight weeks in the hospital with virtuallyno platelets, receiving every line of treatment then available to him and the best carepossible. Tragically, he died at 33 years old, leaving a huge hole in our hearts and astrong desire to do something to help keep his wonderful spirit alive.Days later, as we reflected on those worstweeks of our lives, we realized that we hadexperienced one positive thing in all thatsorrow. Perhaps for the first time in our lives,we saw what nurses do every day, and wewere awestruck. Not only by the excellentclinical skill nurses brought to Patrick’scondition and treatment but especially by theway his nurses delivered their care. We wereso moved by the way they talked to Patrick,the way they touched him, and the little thingsthey did to make him more comfortable – evenwhen he was totally sedated. Pat’s nurses’ J. Patrick Barnes, 1999compassion and kindness extended to all ofus in his family so that we came to think of them not as Pat’s nurses but our nurses.ThAewDaArIdS®Y When Patrick died, we felt compelled to say Thank You to nurses everywhere for what you all do every day for patients and families. NoFOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSES matter where you work. No matter where youIN MEMORY OF J. PATRICK BARNES are. We knew our experience with nurses could not be unique. That compassion is at nurses’ coreand that there must be other patients and families who would want to express theirgratitude through meaningful recognition of their nurses. We believed the stories ofextraordinary nurses needed to be shared and celebrated all year long so that nurseswould truly understand the impact they have on the lives of the people they care for.We created The DAISY Foundation, with DAISY standing for Diseases Attackingthe Immune System, and with it The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses - apartnership with healthcare organizations to honor nurses who go “above andbeyond” and make extraordinary differences in patients’ and families’ experiencesin healthcare. Little did we know when we presented the first DAISY Award to onewww.DAISYfoundation.org @DAISYfoundation

of Patrick’s nurses in Seattle that today, over 17 years later, there would be over3.000 healthcare facilities and schools of nursing in the U.S. and 17 other countries,honoring their nurses month-in and month-out. About 100,000 nurses have receivedthis recognition. Moreover, over 1 million nurses have been nominated by theirpatients, families, and colleagues for providing extraordinary, compassionate care. Inthe midst of intense emotions – fear, pain, grief, even the great joy at a baby’s birth – anurse’s impact has been shared by someone who simply had to tell their story of whattheir nurse meant to them.There are other ways we say Thank You to nurses – with funding for research andevidence-based practice projects that will help them improve their practice andoutcomes, by honoring nursing faculty who instruct and inspire our nurses not onlywhile they are in school but for all the years of their practice, and with a program toencourage nursing students to always remember that no matter how complex thetasks and technology of nursing are, they are taking care of vulnerable people whodeserve the best of their humanity and their compassionate connection.We hope you will read through this booklet Bonnie and Mark Barnes accepting thethat describes The DAISY Foundation’s work, Foundation for New York State Nurses’knowing that our passion for what you as nursesdo every day is boundless. Our respect for your Nightingale Award, 2016intelligence, creativity, resourcefulness, skill,and judgment is deep. And most important, ourgratitude for your compassion – for the thingsyou do that you take for granted but that makeall the difference to those in your care – is simplyprofound.With our warmest regards,Bonnie Barnes, FAAN Mark Barnes, FAANCo-Founder, President Co-Founder, Chairman“Like Us” @DAISY Foundation Front cover photo: Hahnemann University Hospital #@DAISY4Nurses, tag your photos DAISYAward

DAISY Gifts of AppreciationDAISY GIFTSPresented in an eco-friendly DAISY gift bag,each DAISY Award recipient receives:A DAISY AWARD CERTIFICATEpresented in a handsome portfolio.A SPECIAL DAISY AWARD PINA SHONA SCULPTURE ENTITLEDA HEALER’S TOUCHThese serpentine stone sculptures are hand-carved for us byartists of the Shona Tribe in Zimbabwe. The sculptures areespecially meaningful not only because they so sensitivelydepict the embracing relationship nurses have with theirpatients but also because of theprofound respect the Shona people paytheir traditional healers. Shona healersare affectionately regarded as treasuresby those they care for, and this describesexactly how we and the organizationswe partner with feel about nurses.DAISY’s purchase of these sculpturesis very important to the people whocarve these beautiful pieces. Given thedesperate situation in Zimbabwe, thereare no tourists to buy their work, andwith extremely high unemployment inthe country, there is little work. So themoney we pay them for the sculptures isa tremendous help to the artists and thehundreds of people in their extendedfamilies they are able to support.Clearly, the incredible work being doneby nurses is reaching around the worldto impact the lives of these gifted artistsand their families.“Like Us” @DAISY Foundation #@DAISY4Nurses, tag your photos DAISYAward

At each presentation we tell everyone present that whenever they enjoy a cinnamon roll and smell that cinnamon aroma, to remember the impact they make, the difference they make and how special they truly are. They may think of their work as routine but their patients certainly do not! What is ordinary to nurses is extraordinary to patients and their families.www.DAISYfoundation.org @DAISYfoundation

The Extraordinary Work DAISYNurses Do Every DayA nurse in the Denver area, nominating two extraordinarynurses at Lutheran Medical Center in Denver, wrote,“We often measure heroism in terms of great deedsfraught with danger and personal risk, but I also believethat heroism is kindness and mercy, selflessly rendered.”The stories of nurses nominated for The DAISY Awardcertainly reflect this heroism.

DAISY for Nursing StudentsNursing school is just plain tough… for students and for the faculty who prepare them for careers in thecountry’s most trusted profession.For students, learning the clinical skills, technology,and tasks of tending to people when they are ill is a lotto master. Moreover, getting good grades to assurethey get the job they want can be all-consumingin the competitive world of nursing school. So it iseasy when students are in the thralls of learning thescience of nursing to lose sight of the art of caring.Yet, students don’t lose sight of the fact that they are DAISY in Training Honoree Jill Lancaster at University oftreating a human being who needs all the sensitivity Tennessee College of Nursingand compassion they can bring to patients who are inthe height of emotion and most vulnerable.We have met so many students who have shared insight into the difficulty of their studies. They havealso shared the reason they chose to become nurses – to provide patients with the care that is uniqueto nursing: brilliant clinical skill, delivered with compassion, kindness, and sensitivity. This is why in2013, we rolled out The DAISY in Training Award. It is designed to remind students, even on theirhardest days in nursing school, why they want to be a nurse.By recognizing nursing students for the above-and-beyond care and compassion they show patientsand their families as they are learning, we celebrate what it truly means to be a nurse. We honor thenurse-patient connection that makes all the difference in the healthcare experience and that makesgreat nurses truly great. They are inspired not only to provide the best clinical care possible but alsoto impact patients and families with human spirit and kindness, two tremendous assets to the art ofnursing and healing.… and for Nursing FacultyDespite the many pressures on nursing faculty, they have a FaTchueltDyAAIwSYard®profound impact on the future practice of their students.Many nurses talk about “hearing an instructor’s voice” in IN MEMORY OF J. PATRICK BARNEStheir ears, even years after they have graduated. However,these dedicated faculty often do not receive appropriaterecognition for their effect on students, patient care, and theprofessionalism of nursing.Therefore, the purpose of The DAISY Faculty Award is to provide a national recognition programto demonstrate appreciation to faculty for their commitment and inspirational influence on theirstudents.Honorees are nominated by their students, peers, school administrators,alumni, and clinical staff in the hospitals where faculty have students. Theprogram is growing its presence in nursing schools throughout the U.S andis contributing to a positive work environment for faculty.For more information on both of these academic DAISY recognitionprograms, please visit DAISYfoundation.org.

By integrating DAISY into its comprehensive, competency-based framework,Versant helps ensure that their residents learn the importance and impact of meaningful recognition earlyon, enhancing their focus on the well-being of the nurse and reinforcing the fact that compassionate care,in addition to great clinical skill, is a critical component of nursing excellence. Patient flow plays an important role in delivering excellent care, and the nurses who focus on getting patients in the right bed at the right time deserve recognition. That’s why we are thrilled to partner withTeleTracking Technologies to recognize nurses who often work behind the scenes. The DAISY Award forExtraordinary Nurses in Patient Flow, sponsored by TeleTracking Techologies, will provide well-deservedrecognition to those nurses who coordinate care so that the experience for both the patient and familiesappears seamless.“Like Us” @DAISY Foundation #@DAISY4Nurses, tag your photos DAISYAward
