5. Introducing The DAISY Faculty Award In recognition of the facts that Nursing faculty has a profound impact on the future practice patterns of their students Too often, these dedicated teachers do not receive the recognition they deserve Feeling under-appreciated may contribute to difficulty in retaining faculty The DAISY Faculty Award is designed to provide to colleges/schools of nursing a national recognition program To demonstrate appreciation to teachers for their commitment to the profession and inspirational influence on their students

6. How Does the DAISY Faculty Award Work? Flexible so each school can tailor to fit your needs and culture Turn-key implementation

13. Why Participate? Nursing literature demonstrates that recognition is a key element in nurse retention. We suspect this is equally important for nursing faculty retention This is a unique program, celebrating the impact that nursing faculty have on their students and, therefore, future patient care It is another reflection of your supportive work environment and dedication to employee satisfaction It provides a team-building opportunity for staff who share in the implementation of the program It is one more way of promoting the best of nursing faculty The DAISY Foundation’s appeal is national & by many esteemed organizations, including AONE and Magnet/Pathways to Excellence
