MEANINGFUL RECOGNITION FOR NURSES WHO STAND UP FOR ETHICS IN PRACTICE AND LEADERSHIP
NNEC is pleased to announce that Two Awards – one for a clinician and one for a nurse leader – will be presented during the National Nursing Ethics Conference in Los Angeles, CA, on April 5, 2024. There are two opportunities to recognize your nurses whose leadership, compassion and clinical practice demonstrate the importance of human values and ethics in nursing:
Updated criteria for National Ethics Award! After launching the 2024 ANA DAISY Awards for Nursing Ethics in Practice and Leadership, we received feedback from many Chief Nursing Officers that this is a much-needed recognition, and our criteria was preventing deserving nurses from being nominated. In response, nominations for this Award are now open to ANY nurse, not just DAISY Honorees.
The ANA DAISY® Awards for Ethics in Nursing Practice and Leadership, developed in collaboration with the American Nurses Association’s Center for Ethics and Human Rights, recognizes nurse leaders and clinical nurses whose leadership, compassion and clinical practice demonstrate the importance of human values and ethics in nursing.
On behalf of The DAISY Foundation and the American Nurses Association’s Center for Ethics
and Human Rights, we invite your organization to submit nominations for The ANA DAISY® Awards for Ethics in Nursing Practice and Leadership.
