ANA DAISY Awards® for Nursing Ethics

Meaningful Recognition for Nurses

Who STAND OUT in Ethics


Two Annual ANA DAISY Awards

Presented during the National Nursing Ethics Conference in Los Angeles, CA

These awards provide an opportunity to recognize your nurses whose leadership, compassion, and clinical practice demonstrate the importance of human values and ethics in nursing. What better way to build our moral community than to recognize and highlight the incredible work of your nurse colleagues?
