History: The DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators was established in 2021 in collaboration with the Wisconsin League for Nursing (WLN) and The DAISY Foundation™.
In 2022, the Arizona and New Jersey Leagues for
Nursing developed a partnership with WLN and expanded the award to their states and the NJLN presented their first awards in November, 2022. We are looking forward to once again present
this award in 2023.
Purpose: The purpose of the Award is to recognize exceptional nurses in clinical practice or simulation who exhibit, inspire and nurture compassion and
respect amongst peers, mentees, students, or colleagues. These nurses directly influence learning in clinical practice/simulation and play a crucial role in forming
exceptional frontline nurses. In turn, these individuals encourage nurses or nursing students to exhibit acts of compassion and build relationships with patients and families.
Nurses eligible for this Award include those who influence and develop nurses or nursing students at the site of direct or simulated patient care. Eligible nurses include formal
educators by title/role and informal educators not defined by their job description or title.
Some examples of eligible formal nurse educators include, but are not limited to:
- Clinical, lab, or simulation instructors
- Staff development specialists
- Clinical nurse educators.

Some examples of eligible informal nurse educators include, but are not limited to:
- Preceptors for APRN, RN, LPN/LVN, graduate nurses or pre-licensure nursing students,
- Mentors

This Award is for eligible nurses completing work at New Jersey DAISY Partner Institutions.
