The DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!! APPLY HERE
Nominations Deadline: Sunday, September 10, 2023!
We are excited to inform you nominations are open for the 2023 DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators in Arizona! This Award was created in 2021 in collaboration with the Wisconsin League for Nursing (WLN) and The DAISY FoundationTM and expanded collaboration since to include the Arizona, New Jersey, and Ohio Leagues for Nursing. The purpose of the Award is to recognize exceptional nurses in clinical practice or simulation working in academic and healthcare settings 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 the formation of 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 those who are 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, and
- Clinical or 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,
- Nurse colleagues,
- Charge nurses,
- Resource nurses, and
- Clinical leaders.
