Dallas College has partnered with The DAISY Foundation to recognize
extraordinary nursing students, nurse educators, and health center nurses. We
encourage you to nominate deserving students, nurse educators, and health
center nurses for a DAISY Award.
What is The DAISY Foundation?
DAISY stands for Diseases Attacking the Immune System, and the program was
established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from an
autoimmune disease. Patrick’s family was deeply touched by the care and
compassion shown by the nurses during his illness, and this foundation is a
way to say thank you to nurses. Learn more about The DAISY Foundation by

What is the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Students?
Using the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses as a model, this recognition is
designed to highlight outstanding and compassionate care provided to patients
and families by prelicensure Nursing students. We encourage patients, patient
families, nurse educators and other providers who work with our students to
nominate a student who is worthy of recognition.
What is the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Educator?
The program is designed to provide national recognition of educators to be
all-inclusive, including faculty, clinical educators, simulation educators,
and professional development educators. The DAISY Foundation aims for this
program to foster a positive work environment and to reinforce the vital role
that academic educators have in training the next generation of nurses. We
encourage all alumni and current students of the program to nominate a nurse
educator who made a positive impact during your educational journey.
