| Medical University of South Carolina participates in a nursing recognition program called The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. Nominations can be submitted by anyone - patients, visitors, as well as physicians, nurses and all MUSC staff and volunteers. Nominations received will be considered for the next DAISY Award selection.
The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses recognizes the very special work nurses do every day. It was established by the DAISY Foundation – an organization for the elimination of diseases attacking the immune system – in memory of J. Patrick Barnes. Barnes’ parents established the foundation in their son’s memory because they had experienced firsthand the skills and compassionate care of many nurses. The award is given to outstanding nurses in more than 1700 hospitals in 13 countries. The DAISY Foundation asked if they could bring this national award program to our hospital. |
