Nominate a Nurse at RWJBarnabas Health

Say Thank You to Your Nurse! Nominate Them for The DAISY Award® for Extraordinary Nurses!

DAISY Award logo

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses was established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 of complications from an autoimmune disease. During his illness, the nursing care Patrick received profoundly touched his family. They created this award to honor Patrick’s memory and express gratitude to nurses wherever they practice. The DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award has become an international form of nursing recognition to remind nurses of the unforgettable impact their care has on patients and families.
