DAISY Award for Extraordinary MSUM Nursing Faculty

The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Faculty was created to demonstrate appreciation to faculty for their commitment and inspirational influence on their nursing students.

The DAISY Foundation, as part of its service to the nursing profession’s role in patient care, established The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Faculty. The purpose of this program is to provide to colleges/schools of nursing a national recognition program they may use to demonstrate appreciation to faculty for their commitment and inspirational influence on their nursing students.

The DAISY Foundation hopes that, in some way, this program will contribute to a positive work environment for faculty in schools.

The MSUM DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nursing Faculty of the Year Award was created to demonstrate appreciation to faculty for their commitment and inspirational influence on their nursing students. Suggested criteria:

  • Serves as a role model and mentor for professional nursing.

  • Is fair and unbiased in his/her treatment of individual students.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills.
