The DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators Electronic Nomination Form - NJLN

 

 

About The DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators:

The 2023 DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Nursing Clinical Educators, formerly known as The DAISY Nurse Leader Award for Extraordinary Nurse Educators, was established in 2021 in collaboration with the Wisconsin League for Nursing (WLN) and the DAISY Foundation. The WLN expanded collaboration in 2022 to include Arizona and New Jersey Leagues for Nursing and continues to broaden the reach of the award. 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 mentors encourage frontline nurses or nursing students to exhibit acts of compassion and build relationships with patients and their families.

Nurses eligible for this Award include those who influence and develop nurses or nursing students at the sight 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 nurse educators

Some examples of eligible informal nurse educators include, but are not limited to:

  • Preceptors for APRN, RN, LPN/LVN, graduate nurses, or prelicensure nursing students,
  • Mentors,
  • Nursing colleagues,
  • Charge Nurses,
  • Resource nurses, and
  • Clinical Leaders.

This Award is for eligible nurses who are completing work at DAISY Partner Institutions in our state.

Please note that separate submissions are required for each nominee. Groups interested in nominating a colleague are strongly encouraged to collaborate to prepare a single nomination.
