Meaningful Recognition for Nurse Managers

Nurse managers have played an instrumental and essential role in the successful delivery of patient care for decades. Often described as the "hardest job in healthcare," the importance of the nurse manager role is never more apparent during a crisis such as a national nursing shortage or a global pandemic. However, the nurse manager role and its contributions have gone unrecognized. The DAISY Nurse Leader Award is one way healthcare leaders can elevate and recognize nurse manager's contributions.
