Created by the DAISY Foundation in memory J. Patrick Barnes, who suffered from Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, the DAISY In Training Award is designed to remind students, even on their hardest days in Nursing School, why they want to be nurses. DAISY stands for “diseases attacking the immune system.” By recognizing Nursing Students for the above-and-beyond care and compassion they show patients and their families as they are learning, we celebrate what it truly means to be a nurse.
