Although nurses have worked tirelessly with great courage, dedication, and professionalism, putting their own health at risk to save lives and ensure continuity of care during COVID 19, they were only rewarded with long working hours and obliged to sacrifice holidays and leaves to compensate for staffing shortages. This all resulted in significant physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Leaders in Children’s Speciality Hospital identified the need to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of nurses, so they introduced the DAISY Award. The DAISY Award is a powerful tool to provide meaningful recognition for supporting nurses’ satisfaction and is an integral component of a healthy work environment. It serves as a reminder that the work the nurse does makes a difference.
This paper discusses the journey of DAISY award in Children specialty hospital and provides evidence of value-added to improve the health of staff wellbeing and the work environment.
