UnitedHealthcare and The DAISY Foundation presented The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare in Memphis, Tenn. This unique recognition program is part of many hospitals' recruitment and retention programs, helping to offset the acute shortage of nurses nationwide. Each month, nurses are selected by their nursing administration and peers to receive The DAISY Award. The honorees receive a certificate commending her/him for being an "Extraordinary Nurse." The certificate reads: "In deep appreciation of all you do, who you are, and the incredibly meaningful difference you make in the lives of so many people."
