OADN collaborates with The DAISY Foundation to raise awareness for meaningful recognition of nurse educators for their inspirational influence on the Nurses of today and tomorrow- across the continuum in academic and practice settings. Exceptional nurse educators in community colleges must be recognized for their expertise in all areas of the academic spectrum including role modeling compassionate, extraordinary care, whether to patients and families or to their own students. OADN invites every community college leader to consider The DAISY Award program to meaningfully recognize outstanding nurse educators. OADN is honored to partner with the DAISY Foundation and believes raising the visibility of nurse educators and highlighting their excellence will aid in their recruitment, retention, and engagement in the education specialties.
