Can I nominate a nursing faculty member who does not teach in direct patient care or simulation of direct patient care?
Yes, this person is eligible for the Award.
Can I nominate an APRN or graduate program preceptor for this Award?
Absolutely! So long as the work the preceptor is being recognized for is being completed at a Wisconsin DAISY Partner Institution and they meet the Award eligibility criteria.
I want to nominate a nursing clinical instructor but the school of nursing they work for is not a Wisconsin DAISY Partner Institution. Can I still nominate them?

What if I want to nominate someone who is not affiliated with a Wisconsin DAISY Partner Institution?
If the potential nominee is not employed by or the work he or she is being recognized for is not at a Wisconsin DAISY Partner Institution, he or she is not eligible for this Award. However, the DAISY Foundation is always excited to welcome new partners!
