Nurses: Center for Nursing Excellence

Recognition Matters

Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system and UAMS takes great pride in recognizing nursing staff. We have multiple recognition programs within UAMS and the Center of Nursing Excellence not only supports local, state and regional recognition programs, but also, nominations of UAMS nursing staff for the following UAMS nursing recognition programs:

DAISY, BEE and Outstanding Area of the Month

Monthly we recognize a DAISY, BEE and the Outstanding Area of the Month. DAISY and BEE are nominated, but the Outstanding Area of the Month is awarded by quality metrics.

DAISY Nurse Leader

We award two DAISY Nurse Leaders a year. We take nominations from co-workers describing the impact the nominee has on staff and patient care.
