Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing Congratulates Daisy Award Winner for Extraordinary Nurses Recipient: Andrew Signore

Celebrating nurses who provide extraordinary compassionate and skillful care every day…is the goal of The DAISY Foundation, in honoring exceptional nurses. Founded in 1999, by the family of J. Patrick Barnes, the DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) award was created to express their thanks to the nurses who cared for him during the last weeks of his life https://daisyfoundation.org/daisy-award.

Today, nurses continue to be honored for the quality and compassionate care they provide.  Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) is proud to celebrate with one of our graduates, Andrew Signore, who attended the Fort Lauderdale campus and completed the nursing program in Fall of 2016, obtaining his BSN.   He received the Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses, from Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, Idaho.  In his own words, he expressed his appreciation to his parents, professors, mentors, friends, and peers.

“I received the Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses today 3/28/2019. I wanted to contact each of you personally and share what you all have helped me create. Last year I cared for hundreds of people, passed over 5,000 medications, and have changed the lives of many patients and their family members. I received one patient care letter, two World Class Care Awards, and fifteen Daisy Award nominations on the Medical/Surgical Floor at Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello, Idaho. Please be proud of “you”! Without each of you, I wouldn’t be able to share my positivity, compassion, love, and uplifting support with the people I interact with. Words cannot describe my feelings today. Please continue to share your support and knowledge with others…It matters”.
