Why Do Nurses Say, "I didn't do anything special?"

We are always taken aback by the humility of nurses who receive The DAISY Award because of an extraordinary act of compassion or a relationship they have created with a patient that truly made a difference. So often, these DAISY Honorees respond to their recognition with, "But I didn't do anything special. I was just doing my job." We want to help nurses see in themselves what their patients, families, and colleagues see in them and to help them learn the behaviors that make such a powerful difference. So we co-authored with Mary Koloroutis, MSN, RN, President of Creative Health Care Management, an article entitled, Inspiring Nurses to See the Extraordinary in Their Ordinary. We hope you will enjoy reading it!
