The Daisy Awards were started to award and recognize outstanding nurses all over the world. The criteria for reception of this award is that one MUST be a nurse. As you may know, in Uganda, instead of identifying and awarding an outstanding nurse (of which there are tens of thousands), The Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union chose to give the award to a person who is not a nurse, and not eligible for the award. By signing this petition you will join hundreds of nurses in Uganda to petition the Daisy Foundation to reallocate this award to a person in the nursing fraternity: surely there is atleast one outstanding nurse you know that deserves it. And while we thank everyone who has fought for nurses , we respectfully assert that this does not give them a right to take what is rightfully ours. Thanks for signing. Please share with atleast 2people.
