Bayhealth’s Tina Raab Honored with DAISY Educator Award for Boosting Team Skills

Bayhealth recognized Tina Raab, MSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM, C-ONQS, NPD-BC, with a 2025 DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurse Educator. This award from the DAISY Foundation honors nurse educators who make a positive impact on advancing patient care through teaching, guiding and supporting team members.

Raab is a nurse educator in the Bayhealth Hospital Sussex Campus Center for Women and Infants and has been a Bayhealth team member for more than two years.

Raab was nominated for her outstanding leadership and dedication in supporting staff through professional growth and helping train the next generation of nurses. “Known for her integrity, Tina consistently follows through on her commitments, including dedicating a full year to enhancing the surgical skills of labor and delivery nurses as part of opening an obstetrics (OB) operating room (OR) suite at the Sussex Campus,” says her nominator.

A powerful example of Raab’s impact came after the first OB surgical nursing cohort completed training. During a nightshift obstetric emergency, a trained nurse was able to open the OR and prepare for a C-section without waiting for the on-call team. Thanks to this training, the baby was delivered within 16 minutes, saving both mother and child — demonstrating the life-saving results of Raab’s education efforts.

The DAISY Award is given by the DAISY Foundation, which was formed in 2000 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes. DAISY Award honorees are chosen by nurses, administrators, peers, physicians, volunteers, patients and families.
