“I dedicate this award to my family especially to my grandfather, who inspired me to take up nursing and become a nurse someday. I am ever grateful to the DAISY Foundation, Health Carousel Foundation, and the university for this opportunity. The DAISY pin will always serve as a helpful reminder to practice compassionate nursing”, said Micah Turiano.

There are thousands of healthcare facilities and schools in 30+ countries using the DAISY Award to recognize nurses, nursing leaders and nursing students. Based on the standards established by the DAISY Committee, the story of Rhadrian Raphael Resuello, an incoming senior nursing student, gets the award. "I would like to thank the Daisy Foundation and Health Carousel. I was inspired by the story of the first recipient at our university last year. I hope my story will also inspire all the students here. Always take all the learning, be it in the ward or community, and I hope you bring it to serve the Filipino people as well as our fellow students,” Rhadrian said.

Health Carousel Philippines Inc. (HCPI) in partnership with DAISY Foundation and Health Carousel Foundation presented the FIRST DAISY Award given to a nursing student in Mindanao during the orientation day of the College of Nursing of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan. Dianarah was surprised but was very happy and proud when her name was announced as the DAISY Awardee for year 2023 in Xavier University.
