Round Lake Beach, Illinois May 14, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Daisy Andrada Narciso has spent the last 30 years building a distinguished nursing career defined by compassion, clinical excellence, and an unwavering dedication to patient-centered care. Currently serving as the Wound Care Coordinator at Encompass Health in Round Lake, Daisy oversees all wound care admissions and discharges, ensuring patients receive comprehensive treatment plans that promote healing, independence, and a smoother transition home.
With extensive experience across multiple healthcare specialties, Daisy has developed a reputation for combining technical expertise with genuine empathy. Her primary focus is helping patients heal before discharge, minimizing the need for complex wound management once they leave the facility. Through careful coordination and individualized care plans, she strives to improve patient outcomes while restoring confidence and quality of life.
Over the course of her career, Daisy has worked in a variety of clinical environments, gaining valuable experience in operating room nursing, respiratory care, rehabilitation nursing, infection control, and healthcare leadership. Early in her career, she assisted surgeons in the operating room while caring for patients both before and after surgery, helping ensure safe and efficient procedures. She also specialized in respiratory nursing, working closely with tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent patients requiring highly skilled and attentive care.
Beyond bedside nursing, Daisy has held leadership positions as a Director of Nursing and healthcare consultant, where she managed wound care programs and contributed to risk management initiatives designed to improve patient safety and healthcare quality. Her work as an infection control coordinator further strengthened her understanding of prevention strategies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and regulatory compliance.
Originally from the Philippines, Daisy earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Saint Louis University in 1992. She relocated to the United States in 1994 and obtained her RN license the following year, beginning a lifelong mission of serving patients with dignity and compassion.
A deeply personal experience further shaped Daisy’s philosophy of care. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, she faced her own battle with cancer, gaining firsthand insight into the emotional and physical challenges patients endure throughout treatment. That experience strengthened her commitment to empathy-driven nursing and reinforced the importance of treating every patient with kindness, respect, and understanding.
“What I enjoy most is seeing patients improve and helping them regain independence,” Daisy shared. “My goal is that by the time they go home, they feel capable of caring for themselves. The trust my patients place in me and the satisfaction of knowing I’ve made a difference in their lives is incredibly rewarding.”
Committed to continued growth and advancing the field of wound care, Daisy is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification with a wound care specialty through Walden University. She also remains actively involved with the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, serving on its conference planning committee and contributing to the advancement of rehabilitation nursing education and practice.
Through her decades of experience, resilient spirit, and patient-first approach, Daisy Andrada Narciso continues to make a lasting impact on the nursing profession and the lives of the patients and families she serves.
