Stephy’s Journal

As a nursing student, our school requires us to have a grand case presentation done during the last week of the semester in 3rd year college. We were assigned to the different areas to have to get a clinical case to be presented to the jurors. This grand case presentation is equivalent to one rotation in a hospital duty.

We learned from our mistakes our first grand case presentation was a tip-off. It was humiliating when the jurors are bombarding us with questions that we can’t answer….. the hell with it… it was over…. we’ve done our best.. hehehe… in the 1st grand case pres that we had….. we even had sleepless nights. … overnights at xtrian lingan’s fabulous house…. we were so unlucky with the gathering of the data for we had only a few day… only days to prepare for it!!!!!

As what i’ve said to hell with it!!!!! It’s over!!!! We’ve learned from mistakes!!!! We bagged the 2nd place.. Our grades was 93%! whoa!!! tThe 1st place got a grade of 93.33%hehehe.. wewere only behind of 0.33%….We haven’t been expecting for it…. we were so lucky…it was nerve-wracking, fabulous experience. At last I had a medal in college!!!! hehehehe…. ang babaw ko pero napaka-sarap ng feeling.. lasang chocolate…. Nasulit ang pag-stay nmin sa skul hanggang sa cantin ng mahigit 12 oras… grabeh umaalis aq ng bhay ng 5 am para mag-duty at umuuwi aq ng mga 8 or 9 pm….. itong pagkapanalo nmin ay dhil sa tiniis na uhaw, gutom( dhil wlang pera pangkain habang nagtatrabaho pero salamat sa ice cream na nilibre ni Lingan !!!hehehe), at maghapong pagstay sa cantin, thank you sa laptop ni Ana… dhil din ito sa solid na groupmates sa health team; sina Xtian, Mae, Tam, Liza, Ana,

Since we got into third year college as nursing students, I haven’t seen my kabarkada together, not until the "Handog" event. We were usually busy with our studies, our schedules were so different with each other. My other friends like Hanan, Homer, Angelika, Ingrid, Aziel, and Mikka were in Team A while Alan, shyne, Ace, Nina, Nino, and I were on Team B because of our surnames. We only had to say hi and hello with everyone whenever we meet at the pathwal or in the HSc. But today, we had actually met each other and we were all complete in the barkada!!!! Though Nino had his duty at NCH, we were so happy on seeing each other. Shyn had to go to her auntie’s house together with his BF. We took pictures, we laughed, and talked about the memories that we spent when we were in 1st and 2nd year. I really want to have this kind of event again in order to have the friendship back again.

At our college juniors pay tribute to the achievements of the senior nursing students. I’m a junior and it’s our time to pay tribute and bid farewell to the fourth year. Our batch Magis preapared a simple treat to the fourth year. It was simple yet very memorable. We laughed so hard when the "Pussycat Dolls" who were the gays of the batch Magis performed and exuded their beauty and appeal. It had brought us fun and so much excitement. Although the fourth year’s going to have their preboard exams today, they stilll spent their time on our little show for them. Talents were unleashed, even hidden ones. Though faults and mishaps were made, I can say that this event was a success.
