"Sometimes things unfold in a way you least expect. People come and go from your life, some mean more to you than others. Some hurt more when they leave. But you know what they say, one door closes two more open. London here I come!" Nurse #2

This week had been very tough for me. This was the week where I struggled about still believing in myself. I thought I was prepared for the week of our midterms but no, I was not. On the first day of exams, I was fine. But on the second, I was very confident about it because I spent a lot of hours studying about but I didn't pass the exam. I was absolutely down at that time. It shamed me so much because I was in a group when we asked about our scores and I got the lowest one. I was devastated. I wanted to cry at that moment but I didn't want them to sympathize about how I feel because I would really look like a loser. I doubted myself right away & asked, "Is nursing really for me?" Then, thoughts about how my aunt pushed to take nursing came again. Was it really for me? Was that part of God's plan for me? What hurt me most is that I failed another exam, another major. Although, I was a little bit fine by it because I got big scores in the daily quizzes and return demonstrations but still, I failed. What did I even to wrong? :"( Yes, I knew that I had moments when I took things for granted and didn't study or every try hard to pass. I guess, this was a lesson learned. I mean who can blame me when my classes would start everyday at 7 A.M. and would end at 7 P.M. during Mondays and Wednesdays. I would always reach home around 8 P.M. with my stomach growling because I had not eaten yet. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu :'( I didn't expect these things to happen to me. Why did the college have to be so cruel on their students? Why, please? :( But nothing would ever happen if I would keep on complaining here. I know God is working His own ways. I'll just have to remember Jeremiah 29:11 which says:

"For I know the plans I have for you," say the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give a hope and a future."

Hi guys! This is me sharing my life as a college student. And if you haven’t heard, I am studying nursing in my dream school. I am so blessed because God has put me there and He has answered my prayer with no haste. 

So, this is how my journey starts:

First photo: Taken during my school’s Foundation Week Opening During my second week in my school, they have celebrated the 112th Founding Anniversary through parades, singing contests, dance showdowns and impersonations with the students as contingents. 

Second photo: CN Team Building My college wants to have a tight relationship with every student because we have the lowest number of students. In order for that to happen, they have planned a team building as a part of our school’s foundation celebration. We were grouped according to the famous theorists we were assigned to through the symbols we got under our seats.

Third photo: Acquaintance Party: “An Adrenaline Rush to Amity” Each year levels were assigned to present something, somewhat a showcase of our talents, since they told us that that was our night to shine. They also wanted to know what are our talents for them to know who would be the possible candidates for certain contests.

Fourth photo: Just something to remember I guess that was taken after the honoring ceremony for the board passers. Our school’s pride has always been that for 5 years(I think), they have maintained the 100% passing rate for the NLE making it one of the top performing school in the Philippines.

Fifth photo: Nursing Week Opening  Since we were first years and we know nothing about injection administration and anything that requires medical knowledge, we were assigned to attend the opening parade for the celebration. There, we had Zumba under the rain. Hahaha! Then, they give us bibingka and water. 

Sixth photo: Frozen  The photo above was taken in Frozen Snack Bar in Unit 41 Century Plaza Complex, J. Osmena St., Cebu City. I really love their ice cream cake which was baked by my classmate’s mother because they co-owned the snack bar. And if you had been living in Cebu or planning to go here in Cebu, you should try it. Good evening! :D Hope you had a nice day! God bless you guys ;)

Hi Ash :) I'm too a nursing student from Colombia. Hope you be ok every day and be in love each day more with this profession. So beautiful blog!! Write me when you want. Daniella, 18 years old.

Hi Daniella, 

Thank you for your message. I am definitely still growing more & more to loving Nursing. It’s frustrating sometimes. There are moments in class or in the middle of studying that I’m so burnt out. I’ve been pursuing Nursing so far almost 7 years. I feel like I would not have stuck it out this far if I was not meant for this career. Thank for the add to my blog. I really just needed a place to release my stress about Nursing school & find other ways to connect with others in Nursing besides my own class mates. You’re a Nursing student in Colombia?! WOW!! Tell me more! I’d love to hear about some of your experiences as Nursing Student in a different part of the world. I’m actually thinking about doing this Healthcare internship for Nursing where I get to travel to Argentina for two weeks & participate in their healthcare system with patients. I really want to get more outside world perspectives of Nursing. That would be the chance of a life time. Hope to hear from you more.
