One year ago on Valentines Day , I was single , jobless , penniless and a nobody .
To our exalted and most gorgeous director. Dr. Leonita P. Gorgolon . Assistant Regional Director , Dr. Cesar Cassion. Honored guest at the presidential table , Father of RNheals-Caraga Jerimias Dapar . Provincial health team leaders , DOH reps colleges good morning .
What your mind conceives becomes your reality . It has been a year since we all started this auspicious journey and so far we have leveled-up in every aspect of our character . Though I say it was never easy . It was tough ! For reality is unfair isn't it not ? But reality is yours alone and if you dream enough , reality becomes unfair in your favor .
Dreams are not enough . In order to achieve success one must pair it with actions . That is the most basic of formulas. The experience introduced me to many firsts . It also provided me with many memories that i will treasure . Though I must agree that not all memories are good , nonetheless they are crucial to learning and growing .
My experience taught me that a nurse should be constantly beautiful inside and out . The world was made beautiful by our Creator , hence it should deserve good looking nurses . A therapeutic care should begin with a therapeutic face . It should be an endeavor for a nurse to be aesthetically pleasing to his clients . It is vital in gaining trust and rapport.
Another , I learn to live an adventure . Each day holds the promise of a brand new story . Like Dora the Explorer we are going places . To get to the area we have to "cross the river , climb the mountain and trek the forest" RIVER ! MOUNTAIN ! FOREST ! A one year vacation all this while being paid 8k a month . This makes nursing more fun in the Philippines .
Here our knowledge is further expanded . Can you imagine diseases like na-pasmo , na gabaan , gi barang , nawakwakan , gi kulam panuhot and many more . Have you encountered this nursing diagnosis ? "Acute abdominal pain related to nunu sa punso? The books never mentioned them yet we understand how the patient feels .Because RNHEALS provided us with the opportunity to learn from the best of teachers , they are called experience and real life . I also learned to appreciate mistakes , because in committing mistakes we become smarted . Our usefulness is not based on the number of books we read or the number of training we have undergone but on how much we learn from experience and how much of that knowledge we used to help others.
During the past year I really appreciate being a nurse. It made me practice my skill to the people who needed it most . To welcome a child to this world , to alleviate pain , to give care , compassion and love , and if all else fail provide comfort to the dying . It also made me a vital member of the local community and an icon of living a healthy life.
I am grateful for the modest income . At least for some of us having our own income bought a bit of relief from our parents . It gave me the liberty to plan , and to save my resources . In a way we are now more responsible for our own financial future . Because of RNHEALS I was able to buy assets which gave me that satisfying feeling of claiming a property as my own .
I also learned that in order to achieve your dreams , a person must NOT work hard . Rather he should work SMART . A hard working person is not efficient , he lacks planning and efficiency that is why he is working hard in the first place . A smart working person will get the same job done yet still have time and energy outside of work .
Perhaps the most precious contribution RNHEALS gave me is that it made my voice be heard , I became a catalyst for change . Affecting many lives and making them better . That itself is enough of a reward.
Allow me to read a line from Jan Hilado's upcoming book , a message before we go our separate ways .
"I personally don't believe in Destiny or Fate , that our life has already been written on paper , because God made us with a magnificent brain with the power to choose and decide for our own life .
But i do believe that we all have a PURPOSE to fulfill our God's Promise to us to be Great to be Successful , to grow and evolve as human beings, to more Loving , Kind and Compassionate and become more like Him , to be significant to others , to Live , Love, and Laugh , and to leave this world BETTER...than we found it . <3
Here I am now standing in front of you , one year later . Still single , soon to be jobless , with 500 pesos on my bank account , BUT now I can say , "I am somebody " I AM RNHEALS .
Good day to you all .
