My life as a student nurse is a rollercoaster ride. Tears had been shed, laughs have been shared, and coffees had been spilled. But what makes this journey more fulfilling is the purpose of helping almost everybody. In my four years at WVSU, I have learned a lot of the basic and the complicated procedures. Caring for others’ well-being might be stressful but the gratitude I receive at the end of the day makes me forget about the day’s work. There’s so much more to it than just nursing.

This photo was taken on the 4th floor at West Visayas State University Medical Center. It’s where we practice and enhance our skills and where we meet a lot of sick people to nurse. This have been our 1st rotation for our last semester in college and it was a bittersweet experience while counting the days until graduation. I’m sure I’m gonna miss these people who were by my side since we started our 4th year.

Everything was tough for us. We were on the verge of breaking down to pieces every time we encounter a lot of challenges. But look where we are now. We are on our road to success. Just a few more months and we will finally receive our diplomas and walk the stage proud. I don’t want to think about it now and I know it is inevitable but as much as I want to graduate, I still can’t take it knowing that we will leave each other and go on our own separate lives.
