August 30, 2008Queen Margarette Hotel

To all the guests from the Board of Nursing, Hon. Amelia Rosales, from the Professional RegulationCommission Lucena, visitors, friends, parents, guardians, school administrators, fellow RNs a pleasantmorning!

Another batch of Filipino nurses are registered in the Professional Regulation Commission. That is no otherthan, our batch June 2008 RNs. Congratulations to all of us.

It is indeed a special privilege for us since we all have succeeded to pass a practically difficult examination.However, this is just the beginning of another chapter in our personal and professional growth. We are now RNsand like all the other batches of professional nurses, we are all faced with the challenge of practicing the nobleprofession based on the eleven competencies, with which the Nurse Licensure Examinations framework camefrom. Let us not forget these. Let us all be moved to live by it, and bring hope to our current health care situation

by actually doing it.

Isang hamon sa ating lahat na gawin sa abot ng ating makakaya ang responsibilidad ng pagiging isang nurse.

Lagi nating tandaan at isabuhay ang labing-isang competencies sa araw-araw na paggawa. Magtulungan tayoupang isakatuparan ito. Huwag nating hayaang manatili na lamang sa ating mga labi ang mabuting salitang ito magtulungan tayo.

Thus let this response be a call for us to be globally competitive nurses by practicing first here in our owncountry. Let us take up the challenge of being efficient and effective nurses equipped with knowledge, skills andattitude who are eyeing for the holistic care of our patients and not just for the currency or amount for which we

work.

Let our primary motivation be for the best cause of the patients or clients who will be placed under our care.Blessings of prosperity or riches both material and spiritual in nature will come in as effects, as fruits of ourlabor and of our good intentions.

Let not our spirits be dampened by the harsh realities of the outside world. We are yesterdays hope for thefuture. Today, we are the bearers of hope.

Dati, tayo ang tinaguriang pag-asa ng kinabukasan. Ang kinabukasan noon ay ang ngayon. At ngayon, tayo angmagdadala ng pag-asang iyon sa katotohanan, sa kaganapan.

As nurses, we are capable of change as we are catalysts ourselves. As nurses, we are advocates of our patients, ofthe general public, of the Filipinos, of the world.

Let us all be good persons first driven with great love for God/Allah/Lord/Our Savior, our selves and ourneighbors our very own families, communities, our nation the Philippines and of humanity as we break the

barriers of race, creed and religion.

Let us uplift each others lives and not just our own.

Itaguyod natin ang isat isa.

Yes, we are just starting but let us not forget our roots where we originated roots of Self, roots of Nursing,roots of Life.

Sa puntong ito, pasalamatan natin ang ating mga magulang at magulangin na patuloy na sumusuporta sa atin.Pasalamatan natin ang mga taong tumulong at di tumulong sa atin. May bahagi sila sa ating tagumpay.Pasalamatan natin ang Diyos na lumalang sa atin sa pamamagitan ng ating mga magulang. Pasalamatan natinang ating mga sarili dahil nakamit natin ang ating layuning maging RN. Pasalamatan natin ang ating paraalan,ang ating mga guro, CIs na humubog sa atin. Pasalamatan natin ang PRC sa pagbabantay sa atin habang tayoynag-eeksamen, na ngayoy gumagabay sa ating pag-rehistro. Sa mga BON members, sa kanilang pagtanggap sahamon ng pagpapabuti ng Nursing, salamat po.

Allow me to end the response by a simple message: Whatever it is that we aim for, remember that we are veryblessed despite difficulties and hardships. We are connected. Let Nursing, through us, in the person of nurses,be the bridge of progress.

Magsilbi nawa tayong tulay sa kaunlaran, una muna ng ating sarili, ng ating pamilya, kapitbahay, barangay,lunsod, lalawigan, ng ating bansang Pilipinas at ng mundo. Sa pamamagitan ng ating pagkalinga at pag-aaruga,maging instrumento tayo ng kagalingan ng sakit pangkatawan, pangkaluluwa at panlipunan.

Congratulations once again. God bless us in our journey as nurses.
