Yesterday and today the newly passed RN's had their oath taking ceremony at SMX Convention Center at MOA. I'm just having flashbacks about it because its been a year since i took mine. The atmosphere was gloomy then because of a typhoon. I don't want to remember its name because it upsets me a lot.Grrr! Imagine I'm all dress-up with my white gala uniform and a white high-heeled shoes and the rain is pouring really hard??? Hahaha..So how's that? :)
Looking back, I'm with my mom that day(as usual) because my dad,AGAIN, can't come. Since I started my life as a nurse, he wasn't able to witness the progress I've been through. From my Capping Ceremony down to my Oath Taking. He even didn't saw me wear my duty uniform! :) When you try to look at my pictures during those ceremonies, you will only see me and my mom or sometimes with my brother. Papa missed those happenings which are very important to me.Gosh I'm getting emotional already!!! :) But even though he is physically not there, he always gives me the support I need. Yeah of course financially but more importantly on the emotional side. He does not fail to always explain everything to us and that's the thing I really admire about him. Of course, I don't have to feel very sorry about his absence because as what I've said my mom is always there beside me. I guess I'm going to write soon about my gratis to them! :)
Anyways, going back, having that ceremony was one of the biggest highlights of my life. As what Mr. Marco Antonio Sto. Thomas, one of the members of the Board of Nursing, said then, It is our "Sacrament of Matrimony" as a nurse. "There is no turning back!", he said. He also said that our Capping ceremony is our "baptism" in nursing, Pinning ceremony is our "confirmation" and lastly oath taking is the "marriage".Yeah I'm listening to him eventhough I was busy taking pictures of my colleagues. :) All was very dress up gorgeously that day, particularly the members of BON, of course, who made our lives a living hell for two days! hahaha :) Everybody was very proud of themselves. You're considered a survivor that day. Also to mention the proud parents. The oath itself only took a few minutes but it was a life-changing moment, confirming of our title REGISTERED NURSE!
To all my new colleagues, Congratulations and welcome to the world of UNEMPLOYED, I mean REGISTERED NURSES! hahaha :)
