A glimpse of our pre-clinical days marked a great beginning. Fancied by the immaculate white uniform, we dreamily yearn to join the Nightingale clan. "Someday we'll be a nurse", we moaned. Graduation seems a response to its end. Yes, the time of goodbye has become inevitable. There is no more turning back. And today we are face with an ultimate dilemma: how to leave with a lighter heart? You see, time has caught us unaware finding ourselves about to leave.

Still remember June 6, 1986 when we first all met during our orientation? We were 254 then, all determined to face our challenges. A preconceived idea of having "terror" clinical instructors had provoked psychosomatic disorders on our start. We had several sleepless nights but our upper class men had their way of comforting us. With the initiation rites and Welcome Party - We were afforded relief from our "congested hearts".

Most of us found our subjects hard of the first few months. Quizzes, long exams and recitations were a routine. Until finally October came. Caps and pins gave heavier responsibilities for us. More challenges came. And those who were not serious enough were awakened by the "jolts" and "bangs" of deliberation.

Came Junior year, known to be the happiest yet the most crucial and critical one. With our academic subjects and a bunch of readings, case studies and other assignments - these were quite "heavy". We had to discipline ourselves and utilize our time and effort in the most effective way to be emotionally mature and to face diversities squarely. Those who were not able to make use of their defenses effectively survived despite all these "brain-wrecking" and "heart-breaking experience.
