My youngest brother is taking up Nursing course in Emilio Aguinaldo College knowns as EAC. It was his second year and last March he needed to pass the battery exam (i thought it is obligatory in all nursing schools ) but it actually depends on the schools. It is an aptitude test wherein they need to pass the school standard. And if the students fail the exam they will not be accepted anymore.I've come to learn from my sister that my Brother had passed the battery exam. Actually, she was telling me that she was a bit afraid for him. Knowing our brother who is a nonchalant type of person and that he takes everything easy like peanuts. I mean he is very confident with himself, he knows what he wants in life and very determined whatever challenges he is into. I really appreciate his positive attitude in every step he makes. I admire him a lot for that. The last two months he was into summer school and it was his recompensation for passing the battery exam and not a punishment for not having a summer vacation on the contrary !
Last Tuesday I was chatting with my sister and she told me that Froilan again passed another test (second one) and that he will be doing the Capping on June 3 ( Nao can you elaborate on this. I need a translator please! lol ). My sister told me that we can call him now a real or genuine NURSING STUDENT !
All my congratulations to you younger brother ! I am proud and glad!

Hey, Bonne Fête des Mamans!!!
Happy Mother's Day!
I remember those good o'l days.
Capping and Pinning Ceremony is a traditional presentation before a nursing student could officially go to their clinical settings (community center & hospital practices). The ceremony alone talks about the symbolic passing of knowledge thru wearing their caps & pins and passing of the lighted candles to commemorate miss FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, the pioneer of nursing who was a legend in her lifetime. Kudos to your brother! (woooah woooah!!!!)
i also heard that the tuition fees for nursing students are excessively high.. kasi 'IN' sya ngayon.. onli in da pilipins... where education means business..!!! kakagigil!
