After the motorcade, the Board of Trustees, Vice Presidents, College President, faculty and staff, guests, students, and new Registered Nurses gathered for the afternoon activity. Before the program officially continued, everyone shared a meal together.

The meal started with a 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙙 led by 𝘼𝙡𝙮𝙯𝙖 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙮 𝙂. 𝙐𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙢, a 2nd Year student. This was followed by the 𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧 led by 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙧. 𝘾𝙚𝙨𝙖𝙧 𝙏. 𝙍𝙚𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝙅𝙧., 𝙋𝙝𝘿, Dean of the Aldersgate Divinity School.

One of the highlights of the program was the 𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙨 from the newly Registered Nurses. Each passer shared a different story of challenges, sacrifices, and people who helped them reach the finish line.

𝘼𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙎. 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙨, 𝙍𝙉, emphasized the importance of trusting oneself and trusting God. She also reminded students not to make the mindset of waiting until the board exam is near before seriously reviewing. For her, preparation should start early and should be taken seriously. She also shared that her father, who tirelessly works for their family, became one of her biggest inspirations.

𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙚 𝙂. 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙤, 𝙍𝙉, who was a retaker, shared the reminder, “𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴.” She held on to the hope and support given by her parents, friends, and Clinical Instructors, which helped her find the courage to take the exam again.

Before becoming a nurse, Tanya was an Accountancy student but had to stop during her third year after becoming a mother at an early age. She shared her simple but meaningful achievement: she may not have become an accountant, but she is now a Registered Nurse. As the youngest among her siblings, she also experienced pressure because she was the last one who had not yet graduated. Her story showed that life may take a different path, but dreams can still be reached.

𝘿𝙝𝙚𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙅𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙑. 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙯, 𝙍𝙉, the 𝙏𝙤𝙥 𝟴 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙋𝙉𝙇𝙀 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧, encouraged the students to “𝘼𝙞𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧.” He encouraged future board takers to aim for the highest goal, saying that if Top 1 is not reached, there are still other places to aim for. His own journey eventually led him to the Top 8.

He also shared his way of assessing himself by looking at his strengths and weaknesses. Rather than focusing only on his strengths, he gave more attention to his weaknesses so he could continue improving.

Their stories reminded the students that success does not always come from an easy journey. Behind every name on the list of passers are sacrifices, prayers, failures, support, and people who believed in them.

The celebration continued with the President’s Message of Congratulations and Appreciation from 𝙍𝙚𝙫. 𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙤 𝘽. 𝘾𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙅𝙧., 𝙋𝙝𝘿, College President.

The program ended with the singing of the 𝘼𝘾 𝙃𝙮𝙢𝙣, led by 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙯𝙯𝙖 𝘼𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙚𝙡 𝙅𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙧, a 4th Year student.

𝑴𝒚𝒓𝒆𝒍 𝑩𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒏 and 𝑩𝒐𝒚𝒛𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐, second-year students, showcased their talent in singing, followed by the rest of the first-year students' presentation. Dance performances from the second-, third-, and fourth-year students also brought energy and excitement to the gathering.

A highlight of the event was the inspirational message delivered by the guest speaker, 𝑴𝒂’𝒂𝒎 𝑹𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒂 𝑷𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂, former Governor of the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, who was introduced by SMS SSC Governor, 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒓 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏. Drawing from her nursing journey, Ma’am Ruth encouraged the students to remain committed to the values and purpose of the nursing profession. She also shared the message, “𝑶𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒂 𝒏𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆, 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒃𝒆 𝒂 𝒏𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒇𝒕, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒏𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖,” reminding future nurses that nursing extends beyond a professional title and remains a lifelong commitment to caring and service.

The event also provided an opportunity for students from the first to fourth year levels to be formally introduced to one another. This was followed by the introduction and oath-taking of the newly elected officers of the different SMS organizations, namely the 𝐒𝐌𝐒-𝐒𝐒𝐂, 𝐏𝐍𝐒𝐀, 𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐓, 𝐒𝐕𝐒𝐀, and 𝐒𝐌𝐒 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦, led by Ma’am Ruth Padilla.

The celebration continued with a meal, photo opportunities with faculty advisers and clinical instructors, the presentation of a token of appreciation to the distinguished guest, and the awarding of certificates of appreciation to the newly elected organization officers. A flash mob dedicated to the clinical instructors and advisers was also presented by the students.

Students who stood out during the event were recognized through the much-anticipated Awarding of Sashes, which highlighted their attire, appearance, confidence, and overall presence throughout the celebration.

𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐏𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐬, 𝐑𝐍, SMS SAS Adviser, formally concluded the program by expressing her gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of the event. The Exit of Colors then marked the formal closing of the program, followed by a flash mob dance party where students and faculty members joined together in celebration.

More than an acquaintance activity, the event served as an opportunity for the SMS community to strengthen relationships, welcome new faces, recognize student leadership, and celebrate the shared identity of future nurses. Through meaningful interactions and shared experiences, the SMS Acquaintance highlighted the importance of respect, unity, friendship, and service within the School of Medical Sciences community.
