THE JH Cerilles State College (JHCSC)-Pagadian City Campus recently held its 3rd Cap and Badge Investiture and Candle Lighting Ceremony for senior nursing students.
Governor Aurora Cerilles was guest of honor and speaker during the ceremonies held at Hotel Alindahaw, July 13.
About 112 senior nursing students were invested with their caps and badges which symbolize the authority bestowed upon them as they officially undertake their duties in affiliated hospitals.
In Zamboanga del Sur, successful nurses train and work in the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center.
For a nurse, the capping, badging and candle lighting ceremony is the handling down of symbols of the nursing profession and is also the strengthening of the commitment to serve with honor and dignity and to continually learn and practice to eventually excel.
The nursing cap and badges are used to signify the nurse’s vocation and wearing them is considered a privilege.
Cerilles, in her speech, observed that the capping event was the most solemn from among the capping and badging ceremonies she attended in the past.
The governor then encouraged the student nurses to pursue their dreams and aim to become professionally registered nurses.
Cerilles likewise mentioned to the nurses to emulate the brave spirit of Florence Nightingale, as they light the lamp and recite the pledge.
Several personalities attended the capping and badging ceremony, among them lawyer Domingo Redelosa IV, dean of the schools’ College of Law, who is also the campus administrator and Dr. Wendell Glenn Cagape, college/board secretary and Campus academic head, Dr. Carlicita Saniel, president.
Chief Nurse Helen Arao of the Zamboanga del Sur Medical Center, Dr. Gloria Florendo, dean of the College of Nursing of the Western Mindanao State University and Prof. Evely Rendon, Consortium Coordinator of WMSU were also present.
Aside from Nursing, JHCSC-Pagadian City Campus offers course in Law, Nursing, Hotel, Restaurant and Resort Management, and Information Technology. Graduate programs in Education and Public Administration are also available.
