𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨.

I remembered hearing her name for the first time. A friend mentioned her briefly, sharing sad news with me. "Emman Atienza is now deceased."

I was not familiar with her, except that she was the daughter of a well-known TV host; yet, I was still bewildered—hundreds of thoughts running through my mind. However, one question lingered; Why?

Later that day, I came to see through Facebook, thousands of heartfelt messages expressing their condolences and their sorrow at the tragic news. Clips of some of their messages made me curious about this bright young lady, on whom people poured their deep dejection upon her passing.

Emmanuelle Hung Atienza, or Emman Atienza, was the youngest daughter of the known TV host Kim Atienza. Though many people see her as someone who grew up in riches and privilege, she was just a child who endured so much at a young age. She was a mental health advocate, wherein she used social media as her platform to reach out to people who are also battling the same darkness that she had endured.

She was bright, bubbly, and outgoing— the type who you'd make friends easily with because she was easy to talk to. And so after watching some of her videos, even reading articles about her, I was amazed and woeful at the same time. She was a bright and brave lady. A light that brought warmth and hope to those who are lost despite being in the same room with them. She was admirable. She was simply being... her.

Her story brought many lessons to ponder. How mental health is real and that many people are struggling with it, may it be whatever social standing they have. How misjudgment— hate, can alter a person's life. Because in today's time, throwing words is easy, commenting on someone is easy, but the impact it gives has an everlasting effect. It is inflicted, rooted, and ingrained.

And in a world where hate is easily casted always choose to be kind. Whoever or whatever they may be, always choose to be compassionate because kindness doesn't cost us much, but it could help someone live a little better—it could save a life.

Should We “Hate” Our Clinical Instructor? Maybe Not.

For many nursing students, clinical rotations are the heart of their education, a place where theory meets reality and the pressure to perform can feel overwhelming. It’s no wonder that some students leave each shift with a mix of admiration, frustration, and sometimes outright resentment toward their clinical instructors. But before we brand them as the enemy, it’s worth asking: should we really hate our clinical instructors?

Clinical instructors are often strict, detail-oriented, and unyielding in their expectations. At first glance, this can feel unfair. Some may even speak harshly, causing students to hesitate in asking questions out of fear of being scolded. Many have felt that sinking feeling in their chest before a duty, even crying silently in fear of what might happen next. Sometimes, just hearing their names is enough to make students whisper a quiet, nervous “good luck” to themselves. That fear can make the clinical experience intimidating, leaving students unsure whether they’re learning or simply trying to avoid mistakes.

𝒀𝒆𝒕, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒕, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓: 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎. Each instructor has a unique teaching style, some patient and guiding, others sharp and challenging, but both can push you to your limits, sometimes unlocking the last bit of brainpower you didn’t know you had. Their different techniques allow students to explore their full potential and adapt to varying situations, preparing them for the unpredictable world of nursing.

Every note checked, every procedure scrutinized, and even every stern word is designed to cultivate competence, confidence, and patient safety. Hating an instructor might seem justified in the moment, but it overlooks the lessons embedded in every critique and the growth hidden within every challenging interaction. Ultimately, nursing is a profession built on collaboration, accountability, and lifelong learning. 𝑽𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓, 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒂𝒔 𝒈𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒔, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔, 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉. Maybe it’s not a matter of love or hate, but understanding that their strictness, patience, and high standards, even when expressed through harsh words or intimidating presence, are not obstacles to your success, but tools to achieve it.

So, should we hate our clinical instructors? Perhaps the better question is: can we see their tough lessons, the fear they sometimes provoke, and even our tears, as investments in the nurse we aspire to become, and recognize that no matter their style, they can push us to learn more than we ever imagined.

𝐎𝐇, 𝐀𝐊𝐎’𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐀 𝐍𝐀!

Over naman sa dami ng activites, pwede bang dahan-dahan lang? Pwede bang friends lang muna? I don’t want to rush things kase eh.

Kidding aside, no matter how heavy the workload gets, we’ll get through it, as long as we keep showing up and don’t stop trying.

According to 𝙼𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚖-𝚆𝚎𝚋𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛, 𝙖𝙣𝙝𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙖 is a noun that refers to a condition characterized by the inability to experience pleasure in normally pleasurable activities.

In the demanding world of nursing, where compassion and care are daily expectations, anhedonia stands as a quiet yet powerful reminder of mental health awareness. 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙚𝙭𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤 𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙮 𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨.

Recognizing anhedonia among nurses and colleagues is not just about identifying fatigue; it is about fostering empathy within the profession. By addressing emotional well-being and encouraging open conversations, the nursing community can create a culture that values both patient and caregiver wellness equally.

"𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬." As student nurses, we see every day how growth requires effort, just like healing takes time, and learning takes consistency. Complaining won’t make the workload lighter, and rereading the same notes without reflection won’t make us better nurses.

This week, let’s choose action over excuses. Let’s embrace challenges as stepping stones toward the kind, skilled, and resilient nurses we are becoming. Every study session, every duty, every sleepless night brings us closer to the dream.

𝗙𝗨𝗡 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧

Here’s something you might not know: the nurse’s 𝐜𝐚𝐩 and 𝐩𝐢𝐧 aren’t just old-fashioned symbols; they’re timeless emblems of 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆, 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏. The cap, once used to keep a nurse’s hair neat and modest, has its roots in the head coverings worn by the first caregivers, women who served with 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 and 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 long before nursing became a profession. It stands as a quiet reminder that humility and care are the true crowns of those who heal.

The 𝐩𝐢𝐧, on the other hand, carries the 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 of the nurse’s promise. Each one is unique to its school, designed with symbols of 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, tracing back to the Maltese Cross worn by those who served the sick and wounded centuries ago. During the Pinning Ceremony, it isn’t just metal being placed on a uniform; it’s the moment a nurse takes their place in a centuries-old calling, pledging to serve humanity with 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 and 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚.

𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒚𝒎𝒊𝒂 comes from three Greek words: a (without), lexis (word), and thymos (emotion). It is characterized by an impaired ability to be aware, explicitly identify, and describe one's own feelings (Hogeveen, 2021).

People with this condition are often viewed as cold, distant, and rigid; however, that is not the case. They struggle to understand their own emotion. They are not heartless; rather, they simply find it difficult to express their inner world. They are not apathetic, they just struggle to voice it out. And so in a world where enunciating is thought highly, their action becomes their words. Their heart makes room for what their mind cannot tell. They are not senseless, they just process differently— one that requires patience and compassion.

And so if alexithymia could speak on its own, it would whisper: "𝐌𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝, 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝, 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭."

In a world that glorifies constant progress, it’s easy to forget that we are not machines built to optimize every second of our lives. Social media often magnifies this illusion, showing highlight reels of success that make us feel like we’re falling behind. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞; 𝐢𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Give yourself permission to slow down, to breathe, and to simply be. 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. Even in stillness, you are becoming.
