You recognise these symbols . They are
The Staff or Rod of Asclepius, and the Caduceus.

Often confused as symbols of medicine. But only the Rod of Asclepius holds that honour.

These are common symbols seen on logos, tattoos and the images on ambulances or hospitals

So let’s look at their meanings :

The caduceus is the staff of Hermes (Mercury in Roman mythology). It has two snakes intertwined and wings at the top.

Its meaning is tied to commerce, negotiation, travel, and communication, not medicine. Its association with healthcare largely comes from historical misuse—most notably when the United States Army Medical Corps adopted it in the early 1900s… shhh don’t tell them .

The staff of Asclepius belongs to Asclepius. Asclepius was the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing, regarded as the divine patron of physicians.
In mythology, he was the son of Apollo and a mortal woman, Coronis.

He was trained in healing by the wise centaur Chiron and became so skilled that legends say he could raise the dead. This power disrupted the natural order, leading Zeus to strike him down with a thunderbolt. It features a single snake wrapped around a plain staff, with no wings.

This is the correct and historically accurate symbol of medicine and healing, representing:
-Restoration of health
-Renewal (snake shedding its skin)
-Clinical care and therapeutics

It is used by organisations like the World Health Organization.

Hey co-nurses. Ano na ang mga naipundar ninyo from years of working as a nurse.

Nursing is not a role anyone can step into.
It asks for more than basic skill.
It requires strength that holds up under pressure.
Intelligence that works fast and thinks critically.
Compassion that stays present in pain.
Nurses face the world’s illness head-on.
They carry suffering others turn away from.
They listen when fear speaks the loudest.
They act when situations feel overwhelming.
Every shift demands purpose.
Every decision carries weight.
They balance science with humanity.
Logic with empathy.
Urgency with calm.
This work reaches far beyond hospital walls.
It protects communities.
It sustains well-being.
It preserves dignity in the hardest moments.
Nursing isn’t for everyone.
It’s for those called to care for the world.
