It has been more than a year since my last entry here. After graduation last year, we had a day to rest, and then review for the board exam started. April last year, we headed to Graceland in Tayabas, Quezon and stayed there for six weeks for intense review. The Graceland Experience was one of a kind, and SCIONS and Aim One families are never ever forgotten. "Grab Your License!" Great days and nights, great people, great food, great activities, great learning, great faith and really just a totally, completely, great journey!
May last year, I, together with my batchmates braved the May 2014 Nurse Licensure Examination for 2 days. Pass or fail, the Lord is to be praised. Waited a month for the results. Prayed harder, got bored, watched movies, read novels, went to the gym, played the guitar for a month.
Until the 27 of June last year, I had finally added two letters to my name. To God be the glory because I am now Iris Desiree F. Robeves, RN.
July last year, we had our oathtaking at Lucena, Quezon. It was also the month we took ACLS, BLS and IVT! Way to go!
August was spent on passing resumes. September was purely waiting and waiting and waiting and deciding.
October, I became one of the PalaWanderers! Started the 3-month training at the Adventist Hospital Palawan. It was an amazing, inspiring, wonderful, heaven-sent adventure that I am forever grateful to God for. Because I met and worked with God fearing, excellent nurses and hospital staff, learned to live independently, was very free, wandered on my escapades, reflected so much about God and life.
November, December, January, February. I visited home on Christmas last year, got lonely and homesick in January. Celebrated my 21st birthday on a Sabbath day and decided my hashtag will be #TwentyOneAndStrong. Finally graduated with my batch sweet sixteen, and had my interview for employment.
March, I processed requirements and had my pre-employment medical. Also transferred to the dormitory. Oh! I failed to mention I made friends with three lovely dogs back at the apartment. So when I was all set to sign and seal the contract...BOOM.
It just happened. March this year, I went back home here in Cavite. Took the exam and had my interview at SLHMC, had my pre-employment medical.
April this year was spent on waiting. But I received my ukulele from Cebu! A birthday gift from a "special someone" who wants to remain anonymous. It's personalized, it has my name on it, and it's just really gorgeous!
April this year, there were changes. And now, I am writing this. I am clueless. I don't know what's next. But what I do know and sure about is that GOD is in control. He is. He's fighting for and with me. Philippians 4:13 again and again!
