UPHSD Calamba - Nightingale Society

✨ A moment of pride, purpose, and new beginnings ✨
Last May 9, 2026, we gathered to celebrate the success of the 19th Ring and Pin Ceremony and the 21st Capping, Pinning, and Candle Lighting Ceremony — a remarkable milestone symbolizing dedication, compassion, and commitment to the noble profession of nursing. 🩺🕯️

With the theme “Answering the Call: Embracing Compassion, Commitment, and Care,” the event highlighted the true essence of service with heart and purpose.

Graced by the inspiring presence of our guest speaker, Carl E. Balita, who emphasized our CALLING: commitment for compassion to care— reminding us of our power to help, perpetually in life. Through his message to H.E.L.P. — Heal, Educate, Lead, and Pray — we are guided to grow as compassionate, lifelong learners and purpose-driven future nurses.

As candles were lit and pins were proudly worn, a new generation of future healthcare professionals took a meaningful step closer to their dreams. May this journey continue to be guided by knowledge, empathy, and unwavering faith. 💚

Happy International Nurses Day to all nurses and future nurses who continue to embody compassion, resilience, and selfless service. 💙🩺

This celebration is dedicated not only to the profession we aspire to uphold, but also to the people who helped shape us along the way.

Our heartfelt gratitude to our Dean, faculty members, and clinical instructors for your unwavering support, guidance, patience, and dedication in molding us into compassionate and competent future healthcare professionals. Your teachings and encouragement continue to inspire us to serve with excellence and heart.

May we all continue to heal, comfort, and make a difference in every life we touch. 🌍✨

Congratulations, Perpetualite Nursing students! 💚

Thank you so much, The Perpetualite Archives - UPHSD Calamba ✨

“Be vigilant, for even when you are walking through a beautiful garden, there is always a snake.”
The story of Adam and Eve reminds us that we should never let being comfortable make us careless. Even in our happiest moments, we must stay sharp and guard our hearts. Because temptation often hides where we least expect it.

𝓔𝓹𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓼 6:1-3 says “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother’—which is the first commandment with a promise. So that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

During milestones like these, we must not forget to thank and honor everyone who has been by our side. It’s a wonderful reminder to stay present and appreciate the beautiful blessings that God has given and yet to give us. Be thankful, always. For life and its blessings are beautiful.
