BCSI Sends Off Future Nurses with Faith, Hope, and Courage
At exactly 4 in the afternoon, the Chapel of Brokenshire College of SOCCSKARGEN Inc. (BCSI) became a place of prayer, reflection, and encouragement as fourth-year student nurses gathered for a send-off prayer in preparation for the late August 2026 Philippine Nursing Licensure Examination.
Together with their clinical instructors and several prominent figures of the institution, the student nurses were given a moment to pause from the pressure of board preparation and reflect on their journey at BCSI. The meditation encouraged them to look back on their years as student nurses, remembering the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, the friendships they formed, and the experiences that helped shape them into the future nurses they are today.
The gathering also emphasized that preparation for the board examination goes beyond knowledge and confidence. While believing in one’s abilities is important, the students were reminded to never forget to pray and seek the guidance of the Lord God, especially as they face one of the most important milestones of their nursing journey.
Adding inspiration to the gathering was guest speaker Arnold T. Serna, RN, a board passer who shared his testimony and experiences. His message reminded the students that the road toward becoming a registered nurse is filled with challenges, but perseverance, faith, and determination can help them overcome them.
The send-off was anchored on the words of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” The verse served as a reminder that the students do not have to face the board examination alone. Their knowledge and preparation, strengthened by faith, can give them the courage to face whatever challenges come their way.
As the late August board examination draws near, BCSI sends its future nurses forward with prayers, hope, and confidence. Every sleepless night, clinical duty, examination, and sacrifice has brought them closer to this moment.
To all BCSI board takers, believe in the work you have put in and trust the knowledge you have gained throughout your journey. Walk into the examination room with confidence, but keep your hearts humble in prayer. Do not let fear overshadow how far you have come. Give your very best, trust in God’s plan, and remember that an entire community is praying and cheering for you. May God guide your minds, calm your hearts, and bless the fruits of your hard work. You have prepared for this moment. Now, take the boards with courage and faith. Good luck, future RNs!
