Ms. Ma. Fe Aura Montesclaros, Director for Nursing Services, welcomed participants, emphasizing that every heartbeat, compassionate action, and skillful intervention that a nurse bring can profoundly impact patients, their families, and the healthcare team.

Present also during the opening day was UCMed’s Medical Director, Dr. Armando V. Tan, who delivered an inspiring message to the nursing staff, highlighting the vital role nurses play in not only healing but also advocating for and uplifting those in their care.

They also gave roses and cupcakes to the nurses from the different sections.

The day 2 celebration was an insightful lay forum as different topics were discussed by esteemed guest speakers.

The 3rd day was filled with cheer, laughter and camaraderie as the nursing staff from 6 different sections competed in “Laron ng Lahi” where in Operating Room Team was the winner.

Morning of the fourth day of the celebration was a battle for the brains as they competed again for the “Nurses’ Knock Out.” A question and answer game and race to the buzzer where the Emergency Department Team took the lead.
