mY So cALLed FRIENDS>>>>>


In my entire existence, i have gained few friends out of quite a number of acquiantances. Despite of which, i am thankful for these selected ones since are of rare and superb quality. They are one of those that i consider as blessings. Despite the differences and difficulties they bring , i think God made a way to throw us all in and settle whatever personality mismatch we have. In due time, they were able to withstand my moods, extremeness, wickedness , kindness , and even my stupidity...

wHat's wiTH My NAME?


The word "ace" comes from the Old French word 'as' (from Latin 'as') meaning 'a unit', from the name of a small Roman coin. It originally meant the side of a die with only one mark, before it was a term for a playing card. Since this was the lowest roll of the die, it traditionally meant 'bad luck' in Middle English, but as the ace is often the highest playing card, its meaning has changed to mean 'high-quality, excellence'.

Why Did I Pursue Nursing?


Honestly speaking, Nursing course was not included in the list of my "to pursue course". Until one day, my Uncle ask me what course will i pursue. As i mentioned HOTEL AND RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT, he immediately reprimanded and discriminated my choice. I was totally shocked. He told me me that I should pursue nursing if i want a better "aCe". So from that words, I was challenged. With No doubts i took Nursing.

In this course, students are provided with an introduction to nursing practice. They have opportunities to learn basic nursing skills with a focus on assessment skills and experience nurses' work in a variety of settings. In addition, participants are introduced to the concept of family in relationship to nursing and health promotion.

For me, the major emphasis of this course is the personal meaning of health, related health assessment, health maintenance, and prevention. Students examine significant theoretical and conceptual frameworks of health in relation to self. By reflecting on personal experiences, participants have opportunities to identify personal resources and challenges that impact health and to recognize the complexity of the change process as related to health-promoting behaviour.

I do choose Nursing because of practical reasons, one of it is for the betterment of my family and my self, since i found nursing as very tough one and very much nerve breaking. For now i still continue to perseverse this course as i enter my forecoming 3rd year.
