CESDEV JOINS KAPUSO SERBISYO
The student nurses volunteers of the Community Extension Services and Development (CESDEV) of the College of Nursing of University of Cebu-Banilad joined the Kapuso Serbisyo, Maagang Pamasko ng GMA at the Mabolo Elementary School.
The activity which was spearheaded by GMA 7 television network gathered thousands of indigents of Barangay Mabolo and nearby barangays for free consultation ( adult and pediatric patients ) as well as free dental check-up and tooth extraction.
The activity started very early. The volunteers were assembled at the gymnasium at 5AM and stretched up to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Other organizations that participated were the Rotaract Club, and Kapwa Ko Mahal Ko Foundation.
KAPUSO JINGLE
The Kapuso jingle was continuously played during the duration of the Medical-Dental Mission of GMA7 television network dubbed as Kapuso Serbisyo. The patients were also provided with entertainment by Kapuso stars who graced the event making the whole Saturday afternoon atmosphere festive.
KAPUSO SERBISYO SIDELIGHT
As a sidelight to the Serbisyo Kapuso, I am posting a clip of Lea Salonga's commercial for a toothpaste product that were also distributed during the Medical-Dental Mission of GMA7. Distribution was done by UC Nursing CESDEV volunteers who showed their sweetest smile as they gave away product samples. The droves of people were undoubtedly convinced. Who wouldn't be ... look at their smiles!

PRAYER FOR THE PRELIM EXAM
As you prepare for your Preliminary Examination which will be next week, don't forget to pray for God's guidance. Here's one prayer for you ...
Prayer Before an Exam
O wise God, I pray that my mind might be rested, my body energized, and my spirit inspired for the exam I must write. Grant me peace and assurance so that I might do the best I am able, regardless of what that might be.
Be with my fellow students and may I be a good example to them, offering reassurance and confidence regardless of how I feel.
May I be honest and insightful, and able to give a true record of what I have learned. In the end, may any disappointment be born with grace, and any joy accompanied with humility.
I write this exam with Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE BOARD EXAMINATION
As the December group of Batch 2007 takes the Nurses Licensure Examination this December 1, and 2, 2007, we are sharing this prayer to our examinees. Let us also include them in our prayers as they hurdle this two-day examination. May they truly be guided and enlightened.
In this time of anxiety, O loving God, grant me peace of mind. Quiet any distress and allow me to see clearly my mission and discipleship.
I pray for my examiners as well as for myself, so that they might be wise in their questioning so that it will allow for a true accounting of my learning and understanding.
May the memory of my family and friends remind me of their support, regardless of outcome, united with them in the spirit of love.
May I be wise enough to gain enough rest so all might be ready, my thoughts organized, and my life dedicated to serve Thee whatever the cost, through the love of Jesus Christ, my Saviour. Amen.
