WUP’s College of Nursing batch 2013 conducted its Capping, Pinning, Dedication and Candle Lighting Ceremonies last September 17 at the Nueva Ecija Convention Center in Palayan City.

The ceremony’s theme this year was “Facing Future Challenges in the Caring Profession with Passion and Determination.”

Three hundred thirty sophomores from Cushman Campus and three students from WUP’s Maria Aurora Campus were accompanied by their parents, clinical and academic instructors, and their dean Dr. Melania C. Cenon, together with President Manuel G. Palomo.

Mrs. Elizabeth R. Roxas, dean of Baliuag University’s College of Nursing was the guest speaker of the event. She delivered a message which focused on the responsibilities of a nurse and the real essence of service.

The occasion’s highlight was the entrance of Miss Florence Nightingale in the person of Ms. Danica Marie C. Baluyot and the audiovisual presentation accompanied by three song numbers performed by Prof. Juanito A. Mandia, Prof. Mark Anthony A. Mendez and Prof. Norvin T. Miguel.

The ceremony ended with the recital of the Florence Nightingale Pledge by the candidates followed by the singing of their class song entitled “We Will Carry the Torch.” ###
