30 years ..3 decades… and more than 1000 members counts later, I am honored and elated to be part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the Munsang St. John Ambulance Cadet Division and the Munsang Nursing Cadet Division.
I was the lucky appointed one, to be the founding Nursing Cadet Division officer alongside the late Mr. Denis Kin Man Yeung, the founding Ambulance Cadet Division officer in 1981.
The Ambulance and the Nursing Cadet Divisions were formed because of the demanding needs for first aids services on a daily basis and coverage for large school functions and gatherings, such as the Sport Day, and the Speech Days. At that time, about 30 of the upperclassmen had assembled a First Aid Squad to render first aid services, and had organized themselves with squads and patrols, equipments and trainings to perform their most valued first aid duties. But as the group grew larger, the leadership had envisioned a more formal and organized first aid corps for the existing members to grow into. Mr. Yeung and a couple other members were selected to investigate existing resources and make proposal to the school administration. The final proposal was very well received by then Principal, Mr. Samuel Loi. With the blessings of the school board and Mr. Loi, The St. John Ambulance Bridagde-Munsang Ambulance Cadet Division and Munsang Nursing Cadet Division were established in September 1981.
Right from when the two divisions were found, both the Ambulance and the Nursing Cadet Divisions had shown great enthusiasm and promise to be one of the elite groups within and beyond the school. The two shades of grey uniforms of the cadets had presented a visible reminder that our cadets were a highly disciplined entity among the many uni...

..., your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (From the Bible, Book of Mark 12: 30) This is a very good illustration of total dedication and devotion. If we know how to answer this higher calling, we will be able to serve the people by God’s creation. I attested that you will be able to draw on the fountain of strength and wisdom in God’s Kingdom to better your service in your household, your school and community.
To all of the Munsang Ambulance and Nursing Cadets: Be the Light of the world and live life fully as you have been trained to be great and fulfilled your purpose in life as you have commanded. Congratulation on carrying on the legacy, and a job well done over the years. Let me wish a Happy 30th anniversary to Munsang St. John Ambulance Cadet Division and Munsang St. John Nursing Cadet Division.

Enthusiast historians within the leadership of professional organizations have commonly focused on the accomplishments of notable nurses and professional organizations in what became a narrative of professional and societal progress. This narrative, whole providing much rich historical data and analysis, ignores the vast majority of nurses’ experience and voices. In the mid nineteen eighties, as nursing was increasingly embattled in a growing health care industry, historians, some from outside the nursing profession, began to examine this history.

When I learned that one individual can only do so much while a group of passionate individuals can even move mountains, I took on the role of a shift leader to moderate volunteers and joined the emergency department to study a new environment the hospital offer. During that time, I trained numerous volunteers and assisted countless staffs in saving lives at an effective rate with quality services. Many volunteers I trained are continuing their ardent determination to thrive in the small volunteer room alongside with zealous
...re opportunities for nurses. Today’s demand for skilled nurses significantly outweighs the supply of such professionals. In an economically challenged background, all nations are actively looking for ways to change healthcare by expanding value in the care delivery systems. For nurses, everyone’s role adds value to the patients, the communities, the countries, and the world. The development and evolution of nursing is associated with the historical influences throughout different ages. The study of the history of nursing helps understand the issues that confronted the profession. It also allows nurses to gain the appreciation they deserve for playing the role of caring for patients during wartime. The role of the profession has played an important part of history. Through the history, each nurse has efficiently established the achievements of the history of nursing.
First off, I want to start out by thanking you for going through the CCTI. Even though this time honored tradition has change a lot over the years (For the good and the bad) it is still a important part of our service rich heritage that is staying alive because of you and your fellow PCPO’s. A lot of E-7s will not even take two month out of their busy lives to learn about what it really means to be a Chief.

In this mentorship I continue getting new experiences in each day. Providence Mount St. Vincent, TCU is an open door for new learning opportunity. I used to work for Providence Mount St Vincent as a nursing assistant about three years ago, back then TCU wasn’t there. PMSV’s MISSION: As people of Providence, we reveal God’s love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable, through our compassionate service; CORE VALUES: Respect, compassion, justice, excellence and stewardship; VISION: Together, as people of Providence, we answer the call of every person we serve: know me; care for me; ease my way. This principle motivated and structured me to be a better caring, passionate, treat resident as individual and respect residents wishes. In this mentorship I got lucky because I am able to find a nurse that willing to mentor me in TCU. According to the nursing educator he told me that “you are the first nursing student allowed on the TCU”. That made me very proud and prepared to do my best.

During many years the role of school nurse was traditionally viewed as one where the nurse cared for students that were injured, applied bandages and gave out ice bags. Throughout the years the role of the school nurse has evolved into one of leadership and management along with many other duties including traditional roles as mentioned above. The services provided by a school nurse range from assessment and screening to coordinating care for regular students as well as students with special needs. School nursing requires experience and knowledge in school, public, community and emergency health to meet the many needs of school aged children and youth. The school nurse provides many services but the basic services provided include illness and injury assessment and interventions, medication administration, screenings for health factors, disease management, health education, and preparing individual education plans for students.
Every single encounter I had, including those with my peers and facilitators have left me a better nurse and person than when I arrived. It truly has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of this experience as it motivates me to seek out new experience and research to facilitate my continued growth both personally and as a nurse partaking in the process of my cleints’ “becomings”.

“First, there is the call to be a Christian. Second, for each individual there is a specific call—a defining purpose or mission, a reason for being. Every individual is called of God to respond through service in the world. Third, there is the call that we face each day in response to the multiple demands on our lives—our immediate duties and responsibilities” (Smith, ...

... of justice and kindness and devotion; pray and fast without fainting, and spend all of our time in some form of religious worship; if the things that we do were such to get us a name throughout the world, and make us famous to all future generations, it would all be in vain without sincere love to God in the heart. Furthermore, we understand that it is not the external work done, or the suffering endured, that is worth anything but yet it is the extent of love that is displayed that means something in the sight of God.
Focusing in on the commitments that I have made will place order and hierarchy in my life so that God may work in it as He pleases. I want to fully commit my life and vocation to God so that His glory may be seen in every aspect. Since the most important thing to God is building His kingdom by constantly bringing home His children, I plan to order my life in such a way that allows me to be a blessing to others. To live a sacrificed life means giving up things that this world labels as riches. Living for others and with others is the way lived His life and Jesus knew that He was modeling it for the generations to come. We cannot do life or ministry alone as we do not and are not able to possess all of the spiritual grace gifts. This sacrificed life indeed requires a disciplined life and a genuine commitment to fulfil God’s will in our
