Happy Nurse week sa lahat na magigiting na Nurses sa buong mundo☺️💖🧑⚕️
Happy Nurses Week at mag Ingay po tayo..
Happy Nurse’s Week but no one remembers,
Not my mom, nor my dad, nor my brothers and sisters
Maybe because the Media forgot in their calendars
And announce it on TV, FB, Radio, and Twitters
Happy Nurse’s Week but I guess it’s not that special,
not even my patients or doctors recall
That we too celebrate our pride as a professional
But I guess unlike teachers, we don’t get presents at all.
Happy Nurse’s Week in this last month of October,
and yet it feels like empty like it’s already over
Only few celebrates us and gives us honor,
Like a kid being left from party and crying in the corner.
Happy Nurse’s Week to our brave health soldiers
Who always fought the battle to help people recover
Who tend the wounds of many and make them feel better
Who assists in delivery, death and dying, up to morgue
Happy Nurse’s Week for those who work overtime,
Who forgot to drink, eat, p**s, in their shifts the whole time
Who are scolded by their doctors, patients and their folks
Who always get reprimanded by their power-tripping boss.
Happy Nurse’s Week to those who earn less than minimum,
who pays for their food, their rent, and other bills they assume
who can’t save because in their budget it has no room
who can’t even buy their wants or else they are doomed.
Happy Nurse’s Week to those who followed the call
To become a nurse with pride, who stands up tall
The one who works with humility, with care for each soul
Who cries silently when someone’s life fall
Happy Nurse’s Week to those who work elsewhere,
In hospitals, in companies, and in public health centers
To those NDPs in the mountains who everyday traverse rivers
And to those who work in rehabs, and home care for elders
Happy Nurse’s Week to our colleagues in other sectors
In the schools, in the offices, and those in call centers
In the ambulances, in police, and military forces
And those who chose the path of entering business.
Happy Nurse’s week to our OFW Nurses
Our source of inspiration, and hope for progress
Who valiantly left our nation in search for greener grass
Who are sometimes maltreated, and at worse, harassed.
Happy Nurse’s Week to us all Filipino Nurses
Practicing or not, graduate or students
With valiant heart let’s all make progress
Be an agent of change in the vocation we profess.
