Dr. Rauto told them as they transition from the structured environment of classroom learning to the practical, hands-on experiences that await them, it is imperative to recognize that the next 18 months will be a critical period for their professional development.

Dr. Cikamatana also reiterated that nursing is not merely a profession but a calling.
