Nurses Can Cook! : A Cook Book Project for Nurses

Yey! Finally i’ve come up with the first project of “Strolling Down Nursing Lane” for nurses all over the world. I’ve given it a whole lotta thought and i decided to give justice to all nurses who got that knack for what esle but COOKING!!! You know how our life as nurses goes, most of the time we can’t even have that snip of time to eat properly during working hours even if we are entitled for a 30-minute break. But because a lot of us love cooking either as a hobby or maybe some form of therapy for long hours of duty in the hospital now is the time for you to share your recipes. I just love cooking especially when i get complete ingredients for a dish and i love to experiment and make different kinds of dishes. This project will be made available to all nurses who love to cook. Share your own original recipes to the whole world. Now this is how it goes:

1. Email me  (mrb.victorino@rxpinoy.com) these information: full name, nickname, a little bit of your personal background, how did your interest in cooking start?, a whacky picture of yourself and send me your original recipe with this format—> name of the recipe, ingredients, how to cook, and a picture of the recipe

2. There should only be at least 2 original recipes per person

3. Your recipe should be unique and original

4. tell me why i should include your recipe in this book project

5. your recipe can be a main course, an appetizer or a dessert

6. This project is limited to 50 people only so hurry! Send your recipes now! If this project may be so overwhelming, we can make a second book to accomodate more interested people so don’t worry.

As soon as the entries for this book project is complete, we will make a book out of it and voila! you’ll be an instant star and contributor to the book entitled “Nurses Can Cook!”

So what are you waiting for? Send me your recipes now!!!

JUNE 7TH FORUM

 Yes! Im very glad that the June 7 exposure about Tourette Syndrome was very successful. I gained new friends again, people who have the disability, their family and friends. It was all worth it! Of course, i should give credit to my officers and of course, the consultant for medicine at St. Lukes since he coordinated with the admin to let us have a place for the forum. I am now looking forward to our third exposure!

Finally, an Experience With Nursing

It’s already been almost two years since my last nursing practise. Finally, work has come my way. You might be wondering what i did for the past two years without a nursing practise. Well, i started my tourette syndrome organization which is not very easy. i finished my masters degree, which is not easy either and took care of three rambunctious kids which i will be doing for the rest of my life hehehe. But fortuntely, yes, i chose to gain mastery in the field of dialysis which is more interesting than gaining experience in the ward. i prefer a more focused area of specialty such as this. so i’m really excited to give this a go.

We’re on our Second Exposure for the Campus Tour Series of PTSA

The first forum was done pretty well and i say that it was a small group but very interested participants for the whole Tourette Syndrome thing. Now that we’re on our second forum, i hope that this will go on and on. Our second forum is going to be at

MOVEMENT DISORDER CENTER 4TH FLR, ANNEX III, ST. LUKES MEDICAL CENTER, JUNE 7, SATURDAY, 9- 11:30 AM

We will hold presentations about the organization, about Tourette Syndrome as a disorder, and workshops. Eventhough we have very limited resources, i hope that we can pull this off the second time. By the way, if you are interested to come, the forum holds a registration fee of only 150 pesos. Certificates will only be given to those who will request for it. Snacks will be offered. Please register your full name to 0915.4424340.

Thoughts about the IWitness Documentary on Tourette Syndrome

Aside from being a couch potato from time to time is my work with the Philippine Tourette Syndrome Association. The documentary was finished and as far as the staff of IWitness for Sandra Aguinaldo is concerned, they’ve got good rating about the whole story. And as far as the organization is concerned, being a newly founded organization, iWitness was a very very good exposure for all of us. After that episode my mobile phone never stopped ringing. Calls just went here and there. And i was so happy to also get good feedback from these people, that they wanted more out of it. And so because of that, my work to make Tourette Syndrome known in the Philippines went on double time! I met a lot of people especially individuals who were diagnosed with the disorder, their family and friends. I felt very glad that people are starting to educate themselves about TS. I really hope that more and more people will start joining the organization because this is really for an excellent cause. Since my partner and I started the organization, we’ve been shelling out our own money to get this running. We are actually in need of financial donations for some projects to materialize. We’re not loosing hope..we will never lose hope. We aspire for great things to happen.

Bad Blogger

 I must say that i have been a very bad blogger since i’ve forgotten to update this blog for nearly two months. I just enjoyed my time being a couch potato after finishing the enormous task of doing a thesis for a masters degree. And yes, i’ve already graduated. Thank you for those who have congratulated me. I actually saw and experienced ”toxicity” on a different level while finishing the paper. It was indeed so laborius that, yes, i’ve experienced a little bit of tachychardia and believe me that even if you’re deprived of sleep, your LOC should be maintained at a highest level. Otherwise, you wouldn’t get as good writing as you wanted to. But as nurses, we are trained to multi-task so finishing the paper is another thing in history.
