You didn’t just gain a diploma /degree in nursing,
you gained a person or people who walked every hard chapter with you.
You met as classmates,
bonded by quizzes you barely passed,
duties that drained you,
and dreams you whispered during late-night reviews.
You laughed during duty breaks,
survived sleepless nights, retdems, case presentations, and sometimes “ reading books” moments before exams.
They heard you say, “navileka ,nalema,”
and stayed anyway.
They reminded you why you started
when you couldn’t remember it yourself.
Now you’re both nurses
tired, busy, stretched thin by real-life responsibilities.
And somehow, despite different hospitals, different shifts, different lives,
you’re still in touch.
That connection didn’t disappear after graduation.
It survived the pressure, the distance, the growth.
Because some people aren’t just classmates,
they’re witnesses to your becoming.
If you still talk to your nursing school friend until now,
consider that a blessing;
hold onto them...
They didn’t just study with you,
they grew with you.
They’ve seen the version of you that almost gave up
and the one who finally made it.
