Letter to the Students

Happy New Year! Again, I would like to congratulate you for reaching the final
period of this semester. You have come the long way and you are now about to complete this
course.
In this module, I have combined all of the topics that you are expected to learn in
this final term. There are still 5 units of lessons but I have already combined it into one module
since the last 4 modules are supposed to be activity-based if we are in a face-to-face classroom
setting. The lecture proper in this module consists of the different laws that are related to the
public health. As future nurses, you are obliged to know these different laws in order for you
to become aware on how our government whether the current or previous administrations take
care the welfare of the public in terms of health aspects. Analyze and study these different laws
and policies for you to be guided and knowledgeable once you will become nurse specifically
community health nurse in the future.
For the other lessons, you are given different activities that would promote critical
thinking and help you to learn the Filipino culture, values and traditions that we expect to
encounter once we will be in the community. This is your last module already, and I hope that
you do your very best. You know your current standing already and I hope that you would
submit and comply to all these tasks given to you.
Here is another quote for you to be motivated in doing your module.
Sincerely,
Ma’am Thricia
