CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
As part of our current curriculum (K-12), we are required to render eighty (80) hours of
Immersion with companies and other institutions such as Riverside College Inc. in order for us to
graduate; this program allows students to observe, learn and work so that they may practice
whatever we have learned in school and transform theories into actions. It is also an opportunity
for students to take a glimpse of what is the niche that they are going to face in the real world as
future professionals. Indeed this is one of the most highlighted part of one’s Senior High School
Each Senior High School strand are given opportunities to be exposed to the situations
that may affect their decision after gradion; some may directly transition into employment while
some will also continue on to higher learning. The Immersion Program allows the students to
gauge what would suit them best. This on-the-job exposure will be an positive aspect in their
implementation of the theories that they have learned from the classrooms into contemporary
situations.
College Inc. I hope that through reading this portfolio of mine, I would be able to show you my
experiences, the fun, the likes and dislikes, and the learnings.

COMPANY HISTORY
Riverside College is the brainchild of a man of vision – Dr. Pablo Obregon Torre, Sr.
As his practice grew over the years, the clinic evolved into a full-scale hospital – the
Riverside General Hospital which was administered with the assistance of the Carmelite nuns.
Seeing the need for competent personnel to operate the hospital, Riverside College, Inc.
was established with the School of Midwifery in 1958 and the School of Nursing initially as non-
baccalaureate course offerings. Soon after, the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of
Riverside College, Inc. were readily employed in various parts of the country as well as in the
With the rising demand for health care, the General Hospital was expanded in 1972 and
first renamed the Riverside Medical Center, and later as the Dr. Pablo O. Torre Sr. Memorial
Hospital.

ACTIVITY REPORT
able to be exposed and observe different departments. Each day of the Immersion Program was
allocated to a different department where the learners were given lectures, instructed on the basic
steps that is specialized in that department. This rotation plan allowed for a more wholelistic
experience for each of the students that were given the opportunity to be assigned at Riverside
College.
I came to school early in the morning (earlier than usual school days) since I’m a bit that
I may be late and be left behind by the bus. Fortunately, when I arrived the bus was not yet there
so we spent our extra time talking about things. The expected time of departure is 7:00 am yet
we left the school later than that since of some incidences. After travelling for more than an hour
we arrived at the Riverside College Inc. and proceeded to their Quadrangle for the final
instruction and resolving some complications since some of us from STEM will be leaving the
island for the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC). After that we along with our assigned
teacher went to the 6th floor where we will be having our first immersion activities under the
The morning session was mostly all about the discussion of the course (BSPT) and of the
institution (RCI) on why we should choose them when we go to college. Finally the after the
morning session we were given sufficient time for our lunch and for us to enjoy the new
environment. For lunch I ate shrimp tempura and it was delicious and was worth the price.
18
In the Afternoon, we discussed more about the different stretching exercises both in the
upper and the lower extremities, and also the different positions, and we have two (supine and
prone). After showing us how to do the stretching the teachers allowed us to perform them
unfortunately we were wearing school uniform and we were not able to perform the stretching
for the lower extremities. We also discussed about corrective exercises, muscle taping, and how
to crack the vertebrae. Finally after the lecture we were tasked to give a Return Demonstration
and at the same time an interview or a Q&A. We worked by pair and I was able to accomplished
the tasks though we forgot to do the Aftercare part which most probably reflected to our total
score. And that’s how my first day of immersion ended. It was exhausting but interesting at the
same time, and it made me consider BSPT as my 4th Choice (Sorry BS Chemistry is still Top 1).
suit me since I’m more of the Chemistry guy. In the morning, we discussed about radiologic
technology and what are their roles in the hospital and inn medicine in general, we also explored
the different rooms of the X-ray room which included the darkroom where the films are
developed using certain chemicals. The room was also built so that we are not exposed to
dangerous levels of radiation, the walls have Lead metal in them. Our immersion teacher also
gave us a riddle or more of a test where she showed us a reaction of the x-ray to the film where a
green light was formed and we are tasked to name that occurrence and because of my stored
knowledge that I gained thru doing scientific researches I was able to deduce the word and it was
FLUORESCENCE, and because I answered it correctly along with my other classmate we were
able to receive prizes. And we were allowed to create our own X-ray Film with the quote of our
choice.

DAY 3: BS Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is not my cup of tea, so forgive me if I say this but the day if not
because of my classmates would have become the worst. The day and the lecture was BORING
and I think this part of the whole immersion program in RCI was a bit irrelevant since as a
STEM student, I deliberately choose my strand since I enjoy learning science not learning how to
sell stuff. For this day the Food during lunch was the highlight.
Another day of mental torture. The whole day we were sitting and doing some activities
yet I found it the terrible. A thought came into my mind that no matter what academic
achievements you have if you are not a charismatic speaker things can go easily bad. Then again,
the day was perfectly describe by the B-word. Some of the topics that were disgust oh sorry I
mean discussed during the Entrepreneurship was repeated since we have a different assigned
teacher, and by that time I wanted to curse but I didn’t or maybe I did. The only time that I
experienced some dopamine a bit rushing in my veins and arteries was when we had that
screaming activity, it was hilarious and fun, though not enough to compensate for the whole day
of utter boredom.
Indeed after a drought season there is a rain coming to satisfy ones thirst. From the Start
of the sessions until they ended I can truly say that if you remove an organism from its habitat
you will endanger its life but it you put it back to where it truly belongs you might help it live a
20
happy life, same with us STEM students exposing us to the things of our least interest lowers our
energy though the two-day of dullness only made this day more lustrous. During the morning
activity we had some introductions as to what Medical Technology is and then after that we were
thought on how to extract blood from our veins otherwise known as Venipuncture. I was a little
hesitant at first to extract someone’s blood myself since I’m afraid that I may endanger their live,
funny right? But then I was able to take courage and do it and it was very satisfying knowing that
I did it myself. The Afternoon sessions came and we went back to their Laboratory where we
conducted blood typing, where we used specific reagents that reacted to our blood indicating our
personal blood type, well this topic was also discussed to us by our immersion teachers. Our time
for the day was supposedly done though we asked our immersion teacher about the bacterial
culture that the previous batch conducted and he was generous enough to let us conduct a
DAY 6: BS Nursing
We conducted our session for the BS Nursing inside their Simulated Hospital, it it kind of
reminded me of the playhouse in the mall where I used to play as a kid. The immersion teacher
discussed about charting and how to take a person’s vital signs such as pulse and respiration rate,
blood pressure, and body temperature. For the afternoon we started out late so we had more time
for ourselves to enjoy the room, we were allowed to play inside the simulated hospital with the
permission of our immersion teacher and had ourselves dressed like doctors and nurses
particularly those in the Medical Dramas and Kdramas. It was a very fun experience for me
especially the Chambe-Chanbe challenge inside the operating room though I was not able to
click the record button for the video which is a bit disappointing since it was really, really funny.
21
DAY 7: Entrance Examination
On this day, we were back to our school Ramon Torres National High School – Senior
High School. We took the Riverside Entrance Exam in the morning and went home.
DAY 8: BS Pharmacy
Since we were out for 2 days for a Regional completion we had to take our remaining
work immersion hours. This day is my most awaited day since BS Pharmacy is in the top of my
course list for college battling with BS Chemistry for the 1st spot. We waited in the quadrangle
for a long time for our immersion teacher to arrive but it is still ok since they were not informed
that they will be having us for the day. Of course I was very excited but at the same time hesitant
during the activity but it was a little bit below my expectations for the day since the
unpreparedness took the impact all away. So we were introduced to the 10 medicinal plants
approved by the DOH along with their scientific names and their uses, and I was the one who
volunteered to memorize all of their Binomial nomenclature though I succeeded I think it was
not a 100% but at least it was within the 90 range. The afternoon activity which included a game
where we needed to identify the plants projected in the picture was a lot of fun especially since
our group won. But lab experiment was not as stimulating as the one that we have done during
DAY 8: BS Psychology
It was our Final day in RCI and we were assigned to BS Psychology though we don’t
have a transportation service on the way to the institution so we were arrived late and we had to
22
find our other groupmates, when we arrived there and they are already starting with the
introductions of the session. We also discussed about the different love languages and we were
given a test to assess how we how our love t other people and I belong to the love thru service
and my lowest was on physical touch. In the Afternoon we were assigned to make a game that
will show communication skills and we choose a drawing relay game where the 1st person will
be given a word and then he/she will draw it and then the paper will be passed to the next in line
where he will draw his own interpretation of the drawing and so on. It was a fun day yet it is also
very tiring.

CHAPTER IV
REFLECTION
PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
The main problems that we encountered during the immersion program are:
One the first day and the succeeding days it was ok since the Bus was there to cater us
but then it was not consistent and by the last few days we had to take the public
In my own opinion, the rotation is a good way of exposing the students to different work
environments though it is also disadvantageous to students since there are course that are
very far from our line of interest the same goes with the students from the other strand.
It’s like making a Basketball player play Golf using his feet instead of a golf stick.
1. Secure the means of Transportation of the students and make sure that it is consistent all
2. Give the students activities that are related to their strand, it would not only satisfy their
interest it would also help them widen their knowledge to the area of their choice.
3. Improve linkages to other institutions since some of the students like me that has a course
choice that does not belong to either a medical field or the engineering field are out of
place and choose only to go with the area where it is closely related.
