Last Saturday, I got a text from World Citi College (WCC) HR that I was chosen to undergo the Nurse Training Program and I was scheduled to take the exam this morning. To which I texted back that I already went through final interview and has paid the initial training fee of P2500 in February and that I was supposed to be in the February batch of trainees but just deferred due to the short notice I got from them then.
The HR officer affirmed that I was indeed on the waiting list of the next batch of trainees and I should still come to their office on Monday at 9:00 am (which is today) for contract signing and instructions to which I obliged.
I swapped sked with my office mate so I could swing by WCC in the morning.
I was there before 9 am along with other examinees. The HR assistant, after learning my purpose, did not ask me to take the exam and instructed me instead to wait for the HR supervisor. After almost an hour of patiently waiting, the assistant informed me in a very apologetic manner that the contract has not been prepared yet and as she was about to discuss further the supervisor approached us. She told me that there have been changes in their training program.
Originally it was a 4-month training program which is billed at P2500 per month. Starting the new batch, they will be adapting the 2-month training program and they have not revised the contract yet as the signatories were out somewhere.
I was told that the training program will commence on May 25 and I will be surely contacted for the contract signing before then.
I was done with them at past 10:00 a.m. I decided to go straight to the office and just render an over time since my sked was at 1:00 p.m.
I needed to be productive. The caffeine I chugged this morning at Mc Donald’s has kicked in and I was not expecting to doze off until the wee hours of the morning.
While in the office, I remembered to phone Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP). I was included in the batch 18 of their “continuing education program” (read: volunteer) tagged P3000 for three months.
The batch in which I was reassigned is scheduled to be “trained” in mid-July.
I was told over the phone to submit the requirements already.
It’s my rest day tomorrow. So I will drop by to comply.
If my calculations are correct, I will be able to finish the 2-month training program at WCC right before the training in LCP will start.
I won’t quit my call center job just yet. Next week will be my first time to be on graveyard shift since time immemorial. I have aasked my team mates to swap their graveyard sked with me starting May 25. This way, I could joggle paid and volunteer works.
I just hope nothing gets compromised not even my health.
I also hope that LCP has pulled their acts together this time. The last time I went there, my name was missing on the list of any batches of trainees.
At this point in time, I am hoping for the best.
