After a month of being an orientee, I still feel new to the nursing career. I still have not gotten the hang of the job description and as I carry out my duties, I am thinking that nurses are indeed the unsung heroes of the hospital. They are the ones up on their feet 24/7 that translates to being the heartbeat of the hospital and yet they are underpaid. The tasks are physically and intellectually demanding and I am thinking that if the job is the same as the one abroad, I would rather fly out for a greener pasture as the salary is not enough to support he expenses for medications for the illness or injuries that one might develop in performing her duty.
This just crossed my mind as I was at patient’s bedside doing the morning care. I might consider doing the Dallas job search search as suggested by a colleague is who about to test the nursing career in the US.
