I was too caught up with my hospital duty that I forgot to respond to the job notifications I received on my email. I did my job search a few months ago right after I was hired as a full time nurse. Right now I have a handful of job matches and I am still browsing through the institutions’ requirements. I hope I’d land on a great career.

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.

The only drawback of my resignation from my post, if there would be any, is the insurance coverage that I have lost. I know that there is always affordable life insurance around but still, my faith is stronger than ever and I know that God would be my shield against any danger in this world. He knows that my heart beats for something else and the pulsation of this reality has been trying to escape my chest for the longest.
I have my mindset. I have my dreams. I have my desire. I had to breakaway.

We just had our exam and I had trouble answering the pharmacology part. I was tempted to cheat during the exam but I chose not to. I just told myself to do better next week.
I feel to tired neuroligically.

I have got my scrub suits from the LCP.  I was the last one to claim them noting that the start of immersion in the ward is today.  It is actually my off today and my duty will start tomorrow.

I was really apprehensive in continuing my training program but my strong desire to do what I want is undeniably palpable.

For now, I will take things as they are without disregard to my passion.

I can’t help but smile seeing my name embroidered on the scrub suits with R.N.  at the end of it.

After three years of graduating from nursing school, I  am back to school or class, as you can appropriately call it.

Today is the beginning of my three-month training program at the Lung Center of te Philippines.

I am really excited to meet young and old faces. Some are newly graduates some have just graduated from nursing as their second course.

I have learned on the orientation that the top ten trainees would get a chance be lined up for manpower  pooling at the LCP. Well, with 121 students who are I think very much willing to kill just to get a job there, good luck on my quest!
