Whoever will tell me that nursing is easy surely don't know what they're talking about. It's like living in hell.

First of all, you are already offering your service for free in exchange for a simple Certificate of Employment, yet most hospitals requires a lot of training before they can hire you.

They'll look for all the certifications that they can (i.e. BLS, IVT and even ACLS) which would cost a lot... and I mean A LOT. One seminar would cost about 3k. And to top that, a couple of them requires you to submit a copy of your Certificate of Registration, to which unfortunately takes months for PRC to process.

Although I'm fortunate to have a hospital to work with, I'm not fully decided on accepting its offer primarily because it is not a tertiary hospital in which most recruitment agency is requiring, and it's about an hour's ride from where I'm living.

I'm still currently in the hunt for a hospital nearby. Actually, I've been to one who's willing to hire me... after the release of my IVT id, which will take about 6 months top.

God, I just wished I never took up nursing!!! Read the full story

Currently, there's just 11 hours to go before the year ends, and as a new one starts, it leaves me thinking where am i heading.

In 12 more weeks, I'll be graduating from mg BSN course, and yet, i don't know what am i supposed to do next. Well, I have plans of taking the local board, but working as a nurse is another issue. I'm almost fed up with it after almost two years of clinical exposure. It just becomes tedious and boring.

I do have some other options besides working in a hospital, but still, i need to waste at least a year's worth of my time in one in order for those other options to be realized. I can't just escape from working in one.

Though I can also work beyond the nursing world! But that is not an option as of the moment. A lot of people would just be angry at me if do so.

I'm quite confused right now! I really, really hope for the new year to give me the guidance that i need!

Later! Read the full story

I've officially terminated a friendship last Saturday, and I'm really satisfied with it. I may sound harsh, but that's just the way I feel.


As most people say, love can either make a relationship tighter, or it can just destroy it. In my case, it just destroyed it. It was his fault (yes, you've read that right, it's a he, a homosexual) falling in love with me even though he knows that I can't and won't reciprocate it. Nasasayangan ako sa pinagsamahan namin, so i didn't bother moving out of it, but now, it's totally a different story that just ending it would be the best choice.


Ang dami ng nadadamay na people dahil lang sa infatuation niya sa akin. Every girl na ma-link lang sa akin, aawayin niya. He's acting so strange that I just had enough. He wasn't even like that before. He asked for it, so i've giving it to him...


Saka after ending it, he asked for a forgiveness several hours later, kesyo nakainom nga daw siya and eveything. I didn't want to reconcile na, but just because nasasayangan ako sa friendship that time, i did accept him back. Then a few hours later, nalaman ko na lang na he was telling everyone na ako pa ang naghahabol para patawarin niya... The Hell! That brought me to my boiling point that whatever he says, this friendship has already ended. Buti na nga lang at napabasa ko sa ilang friends namin ang mga text nya that he can't take it if i won't forgive him.


Now, todo iwas ako. I should have been in a seminar kanina, but i didn't bother going dahil andun nga siya. Then me Physical Exam kami tomorrow, pero nagparesched na ko, and then nagpalipat na din ako ng Clinical group ko because i don't really want to be in his company anymore. Pati text nya, super hindi ko pinapansin. He made me do this, i have no choice.


I've been told by our friends na nasasayangan sila sa friendship namin, but why would i bother bringing it back when it's already ruin? Can i forgive him? Probably, but not now. Can i forget? That's a sure NO! After what's been done and said... I'm happier this way, nabunutan nga ako ng tinik sa lalamunan e. From this day forward, this is the only memory i'll ever have of that guy, everything's erased and hopefully, forgotten. Read the full story

I never liked making thesis, ever since nung highschool pa lang ako, kalokohan lang yung thesis na ginawa ko, homemade battery na nakita ko lang sa net, pero ito ang hanep, nung ibinigay ko yun sa kapatid ko, approved agad ng research prof nya at yun pa sana ang gusto nyang ipasok sa Intel something competition, buti na nga lang at di natuloy... Pero imagine, parehas lang kami ng research prof, di man lang napansin... oh well!


Ngayon e problema nanaman tong lecheng thesis na to... This month na ang preliminary defense namin, pero up to now e ala pa kami napagkasunduang topic ng mga ka-group ko... Ang dami na naming napaappprove sa adviser namin, pero lagi din naming pinapalitan even though she thinks na matino ang topic namin... kung bakit kami ganito, i really don't know... hehe


From prevention of neonatal sepsis to perception of student nurses regarding homosexuality to stress and ways of coping, dami na talaga... lagi na lang kami nagkakaproblema pagdating sa formulation of the problem, hirap kasi e...


Ngayon naman ay stuck kami on perception of student nurses towards male nursing students... weird no? a bahala na, cramming talaga ang mangyayari nito...


Basta, the bottom line is... Thesis making sucks bigtime! Nyahaha Read the full story
