So how old are you now? Do you feel that you are being left behind? By your classmates? your friends? your family?. In what aspect? Is it about career? about relationship building? There are days when the feeling of being left behind is so strong. You see one friend buys his own car. You see your cousin gets his first promotion or your friend being able to settle and get married. On the other hand, you. Still thinking of what kind of job you really want. Questioning yourself why am I not able to stay at a job for long. You will question yourself "why am I not like them? Why are they getting what they want. While me, I am here, unstable and confused. Lost, in the hope of being able to find where I really want to be. This kind of feeling is one of the hardest feelings in the world. Because this means self doubt. This is extremely dangerous because you, yourself, that needs to believe in your capabilities first before others. And if you don't, no one will.  ...

Bakit ka kasi nag Nurse? Yeah, bakit nga ba? Umpisa pa lang mahirap na. Mapili ang mga Nursing schools sa estudyante. Mahigpit sa admission. Pag nakalusot ka wag ka magdiwang agad. Not so fast man, you will be tested numerous times until you are polished and ready to illuminate your patients life. Yung board exam? maniwala ka. Iiyak ka. Pagkaharap mo na yung papel? Magmumuka ka lang tanga kasi para kang walang alam. Yung pagaapply sa hospitals? Isa pa yan. Magbabayad ka para makapag training. Walang sweldo habang training(I am just blessed to be in an institution that provided us with a lot even we have to pay an amount which was acceptable). Kapag sumesweldo ka na masaya kung aabot ng 7-8 thousand ang sweldo mo. Yung iba 4-5 thousand. Paano ang pamilyang pinapakain mo? Anak na pinagaaral? Kapatid na walang baon? Magulang na may sakit? Rest day? maswerte ka kung magkasunod na araw. Mas maswerte ka kung meron. Tanggapin mo na rin na uuwi ka lagi galing sa 10-14 hours duty kasi...

After our graduation which happened last June 8 2016 we started our review for the boards June 28. Yeah, deep inside me I was complaining. I was not able to enjoy the feeling of being a graduate and here we go again, going to study. Ok so much of the rants . Let me now share to you how did I prepare for this one exam that will put me to the roster of the Registered Nurses in this country. These tips might or might not work for you. This can be just a guide in case we have the same learning style. I can say that for me it was effective. Hello?! 84.3 board rating duh! .2 na lang topnotcher na wag kayong magulo jan. HAHAHA humble talaga ako sorry. One more thing we did not enroll to any review center outside. UST is our second home and they want to make sure that we were getting the best. We did an in house review. I was really happy with this. Di na ako mahihirapan maghanap ng review center. The best of the best is already at reach. Ibang level yung galing ng mga prof ...

Ok,great. So finally I am pursuing my love for serving the Filipino People (Naks!). Finally I am practicing as a Nurse. Being the ambitious person that I am, I submitted my application in Makati Medical Center. One of the only JCI accredited hospitals in our country(THE ONLY 6TH EDITION ACCREDITED). The process was really strict. If you are not patient, most probably you will give up on the first few steps. I walked in the HR office and was scheduled for an exam June 15, 2017 as far as I can remember. After the exam I was notified after a month. See?! Can you just imagine how anxious and afraid I was during the whole waiting period. A lot was running in my mind.  "What if I failed?" "What if my credentials were insufficient?" "What if I am not qualified?" July 19 was the day! I was then contacted for series of interviews. I was really excited to be honest because with me being a product of several BPO's, my communication s...
