Ano ang kwentong USTET mo?

Ano ang kwentong USTET(University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test) mo Since elementary alam ko na, sa UST ako mag aaral. “The Royal Pontifical Catholic University of the Philippines”, yan ang marka ng pamantasan kung saan ako nagtapos. Tinatak na ng magulang ko sa akin na dito ako mag aaral. At nung makita ko rin naman ang UST sino ba naman ang hindi maiinlove sa ganda ng campus. Tila ba wala ka sa Pilipinas. Kumuha rin naman ako ng exam sa ibang university, sa Lasalle at sa UP pero naka tuon ang interes ko sa paaralang ito. Masasabi kong di hamak na mas madali ang exam ng UST kesa sa La Salle at UP. Medical Technology at Nursing ang nilista kong kurso. Sa kasamaang palad. Hindi ako nagqualify sa pareho. Mataas ang quota sa parehong kursong. Eto kasi ang karaniwan sa mga kursong talagang sinasala ang mga estudyante dahil hindi biro ang pagsasanay na gagawin sayo. Tinago ko ito. Hiyang hiya ako dahil dito ko gusto mag aral at umaasa ang mga magulang ko na dito nila ako makikitang gagraduate. “Did not qualify” hindi ako tanggap. Kulang ako. Hindi ako sapat para maka pasok. Hindi ako pang UST! Masakit eh.

Pero hindi. Hindi pa tapos ang laban. Hindi man ako magaling sa entrance exam may isa pa akong bala. May isa pa akong laban. At ngayon gagamitin ko naman ang tiyaga at diskarte ko. Pabalik balik ako sa UST nung mga panahon na ito. Nagaabang sa Med Tech kung may hindi tutuloy sa pagpasok. Baka sakaling makasingit ako. Umulan o Umaraw sumasadya ako sa UST. Dito ko kasi talaga gusto eh. Alam kong para sa akin ito. Dumating ang panahong parang wala na talaga. Isipin mo, hindi ako nag try sa ibang school. Wala akong pakealam. Alam kong makakapasok ako sa UST. Sapilitan na to. May 5, tandang tanda ko ang araw na sinabi sa akin ng receptionist sa Faculty of Pharmacy- MedTech na sarado na ang slots nila. Gumuho ang mundo ko mga beh. Pero iba talaga ang kapangyarihan ng dasal. Isama mo pa ang makulit mong nanay Mama: Oliber! wag ka umiyak jan. Saan ba ang building ng Nursing. Mag Nurse ka. Pumunta tayo doon baka meron pa. Ako ang makikipag usap. At yun nga. Pag punta namin sa College of Nursing buong giliw kaming sinalubong ni Ms. Maila. Sinabi niyang may slots pa at isschedule nya ako ng interview. Isa sa mga araw na hindi ko makakalimutan. Napaka saya. At pagtapos ng interview na yun, sigurado na ako. Tomasino na ako. Ngayon, nakakatuwang isipin na Nurse na ako. Registradong Nurse. May mataas na marka pa sa board exam. Samantala noon ni hindi ka nga makapasa sa unibesidad na gusto mo. Isang paalala lamang ito sa atin na hindi dahil pangit ang naging umpisa eh pangit na rin ang magiging takbo ng lahat. Noong panahon na di ako pumasa sa entrance exam pwede ko isipin “nako baka hindi talaga ako para dito” o kaya naman “baka di ako para maging nurse talaga”. Hindi dahil di mo nakuha sa isang subok lang eh hihintuan mo na. Laban lang ng laban. Dahil hanggat hindi ka tumitigil at sumusuko iyo pa rin pangarap mo. Alam kong hindi lang ako ang nakaranas ng ganito. Ikaw ba? Ano ang kwentong entrance exam mo?

How to Makati Medical Center 101 Part 1 : CARE training

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...

Trust your own pace, believe in your own timeline

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.  ...

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 ...
