What will happen if a warrior of health becomes a victim of unwellness? Such an unlikely scenario but, you see, not really new to our senses.
Being a nurse, I am well aware that prevention is paramount when we are talking about health; even a non-nurse knows that. Perhaps I was just so carefree about this [...]
A Parcel of Pain (Nursing Role)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Filipino Nurses' Stories, Posted on January 18th, 2010 by adminNo Comments
Last Friday, a family friend gave us a pair of love bird. It came with a set of circular cage and some small plastic cylindrical containers for the water and food. It was well obvious that my brother and sister loved it.
Such a pretty couple. Just when work have eaten me up, where everything [...]
Losing My Baby (Nursing and Caring)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Filipino Nurses' Stories, Posted on January 11th, 2010 by adminNo Comments
I have been trudging the Pediatric Department for years. In fact, everything just seemed routinary for me. Therapeutic care is nothing more than scripted part of work.
This was the case until my Cedirc got sick. Holistic caring I learned during my Nursing School days went crashing on me. Reminiscing every bit [...]
Felt a Little Poke (Hospital Nursing)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Filipino Nurses' Stories, Nursing Industry in the Philippines, Posted on January 4th, 2010 by adminNo Comments
I truly hope the assurance of safety for nurses in Philippine hospitals would be seriously addressed by the concerned authorities. Just recently, one of my colleagues suffered an occupationally-related accident—a needlestick incident. She can’t help but become paranoid; she is preoccupied that she might acquire an illness after that unfortunate incident.
The mishap that my colleague [...]
Something… (A Pinoy Nurse’s Story)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Nurses’ Careers, Posted on December 28th, 2009 by adminNo Comments
Another christmas has passed and just few more days to go we’ll bid goodbye to 2009 (and hopefully to the misfortunes that we have experienced this year) and welcome 2010 with hopeful smiles. In my case, I still feel a bit squeamish and doubtful if I could really sing the “auld lang syne” merrily— could [...]
Another Battle Conquered: NCLEX
Category: About the NCLEX-RN, Filipino Nurses, Filipino Nurses' Stories, Posted on December 15th, 2009 by adminNo Comments
As a nursing student, I have always considered the National Council on Licensure Examination (NCLEX) as the ultimate exam that I had to pass in order for me to feel complete about my nursing studies. I admit, just like any other second courser in nursing, going to the United States is my wish for my [...]
Don’t Let the Pain Remain (Hospital Nursing)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Filipino Nurses' Stories, Posted on December 1st, 2009 by adminNo Comments
I have had the opportunity to become an Emergency Room nurse at our local hospital for about three months. And one of the most routinary procedures done is IV insertion. It’s easy to do with adults because there’s almost zero resistance. There are some who have needles-or-anything-sharp phobia (whatever that is called) but they’re left [...]
That Nurse Wears Prada (Story of a Nurse)
Category: Filipino Nurses, Nurses’ Careers, Posted on November 24th, 2009 by admin1 Comment
PRADA, GUCCI and all those fancies haven’t only fascinated me but had literally ruled my world! If you know me, you’d probably spell my name as F-A-S-H-I-O-N.
I used to be that typical ragamuffin until my dad strike it rich. To cut it short, I was the living proof of Cinderella’s rags to [...]

A nation with rich culture, profuse natural resources and good-natured people; the Philippines is on earnest efforts in realizing its aspiration of becoming a strong Republic.
Once regarded as one of the most glorious and progressive countries in Asia, the Philippines was placed second to Japan in terms of economic status besting other Asian countries [...]
The Nursing Transition
Category: Filipino Nurses, Nurses’ Careers, Posted on November 9th, 2009 by adminNo Comments
A brilliant nurse once described nursing as: “A profession sincerely dedicated in the service of others, Nursing is basically a calling to serve and give care to others especially in times of great need such as during sickness and old age. Once regarded as a vocation rather than a profession, Nursing involves the willingness to [...]
