Hi nurses! Here’s something to rouse your consciousness. Late last year I was luckily hired by an institution. Before I began my probationary training in the hospital, I was made to read a considerably long list of measures and guidelines to assure the safety of the patient as well as mine. But when I started [...]
Getting Ready

Reviewing for the NCLEX and taking the exam, I guess, will give us the chance to use our time well while waiting for a good fortune to strike instead of staying home and becoming unproductive. If the hands of fate will lead the United States of America to loosening the chains that’s been keeping [...]
Sudden Disillusionment

Every year, the Philippines produces thousands of nurses. Nevertheless, our country could not provide jobs for these professionals. Being a nurse is not an easy job as they think. It takes a lot of hard work and patience to reach our dreams and to become a productive citizen of this country. Most of the time, [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

It’s just like a few months ago when I was greeting everyone a happy new year and now some are already greeting me an advance merry Christmas. Sometimes we tend to care less of time and later on realize that the year is coming close to its end. It’s the “ber” months once again and [...]
Their US Working Visas

The other day I was flabbergasted learning that my colleague together with 18 other nurses are scheduled to fly to the US in the next two weeks. Just as I thought that the hiring of foreign nurses in the US has been stopped; their working visa applications has been approved. I really regretted it ’cause [...]

I don’t know if nurses in the Philippines notice this but it has already been existent in the clinical system of the country for quite some time.
