I cannot think of any other job other than being a NURSE. Nursing had become my passion. It is the job and the profession I wanted to be in. This is the profession I envisioned myself doing and sustaining the needs of my psyche sister and my old parents.
I am a registered nurse since 2012 under the jurisdiction of my country, Philippines. I studied my lessons very well and managed to land a rank in the list of students who passed their nursing exams in college and after graduation, took the licensure exam for nurses and FINALLY! I am a well pledged nurse.
I thought after that I could fulfill my dreams of becoming a doctor. Sadly, that didnt happen. I have plenty of brothers and sisters. We are 8 siblings in the family. The eldest, whom is my stepbrother is the breadwinner of our family and was also the one who told me that he will finance my dream of becoming a doctor. Due to series of miscommunication in the family that resulted to;I might as well say destroyed our relationships; us being aloof to each other and yes! Me becoming a doctor is no longer in the equation. Thus, I cannot study to become a doctor... sigh... :(
The only option I've got is to make use of what I had studied and that is Nursing. I passed my resume and other credentials to plenty of government hospitals so as private owned companies and hospitals, but none replied. These series of events continued from 2012 to present, 2014. I did managed to get employed but only for three months and that isn't enough to sustain the financial needs of our family. I asked myself and often times review my resume and try to look where are the flaws why i cant get accepted in any institution I applied.
I was very happy when I got to see how high my grades are so as my nursing licensure board rating. I told myself "Alright I am fine now. With these I could get a job". Sadly and as what reality told me, you dont need those. Its just useless. Numbers will only be numbers and that's that. In my country, Philippines, you will get hired not on what you know but who you know and Im talking here ONLY in the HEALTH sector. There really isn't the so called HIRING PROCESS. there's no such thing. You can get employed in the hospital even if you didn't have any license to practice nursing, even if your grades in nursing college are very low. even if you are inexperienced you will get promoted. All I can say is WHY?
I wanted to get employed as a nurse in hospitals but I cant get employed. Why?
No words can even describe how sad I am for not being able to practice what I learned, sustain the needs of my family and most of all, for not being able to materialise the dream that I envisioned myself... to be a doctor and be an employed Nurse.
:( sigh...
