Still Want Nursing?

Still Want Nursing?

Yes? No? Maybe? I don't know? No comment?...These are some of the common answers every time nursing comes into the topic. I'm a registered nurse, with lots of experience when it comes to training and seminars but when it comes to job experience related to nursing? Zero! I've passed the board exam, took IV Training, participate in seminars but where am I now? At home, waiting for a miracle to come. 

Sometimes I wonder why did I chose nursing when in fact there's a lot of other courses offered out there. Some thing that I really love to do. Maybe because of the influence of my parents and peers. Maybe due to the fact that nursing is in demand in other countries. Maybe because I want to help my parents. Maybe because I want to earn. But where am I? Doing this blog so that someone can here me out. Releasing all my agony, depression and loneliness. 

After all the hardships I did, this is all I've got - still a dependent to my parents. I studied hard because I thought that's the main qualification to get the job, but I was wrong. There are many unrighteous ways to get a job. Most of the time, it rules specially on provincial areas and even in the most respected hospitals. One of the most common unjust ways to get the job is... "I depends on the people you know"! "Backer system" meaning someone with a high power or authority will be the one who will help you get in. True right? Politics!

Even though how good your grades are, you're nothing without a "backer"! For instance, my schoolmate in college, I know him for being one of the "below average" nursing student ever, but where is him? In an expensive and well-known private hospital in our province. Do you know why? Because his uncle is luckily a private consultant  in that hospital. Shocking right? But it's true.

Second, it depends on the school where you came from. If you graduated from a renounced and respected school, you are lucky because most of the time, they prefer them instead of you... from the province! If you will examine, that's unfair. It should be based on the potential of an individual, not of the school! It can be called "favoritism" and "discimination" . F.Y.I., not all of those who studied and graduated in famous schools are intelligent and potent right? They are just lucky that they have money to afford that kind of school!

Lastly, speaking of money, some hospitals, companies and institutions allows bribing secretly. Of course they will deny it but it's happening! There's more than meets the eye. So if do not have money, I'm sorry for you. You are looking for money, but they need it first before you! So where are you, when you don't have the school, the money and the politics to help you get the job? At home? In a call center company? At the mall offering goods?  Or having a small business? Where's the "nursing" there? This is not I or anyone would want to be, but do we have a choice? As yourself because I really don't know the answer too.

To those nursing students out there, I feel pity on you because you don't know the dilemma you put yourself into! Every year, there are thousands of nurses who pass the board exam yet there's so little number of hospitals present and existing, so where will you be? My advice - just ready your self to what ever it takes.

So do you still want nursing? Maybe, but if you have the guts....
