Re: NURSING jobs
As much as I would want to agree with you there my friend, an empty wallet and a mailbox full of utility bills are one of the major concerns that I think not only I face. In reality I would love to practice my profession given the opportunity,really I would, but being a volunteer nurse, noble as it is, doesn't put food on the plate nor does it pay the bills and slaving for six months without pay is not even an option for an average person, maybe for someone who lives close to home with people supporting them financially, it can be done, but often times these nurses need to travel far from home to just even get a volunteer job in a hospital.
Sad really, many are still deluded with the idea that Nursing is the course to take if you want to get rich, yeah maybe it is if you live outside the philippines, but here there's an oversupply of nurses which the government can't even handle all because they are all to busy squabbling among themselves to be in perpetual power, leaving the rest to find a way to survive or otherwise rot and die.
So to you I say yes, it is sad and profoundly wrong for a nurse who studied for 4 years and even up to now, with all the trainings that cost an arm and a leg, to abandon this profession even temporarily while searching for greener pastures, but during these hard times, where else do you go to?
