2015: I became an RN and a Call Center Agent

I hope that when there'll come a time that I'll return, I will still be a competent nurse.

Board Exam, the day we've been preparing for several months in a review center, several years in a Nursing School, and uncountable years in God's plan. Thousands have tried, thousands have passed, and thousnads have failed.

I am very thankful that I'm one of the passers. I set up my expectation to getting 100% (no kidding) because I've been told by a wise man, a remarkable lecturer this quote: "Don't aim for the Tree, Aim for the stars. Because when you fall, you'll fall on the tree, and not on the ground." And really it happened. I got an 83.8!

It was a dream come true indeed. I was in cloud 9! I am finally registered!

I was too excited to work as a full-pledged nurse that I sought for nursing jobs immediately after I got my ID card. I even accepted a nursing job which only pays 500 pesos for 24 hours, and used this handful of savings to earn my IV Therapy certification. I even worked in a District hospital without any compensation. That is how thrilled I am to use my license into practice. However, days pass by when I became demotivated. My body has been worned out, My family is not that rich to sustain my training fees. I stopped, and looked for a job online to help my family. There I was hired as a call center agent. It's been 6 months now that I'm working on a fixed graveyard shift. And it's been 6 months now that I shifted from my nursing career. But it makes me sad to think that I still don't have that money to go back and seems so faraway from my first and forever love that is Nursing. I hope that when there'll come a time that I'll return, I will still be a competent nurse.
