It's actually more of a big question in my life...like did i just waste my time and my parents' money in nursing school? Well, I know there must be a good reason why I got my diploma and license. Hopefully soon everything will fall into place. I really need to learn to trust myself. Thank you!!! May God bless you wherever you are!

hi MikeeMikes26, thanks for the advice. The problem is I'm not confident with my nursing skills anymore. Nursing is my biggest fear, probably due to traumatic experiences, nursing school wasn't fun for me. It's like I need to do it because I am supposed to (go abroad like everyone else) and it won't be a happy place for me, that's for sure... I know I'm not ready to give up my job (which I love), face my fears and risk everything.

Thanks, caliotter3!

Thank you so much, dodoy. I appreciate it!

Taking up nursing was not my choice. I don't want to put the blame on someone else now. I have studied hard to finish what I've started. So I got my license in 2010 - I never practiced my profession and that was my choice. I've been in the call center industry for quite some time and now a virtual assistant for almost 3 years. I am earning like 3 times more than what nurses get and it's a home based job which is I guess perfect for introverts like me. But the idea of practicing my profession still haunts me...the what if thoughts every now and then especially when I see my former classmates in FB now working abroad. It's tough cause I don't even know if I can survive nursing. I don't even know how to start. I am considering to undergo training particulary in OB. Do you guys know if PRC still allows the nurse-midwife board? If not, then maybe a hemodialysis training would work for me. I am so clueless right now. Any advice?

I'm on the same boat..RN planning to grab the PCT post just to land a job/gain experience/be promoted as RN II..
