Work work , where are you?? _passer since 2007

World Philippines

Published

:pi am a board passer since june 2007, after having my prc id, ivt bls, i started applying to different institutions and after almost 3 years i still dont have work. my batchmates have work now, most of them went to middle east and some are working to different hospitals in manila.

me, i have nothing to do so i decided to take other exams. after passing my nclex and ielts, up to now i was not able to found a hospital where i can apply my nursing skills and to have a hospital experience.

i am just disappointed for i have so many applications to hospitals here in the philippines i was not even hired or even called for training. :mad:

early 2008, i took the initial exam from a hospital in quezon city, but i did not make it. :crying2:

mid 2008, after passing the initial exam from a hospital in san juan, i was not even called back, and as i inquire to the hospital on why they are not calling me for the next step of their application process, they simply said that they changed their management and encouraged me to reapply again. :eek:

last year, 2009 i was called by a reputable hospital and passed all their series of exams , and unlucky iam, i did not passed the final interview. :crying2:

i was so devastated for it was what i have been waiting for, then i just let it slipped away.

it seems that i am very hopeless and i find myself too lazy to try or apply again because of my bad experience.

after months of contemplating, i was uplifted from a video of a man named nick vujicic,

and here is what he said:

"there is some times in our life that we fall down and feels there is no way to get back up

if you feel that it is imposible to get back up.... it is not

i will try a hundred times to get up

and if i fail and i give up

do you think i will gonna get up.... no

but if i fail and try again and again and again and again...

i just want you to know that it was not the end

it matters on how will you gonna finish.. are you gonna finish strong or what?

and i find that strength to get back up. and i ewas encouraged to apply again.

afterwards, i started applying again to some hospitals where i applied before.. most of them told me that they are freeze hiring, others just accept my resume or logged on to their log book for their future references.it is just the same scenario like before. :p

but still i have a positive outook in my career and i will try again and again and again until i was able to reach my goal...:lol2:

a person can only be considered as a failure until he stops to try again....

don't give up..

hmm.. I can relate to you guys.. I've been a graduate since 2008.. I already passed my nclex and ielts but due to retrogression here i am.. still here in the philippines and looking for a job.. Most of the time I feel sad with what's happening to my career.. but like what you guys have said we should never give up

You're blessed and lucky, coz you just passed just recently(2008),compared to me I passed the board last 2007 but until now I don't have hospital experience..You're lucky that you have money and you can do whatever you want to do..you can undergo different seminars and trainings that you want that's related to nursing profession. Wherein that trainings and seminars will serves as an additional to your knowledge and skills and also would be your edge among others..How I wish, that God will give me a career,which is being a NURSE..

...they should hire volunteer nurses, most specially government hospital, it can help in 1:1, 1:5 nurse client ratio. i guess its possible. they are just to lazy to think off. ;l

God bless u all.

Just keep on hospital hopping and of course PRAY... as the motto written on the wall along Caloocan "PRAY HARD IT WORKS..-recom echiverri" haha

Sure, that's what I'm doing...God willing..

same here,,,,, i already give up and trying to regain confidence in finding a nursing carrer

God has a purpose for us. He has a plan for us.. Just apply and apply, and I'm sure your sacrifices and efforts will arrive or land to a better job..

yeah.keep your spirit up!though i admit i also feel down at times because i havent got a work since i passed the nle june of last year, ive got no reason to give up.there will always be something good for us.it may not be given now, but just keep on trying. :)

Hello Fellow Nurses...Gooday!

I agree with all your sentiments..I am one of you who struggled in this nursing career..I am a 2006 passer, took and passed IELTS 2007 and tried NCLEX 2007 but i failed..:sniff: I got my 3 months volunteer training 2008 and Now in a volunteer program again here in province.

I just want to share with you about volunteer program here in province...I got all my trainings because I paid for it... Hospitals here took all their advantages to nurses by making money out of it..they make it a business because of demand for works.. I paid, I give my service and I handle all expenses for this volunteer program...But hospital took advantages not to hire employees because of volunteer program they had..they got a income almost 150thou/ batch.. we are 7 batches and each batch composed of 60 Volunteer nurse (VN)...More money and more income for hospital...They only have single staff and volunteer nurse for more than 13 patients..VN will handle all the medication...VN should assist the staff but sad to say we are not trained properly but only our guts do the responsibilities...sometimes they pull-out us in ICU without proper training..the responsibilities is in our hand and our license is at risk...Hospitals management always think for money to save but never mind their volunteers.. so will end up with medication error and mistakes... Exploitation for nurses here is in demand.. We are obliged to do the works of their employees...sometimes staff and they health aid, just sleep and watch TV even they paid...grrrgrrr:madface: we took their works...they never hear our voices, sentiments are not heard and we don't have the rights to say no...next thing, they don't hire you after your 3 months of training, but rather we need to pay again again and again for reapplication...in the end, we will forever volunteer nurses and never be hired...

I'm disappointed and so sad with this flows of career.:sniff:.I always hope and pray that our government will make actions towards nursing career.. that they will make a LAW or Bill against hospitals who took advantages for nurses...

To all nurses, we are not quitter..we will not quit because we believe that it is in our hearts to served mankind.. To give the best nursing care ever... We will took the risk i order to save one soul or our patients... So be proud of it..And Iam really proud because I am a effective and efficient nurse...u :nurse:
