Work work , where are you?? _passer since 2007

World Philippines

: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....

you better review any NCLEX Comprehensive books..! and always read the rationales.. Practice answering the KAPLAN CD that can be install to your PC. I also used the book PRIORITIZATION, DELEGATION AND ASSIGNMENT by Linda La Charity..

You may also want to try SAUNDERS. A lot of us used it. The subjects are divided by topics and it gives you a graph of the exams (by topics) you've done with grades. That way, you'll know which topics you should concentrate on and or good at. :p

well, we all share the same sentiment, experience, and frustrations as well.. that after passing the local board exam and other foreign nursing exams, after attending every seminar and training there is, after being fed up to the so-called volunteerism in hospitals, and after the never-ending job searching, still all of these were futile.. we still belong to the roster of unemployed nurses.

we should not give up, instead let us persevere more. giving up should never cross our mind. hardwork, perseverance and determination will lead us through our goal.

let me share this text message i received from a friend:

"nothing in this life is ever easy. sometimes, even after doing our very best, still we end up pretty short.

but always remember, effort only releases its full rewards after one refuses to give up."
