Ayoko na mag Nurse, galit na silang lahat sa akin. :( Help naman mga sis...

[tinkypink011]

Hi mga sis! I am a registered nurse ang graduated way back 2008. Ngayon pa lang ako nakapag simula to undergo nurse trainee sa hospital. I feel na hindi kona gusto maging nurse. Parang I feel I am not fit to be a nurse, marami na akong nakakalimutan and I feel I am no longer happy to be a nurse. Pero my dream before was to be a nurse and to work abroad. Pero ngayon, nag bago na lahat. I have seen kasi na my mga nurse [textspeak!] na hindi marunong when my dad was confined who passed away this year rin... Kung hindi rin lang naman ako magaling, ayoko maging nurse. Coz for you be a nurse, you have to be skilled, competent and compassionate health professional. Gusto ko na ngayon maging preschool teacher...

So I told my aunt who helped sa pang gastos para maka tapos ako. Marami na siyang tanong at disappointed. Waste of time and money lang daw... Sana noon kopa naisip na iba pala gusto ko... Galit na silang lahat sa akin and they are all disappointed... I told them naman na I can be successful sa ibang bagay, not just being a nurse, diba mga sis? I hope someone can give me advice at para ma enlighten din ako mga sis... Thank you!

[milkeeway]

hi sis tinkypink011, ang hirap nga nyan. kasi tita mo pala nagpaaral sayo. actually, kung nakatraining ka ngayon, pwede mo naman pag-aralan uli para marefresh yung inaral mo dati. ako din since i graduated, di pa ko nakapagwork sa hospital, pero phlebo nurse ako ngayon, nakakatakot magtry kasi buhay ng tao hawak mo, mamali ka lang sa gamot, lagot na, hehe, kaya mo yan, tuloy mo lang, nakakapanibago lang kasi tagal mo din huminto, pero matututunan mo din lahat yan.

[PinKisH_23]

Sis my sister is a registered nurse din, pero pa graduate na sya when she realized she didn't want to be one. In fact, it took her 3 takes sa board bago makapasa. My parents were devastated at first kasi nga magastos but when my sister had a hard time looking for work, okay narin na sa call center na sya nagwowork ngayon. Kesa naman wala syang trabaho at di nya gusto ang ginagawa nya. It's just a matter of acceptance, it might take some time pero I'm sure magiging okay din kayo. Pray for guidance sis.

 thanks sis ha. oo nga un din sabi ko sa sarili ko.. tatapusin ko muna [textspeak!] training ko for 3 months and then I will decide. I am still praying kasi tama rin, sabi nga ng dad ko, hindi ako aabot ngayon if wlang plano si God for me. Haay...

oo sis, na try ko na rin mag call center.. though I am earning pero feeling ko [textspeak!] ako papatunguhan... Mahirap kasi naman [textspeak!] makahanap work esp if alam nila na nurse ka.

[milkeeway]

yes. pareho kasi tayo sis, since lumipas na yung taon na di nakapagwork sa hospital, andun yung tatamarin ka na mag nurse, mas may dating pa nga sakin office work eh, hehe, pero its all in the mind, pag inisip mo na magiging ok, it will happen.

 i agree sis.. dapat maging optimistic lang lagi staff kana ngayon sis?

[babyjapnurse01]

Tinkypink :

    Is it possible na yung compensation ng hospital contributes sa pagka-walang gana mo sa pagwowork as nurse? Majority ng mga kakilala ko who experienced being volunteers and trainees sa hospitals nawalan ng gana because its either sila ang nagbabayad or kung may allowance man, sobrang liit din.

If being a nurse is not what you really want to do, tell you aunt about it sis, and make sure you find a way para maka-bawi, kasi syempre di naman biro yung ginastos nila for tuition and all. Basta do your best nalang sis kung anong work man ang gusto mo talagang gawin, and make sure nalang siguro na gusto mo na talaga yung kukunin mong work para mag-excel ka and wala na masabi sayo yung aunt mo.

Masasabi ko kasi na during these times, mahirap kasi na hindi magkapractical.  May friend ako, lagi nalang nagsh-shift kasi nad-discover nya na "hindi para sa kanya" ang tinahak nyang daan.  Then ngayon 30s na kami, she is still not sure what she wants to do.  So ang point ko lang, utilize what you have right now but that does not mean you will stop to dream.

Kung anong meron ka ngayon, utilize it, para naman hindi masayang ang panahon at pera na ginugol mo sa nursing.  Then on the side, try to accomplish whatever dream that is.  Kasi ito ang question ko sa iyo - what if, nag-aral ka maging teacher. Then pagka graduate mo, feeling mo hindi na naman sya para sa iyo?  At this point, it is a remote idea, right? Because you feel strongly for it, NOW.  Pero hindi natin masabi ang panahon, just like how you are feeling now regarding nursing.  I bet hindi mo naman siguro naisip na hahantong ka sa ganitong sitwasyon when you started to study nursing, otherwise, hindi mo na ito pinursue.

Para sakin there's no such thing as a perfect job. Lahat naman yan may ups and downs.  Pero there are some things in each job that can make us fulfilled.  Try to find that muna sa nursing and do not think of all the negative things about it.  Try to find something positive about it, andyan ka na, panindigan mo nalang. And ultimately, while doing so, it builds character, try mo galingan, kasi kahit san profession ka man mapunta, ang importante talaga is ang diskarte and how you are able to solve challenges.

Now, about being a teacher, you can still pursue this if you really want to.  Di ko lam kung you can take classes after your nursing shifts or wkends.  Puede ipagsabay - that is, if your heart is really into it.  But you have to do it on your own - just to prove that you really want it.  Hindi puedeng aasa ka na naman sa tita mo, kasi unfair naman ito sa kanya.

so ang payo ko, bottomline, hang in there - BUT think of the positive things around it.  Pag-isipan mo mabuti if you really want to be a teacher - and pursue it on the side while being a nurse.  Nothing wrong in being a teacher nurse!!! 

[maika14]

Tama si Sis Blooming on all accounts.

If you will see it in a different light, may magagawa ka naman talaga. I have co-workers who are taking weekend classes in some universities to take educ units. As far as I remember, 18 units lang ang hahabulin ng licensed nurses (and other degree holder ata, can't be sure) for us to be qualified for the LET. Other universities, nasa 24 units ata. See? Konting tyaga lang kung gusto mo talagang maging teacher.. Either way, we touch someone else's life. In nursing or in teaching. Vocation yan eh. We know, mahirap sila pareho. If you have the heart, pursue it.

I was not practicing nursing for almost 3 years. Nag renew na ako ng lisensya and all pero 3-mos training lang ang nagawa ko sa first 3 years ng nursing life ko. Saklap noh? Nag office work ako, pero hindi ko talaga gusto. Bumalik talaga ako sa nursing. Ang sahod ko ngayon wala pa sa kalahati nung salary ko nung nasa opisina ako. Masaya ba ako? I guess. Kasi bago ako maging regular, nag training muna ako. Tapos nag volunteer. Same hospital pareho. Nung makita nila na hindi ko tatantanan, when someone resigned in one area, ginawa na akong staff. Ang kulit-kulit lang.

Sikap at tyaga lang talaga. May mga nurse specialist sa bawat hospital. May NICU nurse, may MS Ward nurse, may ICU nurse etc. etc. Pano ba nila nagawa yun?

Walang bad decision Sis Tinkypink. Ikaw ang pumili nun eh. Eh di ibig sabihin, wrong judgement kana agad? Mano kung nag suggest yung relatives mo na mag nursing ka? Hindi naman sila yung nagpakahirap sa pag aaral. Mahirap kaya ang nursing. Ang point ko lang, make do with what you have. Right now, nurse ka. Stick with it for a while. Malay mo, bumalik yung passion mo just like what you felt when you were still studying NCM 100-105?

Hindi natin makukuha ang gusto natin basta basta. Parang halaman lang yan. Minsan kelangan nating mag invest ng time and energy for it to grow. Maybe, after 2 years of nursing, maka pag abroad kana din? Yun lang, kailangan mo talagang tyagain. Hindi pwedeng gusto mo, now na? Hindi ganun sis. Tayong mga nurse, patients din tayo. Kailangan ng madaming patience. Hehe

[tinkypink011]

thanks mga sis... abah.. napaisip ako

Masasabi ko kasi na during these times, mahirap kasi na hindi magkapractical.  May friend ako, lagi nalang nagsh-shift kasi nad-discover nya na "hindi para sa kanya" ang tinahak nyang daan.  Then ngayon 30s na kami, she is still not sure what she wants to do.  So ang point ko lang, utilize what you have right now but that does not mean you will stop to dream.

 thanks [textspeak!] sis.. parang ate ka mag advice at si sis maika14 i will take all your advice..tama naman lahat na mga sinabi niyo

[justin3]

^i'm sorry to hear about your dad. condolence sis.

"look for a job you'll love and you'll never work a day in your life"

but first, make peace, iron everything with your aunt (at sa lahat ng kontrabida sa buhay mo)  
how? kausapin mo si auntie ng masinsinan. sa tono ng kwento mo, talagang disappointed sya sa yo. pero pasasaan ba yan? lahat nadadaan sa mabuting usapan.
di naman ibang tao sya sa buhay mo. magpakumbaba ka, let her understand, say sorry if you have to. di ka naman itakwil nun, mauunawaan ka rin nyan.

just don't disappoint her again, like, baka sa sunod na linggo ayaw mo na mag titser, gusto mo naman maging drayber, embalmer, arkitek o astronaut, o di kaya magpaligaw at makipagtanan sa tambay sa kanto.

follow your heart sis.

Goodluck to you Teacher Tinky!

[angel_babyteen]

Di mo rin masisi tita mo sis,mahirap magpaaral,lalo nursing,magastos na course,di mo rin alam ano sinacrifice nila para mapagtapos ka lang,be grateful na lang,madaming hindi nakakapag tap0s ng college,do your part na lang para mapabuti ang future mo or study ka ulit pero dont expect help from your tita siguro.

[milkeeway]

i agree sis.. dapat maging optimistic lang lagi staff kana ngayon sis?

hindi pa sis, pero di din ako nagwowork sa ibang field. hehe, nakavolunteer ako ngayon as phlebotomist. every Saturday lang yun, so far wala pa naman akong sablay sa pagbibleed, hehe, sa una andun talaga yung takot na baka di mo na kaya, pero sa ngayon super enjoy ako magphlebo, kaya if ever maghospital ako, dedma lang sa doubts at fears. kaya natin yan sis! nakapasa ka eh! sa apat na taon at sa board exam.

[thebratinella]

My brother is a registered nurse but hasn't practiced his profession since he graduated. Mahirap din kasi makapasok sa hospitals and mababa ang compensation. He has an online job right now but I tell him to look for what would make him happy. At first, we told him to apply until we realized that we shouldn't pressure him too much. Nakikita din kasi namin yung hirap to apply for nursing jobs. Basta masaya siya and he earns money for his needs, okay na. Just get a job you like and take units in Education. In time, your family would see how happy you are with your choices. Try to deal with things by yourself so they'll see how you strive to be good at your chosen career. You may not end up as a successful nurse but would become a very good teacher naman. Make sure that you really want to be a teacher though. Can you see yourself teaching even after 20 years? You need to be sure so your family won't end up saying I told you so in the end. I hope things would turn out fine for you. Ang daming nurses nowadays who have jobs outside of their profession because of the scarcity of hospital jobs while others pursued their interests in other fields. Mom ko din disappointed kasi ang hirap to land a nursing job but she got over it. Hindi mo rin masisisi aunt mo kasi mahal talaga ang course mo.

[showermist]

TS, ako nagpa-aral at nagpapaaral pa ako ng nurse/nursing. Sa laki ng ginastos ko sa kanila, I would be VERY VERY disappointed if sasabihin nila sa akin na ayaw  nilang magwork as a nurse. Pero syempre wala akong magagawa. Desisyon nila yun. Buhay nila yun. Kahit pa magngitngit ako ng todo. (Thank God, gusto naman nilang mag-nurse.)

Kahit pa mamuhi ako sa kanila ng todo na gaya ng sitwasyon mo ngayon where you feel that everybody is mad about your decision, alam ko pa rin at siguro alam din ng nag pa aral sa iyo na buhay mo yan.  Nakatulong na, tama na yun. 

One way para maibsan naman yung galit nila sa iyo, lalo na yung nagpa aral sa iyo eh ipakita mong kahit hindi ka magnurse, kaya mo namang maging successful sa ibang career. Ipakita mo rin naman yung effort mo. At ipakita mo pa ring you are very grateful sa tulong na binigay nung nagpa-aral sa iyo. Lambingin mo na lang. Tinulungan ka para sa ikabubuti mo at para siguro sa pamilya mo.

Kung hindi naman kayo mayaman, at inaasahan ka nilang tumulong rin--help in anyway you can.

Isipin mo, ang perang binigay sa iyo ng tyahin mo para sa pag aaral mo eh pinaghirapan din nya. Ang hirap kayang kitain ang pera. Lalo na ang laki ng gastusin ng nursing student. So intindihin mo ang galit ng tyahin mo.  Lilipas din naman yun.

[Purple_Power]

I can't really blame your Aunt, dahil pinaghirapan niya rin yung pinaggastusan niya tapos biglang magbabago ang isip mo. Tama rin ang sinabi niya na sana noon pa lang pinag-isipan mo na yan at alam mo kung ano ang responsibilidad mo bilang nurse. Pag-isipan mo mabuti kung ano ba talaga ang gusto mo at kaya mo. Kung pre-school teacher o pagpatuloy ang pag-nurse. Huwag mong pagbasihan sa ibang mga hindi marunong na nurse kung ano ang nangyari sa dad mo. If you see them na ganun ang nangyari sa mga nurse na yun then I think ibahin mo ang sarili mo sa mga incompetent nurse na nakita mo. Itatatak mo sa isip mo na hindi ka tutulad sa kanila at mas magiging mahusay ka. But then it is still your decision.

[craziestqueenever]

I'm not the thread starter, but I find this discussion very helpful. I've been thinking to switch course. I'm afraid na pag sinabi ko ito sa kamag-anak ko masasaktan sila. Hindi lang isa ang nagpa-aral sa akin kundi tatlo o apat ko na mga relatives. The danger of being a Nurse is that you deal with life and that's what am I afraid of, tapos andami nating mga nurses na nagpapaagaw agaw sa experience. 

[joanniekiko]

NO to NURSING COURSE, such a waste of time and money. NO WORK, and worst WORK for FREE   

[thebratinella]

^sis! correct ka diyan. kaya brother ko hindi namin pinipilit magwork sa hospital kasi alam namin yung situation. kahit sa dlsu ang dami nila nag-apply pero training pa lang ibang friends niya. naiintindihan ko bakit yung ibang nurses nagquit na. grabe yung work tapos ang liit ng salary. sa isang hospital nga in cavite yung friend namin volunteer status pa rin after a year. my brother plans to study medicine next year. support na lang namin kung yun talaga gusto niya.

[joanniekiko]

^ sinabi mo pa sis, and hinde naman counted ang volunteer unless payag yung hospital na bigyan cia ng certificate of employment, dapat baguhin ng government ang law, as in strictly "NO VOLUNTEER or TRAINING" or if sana counted and accepted na yun as experience sana para naman hinde sayang time ang pagod. I hope matauhan na mga parents and students na wag na nila ituloy ang nursing course nila,  imagine na lang yung mga things na bibilin during schooling like book, paraphernalias, review center after graduation, hirap ng pag review and more...plus possible na makuha na sakit during RLE. For me, don't take nursing course talaga. San na work brother mo ngayon sis?
