Thanks TopRank!
This past few months was crazy! I am so happy to finally have some time to blog (and breathe)! I have so much to share!
It was December 2014, when I realized that it seems like I have been working for so long but I am not satisfied with what career I am having for the past years. I know I am getting stable already with regard to my current work but I have been thinking what If I go back with my real profession - as a nurse.
Many "what if's" has been bothering me:
What if I stop working & enroll in a review school? What if I fail? What if....
I am a retaker, I admit. I wasn't able to pass my first board exam. I venture myself persuing the other side of me, which is the passion for business. I'd love to, but I felt like it was not yet the right time. I felt no progress for my career & I felt like I want to be a Professional, ASAP!
So... I enrolled myself at Toprank Review Academy at the branch near my location which is the Marikina branch. My savings won't last that long, that's why my mom helped me when it comes to financial concerns. (Thanks Ma!)
There comes the Intensive part of the review, when we got new classmates added to Marikina branch. I met; Isha, Janna, Kath, Chona & Step - they became my new set of friends. We all became close & at the same time, God fearing. We celebrate positivity & we pray together.
On the Final Coaching Grand Day, they have this Wish-upon-a-balloon activity. I wrote all my wishes & desires on my balloon, I wrote that this will be my last take, and of course, TO GOD BE THE GLORY. The activity was very emotional.
I danced! I also lead the cheer! The last time I did those things way back when I was still in high school. When dancing & cheering competitions was my life. I was so happy being part of this stress-relieving activity.
So during the review days, I was so scared to the fact that I will be reviewing my Nursing books & reviewers in a span of 3 months. I have this feeling that this short-term review might be a factor of failing once more. I was really scared.
This change of plans for my future was never easy. I thought about it a million times whether to take or not to take the Nursing Licensure Exam. I was so scared of what my friends, relatives & other people will say about me. But what pushed me was, what will others say when I proved them wrong. Not only that, I wanted to be a life saver. I want to touch the lives of others, by bringing them back to life. I will be there at their side, encouraging them how wonderful & colorful the world is. I want to be like that kind of person, not only to others but also to my family, especially my mom.
From one of the books I downloaded with the help of nursing community on Facebook.
Basic. The most important thing that a nurse should know by heart. One cannot do their duty if he or she doesn't have a good foundation skills and knowledge.
Right now, I am reading notes and topics that I know I am quite unfamiliar with. It's going to be a long shot and the journey on getting my license is difficult but I don't care for I am fully decided on getting my goal.
Honeybunch, you may not know this blog yet but I want you to know that this is for you and Crisza. I have never been this determined and focus on reaching this dream. I love you both. My life, my everything.
These are the books I was and able to gather from fellow nurses.
I told him about the NLE next year. I told him I wanted to get my license. I told him I was scared to tell him about it. I told him my reasons why I wanted to take the exams.
All he said was “Sige Honey, kunin mo na yung lisensya mo. Tagal tagal na noon doon eh.”
And I’m very happy knowing he’ll support me until the end. Though he jokingly said that in one week I'll change my mind because I have a fickle mind. He still believes in me. I know as I look in his beautiful eyes. I'm very blessed for having you honey. You always have faith in me. I love you.
Any action plans?
In order for me to get my license I need to make some changes in planning. There are practices that I need to undo and unlearn because of one thing, those practices didn't worked before so I need to have new plans.
Here are some of the things that I believe will be helpful to me.
•Timetable - And I better follow the topics on it.
•Mnemonic - whether I make my own or the one we have during lectures
•Flashcard - I'll make it colorful and easy to understand
•Audiorecordings - I can use this while resting or sleeping
•Q&A - Saunders and other books that also have rationalization; got to answer every after chapter that I finish
Hopefully, I'll be able to find buddies here or online to share knowledge or information and updates.
