It's National Nurses Week!

(Plus, my book is on SALE!) And so we are subjected to several interviews (CBC Ontario This Morning, for example) with people who have no idea what nursing is. This morning a very patient nurse practitioner had to explain multiple times what a nurse PRACTITIONER does as vs. a regular nurse. Their expanded role is essential to the provision of primary health care, and they and other specialist…

Canada’s History of Racism and Discrimination of Nurses

“During the coronavirus pandemic, nurses are among the nation’s front-line workers. Over the years and to this day, the contributions of Black nurses are hard-fought, unrecognized and under-appreciated. Nurses are essential in care delivery, policy directives and in shaping the health-care system. The year 2020 is the year of the nurse and midwife. Yet, Canada’s history of racism and segregation has contributed to residual anti-Black racism that remains present in Canadian nursing.”

“In Canada, the first nursing training facility opened in 1874 in Ontario. The first baccalaureate nursing program started in 1919 at the University of British Columbia. ... Black folks were not permitted to attend nursing programs. Instead, prospective Black nurses in Canada were told to go to the United States. American schools began allowing Black folks into nursing in the 1870s while Canada continued to restrict admissions to Black folks until the 1940s, granting admission only after pressure from community groups and organizations.”

“Overall, Black nurses are largely absent from leadership positions and specialty practice areas such as intensive care. Instead, Black nurses are often streamlined into areas that are more physically demanding and strenuous. At the same time, Black people are concentrated in entry-level positions, non-specialty roles or in non-licensed clinical roles such as personal care workers. ... Despite the persistence of anti-Blackness in society, nursing education and health care, Black nurses continue to provide care. Now, more than ever, we must recognize and celebrate their contributions.”

Here in Ontario Canada where I live and reside Nursing week has started off on a very bad note,with in fighting. Unique to Canada the nursing title is broken up into two roles: registered practical nurse (RPN or LPN) and registered nurse (RN). As an RPN nothing is worse than to recognize how much effort goes into denying me ( and all RPNs) the right to use the title nurse.

Tips sa paghahanap ng trabahong pang NURSE sa Pinas

-10:03 am 30-4-14

1. Gumising ka sa katotohanang hindi lang ikaw ang nurse sa Pilipinas na walang trabaho. Marami tayo.

2. Gumawa ng plano kung pano magkakatrabaho. Ang pagsabing magaapply ako bukas ay hindi absolute. Gumawa ng career plan, refine, and research.

3. Wag maging choosy,pero wag maging biktima. Ang pagtatrabaho ng walang sahod ay katangahan. Pero kung anak mayaman, at kayang sikmurahin ang kalokohan ng sistema ng pagpapasahod sa nurse, aba e suportahan mo ang ANG NARS.

4. Don’t undervalue yourself. Wag ring mayabang.

5. Gumawa ng EPIC na resume. Hindi ka magaapply bilang tindero ng balut. Nurse ka. Gawin mong matino, malinis, maganda, at honest.

6. Know the competition. Marami kayong walang trabaho simula ng nauso ang nursing.

7. Invest in yourself. Be competitive. Isipin mo ang mga badge ni Russell sa pelikulang UP at ihalintulad ito sa credentials ng iba pang naghahanap ng trabaho. Kumpara mo ngayon sa sarili mo. Anong sey ng Elli badge mo sa badges ni taba?

8. Magbaon ng Confidence sa tunay na buhay. Walang mapapala ang pagdadrama mo sa facebook.

9. Walang mapapala ang pagdadrama mo sa facebook. Inulit ko para maalala mo na ang facebook ay counterproductive.

10. Gamitin ang facebook sa pag build ng connections. Sumali sa iba’t ibang nurse groups. Dito ka makakapick up ng tips, insights, at kadramahan ng kapwa mo nurse.

11. Do your research. Mula Presidente hanggang sa low level manager ng institution kelangan kilala mo by face and by name. Pati pangalan ng anak, alumni, mainam na alam mo. Para pag may chance encounter ka sa isang Chief Nurse na naka sando shorts habang bumibili ng kape sa Puregold, pwede mong I chat up.

12. Magbaon ng resume. You’ll never know. Kung dumating ang pagkakataon na mabangga ka ng kotse Presidente ng ospital mag inarte ng kaunti at sabihing nais mong maging nurse. Pano mo gagawin yun kung wala kang resume?

13. Broaden your horizon. Lingid sa iyong kaalaman, hindi lang Maynila ang may ospital. At lingid din sa iyong kaalaman, ang maynila at mga karatig lungsod ay ang may pinakamaraming opisina ng call center.

I consider ang ibang propesyon bilang last resort. Kung ang first option mo e pagiging nurse at ang second option ay pagiging call center agent, wrong mistake na kagad yan. May school nurse, private duty nurse, nurse midwife, nurse assistant, entreprenurse, at kung ano ano pa. kung pagiging underemployed, high paying, stable job ang kelangan mo, then go for other careers.

14. Huwag umiyak kung walang baker. Marami ring wala. Hindi solusyon ang pagkainis sa mga taong pinanganak na may mga koneksyon. Obligasyon mo sa karera mo ang gumawa ng sarili mong mga koneksyon at gamitin to.

In the end, it all depends on how bad you want it. You must want it so bad. Like if someone tells you to raze a village you don’t say why, you say how high. THAT is how I got my job, and THAT is how you can too.
