Bilang isang NARs, Are you a nurse?

Yesterday, January 25, 2015, we started our orientation at BRAINS review center. I enrolled in this review center to help me in regards with my NMAT... so far, our class started at 8am-12 for our psychology class, and after lunch we started our orientation. I really have nothing against the review center, but with regards to belittling us, NURSES, that’s where I have these guts to tell you these.

  Ako ay isang Pilipino at isang proud NURSE / NARS. Nakakalungkot man isipin and nakakafrustrate tlga ng marinig ko ang mga sinsabe nya about nurses and sa sinasabe nya na wala kameng karapatan bilang nurse na question-in ang mga doctor. On my POV. We don’t question the doctor but we COMMUNICATE INTERACT AND BE A PATIENT ADVOCATE.  Hindi kame magtatapos ng apat na kurso and magboboard para sa wala lang. or para maliitin or utus utusan ng doctor.  Kaya dumadami ang mga taong minamaliit ang mga nurse ay dahil mismong ang mga nurse, tayong mga nurse, hindi proud sa pagiging nurse, dahil na nga sa komunidad natin na ayaw mag stand out or magsalita bilang nurse, actually mas ipagmamalaki ko pa nga na nurse ako, kase di hamak naman na mas may alam ako sa isang individual na tao. Kung ikukumpara ako sa mga kaklase ko na mag e-NMAT tapos wala naman alam sa anatomy ng tao, or sa behavior ng  tao, or sa mga gamut na binibigay, or sa mga klase ng surgery na pinag aassistan naming mga nurse or sa way ng pag tibok ng puso or san nagmumula ang mga ibat ibang klase ng sakit. I SHOULD BE PROUD. Kase all in one nasa amin mga nurse yan! Kaya naming makipag sabayan sa psych, sa ortho, sa OR, DR, ER, renal, cardio, and or the likes . Kung tutusin mas malapit kames a doctor and kaya naming makipag sabayan sa basics. I just feel sad and somehow mad sa sinasabe ng lecturer namin, hindi dahil nakaranas sya ng panget or hnde maayos na nurse, is lalahatin nya na kame. Just like every professionals, hnde lahat nag eexcel sa isang bagay, or hnde lahat PERPEKTO, may mga bagay kame na unti unti naming pinag aaralan and I can say na pinagbubutihan namin. I feel so guilty na hnde ako nagsalita para samin mga tinatawag nyang nurse na losers. Bago lang ako dto sa review and I know I got this low grade sa pretest exam. Pero hnde dahilan un para maliitin kameng mga nurse or tumahimik nalang ako. Na hnde daw pang premed ang course namin. Para sa mga nurse. Oo hnde tayo dapat nakikipag argument, or hnde tayo dapat sumasali sa mga away na ganito. PERO kung patuloy tayong tatahimik nalang or hahayaan natin na kung ano ano sasabihin nila satin. Hnde lang tayo. Kundi mas marami pa silang maiimpluwensyahan tao na manipulahin or maliitin tayo. Just somehow with regards to this blog, sana maiboost ko un karaptan NATIN BILANG NURSE na ipaglaban un propesyon natin. Na maging PROUD NURSE KA PINAGHIRAPAN MO YAN! INARAL BAWAT PARTE NG TAO, BAWAT GAMOT NA IBIBGAY BAWAT BEHAVIOR, BAWAT MICROORGANISM, BAWAT LAMAN LOOB NG TAO AT ANG MGA FUNCTIONS NA TOH! STAND OUT!!!! HNDE KA DAPAT PARA MALIITIN KUNDI DAPAT KANG RESPETUHIN BILANG TAO! BILANG ISANG PROPESYONAL AT BILANG ISANG NURSE!!!!!

                  Sa ngayon dito muna magtatapos ang blog na toh. And hopefully matuto tayo na ipaglaban ang propesyon natin. Bilang RN! BILANG PROUD FILIPINO NURSE!

JANUARY 23, 2014

At long last, the wait is over. There were many moments of mixed emotions due to the increasing anxiety as the release date of result was fast approaching! But, in the very end, GOD HAS REMAINED SO FAITHFUL TO HIS OBEDIENT AND WILLING CHILDREN.

This day marks the beginning of my endeavor as Your Registered Nurse. I was immediately dumbfounded and humbled at the same time when I saw my name on the list. The funny part was, I flickered a million times... just to absorb the reality that from this moment on, I am without doubt, Your RN. n_________n Prayers are answered and cries are heard! I am in awe, not because of what I did but of what You did especially during those moments when I almost got eaten by my unconstrained fears. *Forgive me for being a child with little faith. U________U

In Your eyes, I am able and perfect for this role and will always be grateful for this privilege to serve Your people. No I won't stop praying, I'll pray harder and even more steadfast. May I repay you with my immense faith and trust in Your plans. You deserve all the praises, Lord, thank you. Your unfailing love gives me strength and for this I am all Yours. Use me.

You Know You're Taking the Philippine NLE When...

1. You manifest signs of mania and try super hard to hide it. 

e.g. "I'm such an idiot. I'm not gonna pass the board. I'm going to fail harder than the government." *3 hours later* "DUDE I GOT THIS I'M GONNA PASS WITH FLYING COLORS YO. TOP THE BOARD EXAM!!!"

2. You jump topics at the slightest indication of a definition being somewhere else. e.g. You read, "Reye's Syndrome" from Medical-Surgical Nursing, flip to Pediatric Nursing to find out what it is, find out it has something to do with Acetaminophen, jump to pharmacology.

3. Your diet is that of a starved child that suddenly got adopted by multimillionaires.

4. You find mnemonics in everything. EVERYTHING. 

5. Everyone outside the review center actively avoids talking about the upcoming exam around you, save for asking the exact date. (Sometimes repetitively.)

6. You zone out. A lot. Even when you're not studying.

7. You finally saw the DYING in STUDYING.

8. Sudden mood changes that range from irritable to depressed.

9. You used to want "flying" or "becoming invisible" as a superpower, but now you want it to be "guessing stuff correctly all the time."

10. Induced insomnia. e.g. "There are 100,000+ people taking the boards and I'm sleeping?! HELL TO THE NO" when you're eyes are dropping and your brain can't absorb any more information.
