The [Whereabouts]

This is one question I have never asked for myself not until tonight. Few hours ago, the Philippine Professional Regulations Commission finally released the total number and names of newly passed nursing graduates from the recent licensing examination for nurses held last November 29-30 of 2009. A total of 37, 527 out of 94, 462 (39.72%) passed the said examination. I am happy for those who passed but whenever the thought of what’s gonna happen next to my career as a registered nurse, I get a little worried and agitated. About two years have passed now since I graduated and passed but I’m seeing no improvement with my career. Yeah, I’m an NCLEX-RN passer, IELTS and CGFNS certified but that’s just about it. I’m starting to lose my interest with this field that I chose.

What if I took Theatre Arts or a computer-related course like IT when I was in college? They are my first love anyway. Perhaps I am not having this kind of sentiment and maybe I am much happier and more true in congratulating newly passed nurses right now. Maybe I’m more successful and much happier with the status of my career. Well, maybe. I still can’t tell. Regretting can be easy but whenever I think of real friends I’ve met because of the course I took, it’s becoming harder and harder to think of any regrets to make.

By the way, I frowned first and felt like an eyebrow raised before I felt happy to all those who passed. I don’t know but that’s how I’m feeling after seeing no progress with this career where white uniforms exist. I know that progress depends on me. I’ve got any license, certificate and registration you may need. I can get a job but I want a fair compensation. With how the world is running, let me be honest. Money makes the world go round. You need it to support your few luxuries or at least feed yourself and perhaps support other family members too. Without it, you’ll live and die a beggar while stepping on your own ego. Maybe I’m just in an early middle life crisis stage and becoming impatient that’s why I’m saying this, please excuse me.
