One Step at a Time

bloodytom

All those times spent just being a bum even made me forget how to start a new entry here. I had to sit here for more than ten minutes thinking just how to begin. After my last job ended, I was back to my old SAH (stay-at-home? or shit-ass-ho?) life. I was a bum again for another month, although I spent some days still looking for new jobs, most of them overseas. Just last week I visited for recruitment agencies hoping to find the thing that will finally get my ass out of here.

But right now I just started on my new job teaching and guiding nursing students as they are first exposed to the hospital setting. I still feel overwhelmed about everything since it all happened so fast and I was taken off guard when I was given my first schedule. I was filled with excitement and anxiety alike. I've always wanted to be a clinical instructor when I was still a student and now it's finally came true. Although I have to admit that I prefer to work as one of the staff, this is the closest job I could get to a staff nurse. Besides, I take pleasure in sharing what I know to my younger counterparts.

My first week was less frightening as I expected. I was having doubts about my capacity to handle students. I was very anxious about committing mistakes and making a bad example for them since I was not exactly a model student during my college days. But everything went smoothly in spite of some difficulties on both ends. I was still adjusting to the stress and the pressure of the big responsibility. It was also my first time to be back in the hospital floor after a few months. I was glad to recall most of the things I learned. I just hope that I was able to leave a good impression and that they learned something from me that they can use on their next rotation.

I hope to have another schedule next week. I think I'm going to like this job while I'm waiting for better things to come. I don't mind being an extra bit busy as long as I'm doing something productive with my time. This is all I can share for now, I gotta check some papers.

The Indie Filipinas

What else is a better way for us music lovers to celebrate the Independence Day than to listen to pure Pinoy progressive metal? Eternal Now, after oh so many years, will finally release their debut album Filipinas 1800, the first ever concept album about the Philippine Revolution.

This Is a No-Smoking Site

I was checking my e-mails on Thunderbird when I noticed one of my recent messages from New Vois Association about the 20th World No Tobacco Day which will be tomorrow, May 31. There will be a free concert at the Rajah Sulayman Park in Malate, Manila at 6 PM. I'm not sure if I'll be there but I support this cause 100%.

I wasn't driven to support this campaign just because I'm a nurse, but since at a young age, I've witnessed some horrors that smoking can bring to an individual, the family and the community. In fact, this is a huge problem around the world that even strict legislation can barely control the people who are part of this problem.

Smoking is one of the most dangerous habits one can develop. It doesn't kill just the smokers but the others around them. What's worse is that the non-smokers are the ones that are more affected. According to the articles found on the FCAP website, there are 4.7 million households in the Philippines that can't provide enough money for food, education and health but still set a larger portion of their earnings just so they can go on smoking.
