My last day... @ work
Its hard to believe that after 5years, I would pass my resignation from my work. Last 2004, a month after I knew that i passed my Nursing Board Examination, I started to apply from different hospitals. I didn't know that I was gonna pass all of them. Its even harder to pick which hospital you would want to be affiliated with. My mom did even suggest that I must pick the institution near our place. So with 5 hospitals, I chose Asian hospital and medical center. The Director of Hospital was in charge to assign new staff in different areas. I was waiting for my name to be called with designation. I was shocked because, I was placed to Critical care. I was like.. WHAT?! me? Critical Care Nurse? Why? Why me? I couldn't believe because I just graduated with no experience at all. So it was a BIG challenge for me. There were times that all of new people would experience, like... new place, different people to be with ( yeah, how to get along with different attitude), new but hard cases of diseases, new machines for Health technologies, ah well.. name it! I think I had faced it all!
From the day I started at work, I never told myself that I will become old as years pass by. I keep telling myself that, Phew! One more year, One new knowledge! I am very fond of new stuff which I can gain knowledge and skills. Of course, that would enhance my experience as a Nurse. Hey, add my dancing and singing skills. The Hospital even acknowledged my talents because I gave them prestige to compete with other hospitals. HAHA rofl
I started to work as a Emergency Nurse for a year, then in Cardiovascular ICU, then in Medical-Surgical ICU, Neonatal ICU and then finally (my dream), Hemodialysis Nurse. All of my patients felt sad when I did mention to them... "Mami, Dadi... I woulda stay for one more week here in hospital", they asked, "Why?". I happily said, "I will move to England to study/work there". They were like.. "WOW! It must be your great opportunity and thus, you can attain your goals and this would be your stepping stone to success" "Thanks to God".
April 25, 2009, my last day at work. I just can't believe that I am gonna say this. From all the batches I had, It was only me who was left in the institution. Some moved to other countries, some went to other hospitals and some married to their bf. I was the only left, I almost cried when I realized that. But I just kneeled and prayed, In time I will do that too.. just in time.
Now, I do have mixed emotions. Happy, fear, anxious, excited, great and etc.. I just can't explain it. Even my boyfriend is happy for me, because at last, He can finally visit me. Of course he can do it here in Philippines, but I think, moving to England is cheaper. This is all the thoughts I do have now. As I said, I will update this haha. God Bless to me!
