It is all about trust

I grew up earning people’s trust. Not because I did something wrong. Maybe because my mind is preoccupied by my assumptions. Which technically, shouldn’t be that way. I grew up becoming a worrier from health issues down to finances. As a graduate in a medical field with enough knowledge, with just simple cough and colds, Sometimes I over react and assumed that it may go to tuberculosis! Hilarious isn’t it? (But tell me nurses, you were also that O.A) Anyway this blog will go about how I overcome from being a worrier.

I learned the hard way. Honestly, it wasn’t the most exciting lesson. But my character and personality was build. Trust means letting go and waiting. It takes a lot of patience to earn their trust. It took me years to let them trust me or trust them. I didn’t force them anymore. I did my part and I stopped.

I love my family most especially my siblings. I’ve been their guardian for more than five years since my parents work abroad. I’ve witnessed their growth, their ups and downs, their issues in life and their health concerns. When my siblings get sick, I really get panic or anxious! Literally get crazy! Then Here comes the financial problems, since I was just a student back then, I don’t know where to get instant money. I don’t know how to pay the bills back then. And all of that has been running through my mind. I know you all know that problems or conflicts are really part of life.

My story doesn’t end there. The trust issues begins when the conflict rises. I prayed so hard, I wept and wept till God heard me. I didn’t give up and He doesn’t ignore me. I trusted God from finance to healing. I know that my God saves and provides. It took me years to remove that fears and becoming a worrier. He restored me by assuring me through His word.

“7 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be distressed or lacking in courage” John 14:27

It still took me years to overcome the fears. It wasn’t easy. I lost friends because of my insecurities and misassumptions. But again since I put my trust to God and He has always been my refuge, He saved my relationships.

“And God is able to make all grace overflow to you so that because you have enough of everything in every way at all times, you will overflow in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8

His grace made it all possible for me to earn their trust again and for me to put trust on people. .it wasn’t easy. I was scared on building new relationships but God assured me that He will move and work in their lives. I cannot but He can. Its all up to God if this relationship will stay or not. But God knows my heart’s desire. I know He will not let any enemy destroy my relationships. He holds everything. And even my relationships belongs to Him and I know as much as He loves me, He also loves the people close to my heart. ❤️ I hope that let’s not allow the enemy to rule over our mind and conquer over our thoughts. I hope that this article would be a great help of to whom we should really put our trust and that is in Jesus Christ.

Southwoods Unihealth …..

As of today, I’m here at Mcdonalds southwoods. I came from Southwoods Unihealth to pass my edited resume. Before I went there, I was so dread nervous. I am wearing a corporate attire just in case of on the spot interview. The hospital is still on going construction with men workers. I haven’t seen one lady or any woman inside the construction site. I was assisted by gentlemen security guards (I suppose they should because its part of their job). The security guard assisted me all the way up to the third floor, instructing the workers to stop as I walk towards their way. Actually the building is not yet fixed but I guess they are almost half way finish. When I got to the room where I should pass my resume, the security guard wished me luck (Oh by thew ay, even the tricycle driver wished me luck as I rode off his vehicle). So I passed my papers to the so-called Mr. Alvin, and had a relief when I handled it to him. Asked him when they are going to start and if they have applicants already. He said yes and maybe late in June is their target.

Last year, as I see that building build it was already included of my prayer. I see it as my future hospital experience but not as a volunteer nurse rather as Staff Nurse in a special area. Every time I go home, when I was at the backride in tricycle, I was already praying for that hospital whispering these positive and full of faith words as I point and look to the not-yet finish building ” I’ll be one of your E.R staff nurse or a Staff nurse!”. I was asking it to God since last year, praying for a tertiary hospital and get employed this time.

Nothing is impossible to God who has given us these blessings. He knows where we are going to use our gifts for His glory. I just can’t believe that every time I whine and complain at my work, I still can’t give up this job, like what Sharon said on her movie Caregiver “I care about my job, I care about you, Sir”. I wholeheartedly care about my job even it takes no salary or just “thank you” in return.

It takes trust, hope, perseverance and faith to get to the place you’ve dreamed of. Love leads us to stir the unwavering passion to push hard and live the different circumstances. Experience teaches us to do better and help us throughout consequences.

Fears won’t stop me from pursuing and chasing my dreams. By the help of my greatest Backer in life, God, will surely make all things possible. He will surely be true to His promises.

Motivation at work

Day in and day out since my grandmother passed away, I’ve decided to stay at home and be with my father who just freshly came abroad. For the second week (If not mistaken), my dad encouraged me to apply and join the job fair held at SM Sta. Rosa. There were opportunities and open doors but few of them responded to my application. Beforehand, hospital has been the desire of my heart. As a nurse, with a little experience from government hospital I know that when I’m inside the hospital I can apply my 4 years skills as a nursing student.

From job fair none of them didn’t pursued me consistently. when my dad went back abroad, I’ve decided not to be on a couch potato, I encouraged myself to push on a non-stop application until I get response from them. Its been my prayer to be accepted in the hospital.

When I tried at San Pedro Doctor’s Hospital, I had the urge of praying for it. I immediately talked to God. After a week, I got a message from SPDH for an interview. With fullness of joy and happiness, I didn’t let it pass by. I was unexpected assign at Emergency Room, one of the place I hated before. (haha)

First day at ER, I was still aloof but my seniors didn’t hesitate to orient me with the protocols I needed to know. So let me go straight to my title. What really motivates me going to work?

1. It’s a hospital.
2. It’s a one ride way from home. Which means a cheaper daily cost of transportation.
3. Emergency. Meaning, you’ll be trained how to manage time and TRIAGE
4. Free meals! 🙂
5. I want to do my best this time (compared to my previous hospital, I didn’t do much)
6. I like my trainers/seniors! They really oriented me!
7. I like “some” approachable doctors. *grin
8. Staff nurses are very nice and approachable.
9. Cases at ER are challenging.
10. My seniors are very good in motivating their co-workers. They know how to uplift a beginner.
11. They are very friendly.
12. Evaluation process. 🙂
13. I love IV insertion to pedia.
14. I’ve got an INSPIRATION :)))) (You need it to maintain the smile on your face!)
16. and most of all, I know that God has plans for me why He put me in this place.

Hopeful and expectant for what He is about to do in my life. Holding on to His promises. This may be painful at first but I know that God is my ultimate comforter and He is not yet done with me. I know that He knows what’s best for me. Totally in surrender and trust in Him. 🙂

P.S Sorry for the wrong grammars and spelling if there are.. 🙂

Why I would recommend Nursing course . . .

I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Nursing last 2011. Within 4 years of learning may it be RLE or lecture, all the major and minors has impacted a lifetime lesson to me – to serve with love and care has become one of my aspiring character each day. Like the bible said, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you….” (Matthew 7:12)

Nursing is really a big responsibility, you have to apply the oath pledged by yourself. Being a novice nurse should start on aiming “BENEFICENCE” to promote the well being of others or “NON-MALEFICENCE” do no harm and not “MALEFICENCE” to do harm. Its not just a big responsibility but also OBLIGATION to cooperate with the medical team plus to definitely prioritize the patient’s needs. This is life I am talking about! It may be difficult but the reward is priceless, its more than satisfaction on behalf of the recovered patient from ICU or revived patient at ER, or a child got a “may go home” order/advise from his attending physician because of attending the needs of the patient.

So here are some reasons why I would recommend to all the incoming freshmen college students the NURSING course….

No. 1 you will learn enhance your communication skills especially with impatient patients at Out-patient department

No.2 Nursing is not all about MONEY-MAKER, it is a CALLING to serve the humanity

No. 3 You will suffer first before you attain the success, Nursing course is very expensive, so you really have to burn eyebrows and CALORIES for you to pass the course.

No. 4 Its not a joke to administer a “just” medicine, you have to study it first and be familiar to it. (and also the 10 R’s of administering of medication)

No. 5 Nursing is also fun, don’t set your mind that Nursing is anti-social, being a nurse has its fun hours too.

No. 6 Every time you touch patient’s lives is always a heart whelming experience that you can treasure each day even from a very toxic duty.

No. 7 Even you’ve been dumped by the doctor, at the end of the day your main priority is your patient and it will never give you a “bad vibes” if you know what/who your priorities

No. 8 Nursing is an art. Its not only about medications, injections or attending the needs of the patients. As a nurse, you have to be creative or resourceful as well especially in emergency cases.

No. 9 You will learn how to manage time and to be organize with everything.

No. 10 To become a Nurse is a lifetime gratitude to every single life you encounter.

Yes! Yet you have to earn the license first 🙂 I’m not yet a competent or expert nurse but I definitely LOVE my profession 🙂

Well these are some of it, but at the end of this article, your choice is still important. My number one advise to all the incoming freshmen college students:

Just focus, STUDY HARD, don’t be satisfied on the “passing grade” but instead EXCEL in everything….
