Why did I choose Nursing:
Because this is I think the course where in you you can have a big impact to other people's lives. It is a very fulfilling profession especially when your patients appreciate the things that you do to them. Not only that you can take care of other people but also your loved ones especially if there are problems regarding health.
About my college education:
I learned a lot in this course. Nursing course wont let you learn technical skills only but also how to deal with different situations in life. How to deal with different people.
For me, pharmacology is the most difficult subject because there are wide sets of medication depending on the problem of the patients. But if you give your effort and strive hard to study, I know you can pass this subject just like what I did.
Honestly speaking, exams in PLM are really hard if you don't study. There are no difficult exams if you prepare your self. Being a PLMayer needs a lot of hard work. But I think, this will just prepare you for the future. There are people who shifted to other courses because they just realized what they really want to pursue.
Hard work is what you really need if you want to succeed in any courses. Being a genius is good but being wise is the best. You must really know what you want so that you don't have to force yourself in doing things that you don't want in the first place. If you want nursing, then go for it. As long as you really desires it and it is your true passion. But if you just force yourself to take nursing, you wont be happy and you may always fail.
My current job:
My job is a private duty nurse. I am assigned to one patient at a time. It may be hospital or home based.
Am I using what I learned in college:
Different nursing skills like catheterization, NGT feeding, dealing with patient of all age group, etc
How long did it take to find a job:
I just got my licensed last january 2014 and I got my first job this june 2014 because I need to attend different seminar and trainings.
Do I recommend studying Nursing:
Finding employment is not hard if you really put you effort in finding a job.
Salary is in a minimum basis if you don't have any working experience. Salary is high if you get the chance to work in a government hospital.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
You must assess yourself first. Know what you really want. Because in nursing, you don't use your brain only but also your heart. If you're really force to do it maybe by your family, try to love the course and maybe in time, you will feel the fulfilling feeling that every nurses experienced.
