The new working (fan)girl
Six months before, I posted an entry wondering "What's next?" in my life. And now I got the answer I have been waiting for--
What's next is that I am finally saying goodbye to bumming around!
...Thoooough I don't think I'd be able to do that. 8D So, ahem, let me rephrase my previous statement: I am finally going to have LESS time to bum around! Because on Monday, I'm going to start working as a Staff Nurse at the Philippine General Hospital. *_*
Our college batch, Oble, and the PGH facade
PGH, being the National University Hospital, was where we did our clinical duties in college, so I wanted to work there after graduating since I know I'd feel at home somehow--yes, despite the toxicity. Working in this hospital would be a great challenge, I know. Maybe after a few weeks/months/years, I would be complaining of being overworked, over-stressed, over-fatigued (and plenty of other "over-"s) from taking care of 15-20 demanding patients within my eight-hour shift or would be ranting about the dangers of flood-prone Taft Ocean Avenue where PGH sinks stands (I really should have been used to the flood after already spending four years in university there). But despite everything, I still think I'd choose to work in this hospital.
So even if it took a long wait, I'm thankful that I got in. I passed the Staff Nurse position requirements seven months ago, last September 2010. I then took the Nursing Proficiency Examination last October 29 along with some of my college batchmates. We finally found out that we passed the exam last December 2. I had my Panel Interview just last March 24 (after four months of waiting!) and had my Final Interview with the Deputy Director of Nursing later that same day (which was a surprise, since I though that we needed to wait a few more weeks/months for the final interview). That same day, I was told that I passed both interviews and that I will need to pass my employment requirements immediately. I submitted the requirements to the HR Department the next day. I was then told to complete the medical examination and submit the medical certificate by March 31... and then it was done! The Orientation would be on April 14 and I'll be reporting on duty on April 18. =) The process may seem too easy when I outline it like this, but it has been a long and challenging journey.
So, to at least enjoy the summer before I start full-time work, I'll be going on a trip to Tagaytay with my college friends tomorrow and on an overnight swimming trip in Laguna with my family on Friday. Hopefully I'd be able to post again next time to update about everything. May free time still be abundant! =D Wish me luck! <3
