I received this simple token from my junior nurse the other day that made me happy as her senior and mentor. Working in the health care system seems so impossible to never look out for some glitches like work pressure, endless complaints, and horrible duty schedule, especially if you’re a nurse.  Well, being a nurse for four years was a tough experience already, but I still considered myself as a beginner.
This note had given me an impression that I am more of a mentor now. I should be proud of this. However, I was thinking about writing my thoughts about this realization.
One of my research proposals for my thesis was about nurse bullying. It had pushed me to include this selection to find some comparative study on the hospital violence among nurses in public and private institution. My personal experiences had given me enough reasons to think about it today. Did I experience nurse bullying? Or am I the bully already?
Some people I’ve known in my profession would rather take for granted this issue about bullying. It’s a normal process and more of a challenge especially if you’re in the clinical area. Furthermore, I’m quite disappointed because I do believe that we should not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you. Sadly, bullying became a cycle already in the society. It’s not just happening in the nursing profession, but it seems a widespread scenario.

Helping one another is the essence of workmanship. I helped my junior nurse in her first night shift and I make it sure that she learned something from me. I am quite noble to find this token as a treasured moments as nurse here in the Philippines. It had given me enough inspiration to stay as a nurse in the long run. And I hope I can keep this promise to myself.

'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.'

Written July 14, 2015 . This is the movie wallpaper of Wild. I just finished watching the movie 'Wild'. I chose to watch this movie tonight because of Reese Witherspoon and she's one of my favorite. And also, I didn't have a lot of things to do right now, so I prefer a movie over a book. I thought this was all about hiking because that was the idea I got in the trailer. I was wrong. Somehow, as the story continues, it illustrates how strong a woman can face life alone in the dessert and how she survives such crisis. It also depicts what a woman can do in order to move on and surpass her troubles. As a woman, myself, the movie helps me to become more courageous enough in dealing with my own problems. There was a line that catches my attention, 'Problems don't stay problems, they turn into something else.' It can be our life's motto especially if we are losing hope in our situation. This is Cheryl Strayed. Cheryl Strayed and Reese Wither...

Moving forward takes time.

     I already said my goodbyes repeatedly years ago, but when he came back without a warning, the feelings have suddenly immersed and I am here troubled with doubts of what would be the right thing to do.       Yes, I dearly love him after all these years, but as far as we go through this journey, we can’t keep ourselves steady and stable in securing a commitment. I don’t know if this is just a minor feeling, but I am hurt already in the inside especially on his silent treatment and ignoring behavior.       I love him that I almost have given everything just to keep him in my life. Love can really make us crazy and because of these raging feelings, I can do things without even thinking clearly. Now that he’s far away from me, I am keeping myself secure and somehow ready for anything that will happen sooner.       I should be contented with what I only have in my life. Honestly, this is what I co...

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back?

GERD, why do you have to keep on coming back? Originally written last June 26, 2013. 'Sometimes we tend to overindulged ourselves with earthly things. Then, frustration comes in when the feeling of inadequacy overshadowed us.'    Last June 23, 2013, I ate a lot that I couldn't manage my stomach anymore. It started with a cup of milo at 4am. I was in the graveyard shift that time. I didn't have enough sleep and I don't have any choice, but to drink cup of coffee after I ate my breakfast. Well, I'm living with my family and I didn't have the hard time in preparing my meals. That morning we enjoyed our merienda because shared a serve of mango float. I'm glad staying in the house every weekend because my siblings were there and together we're complete as a family. I ate four slices of pizza the afternoon of that day and then, it started my hyperacidity.      I was diagnosed with GERD last year. GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Diseas...
