Problems of Nurses would like to Work Abroad!

Recently, I talked with the consultancy firm regarding a possible nursing jobs in New Zealand, and Australia. They said that these countries are now requiring the applicants to submit lots of documents regarding their nursing course if the school being attended by the applicants were not accredited yet by their Nursing Council. They are encouraging also those upcoming nursing students to take a nursing course with the recognition from those countries being mentioned above otherwise the applicants may go through lots of paper works and requirement for their validity.

In our country today, there are lots of schools that are offering nursing courses without following the normal procedures in administering the course. I have learned that there are two prominent universities in Davao City, Philippines, that they do not own a hospital as their permanent based hospital.  I heard from their students that they even claimed that Davao Medical Center (DMC) and Davao Regional Hospital (DRH) as their permanent based hospital but sad to say DMC and DRH are owned by the Republic of the Philippines. They are a government hospital and not owned by a private schools. Most of them (I am referring to schools) that they liked shortcuts and did the easiest ways. Most of the nursing schools in our country specifically in Davao City, Philippines did not care about affiliations and accreditation to international agencies in order for them to be recognized

If you like to be a nurse then choose the recognized (both local and abroad) nursing schools. After all, if you like to work abroad then you do not have problems of fulfilling lots of documents. There is one and only nursing school in Davao City was being recognized by New Zealand. It is the San Pedro College (SPC). The SPC is currently operated by nuns, a Dominican Sisters. SPC has its owned ISO accredited hospital. Their nursing school is not so expensive compared with the other school, like the one being operated by the priest. Luckily, my wife (a nurse) was a product of SPC and she enjoyed the privileges acquired by the school.

A piece of information from the consultants that they do not care about where the applicants came from or from a school being highly recognized by Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) as TOP 10 performing nursing schools in the Philippines in terms of Board Examination results, as long as they are qualified and recognized by the New Zealand and Australia in their respective Nursing Councils.

The Art of War

Living in this world must need to survive all the consequences. We must know our position. We must be very flexible in dealing with our enemy. Sometimes, our enemies are playing a good friend, a mentor but in reality they are traitors. They can even afford to smile. A smile of a traitor. If they think that their career is at stake, they are willing to develop strategies for their personal advantage. Believe it or not, these enemies are wise and educated (sometimes they are PhDs, Priest, Lawyers, Engineers, etc.) but oftentimes they are dumb with their ideas. They tried to play God and superior but they never realized that they are poor – in terms of true friends. People will come nearer to these traitors in order to be benefited from their evil resources. But, how long they will survive in these evil deeds.

I have been into this situation for the past few days. I never realized that I was able to survive in this trickery world. During difficult times, you will know your true friends. Oftentimes, they will stand beside you. They will support and nurture you. There are many things that I learned from this (1) Think about the future, (2) Remember your love ones, (3) Be calm, (4) Look for more advises and solutions, (5) Develop countermeasures and attacks, (6) Pray harder that these people who jeopardize your future will enjoy God’s justice, and most importantly (7) Do not let them happy.

To those who read this article, just evaluate your conscience and be vigilant if you think that you did injustice to your fellow men because God (as what a very good priest said) did not sleep.
