Catch up

Hello, home. I’m back. I missed home like I haven’t been here all month long. Months ago, I was praying for a new job to work on. I resigned from my first hospital nursing job to focus on my NCLEX-RN exam review, and to get out of being sick and tired from the merciless system the hospital offered. It was a year of pain and learning without the right compensation and promotion. Still, I am thankful for the opportunity to grow and be awakened.

And finally, I passed the NCLEX-RN exam although my license in IL hasn’t been released yet. To God be the glory! I hope that soon I could officially celebrate this triumph with people close to me. However, a part of me says to stay and work here in my beloved country. But I will not give up my dream to travel the world. And so I prayed for opportunities to earn the same as what I will when I work abroad.

Then my prayer was answered. Here came the opportunities to be a nurse educator, and simultaneously, build a business that would get me faster towards my dreams in life.

I was able to work as a reviewer for nursing board examinees. I was having a hard time reviewing all the concepts myself and to deliver it well for I don’t have any teaching experience then. But by grace, I made it through all my scheduled class.  I am thankful that God has provided this nursing-related job when I was actually considering to get back to BPO or even other office type of jobs. 

Soon, the local NLE review will be over and I don’t know if I’d be given the chance at least to teach for NCLEX-RN examinees again. Nevertheless, it’s rewarding to be able to travel places (Cebu, Davao, Baguio, and Manila, of course!) through this job and reach out to our future RNs at the same time.

Anyway, with that, I’ll have more time working on my business. I’ve been learning a lot and I look forward to succeeding on this venture. I want to push myself while I’m young and able in order to realize all that I dreamed of for me and, most importantly, for my family. I strongly believe that our family’s situation (living miles apart because of work) will soon be over as I establish my own business strong. I pray that blessings will pour down on me and my family and that one day, we’ll live together and experience abundance in Christ without compromise.

God speed! And to God be the glory!
