Stuck into the Chase

It's August 27, 2011, 2:51 p.m and I am at home, alone with my computer at hand.  Yeah, while the whole medical field is busy dealing with pregnant women in labor, overweight people with chest pains, women having difficulty of breathing, lots of traumas and sick kids, I am stuck here, trying to pour my heart and soul into the web piece I made over a year ago.

As I try to look over the couple of years behind me, I realize that a lot has clearly transpired since I got my diploma from a nursing school.  Well, the former Student Nurse who barely knows how to operate oxygen tanks has finally grown up.  The college girl wearing white stockings and green scrubs for duty is now a bona fide  Registered Nurse and Certified Renal Nurse in the country.  How does that sound, huh?

Anyway, a year has already passed since I started practicing my profession as a Volunteer Nurse in the country and I'm loving this profession even more as time goes on.  I love taking care of the sick people.  I love saving lives. I love being a nurse.

So what's new with this blog post, anyway?  Well, in my 5 months as a Staff Nurse, lots of opportunities came by already.  First of all, I got this chance to migrate to Australia this coming February.  Then, I was also informed that I'll be a certified Intensive Care Unit Nurse this coming December.  I feel so happy and overwhelmed right now.  Imagine, almost all of my hopes and aspirations are finally coming true.  I mean, I finally got this chance to build my nursing career abroad before my IELTS exam results expires.  Plus, I will be wearing scrubs a couple of months from now.

I'm really grateful for all the blessings and opportunities coming my way.  However, I will have to leave someone else behind once I go to Australia and I know that it won't be easy for the both of us.  Loving someone and leaving him behind is hard but for now, I can only hope for the best.  Opportunities come and pass but true love waits, right?

Australia, Here I Come!
