Nurse Shortage


I thought everything would be easy, I thought I could find a place that suits me…
But then I’m still here waiting and waiting for a great break. Why is it that they say there is a brain drain and there are needs of nurses in the hospital but in reality we can’t find one which can accept us for work? We tried everything, offered our self as volunteers but still no hospital accepts us. We already passed the NLE but yet we can’t find a hospital were we can work.

Most of the nursing graduate and NLE passers are now working in the call center agency which they can earn money for there daily living while others became sales clerks in mall or companies. Only few nurses are still wasting there precious time waiting for hospital opening either for hiring or volunteer.. So sad but it’s the reality!!

So they shouldn’t say that there are shortage of nurses because there are many nurses but because they didn’t give them proper training and opportunity that’s the time nurses losses there passion in looking for hospital.. As for my experience I’ve waited so much, there’s a lot of wasted time but still I couldn’t do anything just to wait.

In my mind I should be patient in everything wait for the right time to come but then there’s a point that I wish I could do something especially when I’m really bored.
Luckily we found a place to trained our selves even it is not a paid work, I know some day I may use everything that I will learn from this polyclinic to a hospital based client care.
