NURSING BOARD...Who's gonna PAY?

I'm also a professional particularly a licensed ECE. I just wonder about the recent nursing board. It's a burden for them, burden for other registered nurses, problems on employment either local or abroad, and also an alarm for other professionals.

The time I've taken the board, while having the exam I came to think about what kind of professional regulation do we have. It's a professional regulation but they themselves doesn't have the quality and regualtion for the exam.

On my experience (ECE License Board), they gave a bonus for a question which they thought the given data where incomplete. But actually there is a certain principle behind it and can be answered even the data is incomplete. So many questions with misspelled words, wrong item asked, wrong units, typographical errors, etc. Damn! It's a professional regulation!

On the results, my scores were lower than I expected. Specially math! I aimed to be a topnotcher that time and until now I can't accept the result. I studied hard, which almost made me frustrated and sacrificed everything. Every minute was crucial, I even study while on a bus. I read several books, e-books, surf the net, magazines, etc...which might have at least relevance to the possible questions in the exam.

To think of the hardships of the nursing students who took the board last June, they gave all their best! Taking again the said board is unnecessary! Admit it guys, fellow professionals, once the board is over, the things that we had acquired and read were all gone though some retains. It would be hard for them to prepare for it again if that happens.

What will happen for retaking the exam? A student who fails then retaking it and passed? A student who passed then retaking it and failed? What the heck!!!

Being strict for the employment of this batch of nurses? What the hell! It's unfair! The PRC should be reformed!

How did the leakage happened? Why there were leakages? Pointing out the culprits is one major step but it must not end there! They should be more strict and be more professional and have some quality exams! I'm a QC Engineer and what always on my mind is being ahead of time. Answering the problem is not just pointing out the cause but also preventing it to happen again and being ahead before a posssible problem would occur.

Career in the Philippines

Tell me what's your profession? Is that your career you're working on? What can you say about your work? Your salary? Your working environment? Your boss? Your company? The industry?

Have you thought of this, "Am I enjoying my career here in the Philippines? Will I stay on this career forever? In this company? In this indsutry?

How's your salary? Your promotion? Your boss? Your company? The industry?

Why so many professionals have no work but instead engaged in an industry different from their career? Professionals but working 180' different from their profession? Professional work has lower salary than a non pro work? Why? Why do doctors rather want to be a nurse? Why do doctors, engineers, architects, etc. end in a call center industry? For worst, end to nothing!?

Individuals from call centers have higher salary than the one who designed the products they provide for?

Do you know that jeepney drivers or any non pro occupation tends to have higher income than professionals? Example: bus, jeepney, taxi, drivers, balot vendor, taho vendor. They dont pay tax!

Figure this: A bus driver normally gets P1000 in one day (8hrs). Don't react on this but its true! I had a feasibility study about e-fare system on aircon buses so I'd also studied this. P1K a day and no tax to pay! (I'm saying tax over their income just what professionals have...on their salary)

Many professionals rather work abroad than to rot here on its own land. Why? What are the professional development we can have here? Work as a professional and develop yourself a mm higher or even microns higher. Damn your slower than a snail or a turtle! Damn it! (Coz of crab mentality, work environment, lack of interest on work, not the chosen career, etc.!)

CAREER HERE IS DEAD!!! Just to stay alive and kickin' you need to be wise, disregard professionalism and the career you want, and pray for luck!

The best line I can describe a career here: "I would rather be a seller than to be the inventor or designer of what I sell." "If ever Einstein, Watts, Maxwell, Edison, Faraday live during this time, they will be regarded as rats and pests." "From what we have now, following their footsteps would mean craziness...so sad."

LOVE STORY IN HARVARD

So In Love by Kim Jeong Un

Spring, summer, fall & winter dreams..
Those are shinning like a star
They keep whispering,
"I'm so in love with you"

Spring, summer, fall & winter love..
It is breezing to my heart
and it keeps telling,
"I'll make you rainbow smile"

I remember when we were angels,
when we dreamed about us
All my days were happy
just like a snowy christmas
I wish i'd have them always..

Every step i make writes a story
It is full of the heart
feeling love of my life and
missing friends of my time
I Wish i'd have them all..

In Spring, summer, fall & winter days..
we've been sharing all the hearts
love shines in my eyes
love just won't fade away

I remember when we were angels,
when we dreamed about us
All my days were happy
just like a snowy christmas
I wish i'd have them always..

Every step i make writes a story
It is full of the heart
feeling love of my life and
missing friends of my time
I Wish i'd have them all..

If you'd all the way show me the world
where I will stay in love
All my days will be white
just like a snowy christmas
You're just all I need

PLUTO....

As from the news, PLUTO will no longer be considered a planet. YES, it's true! For so many debates and time spent, arguments, and speculations if this tiny planet that we all know a planet since it was discovered in 1930 will no longer belong to the group.

The reasons were because of the definition, description and the attributes of being a planet. PLUTO didn't make it to be described as a planet rather declared as Dwarf Planet.

Just like what happened to Ceres. Do you remember this? Ceres was once considered a planet but it was demoted and described as an Asteroid.

Solar System are so mysterious, our technology, our knowledge, are not enough to explore and understand the mystery blanket. The BLACK HOLE.

More things will change. Science is not 100% sure that it will always be correct and will stay valid until the end of the world.

Remember the theory of Ptolemy? The sun revolves around the earth. Then what is it now? Thanks to Copernicus!

A more precise and full description of a planet will also be discussed and debated by the astronomers this coming September.

GUIMARAS OIL SPILL

Oil Spill, it is not a joke but a very serious problem. It is not just polluting the seas and oceans, it affects the marine life, the shores, the land animals, the people, every living and non-living things! The worst thing is, eventhough its already been 100% cleaned up, the marks of this disaster will always be there and will take years for the environment to gloom again.

Why did it happened? Are there precautionary measures for it not to happened? If it were by accident, what are the countermeasures? What's happening to Guimaras? Now, every second counts. The oil spill is destroying our environment.

What are they doing now? What are their plans? Now, vast amount of money were being spent. If it were prevented or a fast countermeasure had been initiated, less money will be spent and less destruction.

Have you seen a heavy equipment truck passing by in a park? As for me, seldom here in Philippines but in other country...never. Why this tanker passed by the shores of Guimaras, where a preserved area for marine life? Even close to Boracay which is a tourist destination? They have plans now to avoid tankers to pass by the shores of Guimaras. I think it should already been implemented before.

I found this article. "The worst pollution disaster in Europe to date was the 1991 sinking of 'The Haven', an oil tanker loaded with 144,000 tonnes of crude oil and owned by Troodos Shipping a company owned by Stelios Haji-loannou. 5 people were killed and for the next 12 years the Meditteranean coast of Italy and France have been polluted especially around Genoa and St. Tropez. Haji-Ioannou was prosecuted and charged with manslaughter and bribery."
