Finding A Job

One of the biggest stresses of my life right now -- finding a job. Not just any job but a job in a hospital as a Registered Nurse. You see, it's been a year since I got my license but I still haven't found a job in a hospital.

It's not what you think. I didn't lie around my a*s for a year! I was working then. I had good pay working as a freelance writer. In fact, the pay was so much better than what I would have received if I had worked in a hospital. Plus, I get to stay at home and managed my own time. It was fun but it had to end.

I've been looking for work since the last weeks of January of this year. I have passed application letters and my photocopied requirements to hospitals, insurance companies -- to everywhere! I even passed applications to companies that wasn't nursing related but still no calls.

I did get a call from one hospital once. I feel like it was a miracle they even got my application since I didn't pass one to them. What I did do was pass an application to their sister hospital months ago.

Anyway, they called me up and scheduled me for an exam. I texted my friends who may have taken the entrance exam to that particular hospital and asked for some advice. They all said the same thing. It was hard and it was full of computations.

I know I should have studied a whole lot for that exam. It was even a miracle that I got called. But I guess I wasted that opportunity. I don't know.

The days prior to the exam were not as smooth as I had hoped. There were a lot of things in my mind, which I so unfortunately allowed to bother me and lose focus on the upcoming exam.

Oh well. What's done is done. I just hope that I get called for an interview. I really, really do hope with all my heart that I get called.

Now, I'm still looking for a Job.
