A New Brand of Work

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth. We are happy when we are growing.

It is not something I concealed nor denied. My retrenchment was a matter I have been openly discussing to the world sporadically. It has become an inevitable subject among family and friends. I politely told my brothers I will "rest" for two months before I hunt for another job. For the nth time, even before the expiration of my rest materialized, God made a way for me to wear my white uniform again.He didn't agree too for depression and sob nights to occur for my planned drama episode.:)

I was somehow giddily excited for this new adventure. I work now as a member of RN HEALS, PNoy's program for unemployed nurses like me.:) It stands for Registered Nurse-Health Enhancement and Local Services. Curious to know where my area is? Too far and I am still adjusting with the distance I need to travel- Sta Ana landia!Kidding!!:)

Havin' a Meetin'

Five of the six RN Heals who welcomed me were my former students.Isn't that nice? Tables have turned, they're the ones giving me the orientation, and their experiences so far, as nurses of our town plus their assigned barangays. The municipal health officers, public health nurse,the midwives and my good buddy Peng, the Medtech, made me feel at ease and eager right away.

Community Health Team Seminar with Barangay Health Workers (BHWs)

Say a little prayer.

My BHW team.



With Ma'am Nilda,our PHN.

There is no enormous effort for adjustment in this line of work if I may say so because the programs and tasks including the planning and implementation are similar with the Community Health Nursing subjects I have had in my clinical instructor era.I am in gratuity for that. I still miss my previous work,truth be told, yet I am in a happy state right now for this gift of hope for a brighter page in my little world. I am looking forward with zeal and zest in working hand in hand with my townmates and ka-barangays. :) More posts definitely on this whole brand of work.

Dream. Hope.Pray.
