Nurses, Look Down..
Who among you are familiar with this kind of hospital settings? Well, guess what? Most of us nurses! Eight to ten years ago, while I was in college, I was able to venture to different hospitals like Jose Reyes, QMMC, Ospital ng Manyila, Pasig Gen. Hosp, V.Luna Hosp. and a lot more. I have seen this situation a lot of times and it really saddened me.
I remember when I was a trainee Nurse in JRRMMC, there was this patient who can't even buy a single tablet for aspirin for his chest pain. A single tablet which costs around one or two pesos. Piso..
After that incident I started thinking, "Will I be in the same situation wherein I cannot buy a single tablet of Aspirin?" There is a possibility but I decided not to be in such situation. I am just an average student, no honor but never failed a single subject. I studied well, landed in a job. Unfortunately, because I was just a beginner, I do not have the idea on how to save my money. I was only earning 6k to 7k a month that I even needed to ask my parents for additional allowance.
Eventually, at age 23, my girlfriend got pregnant. It was a life-changing situation that really hit my head and made me think thrice before spending my money. I was scared that my girlfriend end up like the patient who cannot afford good hospital services. Good thing that we were saving most of our salaries & allowances so she was able to deliver in a good hospital facility and she delivered our first child safely.
So, do we have to save? Share your ideas and opinions. Let's learn and grow together.
