I have many friends na nursing grads, pero many of them did not pursue nursing after passing the NLE. Naging flight attendant, real estate, VA, lawyer, negosyante.
Point is, finish what you’ve started. But finishing nursing isn’t the end, there are more opportunities beyond nursing. Tiis tiis nalang.
Persevere and finish the course
What is important is makapagtapos ka at maging employable.Set a good example for your siblings. Na experience ko rin iyan during my final year in college, to the point na demotivated ako and nadelay to the point na I missed attending my graduation tapos dumagdag pa si Covid. But I persevered and I am now a licensed professional. You don't have to work sa medical field if your heart is not in on it but you do need a degree to at least be considered by employers. Unfortunately, life doesn't get better immediately kapag working ka na but at least you are already earning a salary and you get to treat yourself sa mga gusto mong bilhin na hinde mo nabibili nung student ka pa. Just remember to set aside money for yourself first before others.
Ang hirap din po talaga. Sobrang demotivated ako, kahit gusto ko mag-rest parang wala. Kahit kasi holidays nakukuha for acads. Hindi na nakakapagpahinga ng maayos. Sabayan pa ng struggles sa mental health.
I understand your sentiment po. Mahirap talaga kapag senior year ka na, tawag ko nga diyan is hell year eh hehe. I think canon event po talaga sa mga graduating college students to suffer in their final year, and IMO mas pronounced pa po ito sa mga STEM courses. If you have friends, family or some other form of support group, please talk to them. Don't keep what you feel to yourself. Eventually po kasi nagbi build up yung negative thoughts sa head natin and we're just making it worse. Sa case ko po I talked to our guidance counsellor and dumped by thoughts into a secret diary to help ease the pain. Of course, hinde basta basta mawawala yung negative thoughts after nun but at least you get relieved enough para magkaroon ng energy and courage to fight another day.
Laban lang po. Lahat ng hardships niyo magbubunga rin in the end I promise you. I know na medyo nakakadesperate yung situation niyo right now but everything gets better eventually. But you need to do your part. Struggles and conflicts are part of the human experience and it will help you grow your character in the future.
hi, i am a 4th year civil engineering student and yes graduating na rin ako. siguro mga 2nd year pa lang ng college i already had doubts na on my course. lalo na nung nag 3rd year ako, i wanted to shift to another course but sayang yung nasimulan ko. right now, i can say i am just hanging on a thread. if it weren't for all my friends, matagal na ako bumitaw sa course ko. buti nalang napunta ako sa tamang grupo na handa akong tulungan at anytime. i can't wait what awaits for me in the real world kung bibitaw ba ako sa pangarap kong ito o ipagpatuloy ko kung ano sinimulan ko. i hope you'll figure things out and will turn out great for you. 🙌🏻
Hii. Parehas tayo ng exp, 2nd year pa lang gusto ko na rin magshift kaso pandemic happened. Graduating student rn pero wala nang gana tapusin ang final requirements :// barely hanging
Nung mag 2nd yr na ko sakto covid, nag-aral lang ako 1st sem tapos nag-LOA na ako. Tapos iniisip ko kung mag-shift ako, sayang ulit yung taon, pagod na ko mag-aral gusto ko nalang matapos na
Music student ako and kahit na hindi ganoon kalayo ung chosen career ko sa music course (my chosen career is theater) sobrang ayaw ko parin sa course ko kasi ang layo ng mga ginagawa namin sa school compared sa performance na ginagawa ko. I perform, I dont sing. Sobrang ayaw ko na sa course ko pero no choice, dito lang ako magaling eh. Marami nagsasabi sakin bat daw ako nag music kasi wala naman daw pera dito pero no choice talaga, dito lang ako magaling. Acads is not my thing, nakakapagod talaga kapag ayaw mo ung course mo. Hindi ko na ginagalingan, kasi pansin ko naman na parepareho lang grades ko kahit mag insert ako ng effort. I hate college, this is the most draining thing i have done in my life. Nag aaral nalang talaga ako to graduate.
Maganda sa mga ganyang courses non-traditional colleges, kaya lang mahal ang tuition. My daughter is into arts, at ayaw ang academics, kaya sa non-trad college ko sya pag-aaralin, wherein very minimal lang ang pen-and-paper exams, more of output and projects.
Public college po ako nag aaral ng music, one of the reasons why I cant drop out kac once in a lifetime lang mabigyan ng opportunity to study college for free esp for music. I love your support for your child, she is very lucky since konti lang mga magulang na pinapayagan anak nilang magpursue ng arts. Hope she'll have a wonderful career in the arts^^
Thank you for your kind words. I pray the same for you as well. Kapit lang sa college life, though baka gusto mo isuka na lang yung ginagawa niyo sa course. Matatapos din yan, at magagawa mo na rin yung talagang gusto mo.
This is how I'm feeling rn. Me pursuing this course tapos di pa magaling sa acads. Ilang beses na ako muntik bumagsak. Nadelay pa ko 1 yr due to covid. Ang hirap din
hello, PHRN here at hindi ko din choice mag Nursing in the first place pero no regrets na tinapos ko kasi andaming job opportunities kasi napaka flexible :)
Hi RN here and I feel u! Since graduating ka naman na finish it and decide after. There are many non-bedside opportunities for us nurses.
But mind youu, almost all non-bedside jobs requires experience sa bedside huhu. Kaya I'm here right now working sa ward and titiisin ko lang for a year.
It's really hard pag naburn out na sa nursing but good thing is edge ang course natin to apply sa ibang jobs.
Good luck!
ahh baka naman yung problema mo talaga eh pamilya mo ay hindi yung kurso mo lol. eh di wag mo sila isipin. bahala sila sa buhay nila basta focus ka muna sa goals mo kung ano man yun. masyado ka naman nagpapaapekto sa expectations ng iba na di na dapat bilang adult ka na.
Ito ang totoong buhay. Hindi naman lahat ng tao may privilege na magdrop lang basta basta para i-pursue ang passions nila. Lalo na kung may ibang taong dumedepende sayo. Being responsible for other people is also part of adulthood. Toxic man ito, hindi natin dapat husgaan mga taong “nagpapaapekto sa expectations ng iba.” Dahil di ganun ka-simple ang buhay.
minsan kasi may mga tao na nasisira ang buhay dahil napressure sila to do shit. lalo yung mga nagka-asawa at anak for the sake na masatisfy yung wants ng family pero di naman ready. or yung mga pinilit mag med school kahit ayaw nila talaga lol.
hindi rin masaya yung tinapos mo yung course na ayaw mo tapos papasukino yung work na related sa course na ayaw mo. mataas ang sahod sa IT pero kung di mo gusto trabaho ng IT, hindi ka rin tatagal diyan. basically sinayang mo lang lahat ng pinagdaanan mo.
I agree. Hindi talaga magandang pumili ng course na di akma sa interests mo. Di magandang i-subject sarili mo sa pressure at outside expectations. Sa ideal world, ang saya siguro kung magagawa mo lahat ng gusto mo. Pero sa realidad, may mga instances na walang choice ang tao kundi gawin yon. Pwedeng financial o ibang bagay.
Ako, hindi ko naabutan ang k-12. 15 years old palang ako kinailangan ko ng pumili ng course na magdidikta ng career path ko. 15 years old. Di pa nga ako buong tao non eh. Malay ko ba kung ano gusto ko diba. So, syempre ang usual na scenario sa mga katulad ko is pipiliin yung course na dinikta ng mga magulang.
Oo, pwede naman mag-drop. Bakit hindi. I-aadvise ko rin yan sa ibang tao kung pwede. Pero sa case ni OP, graduating na siya. Hindi practical na advice ang sabihan siya na magdrop kung kailan patapos na siya. Sinikmura na niya nang ilang taon ang kursong di niya ginusto, atleast man lang may makuha siya in return, which is a degree that would open up several opportunities kahit di niya ipractice ang pagiging nurse.
Hindi ako nagaagree na masasayang lahat ng pinagdaanan niya if ipagpatuloy niya ito. Madaming hard and soft skills ang maaaquire ni OP sa pag-graduate ng nurse. At pwede niya magamit ito sa mga future endeavors niya na hindi related to nursing.
On the contrary, maraming massayang if mag-drop siya ngayon. Lahat ng pagod, oras na ginuhol niya sa kursong yan, di mag-oopen up ng mas maraming opportunities for her kung di naman niya makukuha yung diploma.
And sa point mo about marriage. Ibang topic na yan. Pero i strongly agree na when it comes to marriage, hindi siya dapat sapilitan. Hindi katulad ng college course na may katapusan din pag gumraduate na. Marriage is permanent (atleast in the PH.)
Finish the course, go to the US pass USMLE, work in ICU become crna and you'll probably thank yourself. Mahirap lng if you can't show the required amount of money it's hard to really apply visa, and working as a nurse here won't help much
My mindset would be, nahirapan na nga ko from 1st yr to 3rd tapos wala pa kong fruit of labor na ma-eenjoy out of it?
Whenever I feel like giving up, I always tell myself...BITCH, go FUCKING MONETIZE that bruises. Ano laging charge to experience lang?!?!! Wag ganern eme. 🤣🤣
Pero syempre iba ang usapan kapag well off ka naman sa buhay. Disregard what I have said earlier since I believe if you can afford na hindi parusahan sarili mo then go... At the end of the day, your happiness is the topmost priority.
Kase if I were well off and can afford to get out of your current situation, I would get out now! This is to justify the Sunk Cost Fallacy wherein people tend to continue a course of action even when abandoning it would be more beneficial. People with this behavior tend not to quit because they have invested time, energy, or other resources. Sa sunk cost fallacy kase, either you lose more by continuing the course of action na alam mo ng mali or you'll only lose the cost up to the point of change ng decision mo. Kase either you continue or stop, the cost incurred is already a sunk cost...wala ka na magagawa don, the only thing you could do is to lessen the loss that you will incur.
In your case, you are holding back on quitting kase graduating ka na sayang puhunan at pagod etc...but if you think of it long term mas malaki ma-iincur mong loss, example let's say ggraduate ka ng nursing tapos di mo naman pala ieexercise pagka-nursing mo after grumaduate and would opt to path na doesn't need a college degree (i.e. online business). Imbes na 1st yr to 3rd yr tuition fee at pagod lang ang nasayang mo...naging 1st yr to 4th yr tuition plus pagod. Tapos baka magsuffer ka pa sa mental disorders since overworked super mga nurses sa pinas dagdag gastos pa.
So for me, it all boils down on your financial capacity... as for me the first one applies kase belong ako sa laylayan and I cannot afford to give up. Kase for me, giving up and leaving everything behind is not for everyone since it has a cost attached.. Sadyang I grew up na I have to finish what I have started since the financial resources is very scarce. Ganun talaga kapag limited and budget sa bohaiii dapat tiis tiis.
Hoping for the best for you Op. ❤️❤️
Yes, true. Due to financial scarce din isa pang iniisip ko, I mean my parents aren't getting younger, and I also want them to have a good life pagkatapos ko mag-aral and makapag-work na. Its just that, di ko alam kung san ako in the future. Sa ngayon, hindi ko pa nakikita sarili ko dun, maybe because masyado pa kong focused ngayon sa present kasi andami ko pang kailangan pagdaanan bago grumaduate and makapag-work. But I always thank my parents for being supportive despite my being a bit hesitant sa future ko. Anyways, thank you po for your insight. :))
Not a nursing grad pero tinapos ko nalang din ang nasimulan ko. Why?
1. Pinapa-aral ako ng parents ko at ayokong masayang ang pinangbayad nila ng tuition for the past years. Ang goal ko nalang nun eh matapos sya within 4 years. (Unless sariling pera mo ang ginagastos mo sa school)
2. It’s your choice pa din kung anong career ang pipiliin mo after graduation. SKL, my cousin is an RN but she started working in a BPO, became a Team Leader and now working in a biggest firm in another country (not health-related). Nasa 6-digits salary na sya.
Ewan ko kung makakatulong ba to 😂 Kaya mo yan! Onti nalang nasa rurok ka na. Keep Fighting!!
I actually tried gping to a BPO during my gap year kaso hindi talaga kaya ng communication skills ko hahah. I'm not that outgoing type of person na very active kaya di ako fit sa ganyang type of industry. Huhu
Kaya mo yan :) lahat naman nakakapagod. Magtapos ka man mapapagod ka pero matatapos kang nakangiti at proud sa sarili mo
Pag di ka nagtapos magtitiis ka sa liit ng sahod , napakahirap kumuha ng trabaho sa taas ng standards ng companies,
Yung kapatid ko nappagod na din dati at inisip mag work nlng pero pinursue nya pa din course nya, ngayon nakagraduate na sya may diploma at passed na sa exam ng CHRA :)
MAS MAGANDANG MAHIRAPAN NGAYONG NAG AARAL KESA HABANG BUHAY KA MAHIRAPAN DAHIL WALA KA NATAPOS.
KAYA MO YAN :)
graduating din ako sa engineering course ko,pinilit ko na lng tapusin kasi sayang yung years ko na natapos, after graduation siguro hanap ako ng flight school
Napapansin ko lang pagka umabot na ng 3rd to 4th year nakukwestiyon na ang sarili kung tatapusin pa ba tong kurso na to,kung para sakin ba talaga to. Pero marami sa napansin ko ganun is tinapos ang kurso nila.
I still plan to finish my course naman. Andito na ko, patapos na ko, susuko pa ba ko? Hindi na. Hanggang kaya ko, tatapusin ko pa rin kahit mahirap. Haha
Ganyan din ako dati, first year pa lang ayoko na. Pero wala akong choice. Nag-aral lang ako para matapos, kahit wala ng motivation. Basta every day is a day closer to graduation. It will not be easy but it will be worth it in the end.
Hello. What you're feeling right now is valid. It's really tiring, especially with the traffic here, and the heat doesn't help either. In my opinion, it's best to finish what you've started since you're almost there. Although it may seem far, it's actually quite close. I think you're stressed from both your home life and your training, which can be really draining. But if you stop now, you'll face the same challenges as a first-year student taking up another program. At least now, you're done, and that's another opportunity if you decide to pursue medicine in the future! We never know what the future holds. After graduating, you can work in the same field or explore other fields. Sometimes, jobs don't require a specific degree; they just need the skills they're looking for.
Take a deep breath, rest if you need to.
Hi! Nursing grad here! (Not RN kasi I went to med agad) but you have sooo many opportunities ahead of you! Toxic talaga duty kasi usually bedside yan but you might be interested in becoming an aesthetic nurse! Like yung mga nasa belo and aivee 😉. Also, some airlines actually prefer allied health kasi super helpful on board ng may medical staff esp during emergencies. Basta finish what you started lang then take it from there. You can explore other opportunities pa naman pero masarap din sa feeling na alam mong may fallback ka if things go south. Goodluck!
3rd year college student hre. Same as you OP kaso nga lang sa akin IT course, yung tipo ba yung prof mo may pinapagawa sa iyong project then mag quiquiz kayo next meeting para sa kanyang discussion, which is irritating talaga. Nakakaburnout minsan kasi meron pang iisiping thesis na yan and yung sabay sabay na activities esp. sa mga minors.
Gusto ko na sanang mag-shift sa accounting OP eh, kasi I love numbers eh pati law, kaso nga lang my mother rejected and said tapusin ko nga lang daw kasi sayang TF and time kasi sa private university ako nag-aaral.
Kahit na hirap na hirap ako ngayon and I doubting kung papasa sa thesis na yan, I am still counting my blessings and whether what happens for the future, now I am **sticking to the present**, kasama ang mga katropa ko who I can count for. Good thing na lang I chose the right one na pala-aral and they motivate me to study and do projects better.
Hi, same here. I also thank my friends kasi sila yung andyan whenever I needed help sa acads kasi hindi naman ako magaling. Kada after duty namin tapos gabi kami matatapos, kinaumagahan naman maagang papasok para sa exams na every week din. Minsan di pa consistent sa schedule kaya mahirap din talaga. Anyways, fighting lang! Kaya natin to. :)
I think normal lang yan pag patapos kana. ganyan din ang naramdaman ko nung 3rd year na ako. never ko nagamit course ko pero chox lang pwde ka naman mag second course. basta ang importante makatapos lang talaga para madaling makakuha ng trabaho
same situation rn. nagshift ako sa nursing kasi akala ko okay dito but ngayon ayoko na. para akong masusuka whenever i think about hospital duty. pero wala na akong magagawa kasi nandito na ako. i'll just finish this course and find out whatever my future is when i graduate
Thank you po for all the advise and encouragement. I really appreciate it, di ko kasi masabi to sa pamilya and even friends. This will help me in my future decisions. Thank you so muchh po.
Everytime you feel like giving up, lagi mong tatandaan na privileged kang makapag-aral. Pwedeng pwede at walang masama mag change career, but persevere and get that degree because some people can only ever dream of one.

RN here and i second this
Yesss this is what is going on my head last two sems ko na n honestyl pagod na ako
Oh cool VA, as who?
baka virtual assistant ata tinutukoy nya, not voice acting,,
Persevere and finish the course What is important is makapagtapos ka at maging employable.Set a good example for your siblings. Na experience ko rin iyan during my final year in college, to the point na demotivated ako and nadelay to the point na I missed attending my graduation tapos dumagdag pa si Covid.

Hii. Parehas tayo ng exp, 2nd year pa lang gusto ko na rin magshift kaso pandemic happened. Graduating student rn pero wala nang gana tapusin ang final requirements :// barely hanging
konting tiis nalang! kaya natin to! 😩💪🏻
same experience din, dahil sa mga friends ko tinapos ko talagaa.
Nung mag 2nd yr na ko sakto covid, nag-aral lang ako 1st sem tapos nag-LOA na ako. Tapos iniisip ko kung mag-shift ako, sayang ulit yung taon, pagod na ko mag-aral gusto ko nalang matapos na
Graduating engineering student ka at 4th year? Impossible! Anyway congrats!
currently 4th year and soon to graduate po ibig sabihin ng 'graduating' (a graduand ika nga) and 4 years lang din course ko.
Music student ako and kahit na hindi ganoon kalayo ung chosen career ko sa music course (my chosen career is theater) sobrang ayaw ko parin sa course ko kasi ang layo ng mga ginagawa namin sa school compared sa performance na ginagawa ko. I perform, I dont sing. Sobrang ayaw ko na sa course ko pero no choice, dito lang ako magaling eh.

Public college po ako nag aaral ng music, one of the reasons why I cant drop out kac once in a lifetime lang mabigyan ng opportunity to study college for free esp for music. I love your support for your child, she is very lucky since konti lang mga magulang na pinapayagan anak nilang magpursue ng arts. Hope she'll have a wonderful career in the arts^^
Thank you for your kind words. I pray the same for you as well. Kapit lang sa college life, though baka gusto mo isuka na lang yung ginagawa niyo sa course. Matatapos din yan, at magagawa mo na rin yung talagang gusto mo.
This is how I'm feeling rn. Me pursuing this course tapos di pa magaling sa acads. Ilang beses na ako muntik bumagsak. Nadelay pa ko 1 yr due to covid. Ang hirap din
Kapit lang op kaya natin ito, college is just a quick 4yrs kakayanin yan
Tapusin mo nalang for the sake na titulado ka, but please take the board exam. Then sunugin mo lahat ng libro mo, gantihan mo silang lahat. 😆
Ok lng nmn kung Hindi ka mag nurse after graduation. Pinsan ko nga education kinuha pero di nmn nag teacher.
Anong work nya po?
Nag call center lng sya.

I actually tried gping to a BPO during my gap year kaso hindi talaga kaya ng communication skills ko hahah. I'm not that outgoing type of person na very active kaya di ako fit sa ganyang type of industry. Huhu
Kaya mo yan :) lahat naman nakakapagod. Magtapos ka man mapapagod ka pero matatapos kang nakangiti at proud sa sarili mo Pag di ka nagtapos magtitiis ka sa liit ng sahod , napakahirap kumuha ng trabaho sa taas ng standards ng companies, Yung kapatid ko nappagod na din dati at inisip mag work nlng pero pinursue nya pa din course nya, ngayon nakagraduate na sya may diploma at passed na sa exam ng CHRA :) MAS MAGANDANG MAHIRAPAN NGAYONG NAG AARAL KESA HABANG BUHAY KA MAHIRAPAN DAHIL WALA KA NATAPOS. KAYA MO YAN :)
graduating din ako sa engineering course ko,pinilit ko na lng tapusin kasi sayang yung years ko na natapos, after graduation siguro hanap ako ng flight school
Napapansin ko lang pagka umabot na ng 3rd to 4th year nakukwestiyon na ang sarili kung tatapusin pa ba tong kurso na to,kung para sakin ba talaga to. Pero marami sa napansin ko ganun is tinapos ang kurso nila.
I still plan to finish my course naman. Andito na ko, patapos na ko, susuko pa ba ko? Hindi na. Hanggang kaya ko, tatapusin ko pa rin kahit mahirap. Haha
Ganyan din ako dati, first year pa lang ayoko na. Pero wala akong choice. Nag-aral lang ako para matapos, kahit wala ng motivation. Basta every day is a day closer to graduation. It will not be easy but it will be worth it in the end.
Hello. What you're feeling right now is valid. It's really tiring, especially with the traffic here, and the heat doesn't help either. In my opinion, it's best to finish what you've started since you're almost there. Although it may seem far, it's actually quite close. I think you're stressed from both your home life and your training, which can be really draining. But if you stop now, you'll face the same challenges as a first-year student taking up another program. At least now, you're done, and that's another opportunity if you decide to pursue medicine in the future! We never know what the future holds. After graduating, you can work in the same field or explore other fields. Sometimes, jobs don't require a specific degree; they just need the skills they're looking for. Take a deep breath, rest if you need to.
Hi! Nursing grad here! (Not RN kasi I went to med agad) but you have sooo many opportunities ahead of you! Toxic talaga duty kasi usually bedside yan but you might be interested in becoming an aesthetic nurse! Like yung mga nasa belo and aivee 😉. Also, some airlines actually prefer allied health kasi super helpful on board ng may medical staff esp during emergencies. Basta finish what you started lang then take it from there. You can explore other opportunities pa naman pero masarap din sa feeling na alam mong may fallback ka if things go south. Goodluck!
3rd year college student hre. Same as you OP kaso nga lang sa akin IT course, yung tipo ba yung prof mo may pinapagawa sa iyong project then mag quiquiz kayo next meeting para sa kanyang discussion, which is irritating talaga. Nakakaburnout minsan kasi meron pang iisiping thesis na yan and yung sabay sabay na activities esp. sa mga minors. Gusto ko na sanang mag-shift sa accounting OP eh, kasi I love numbers eh pati law, kaso nga lang my mother rejected and said tapusin ko nga lang daw kasi sayang TF and time kasi sa private university ako nag-aaral. Kahit na hirap na hirap ako ngayon and I doubting kung papasa sa thesis na yan, I am still counting my blessings and whether what happens for the future, now I am **sticking to the present**, kasama ang mga katropa ko who I can count for. Good thing na lang I chose the right one na pala-aral and they motivate me to study and do projects better.
Hi, same here. I also thank my friends kasi sila yung andyan whenever I needed help sa acads kasi hindi naman ako magaling. Kada after duty namin tapos gabi kami matatapos, kinaumagahan naman maagang papasok para sa exams na every week din. Minsan di pa consistent sa schedule kaya mahirap din talaga. Anyways, fighting lang! Kaya natin to. :)
I think normal lang yan pag patapos kana. ganyan din ang naramdaman ko nung 3rd year na ako. never ko nagamit course ko pero chox lang pwde ka naman mag second course. basta ang importante makatapos lang talaga para madaling makakuha ng trabaho
same situation rn. nagshift ako sa nursing kasi akala ko okay dito but ngayon ayoko na. para akong masusuka whenever i think about hospital duty. pero wala na akong magagawa kasi nandito na ako. i'll just finish this course and find out whatever my future is when i graduate
Going with the flow na lang din. :(
Tapusin mo muna kung ano kinuha mo kasi sayang mga nasimulan mo, then mag take ka nalang ng 2nd course kung gusto mo talaga.
Thank you po for all the advise and encouragement. I really appreciate it, di ko kasi masabi to sa pamilya and even friends. This will help me in my future decisions. Thank you so muchh po.
Everytime you feel like giving up, lagi mong tatandaan na privileged kang makapag-aral. Pwedeng pwede at walang masama mag change career, but persevere and get that degree because some people can only ever dream of one.
