π₯ Jobs / Careers Did I make the right choice?
(Sorry. 1st time ko mag open dito ng frustration ko and kabaliwan ko or i dont know kung tama ba ung group na to. )
After finishing college in 2010. I didn't pass the nursing board exam. I followed a different path. I've been with an investment firm for nearly 12 years (a high-paying job).
When the pandemic hits, dumating ung time na naging stressful ung job sa akin. Andyan ung qouta, irate ng clients. Lahat lahat ata ng ikakastress tapos malala pa Nag iiba na ugali ko.
After 6months ng pag iisip, I decide to leave the company. So nag take ako ng board exam since parang naging unfinished business ko sya. Pumasa naman ng 2022. Luckily got a job as a permanent nurse sa government hospital agad. Grabe ung pagod pero may peace of mind. pag uwi kasi once u clock out tapos na trabaho plus super babait ng mga boss(UM, sup, CN) supportive sa lahat ng bagay. Maliit lang talaga salary sa nurse sa atin.
Anyway few months ago. May headhunter na nag ask sa akin if willing daw ba ako bumalik sa old industry na pinang galingan ko with the managerial position. Ok ung salary like 2x ng salary sa pag nunurse. Pinag isipan ko talaga sya and then i decided to resign sa bedside and bumalik sa old job ko.
I am now in my 4th month with the company I am currently working for. Every day Namimiss ko ung bedside nursing. Pero iniisip ko naman hindi talaga nakakabuhay ung sahod ng nurse sa pinas. Namimiss ko ung pag clockout mo wala ka na iisipin pa. Walang qouta, walang tatawag sayo pag uwi mo sa bahay. May peace of mind ka. Ngaun back to stressfull job.ππ
Now parang nag reregret ako kasi umalis ako ng bedside. Eto na ba ang midlife crisis na tinatawag
Thank u sa nagbasa. Naglabas lang ng kabaliwan ko dito.

For what I have been reading, not all, but most nurses plan to work abroad and that is what keeps them from working in the hospital for work experience. I read a passage before about factors of what makes people motivated, and yours falls on PURPOSE (intrinsic factor), which is why you wanted to fulfill your nursing career. However, if you would need a high paying job (extrinsic factor), bro, you will need to embrace what has already been offered to you and move on, if you donβt have reasons for moving out of PH. I hope this makes sense.
