I am at that age and stage now when I have come to terms with the fact that despite my best intentions of having my ultimate American dream soon, something gets in the way but I still hope to shorten the gap. Don't get me wrong, for the past three years, going four actually. I am still loving DXB. On the same breath, I was up for most of my credentials renewal (dha license, visa, emirates id, etc). Looking back, it gives me an intense feeling and sense of pride to be a Overseas Filipino Nurse. I learned not to question fear — if it’s there, it’s there. I will accept that. But I already know now that I can always choose to deal with it positively, and at the very least acknowledge it enough to propel me to work diligently at quelling it, in whatever way I can.
It is difficult to sustain a high level of pride though with the rumblings of irresponsible politicians. Room Nurse Mrs. Villar, seriously?! You might be sorry for your demeaning speech but we cant. I could go on and on with the overwhelming nature of our work but it all boils down to this. We cant afford to apologize for a mistake, it might be your life at stake. And I mean that literally and figuratively.
