Sucks when you're working your ass off eight hours a day, for just 7,000 pesos a month. It's below minimum wage, I know. What's even worse, is that you're a nurse earning that small amount of money. Four years of intense education only to be placed on par with a blue collar worker.

Well, that was when I was just starting out. Eventually, I got used to the pay, well, it was enough for me since I'm staying with my family. Oookay! What can I expect? I'm working at a government hospital in Manila. At this rate, nurses and doctors will be living off scraps in around... 10 years or so. For the love of God, this country is running backwards. Here's big middle finger to those seated in government ..|..

Now here's the best part. Some people... no, patients, can be real sons of bitches. Complain here, complain there, you're obviously not good enough for them. I learned here when I transferred from the O.R. to the ward. In the O.R., I was safe from the arrogant, self-righteous relatives who act as if they're better than you. Hell, if my license was as big as a fan I would've slapped them with it. Then, some of them will even threaten you. One of them threatened to report me to the director for being sarcastic, when in reality I was only suggesting to them to buy their own thermometer so they wouldn't have to share with the other patients. Fuck. I ignored the relative as he blabbered on. I'm a nurse, fuck it. I'm not a punching bag.

Dr COx was right. "People aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling."

Fire at me all you want, bash me, curse me for being such a mean, evil, grumpy asshole, call me the epitome of what a nurse should not be, but I don't care. I'm living my life, And I'm not taking crap from anyone.
