My Superfund!

If I will retire in 15 years time I will be 51 years old. By that time I hope that my financial status is much better if not then I need to extend another 5 years working. Hopefully not. My superfund for my retirement is quite good and I hope that I will benefit it in the future. My employer pay 12.5% of my salary toward my retirement and I added another 5% towards it. And I'm thinking if I will have a fixed immediate annuity then I can get better money when I get old. Hmmmm. What do you think?

 

Useless Doctor

We have a Doctor that all nurses complained because he is useless. He used his very loud voice to scare everybody and pretend that he knows everything. But the truth is he doesn't and he is a lazy bugger! His assessment on his Doctor's note is so perfect but the truth is he doesn't assess patient. He only read the previous assessment and make his assessment from it. Also all that he needs doing he asked nurses  how and what to do. Hello!!! Right now our medical consultant had enough and he want everybody to put it in writing so that they can make action about it.

 

Dreaming!

I've been nursing for 16 years now. I am really that old? Unfortunately the answer is yes. My first 5 years was in Philippines then 8 years in the UK and 3 years here in Australia. I can feel the old age now. When I was less than 30 years old I can do 7 nights in a row without any problem with  3 small kids to look after . Now even on my first night I struggle! But nothing I can do. I still need to continue working because my kids need my financial assistance. Hopefully all of them will finish school before I reach 50 years old. That's the joy of getting married young :) By that time I wish my kids will have a stable job and just send me money for shopping! That will be fun. All I need to do is shop and check the
barcode scanner with everything I choose to see if they can afford it to pay. In my dreams! LOL

 

Second Job For Me

I have a second job in a 15 beds ICU 25 minutes from our place. I do two to four shifts per fortnight depending to my availability and their availability to hire staff for the day. Tomorrow I am going to have my orientation and I am excited not because of this but because I am gonna spend the day with my friend again. Yes i am back working with my BFF from UK :) And we already plan the rest of our day that after our study day we are heading to the mall and get something nice for us for mother's day. I am not sure what though but maybe a metal switchplate for me and for her :)

 

Do Re Mi

I want my kids to be good in music but what will I expect if me myself is not interested at all since childhood. Anyhow, maybe if I will buy them all the paraphernalia needed they will start learning. How about a drum and a Ghs Guitar & Bass Strings for a start? I want them to start now before it's too late. They are intellectually good but poor in music :(

 

The Nurse Is OFF :)


 

Carpet Cleaner Needed

My friend who is a nurse as well who is currently renting in the property where we live before is moving out in the city apartment where we stayed for almost 2 years. I must call all the company that I have business with to transfer all the letters here in our current address. Hopefully some of my deposit will be refunded. I deposited $1,760 almost 3 years ago. My friend said that she is worried I will not get it back because the carpet is very dirty with a lot of stain. That even if they will hire a carpet cleaners chapel hill nc, it is impossible to clean the carpet. I said it is already dirty when we move so they can't expect that after 3 years of rental we will return it back new.

 

I Want To Start A New Healthy Lifestyle

I am a nurse and I should know how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. But because I am lazy and not committed to it I am gaining weight. I suffer physically and emotionally because I feel that I am fat and I can feel that it is not healthy anymore because I am having short of breath when I exercise. I want to start a new healthy lifestyle but how? Maybe with  help of adipotrol I  can achieve it.

 

Web Hosting

I started this blog six years ago. My purpose is to write my everyday experience as a nurse. There was a time that I was addicted to it and can't stop making updates everyday. Now I only do it when I have free time or if I have tasks to finish online. Making money online now is much more difficult than before. As what I heard from my blogger friends that if you have self web hosting or joomla web hosting you might get more tasks or assignments and you will earn more. I will consider this next time when I have more time to spend online.

 

Happy Of My Job Now

I am so happy in the hospital particularly in ICU where I work now. Most of my colleagues are nice and even our ICU consultants have nice attitude and have respect towards staff nurses. Maybe because it is a government hospital. I did work in a private sector the first two years here in Australia and boy you can really see the racism that is widespread all over hospital. I am so glad that I got a job where I can be me and be confident with what I do because I am happy.

 

Hydraulic Hose We Need!


I am lucky enough to have a big house, with a swimming pool and a big garden. Good thing is my husband loves gardening. Yay! And yes we have a beautiful backyard. Thanks to him! Bad thing is our water bill is almost $400 quarterly. So we are thinking of getting a hydraulic hoses to connect to our big water tank so that the pressure is better and will work properly and hopefully we can use it to water plants morning and afternoon.

 

Hospital's Manual and Handling

Lifting is not allowed in the hospital these days. Manual and handling is a must for employees who are starting a job and re orientation yearly for old employees. And I can say that back pain is not a problem for nurses now as long as you will comply with the right procedures. I remember back in the UK I have colleagues who suffer with back pain and ended up having back surgery laser. I hope this will not happen to me...
