After spending 2/3 of my life studying and I’m still can’t find work.. So officially I’m a BUM.. I can’t classify myself as a student though I’m busy reviewing for my exams.. Being BUM is not a thing to be proud of. Although I choose to be BUM because I can do whaetever I want. I can sleep ten hours a day and watch TV untill wee hours without worrying anything.. I can go to malls and meet my friends anytime without filing a leave of absence. I own my TIME! I feel that I’m free! I think this is one of the greatest time of my life.. I may or may not regret this but I’m certainly enjoying the life of being a BUM. It is not purely incedental but I’m loving it. I create my world..And the sad thing is a lot of people dont want to be BUM but they end up being BUm…why? think of thousands of nurses who were unemployed until now… think of those will be graduating and those who will be taking their exams this june and november.. think of those hospitals who exorbitantly charge newly-registered RN’s for the sake of training.. think of the indecisive government that is inutile in regulating nursing schools… think of the quality of nursing graduates.. think of those who choose to left for greener pastures.. think of the OVERSUPPLY of NURSES! so is it a sin being BUM? NO, absolutely NOT.. Being BUm maybe unproductive to some but wait is there enough space for us.. I’m not procastinating but this is a freaking reality…
Being a BUM is a product of unemployement or it may not be true to others..A lot of newy-registered RN’s were a bit hopeful to land a job as a nurse but end up as call center agents, medical representatives, and to name a few.. It is frustrating and a part to be blame is the government.. Somehow the corrupt- ridden goverment makes us BUM! i know u may disagree or agree with me but this is the TRUTH!
A lot of my friends are becoming BUMS because they can’t find work as a nurse. They are tempted to go to the middle EASt because of not so stringent requirements unlike here that we have to do training(it comes with a fee) or volunteers and to be train as IV therapist.. WHy do we need to pay for training where in fact we should be the one recieving allowances for an 8 hour apprenticeship? And the worst, if you don’t have a political backer or whatever connections say goodbye to your dream of becoming a nurse or having a stable/regular job as a nurse. Conections are important to survive in this country. We are engulf by this rotten corruption. This is a system that eatens up our dream…I wont wonder why a lot of nurses choose to leave than stay because this is utterly INJUSTICE..We deserve to be treated equally and there’s too much politics in our system!.. It sounds pessemistic but THAT"S THE TRUTH!
So don’t be ashame to be called a BUM RN…let us all hope that the government will care for us…..A $329 million question, when would that happen?
