Pluripotent Nurse Glimpse on 2010


January of Major Change.I started working as a professional health specialist representative with my first local marketing agency. I am covering 2 areas in South Luzon Cavite and Laguna. It was a major major exposure in the Pharmaceutical Industry focusing in the Vaccines Business. This is also the month where I enjoyed my first National Conference in Balai Isabel Talisay, Batangas.

February full of Pressure
.Where I experienced disappointments with my performance due to the difficulty of our account.

March of Comeback.Last month of the first quarter where I started to regain my momentum and the drive to push more sales to the company. I started to focus on my TOP Doctors who are the major contributors.

April of Fame and Shock.The month where the flu vaccine was released. Doctors are on the rush to order because they were afraid of having no stocks. So many did there Panic Buying cons increase in our sales and of course hitting our target quota. I was able to sold almost 1.5 Million worth of vaccines during this month. Glad I was the top Performing PHSR in our team :)

Unexpectedly father came home from KSA to settle or to worsen? the gap between him and my mom. I was not happy at all for his early vacation. Why? Because of the discovery that he has a mistress abroad and this is also the month where I used to be the bread winner for them, at least I was able to feel it even for a couple of months.

May of Determination and Hatred
.Continuing a good performance is my goal. Yes again for the second time around with the help of the flu vaccine I was able to sold almost a million. Showcasing my talent and aggressiveness in the market is my focus. And for any business Sales is always the priority.This is the month where my polygamous father went back to work in KSA and possibly to be with his mistress again!

June of Multi-Tasking.Balancing my time for work, for my family and also for my partner during that time is the most difficult task that I experienced. Of course I feel like I am Superman during this month. Quota again with my sales and with my love-life? Uh-Oh.

July of Goodbye's
.Saying Goodbye with my first company in the industry and with my partner as well.Yes breakup due to family problems and conficts, I thought He will be there for me in times that I need him but its the opposite way. Accepting the decision was hard but I can't do anything about it, the reason for the break-up is that I was not able to give the favor to him. He wants me to be his leave in partner because he is alone in his house. Unfortunately it was against my family and God's will.

The reason for my resignation is that they were not able to give me my incentives for the past 4 months that I was hitting my quota I was not able to receive even a single centavo. So I decided to look for a better one.(Sayang mayaman na sana ako ngayon hihi)

August of Starting All Over Again.Start of my induction training with the multinational company, since I have experienced with Vaccines. So they place my name under their Vaccines Business also. It was a fresh start after break-up. I am enthusiastic and positive this time so I ended up to be the class Salutatorian after a month of training, I remember my high school graduation were I used to be our class Salutatorian as well :) And I started to date someone again to fulfill some of my physiologic and most of my emotional needs. hihi!

September of Disappointment Again?
.Yes the result of our agreement with the HR suddenly changed after the training, we are expecting to have a regular position but because the so called expansion was not approved they place almost all of us under the associate or floater position. Sad but in the Pharmaceutical Industry you must keep in mind that change is inevitable. You maybe transferred from one area to another or from one position, vice-versa. October of Hope I am still hoping that I will be given a regular position after the year ends, and Yes my boss called me one day just to say that I was chosen to be transferred to St.Lukes. Uh-oh I was a shock and struck by the news. I am really happy and excited for my appointment in our office, but Change made its way again, It was cancelled for some reasons. I know for a fact that someone is being considered for the post also. And I am correct with my instinct another rep was selected for that position instead of me. Well that's life full of disappointments. So i learned to lessen my expectations this time.

November full of Struggle and Stress.Struggle In our family because the relationship of my mother and my father is not that good. Because polygamous father is not giving what is right to us. Money matters a lot due to our liabilities. And so my mother is crying every night telling me that my father's focus is on his mistress. And my mom is right with her instinct. I text my father for the last time, I told him not to say bad things again to my mother. I am straight forward with my text and I include in it also about his hidden relationship with the mistress. So he called immediately and told me to stop saying those things. That was the very last time I talked to him over the phone. I didn't bother to text him again and even during Christmas Day. I don't want to communicate again with him.

Stress at Work Resignation is on my mind again for the second time around, for some reasons I decided not to continue working with the multinational company due to the inconsistencies within the organization and I don't see my self to be a part of that company for a long time.

Complex December.The last month of 2010 I will not forget you.

Thank you for all the hardships and problems that I encountered.

You made a better and a stronger person.


I thank God for giving me the courage to move on with life and to continue with my goals in life.


I would like to give thanks to my friends for their countless supports and words of encouragement.


I know that problems are temporary and God will not let me face those hurdles if I can't handle it.
So I say goodbye to 2010 and Welcome 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR BLOGGERS!

KEEP ON BLOGGING :)

Ang Jurassic na IT System ng PINAS!


Maihahalintulad ko ang IT system ng gobyerno ng Pilipinas na katulad noong panahon ng Jurassic.

Makaluma, mabagal, walang systema, puro problema at kung anu anu pa adjectives na panget na sa kanila na lahat!

Naalala ko ang sabi ng isang Board Member ng Board of Nursing noong ako ay nasa kolehiyo, bale wala ang PRC Modernization Act of 2000 dahil walang pinagbago ang PRC ganun pa rin mabagal, magulo at mainit sa bawat proseso na iyong pagdadaanan.

Lalo lalo na sa pagkuha ng license sa Nursing daig pa ang pila sa Tv show ni Willie!

Kaya't tinawag niya itong Jurassic Act. Mismo sa kanya na ito nanggaling.

Pero bakit nga ba tungkol dito ang post ko.

Dahil kanina asang asa ako na makakuha ako ng Driver's License sa LTO nagpatulong na nga ako't lahat sa driving school ko para mabilis kahit na mahal instant ito. 1 day process lang.

Pero kabaligtaran ang nangyari kanina OFFLINE ang LTO office! Pakshet! Meaning balik na naman ako bukas hay!

Ang bilis tumaas ng stress level ko dahil sa pagtaas ng aking mga catecholamine at norepinephrine.

Pero I need to be calm. Think Positive.

No choice!

Wala ako magawa that's life balik na naman ako bukas sana makakuha na ko ng licensya!

Worth the Wait


MOST REV. LUIS ANTONIO G. TAGLE, D.D

First time ko mag attend ng Misa de Gallo kanina ng sobrang aga dahil malamang punuan sa Simbahan.

Special kasi ang araw na ito dahil ang mag lead ng misa ay walang iba kundi ang mahal na Bishop Luis Antonio Tagle from Diocese of Imus.

Matagal ko na siya gusto makita ng personal at makinig sa kanyang mga sermon napanood ko lang siya madalas na nag homily kalimitan sa TV o sa Internet.

At kanina nga ay nasaksihan ko na siya. Alam ko hindi ako aantukin dahil masigla siya mag sermon at talaga naman may laman ito.

Nag focus syempre ang misa tungkol sa simbang gabi at bakit nga ba 9 days ito at hindi 7 or 8 na lang.

Ayon sa Obispo 9 days ito dahil sa 9 months din dinala ni Maria sa kanyang sinapupunan si Jesus. Tama nga naman si Bishop at bigla ito nagbiro na kung hindi niyo ito makumpleto ay premature ang maging kalabasan ang biro niya at bigla napatawa ang mga tao sa loob ng Simbahan.

Ikalawa punto niya ay tungkol sa text ni Jesus Christ kay Santa Claus, nagtatampo daw si Jesus dahil mag sikat pa si Santa Claus tuwing kapaskuhan tama nga naman siya mas marami ka makita imahe ni Santa Claus sa kung saan saan. Samantalang nakakalimutan na ng mga tao na si Jesus ang dapat na maging sentro at simbulo ng bawat pasko.

Ikatlo ay pakikinig niya sa Radio Station na may portion kung saan ay nag survey ang DJ kung anu ba ang mas pipiliin ng karamihan kung :

Kwarta ba o Kahon?

At siyempre anu nga ba ang pipiliin ng karamihan siyempre Kwarta! Ang himutok ni Bishop bakit kailangan Kwarta o Kahon lang dapat pagpilian samantalang si Jesus naman dapat natin piliin. Kung hindi lang siya paos at wala boses ay tatawag siya sa Radio Station at mag sermon hihi! Si Bishop talaga!

At ang mga highlight ng sermon niya ay talaga tagus tagusan na tumatak sa aking isipan. Dapat ako magpasalamat kay Jesus Christ siya ang sugo ng Panginoon na siyang nagligtas sa ating lahat na talaga dapat nating pahalagahan, mahalin at papurihan!

AMEN.

Unsecured Page and Some Goodbye



Lately wala ako post dito dahil everytime na i open ko si Pluripotent Nurse nawala ang connection ko ang weird sobra at pag i-open ko ang comments may lumalabas na unsecured page daw? until now problem ko pa rin un hay! Anu kaya may prob? site ko o ang laptop ko? Feeling ko tuloy may virus na ang site ko wag naman sana.

At dahil bakasyon ko na dapat more post more fun na hihi!

Miss ko lang ang mga friends ko Pediatricians,OB-Gyne,Family Med,at mga Internal Medicine Specialist.

Dahil nga nag resigned na ko so hindi ko na sila nakita pero syempre may connection pa rin ako sa ibang Md's ko na talaga naman masugid ko taga sunod (kapal) ung iba ka textmate ko pa ung iba naman ay ka peysbook pa! Pero mga thundergads na dokito at dokita wala na tamad na mag aral mag computer hihi! Carousel daw ang gamit nila noong araw. And until now may mga nag place pa din ng orders nila.

Pinakamahirap na ata ang magpaalam sa kanila everytime na aalis ka na at di mo na sila bisitahin syempre hindi ka naman pwede umiyak sa clinic nila at mag paka emo!

The first time na ginawa ko magpaalam last July when i was with my first company pero ang hirap pala minsan sobra attached ka na sa kanila na ang hirap nila i let go mas mahirap pa kesa sa lovelife hihi! Joke.

At eto ang ilan sa kanilang mga mensahe noong ako'y nagpaalam:

Pediatrician.DPPS

Nakakalungkot naman at aalis ka na ang bilis at maayos ka kasi kausap balitaan mo ko kung saan ka na punta ah. Keep in touch. God Bless!

OB-Gyne.DPOGS

Ay sayang ang nice mo pa naman na medrep at madali kausap. Anyway thanks at Ingat!

at ang pinaka touching para sa lahat ang text ng isa ko

Internal Medicine.FPCP.FPCCP

Goodluck ah. Your a very nice medrep naman eh. Wherever you go, your MD's and colleagues will surely love you. Good Bless You:)

Buti pa si dra. kulang na lang sabihin niya na love niya ko hihi! Thankful ako for them kahit na business lang ang pakay ko sa kanila may mga doctors pa rin na more than that ang i offer sayo hihi!

Ang Echoserang Accountant at Echoserong Guard



Galing ako sa bahay namin sa Cavite papunta Makati 11:0AM na ata ako nakaalis sa bahay so late na naman eksena ko eh may aasikasuhin pa ko sa Munisipyo that time buti na lang walang aberya in one hour nakakuha ako ng Police Clearance kahit na last year pa ung barangay clearance ko hihi! buti hindi napansin ng policewoman toxic din kasi siya marami nag apply for that thingy.

Sumakay na ko ng bus papunta Makati at dahil traffic at rush hour un 2:30 na ata ako nakarating ng Paseo saka kumain ng burger Mcdo un lang ang lunch ko nagmadali kasi ako para maabutan ang mga tao sa office.

Ang sadya ko lang naman eh matapos ang clearance ko as some of you may know na nag resigned na ko I want a clean and honest exit.

So there you go habang nagpapapirma ko sa iba't ibang personalidad sa office parang isa-isang natanggal ang tinik na nakabaon sa aking pectoralis major! hihi:)

Follow up na nga lang to dapat kasi nung friday nagpunta na ako para tapusin un kaso late na rin ako dumating naka out na ang mga VIP kaya't pinabalik ako ng HR kahapon.

Pero kamalasan naman may meeting ang Finance Department!!! at ang 2 last na mag sign sa aking papel na dala ay nandoon sa meeting na un. Stress! Kaya't naupo muna ko sa tabi ni manong guard!

May pagka mataray ito guard na ito ever since nag apply pa lang ako kala mo kung cnu makaasta to thundergad na ito. Feeling eh sobra taas ng posisyon. Eh hindi niya ko kilala kasi minsan lang naman ako nagawi sa office most of the time nasa area lang. Wala na sa akin ang Company ID dahil naisauli ko na kaya't labag man sa aking kalooban eh kaylangan ko na naman isuot ang Visitor's ID for the LAST TIME!!!(Ayoko na bumalik sa office na un!)

Labas pasok ako sa dept ng finance to check kung tapos na meeting nang kinuha ng guard ang akin attensyon at ang sabi:

Echoserong Guard:Sir bakit ba labas pasok ka dyan? Hindi pa ba tapos ang kaylangan mo? Ang dami niya dada!

Hanggang sa sumabat ako at sinabi ko sa kanya na:

AKO:I am a former medical representative of this company and I am here to accomplish my clearance with the finance department. Now can i come inside?

Echoserong Guard: (Silent mode) Cge Sir pasok na po kayo.

Gusto pa kasi ako mag english bago ako papasukin ng loko!

At hanggang sa matapos ang meeting nagkaroon pa rin ako ng aberya naman as Accounting Head kala mo kung sino magmaganda eh hindi naman kagandahan ito echosera na to.

I approached her and said:

AKO: Mam good afternoon. Narito po ako para mag pa sign ng aking clearance.

Accounting Head: Oh hindi ganun kadali ang pag sign niyan dami rin niya dada at echos tulad ni manong guard. Oh kailangan mo ito asikasuhin at papirmahan ung wala pa.
Hindi ko yan pirmahan hanggat hindi tapos lahat.

AKO: Mam ang sabi ng HR sila na bahala mag pa sign sa iba wala all they need is the sign from accounting department. Thank you.

So ako naman more ayos pa rin ng liabilities ko sa halos 4 months of working with the company, pero napakagulo pa rin nila hanggang sa ngayon hindi alam kung anu process when it comes to my case. Ang dami irregularities at discrepancy. Naturingang Multinational Company pa naman pero worst! Ayoko na hindi na ko ulit!

Sabi ko sa sarili ko matapos lang araw na to ayoko na bumalik dito! Hanggang sa napirmahan ng assistant niya ang clearance ko pero hindi niya ito pinirmahan dahil marami pa daw siya i note. Maupo na lang daw muna ako sabi ko

AKO:Mam malayo pa ang aking uuwian at hindi na ko makakabalik para sadyain pa yang kaisa isa pirma mo na lang!

Katapos tapusan i endorse na lang daw niya sa HR ang clearance ko at uwmuwi na ko.

Pero hanggang sa pagsakay sa ayala stress pa rin ang inabot ko haha...Punuan at wala ako masakyan na aircon bus papuntang Baclaran.

The Chronicles of Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader



Let's have a short movie review before i sleep.

I watch this movie kanina lang sa isang mall na malapit sa amin sa SM City Rosario, Cavite.

Several things I love about the mall

*bago tayo at medyo malaki ung space unlike sa SM Bacoor na medyo pang 70's na first mall outside the Metro Manila kasi nang itinayo ang mall na ito kaya medyo binubukbuk na hihi!

*mura ang movie dito tulad ng Narnia 120 lang unlike sa SM Bacoor na 150 or 160 ata.
at may mga scenes pa na parang may halo 3D kaya pinagtyagaan ko na lang kahit wala 3D glass lol.

*may Starbucks dito na bago bukas lang, 2nd in Cavite ito! First branch is in Tagaytay City.

So un tama na muna ang about sa mall let's talk about the movie.

Ang tumatak sa isip ko ay ang lines na ito:

Edmund: Lucy, have you seen this ship before

A closeup of the painting and the waves are starting to roll and on one side a tiny trickle of water forms

Lucy: It’s very Narnian looking isn’t it?

Sabay eksena ng pinsan nila chaka na si Eustace! haha winner sa pagkamareklamo ang mokong.

At Siyempre ang favorite cast ko sa lahat si Ben Barnes as Caspian ang hot niya hihi!
Siya lang ung medyo may dating sa movie pwede na rin si Scandar Keynes as Edmund cutie na rin kaso medyo bata pa kaya hindi pa ma appeal.

at best actor para sa akin si Will Poulter as Eustace panalo ang drama ng boylet na ito hihi! kahit na chaka pero winner ang mga eksena niya talaga! Convincing hihi!

at si Georgey Henley as Lucy pwede na rin ang pinakita niya.

Nag enjoy naman akong manood kahit mag isa lang at kahit naalala ko ang ex ko na manood ng pelikula sa sinehan na ito go pa rin! Happy Sunday kahit panu :)

The Resignation Day



This is it!

The long wait is over. Here comes friday the effectivity of my resignation!

Hindi ko alam kung matuwa ba ako o hindi? Napaka AMBIVALENT ng feeling!

Why? Payroll day ng company! nag text ang mga atat! with eagerness

"Pumasok na ang sahod sa ATM", and to their shock sobra ito!

Sobra ng 6,000. OMG!!! Sa isip isip ko bonus ito!

Pero syempre nangibabaw pa rin ang kagustuhan ko mag quit

At dahil nga mag resign na ako today I didn't expect na makakakuha ako ng bonus at masaklap pa hindi na rin pumasok last salary ko. Too bad lost na lost ang wallet ko walang pang movie, walang pang mall, walang pambili ng regalo para sa inaanak at walang pang gimik!

Pero okay lang naman,

Priceless daw ang freedom ko at stress free ang buhay sabi ng isang ka workmate ko.

At alam ko naman may kapalit lahat ng aking sakripisyo! Makakahon din ako sa hirap! lol.

Babangon ako at dudurugin ko sila. Joke!:)

this is somehow connected with my previous post sa isa ko blog.

Sodexo Gift Certificates



And because Loyal Smart Bro user ako for 2 years may GC ako from Smart. Kaso di lang siya basta basta reward na ibigay sayo. The condition is you need to extend your Plan Subscription for another 2 years! So parang hindi rin reward db?

Pero hindi rin ako ang gagamit nito. Sa ngayon ay nasa kamay na siya ng aking ina. Pambili ng grocery at handa for Christmas.

Pumayag na rin ako kahit sakin naka pangalan ung account siya naman kasi ang nagbayad ng bill hihi...

Marami options like Printer, Cellphone, Rebates and more!

Smart matalino tunay nga!

Holy Day of Obligation



Immaculate Concepcion and Our Church-one of the oldest and largest church in Cavite

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates belief in the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is celebrated on 8 December, nine months before the Nativity of Mary, which is celebrated on 8 September. It is the patronal feast day of the United States. It is celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church as well as a few other closely related Christian churches.

It is our mother patron here in Naic,Cavite and because it is a Holy Day of Obligation I'm on leave for work and I will celebrate the feast with my relatives and friends!

More food more fun. Need to watch out for my diet. Gouty might attack!

But before eating take the mass first!

According to our Parish Priest "Misa muna bago Mesa" with muching panakot phrase na pag di kayo nagmisa at kumain lang sakit ang tiyan niyo. Sa mga naghanda naman na hindi magsimba mapanis daw ang kanilang mga handa! Sobra strict talaga ni Father!

Amazing Race 17



After successful challenges, roadblocks, detours,and pitstops around the world here are the three teams that will battle against each other for the 1 Million Dollar!



Jill and Thomas
The COUPLE



Brooke and Claire
The HOME SHOPPING HOSTS




Nat and Kat
The DOCTORS

My personal choice is Brooke and Claire. Specially Brooke she's a super woman! Im hoping that they will be the first female team to win in the race!

Campaign or Fraud?



FRAUD ALERT: Apparently the group asking everyone to change their profile
picture to their favorite cartoon is actually a group of pedophiles.
They're doing it because kids will accept their friend request if they
see a cartoon. Nothing to do w...ith supporting child violence. It was on
that TV show that warns you about nternet frauds. Its on Tonights News.

Pass this on to everyone who has a cartoon profile picture!

Anniversary in the Pharmaceutical Industry!



Oh it's my 1 year na pala I almost forgot medyo late na ito post ko.
December 1, 2009 ako nag start sa pharma at namulat sa kalakaran ng gamot sa Pinas!

Anyway medyo vague at ambivalent ang feeling ko sa industriya pinasok ko. Should I stay or should I go ang drama?

Why? Well marami ako na naranasan na problema within one year of exposing my self in this business. Masasabi ko marami ako natutunan at nadiskubre mula sa pabebenta ng aking produkto.

I will not tell it here medyo magpagka confidential when it comes to my first company at controversial naman dito sa second one. Just to give u a clue the first one is a local marketing agency while second one where I am still connected, is a
multi-national(I.A Corp).2nd largest company in the World? but then i can't feel that I belong!(drama again)

so much for drama hihi...Saka na ko mag celebrate kapag maayos na ang daan na aking tinatahak.

At the end of the day, smile lang kapatid may bukas pa darating :)

An Oral Gel without product insert?!

Im a nurse by profession, i studied pharmacology for almost 2 years in the nursing school, now im a medical representative im still exposed to a lot of drugs from Vaccines, Pills, and other drugs from my company.

I accompanied my mom to have her check up with the doctor. She was diagnosed with HPN and NIDDM last year. So since then she is taking 2 maintenance drug. She is complaining about her mouthsores that doesn't heal, so the doctor prescribed an oral gel, she told us that it comes with a spoon so u can measure it before administration, when we buy the oral gel i wasn't able to check the packaging. When we got home there was no spoon and much worst, there was no product insert regarding the medicine. So i started to think how to apply the gel good thing google is available to help me verify the way how to administer the medicine.

What if google is not available or i don't have any background about pharmacology? Manufacturer should at least label the drug with instruction for the safety of the patients.

The Mental Battle Part II

The Right Company in The WRONG time!

being a representative from the marketing agency is not that easy u will experience a lot of problems as u go along, maybe that's the reason why i decided to move in to another company. But without me knowing the pro's and con's I made a big decision that brought a drastic change in my career as a PHR.I started my training last july in makati and the so called expansion gave us the notion of a good career in the future with the no.2 pharmaceutical company in the world. But as we go along during the training questions arises.Rumors start to spread in and out of the 4 corners of AIM,confirmation was done by the training managers. The expansion was NOT approved due to "lack of study"???. Everyone was anxious angry and emotions start to fill in. A lot of us was shock. What will happen to us? What is the consequence of the disapproval? What will the company do to almost a hundred of us that they try to hire? To be honest result was not good. After aspiring to be the topnotcher in the training then u will be given with the so called associate position? or even referring those who did not make it to a third party AGAIN? Fortunately I am one of the unlucky people selected to be given with the so called Associate Position if you know what it is all about u will not like it.

The Mental Battle

"Learn the Art of Waiting" I always say this quote to everyone when it comes to waiting for something important that is essential to career or lovelife. After joining the pharmaceutical industry September 2009, I learned a lot of things from product training, sales dialogue or the much more known as product detailing. I should say that training is very important because it is an avenue for us to growth. I stayed with them for almost 9 months after hitting my quota for 4 consecutive months and being the number one phr in our division I got nothing even a single centavo. Because of this I started to weigh things should I stay or should I go? Then here comes a new company opening it's door for me saying that we will give u the security of tenure that u need and all the benefits that u did not enjoy with ur previous employer. Within one month of the hiring process i decided to quit with the first one and started to join the training with the second one.

Competitors Day!!!

Most of the doctors here in lower Cavite were very loyal to the competitors brand ...Sad to say that it is hard to win them back to my product but this will be a challenge to me since this is my first work and I am excited about the thing ...On the other hand I am insomniac for 3 almost 3 days thinking on how I can sell my product to them or even have my first booking I am really crossing my fingers for that... So help me GOD...

Wednesday of Hope

I went to Silang first and had my first look in the area it was a bit easy because the center of the town is full of medical clinics where most of my doctors are residing. Fortunately I was able to cover the last one at exactly 1pm hoping that he will be the one to order my product as soon as possible ...Then I went to Tagaytay City I really love the perfect scenery of the Taal Lake it was really amazing how i wish I am residing in Tagaytay I love the weather ...Veru conducive for living ...But one thing that i noticed is the costs of transportation it was so expensive but it's ok ...the Way up is not that traffic like in Dasma ...Then 2nd to my last stop is Mendez where i gain nothing from my doctors lol ...I went back to DLSUMC to get the OR of my ID unfortunately it was the only day were in we are not allowed to cover so disappointing ...

My First Post For 2010 ( The Blessings of 2009)

New year start of a new chapter in my life...I am very thankful for all the blessings that GOD has given me during the entire 2009...First was when i graduate in the Nursing School and took the Nursing Board Exam, luckily I passed it and had my oath taking in SMX Mall of Asia...After that was the most difficult part of my life (my bum days)...Many of my friends would ask me were are u now? What are u doing? Where do you work? What is your work etc...Maybe the latter question is the most difficult to answer. Why? Because they expect me to answer them that I am working with a certain hospital or institution since i am already a license nurse...But things went really surprising,I got a call from a certain pharmaceutical company telling me that I passed their standards and qualifications for the training of a certain product by one of the leading multinational pharmaceutical company, of course I was shocked about it but at the same time thankful to GOD for giving me the opportunity as a Professional Health Specialist Representative or in short a Medical Representative. As the training goes by I was very ecstatic and optimistic on its result because we were under the Expansion project of our Company...We even had our Revalida and we are required to pass that final examination inorder to be hired and start working in the field ...Here comes the result after all the hardworks i passed the Revalida knowing that it is very difficult and complex ...I started my work in the field December 1,2009 at last I belong to the work force and as of now I am very excited this January because this will be a very challenging work for us. May the Lord Almighty help us with our target...
