Why Nursing?

Well, i have a dream. :)

SOMEDAY, I will be a nurse. IF not a nurse in the near future, then in the world to come. You see, a lot of people are discouraging me and telling me to shift courses, still be in a medical field but not nursing. There are 287,000 unemployed registered nurses in the Philippines alone,reported in the news. I thought that not everyone gets no job after calling themselves Registered Nurses. I want to be a nurse because I'm after the skills; I'm after the service I can render in the end times. See, it's true that my school, Adventist University of the Philippines trains students for eternity. Nursing is more than just the dollars abroad. My mindset is just to help regardless of the minimum wage, or even not being paid at all. If my patients suffer, I'm willing to sacrifice too. If my patients can't pay the bills, then I'm willing not to be paid, too. If you ask me where to live or where to get food without pay, I don't know. What I do know, one hundred percent is that God will provide.

Another dream is to write. Actually, it's to be a photojournalist. But to be one, I have to finish a degree. I don't know what that is as of the moment, but I'd like to pursue it someday too. If I get to be a successful nurse, and I've earned enough money to support my own; then I'm going to travel. Travel to different places, do missionary works, meet people familiar or unfamiliar, work with people of the same interest and love for service,experience different cultures, nurse a lot of people in need, photograph events,people or situations, write about all of it. It would be wonderful to have it all written not just an evidence of my journey, but a reading testimony of my work for the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:58 says, "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

If these two BIG dreams happen as a result of my faith and hard-work, I'd be one of the happiest,and most contented person on earth. I promise to use my wealth for His work; because He wouldn't have given it to me purposelessly. It would be the point of my existence, to be used by God in all ways I am capable of; and by His Omnipotence, even those I cannot do. This will be everything for His glory.
