mahirap din maging RN, kahit sabihin pang malaki ang salary, anuman oras ka tawagin di ka maari tumanggi. although for most people the amount could really be tempting.

Tama ka jan anonymous, not to mention the big responsibility na naka pasan sa mga balikat ng ating mga RN sa ibang bansa..however, i do believe lahat ng pasakit at pag hihirap eh may katapat na prize..so in the end, it will boil down to sipag at tiyaga talaga no matter how high the salary is.. right?

thanks for dropping by..
