Delayed

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Its already 1 week and still we don’t have salary.

Traditionally, our pay is always delayed for about 2-4 working days but this time, its already 5 days. It’s not very unusual that its always delayed again its already a tradition, hahah but you know I really need money this time, my wallet is almost empty.  I planned to have a massage and facial tonight but unfortunately the DBP ATM is offline. A bank-manager friend of ours told me that "OFFLINE" ATM machines are usually due to less or no cash to dispense than techinical problems. So, there must be something going on with the hospitals budget. I don’t know if private hospitals experience the same thing. 

So, the whole day, I was stucked at the DMC Virtual Library and out of boredom of waiting for the salary, I finally formulated a title for my graduate thesis in Nursing.

Just taking a break at the DMC Virtual Library. This is my favorite place in the hospital because its clean and it has internet connection even Wifi. The aircon is also in full blast always so no more oily and yagit-looking nurse. During shift, I wan’t to go home to take a bath but its not allowed to leave my post. I hope that someway the nurses station will have showers for the staff. Hahah. In USA, do they have it kaya?

I really need to go abroad, di talaga mag yaman ang nurse dito sa Pilipinas, actually our rate is just P451.77 per day for 22 days so we get about P9000 a month excluding taxes. So, its really just enough for my needs like food. I’m a heavy eater this time because of work. Ive lost 2 kg since I started working as a staff. Now, Im at 81 kg.

OMG!

that’s unfair! health workers should be treated with much more esteem than this by giving rewarding them more in monetary terms.

e kung mag-welga ang lahat ng pinoy na health workers sa buong mundo at di magtrabaho ng isang araw?

anong mangyayari?

Well, that sucks. :) I hope you get paid already. Being delayed is bullsh*t. How ’bout you tell ‘em, you delay your work also for 5 days. How’d they like that, huh? :) Hehe! Yeah, better find a better job that suits you’re preferences or else you’ll get tired and bored.

ay oo nga…..

shower, paligoan, parang duna….ang nakita ko sa mga hospital diri, duna extra para lang sa mga nurses,doc. n working there….

abroad nga, malaki sweldo, pero lonely man kaayo….

lahi kaayo, diha wa tood money or gamay sweldo, pero jolly n lively……stress lang pareha ana, delayed sweldo.

my SIL, umiyak pa, hindi nagreklamo sa delayed sweldo, kung hindi sa wrks daw…..daming pasente, 2 lang daw sila sa station nila…..private pedi. daw,
pero mga istricta or garbosa daw ang parents….

hilak na lang daw siya sa toilet, para mawala ang iyang kalagot….ug kakapoy…

looy unta, pero ingon ko, abroad ka, daghan ka money, pero layo ka familya mo….mingaw kaayo diri sa abroad….kay tanan puro busy, walay mga oras…..dili pareha diha, maka lakwatsa or maka telebaba.

duna ka money, pero di man ka enjoy, palit nimo imo gusto, pero mingaw kaayo……

lahi gyd diha ug diri……duna money lagi….pero money can´t buy everything, bisan gani happiness.

importante, satisfied ug contento ug happy sa life……….

hala, sorry……..commentar nako.

dili tanan naa sa abroad, malipayon-….agwanta na lang……..

dili noon tanan, pero mostly….

pero aboard na lang, kay sigi man ka delayed diha sweldo diay…..lol

elow! nice blog! :) Wow, I really look up to registered nurses. Someday I’ll be an RN too hehehe. It’s so cool that you get to work at DMC like it’s such an awesome hospital!

One of the best in Mindanao I bet if not the best. Our Cagayan de Oro’s NMMC doesn’t stand a chance to the Japanese-inspired design of DMC and it’s very good facilities.

Anyway, keep up the good work! :)

oh yeah, DBP does suck! why won’t the government just give up and sell DBP to private firms so that it could be managed better and free from corruption?

Like DBP is not very reliable… palaging offline or busted ang ATM… geez…
