Professional but Still Jobless

After taking the Nurses Licensure Exam last July and subsequently succeeded in passing after several months of waiting for the official results, I confess that I am still jobless. Perhaps it's from the lack of trying and for somehow enjoying my life as a graduate with all the time in the world to just relax and do the things I never get to do much when in school, but for months now, I am still without employment.

For one thing, my mom still sends me my monthly allowance and I can still pretty much just laze around and not worry about work and earning money and such without the pressure from anyone because I don't have any family here with me. I only have to worry about my daily consumption and other expenses, and my monthly allowance form mom pretty much covers it. Yeah, you can pretty much think that I'm being a lazy ass who still depends on the 'rents. I confess that it is absolutely true.

Though, in some ways I have done some worthwhile activities these past few months. I have done my Basic Life Support and Standard First Aid Training, an essential experience for a registered nurse like me, and have done some freelance jobs here and there. I have also enrolled myself for an Intravenous Therapy Training scheduled next week, so that's something to look forward to, productively.

But for the majority of the time, I have spent it having DVD marathons, watching TV shows and movies I didn't get to watch while reviewing for the exam, catching up on my extensive reading lists, and the occassional hang outs with friends. Perhaps I am taking this opportunity to savor the feeling of unemployment while I still can, because by next year I will be applying for different hospitals and scouting for opportunities to work as a staff nurse or a nurse reliever at the very least.

If you find my carefreeness unappealing, do spare me. I am just someone enjoying unemployment while I still can.
