Night duty

-
It's was a first night shift in 5 years since I left Japan. I just came back home from a nursing home where I started to work from this week.

I actually enjoy very much going back to work as a nurse again. I haven't done this for such a long time and the duty at the nursing home is different from that in hospital. I was lucky to work with the other experienced nurse who taught me through most of the duty very thoroughly tonight . The responsibility I have is challenging role for me. However, it is one of the phase that I need to go through, so I'm just going to enjoy the learning process.

Most of my friends(Overseas Qualified Nurses) who studied together to improve our English for nursing at TAFE two years ago passed the assessment to practice as a registered nurse in Australia, and they are working in nursing homes and hospitals. We only had one chance to have the assessment so we were always nervous to think about it and our unknown future. Looking back the time when we were so stressed, nervous, worried, cried, afraid, and disappointed, I can't help feeling that we all tried our best and supported each other by cheering one another, and lifting our spirits up.

I can't appreciate enough to my friends and teachers who brought me up to this stage. I am actually working as an RN now, and realize deeply that I really enjoy it.

Hope to get in touch with OQN friends soon, I 'm going to organize another OQN reunion in early July. Those of you who are going to have the assessment this year, all the best to you. Remember, now you have a lot of supporters for the assessment who can give advice in detail. I hope we all keep in touch via emails or my blog as I am trying to update work diary too. I hope you post some of your stories too!!

You can't tell who they really are from how they look or what they do, can you? People tend to judge others by their look and attitude. It's because really easy to see by eyes or hear. It's so visible and obvious. Attitude or saying in words could reflect what people think, but how many people are really doing how they want to do or what they think they wish to do. I am interested in how people really think. What would happen if all human-beings started to act honestly for themselves. Maybe it is the different from animal and human. Human have a capacity to lie themselves or hide true thoughts and act for other's benefit. Thinking that other's benefit is your gain, which, in other word, is LOVE. Maybe that the start of the development of community. Keeping harmony is the priority within the community. In American Indian culture, they don't have any law, in fact, it is not necessary. Having a strong tie in the community, it is fearful for individuals to lose t

Train journey

-
From this week, I started to travel to the massage course by train. It takes 45 minuets and about an hour from door to door. I found it very relaxing compare to driving up the mountain via high way. I have a lot of time for reading, sleeping, looking at the mountains and bush, and meditating which I couldn't have done in the car. I always feel an interesting thing about train journey. The time and space in the train is somehow different from that of outside of train, as if I am traveling time much faster than the outside world and I become an observer who is looking through the world. The windows seem to be a multi screen displaying people who are going to school and work, or endless scenery of the magnificent nature. In return, I like to see the moving trains from outside especially at night. At the windows, I see people who may be going back to home, each individual is doing different things; looking out of windows, chatting with friends, talking on the mobile or sleeping peacefu

worthiness Definition: noun 1.how suitable someone or something is 2.the quality of deserving respect or attention source: Cambridge Dictionary 1.The quality of being good enough; suitability   1.1 The quality of deserving attention or respect source: Oxford Dictionary When I am in crisis, question of worthiness always comes up in front of my existence. Am I worthy of existence? Am I worthy of keep existing? Am I ever be worthy of living? As long as I can remember, I have been feeling I have to earn to exist. I am not worthy of being this life. Therefore, at least, I want to make someone's life worthy, I want to make someone feel worthy of themselves. A part of that is my drama character, and another large part of that is because my brother passed away when he was 17 and I was 11. As I digested the fact of his death, I wondered why it is me still living and not him. Am I worthy of living? Why he is dead and I am alive? I wanted him to be
