The end of the bridge


Ate Chris finished her bridging course on Friday (she'll get her registration in 2 to 4 weeks). It's been a very good experience for her. She got exposure to resthome and hospital enviroments, had a lot of sleep-deprived days to meet homework deadlines, met a lot of pinoys in her class (she's now very good friends with most of them), experience the different cultures in Auckland, and so much more.

Today she has started applying for job. She's submitted her CV for different nursing areas which she thinks she's prepared to handle. But I advised her against wards with A H1N1. North Shore Hospital is her preferred workplace. Lapit lang kasi sa amin.

Hopefully, job hunting and work permit application would be hassle-free. She misses her kids so much.

HI Jinkee, love reading your blog. how's your ate doing, di naman siya nahirapan makahanap ng work? I ask dahil yung Sis-in-law ko is thinking of taking the same path. We're welly based. -Grace

Thanks Jinkee, super helpful. If you don't mind the question, how much were the fees paid to the school, abot ba NZD5k? - Grace

NZ$4450 ang tuition fee sa UNITEC. Meron pang babayaran sa school na insurance - $127.
