Hello po, can anyone please tell me the bad sides or your unpleasant experiences of working as a community health nurse.

Like the “things no one talks about” 🥺
Gusto ko po yung real talk talaga, no sugar coating

I’ve been trying to find threads or posts related to this but wala talaga, I just don’t know if people talk about this career path or wala talaga syang bad sides?

I’m just really curious and gusto ko rin malaman on what to expect on this career.

Thank you po sa mga makaka sagot 🫶

Hii, i just want to share my story cause I’m really happy and thankful kay God🥹. He really has ways and plans for us. I also think somebody needs to hear this who’s experiencing the same situation atm.

Two weeks ago, I quit my job as a bedside nurse (I did not have to render) without any backup plans (cuz its my first job) kasi di ko na talaga kaya ka toxican ng workmates, it wasn't healthy na talaga for my mental health and na manifest na sya physically sakin nagkaka sakit nako. Days naman before I quit, I always cried myself to sleep praying to God. I asked signs if this path was really for me or not. Then days passed, He really sent me signs to let go of the job, the exact signs I was praying He’d give me if I was to quit.

Then yun, After I quit, I really felt free. I thanked God for letting me leave that job because it was slowly destroying me. I told myself I would rest kahit mga min of 2 weeks , detox from everything - socmed, friends, etc. I slept, spent time with my family, vent out to my bf, ate good food, basta I rested. I always prayed for guidance.

Then mga 3 days before my 2nd week of unemployment, I randomly tried applying for jobs, kasi wala lang, I felt bored and wanted to submit job applications lang, I didn’t expect for it to be this fast to respond. Nag walk-in ako in applying and really wanted to try soft nursing, applied as a clinic nurse near our home. Also tried to apply sa LGU namin as community health nurse. Then all of a sudden, the exact day of my 2nd week of unemployment, I got a call from both of the job that I applied for.

The first one to contact me was the LGU HR, they said that they were pleased to inform me na meron daw vacancy daw for nurse I, then I just have to wait until this coming July. Fortunately, I also got an endorsement letter.

Then later that day mga noon, I got a call from the clinic na inapplyan ko, I was scheduled for an interview that exact afternoon, I accepted it and went to the interview kasi I wasn’t doing anything naman and wala namang mawawala. All was well naman sa interview, and I think they liked me😊 Then they asked me if I was willing to start on Monday. I told them everything, naging transparent ako sa plans ko about just waiting sa LGU. They understood naman, and offered me the Nurse Reliever role until the LGU calls me. I’m starting tomorrow na in my soft nursing era☺️💗

some might say, “nurse reliever sa clinic lang naman”, better nalang din to kaysa tambay while waiting diba, atleast may pinag kaka-abalahan and still earning hehe😁

That day, I was so happy. All I remembered was Him🥺 God is good talaga, all we have to do is TRUST in Him.

So if anyone rn is experiencing the same situation as me. Just pray, mag sabi ka lang kay God ng mga problems mo. Communicate and Trust Him, he will do the rest. Laban lang po, and don’t lose hope💪

Hii, sa mga community health nurses po dyan working under the City Health Office or Centers. Kumusta po maging chn?

1. Fresh grad friendly po ba?
2. Pros and Cons as a community nurse
3. Toxic po ba?
4. Work environment? like should I be careful sa pakikitungo sa seniors or other superiors? May parang culture po ba lahat na ganyan?
5. Salary?

I’m really considering po kasi to take this path pero I really have no idea when it comes to the real work na. Binase ko lang po kasi nung college days pa, Forte ko po talaga kasi yung CHN among any other subjects so I wanna give this a shot.

Sa mga makaka give po ng advice and insights, it would be greatly appreciated. 🫶

Guyss please help me out, i’m deciding which opportunity to take. Ito yung situation ko ngayon, I applied yesterday sa isang clinic as a clinic nurse then nag call na sila this afternoon for an interview tomorrow and iniisip ko may possibility ma hire na din on the spot since hiring sila.
However, kaninang morning I just submitted my requirements sa HR ng City Hall namin, and I’ve managed to get an endorsement letter from our city councilor. Parang na fefeel ko kasi I have this good chance to be picked sa pool of applicants, eto yung catch, currently wala silang posted na Nurse positions for hiring ngayon sa city hall. Iniisip ko na baka mag take time like several months pa before ako ma contact ng HR or possible naman within a few weeks from now lang. Parang if ig grab ko yung clinic nurse opportunity para habang nag wawait ako ng call from City Hall ok sana if mag take several months, pero what if weeks lang yung abutin?
What should I do? Should I take the job lang ba muna while waiting or reject the job and wait nalang sa HR ng city. I’m really having a hard time to decide.
