You are the Captain of your own ship

I have been through one year for profession nursing program. What is that? after you graduated from bachelor of nursing (strata-1), you need to take one year for profession nursing program if you want to be a nurse, real nurse. If you do not take that, so you can’t be a nurse in hospital or lecturer of nursing. It is such a legalism for those. In that program, 99% of your time will be spent in hospital, what’s your job there ? it such as an intern nurse. You do like a nurse, you work in shift time and take care of the patients. And what’s about the 1 % ? that one-percentage you need to go to campus to do response (oral exam) and collect the report. We have several stage in that one year, for example maternity nursing, emergency nursing, community mental health nursing etc. and we have no holiday except just one day in a week (fyi : not always in weekend, it depend on the policy each hospital). Trust me, It didn’t easy to pass. I don’t know what make it so hard. Stage by stage, tim...

I would like to tell you about my first experience for applying a professional job. As you knew that I got the really strong desire to sign on as a nurse in ******** immediately. ******** is really extremely far from my house. Maybe it will take 1,5 hours without traffic (I Checked in my GPS). But at that afternoon, what I was thinking was just tried it. We can think about the problem later. It is no matter if I got rejected, as long as I tried. ******** is a prestige government hospital in Indonesia, I will be so happy if I can be a part of them. before, I just thought to apply for a job after my ners graduation, but my senior said that ******** is not always recruit nurse annually, it depend on the situation. Actually I don’t have the complete requirements, but I say it once again just try. I still have ALLAH who always give the best thing for me, Allah knows my struggling for this job. On Thursday, 23rd of July at 18.30, I begged to my mom to ...

I myself is a person who like challenge. I like to do something that maybe other person do not like it. When I was in SHS, my teacher offered me something. He told that Warta Kota (name of newspaper in Jakarta) opened a vacancy job to become an intern journalist only for student of SHS. The office is so far from my house, I used busway (kind of transportation in Jakarta) to the office in every week. My work is so challenging. I looked for interesting news among students and make it into an article. then I sent it to the office via email and also attached some photos in it. So what the kind of news? Everything! for an example such us Bedah Kampus news, art performances and exhibitions. For the first time, it was so difficult to make an essay or article. I had so many revise. My boss almost always angry with the quality of my writing. So, I learned little by little how to make an interesting essay. And Alhamdulillah I can pass the intern successfully. I got the certificate also. Yeay !! ...

In daily life, commonly used as calendar are Masehi method that reflecting from the sun rotation to the earth. Islam have our own that use moon sinodic cycle that called hijriyah calendar. You know that masehi calender has 366/365 days each year, but hijriyah calendar is shorter which just has 354 days each year. The differences for about 11 days. The number of days in a month is so variation, it depend on the position of the moon, the sun and the earth. One month can consist of 29 or 30 days. Reached 30 days, when the Earth is at its furthest position to the moon and vice versa. Reached 29 days, when the Earth is at its closest position to the moon. A new moon marked by the arrival of the crescent that called as hilal. If crescent or hilal is not visible on 29th days, the number of days in a month is rounded to 30 days. We do not have certainty rules in the month which has 30 days or 29 days like Masehi has. It all totally depends on the cycle sinodic moon. The name of months in hijr...

I have four months of ‘holiday’ while waiting of the graduation day in October. Before, I have planned to take IELTS English course. But lately, I turned around. I realized my self how about just focus in learning TOEFL. In my academic years, I have took LIA and course in Pare which concerned about TOEFL. So I did not think to take formally English course anymore (due to financial problem too). I decide to do autodidact in learning TOEFL. Yeahh.. I will devour greedily toefl books I have. Nyam nyam nyaam… Then, I want to learn how to cook. In this point, I want to have a capable to cook whatever correctly. Fortunately, my mom is a good chef (every mom do so :D ). So, she will teach me one by one of the receipts in every menu that served. My mom said to me “as a girl you can take an education as high as you want, but remember that you are a woman, you will marry someday (AMIIN) and you have to cook for your husband and your children how busy you are”. so I will take “cooking course” wit...

Today , I wake up in the morning and do all my activities (like I said in the previous essay) as usual but I have an additional activity today.. It all about cleaned my kitchen up. there was so messy, unorganized and choked – full. So I started off my day with cleanse my cook room up. Slow but sure, I arranged it with small thing like selecting the stuff, which one my mom sill want to use or throw away. Finally I finished it within two hours (for sure, it was tiring)! After that, I glanced plate cabinet .. hmm.. I thought I should tidy it up too.. so I expelled its content, cleaning the cabinet and washing the plates (and other equipment) then re-organized it. Finally it all clear in 12 AM. I have nothing to think but my mom. How great she is, doing it all alone without me or my brother’s helping in several months. It seems that i took time too long leaving my mom alone in the last five years. yeah, i always went home each holiday semester during academic years, even then i was a camp...

I have finished my nursing profession program since one week ago and I do not still have the fixed plan yet. My ambitious dream is continuing my master degree. (If later I am still single, I will apply for abroad scholarship. But if I already married, I will ask for my hubby’s permission). The current problem is I still need to increase my toefl score about 60 points (insyaallah). I asked my senior about that, mr. Azam, who continue his study in Taiwan. He said that if we greedily study, we can upgrade the score for about 30 points each month (this means I can gain 550 points in this september.. amiin) Furthermore, I have a little consultation to him : if until the end, I can’t achieve the minimum score that LPDP needs, how about if I decided to work first ? mas azam said “wah ndak apa dek irsa, malah saya kerja dua tahun dulu dek buat dapet beasiswa yang sekarang.”. then I asked the same question to mbak indri, ex-lecturer in PSIK UNDIP, she said the same. Mba ofvie, one of me senior...

Today is my fourth day without my brother in Jakarta. My brother is a sailor, he travels a lot. So just three of us here, they are my mother, my daddy and me. Before, sometimes I felt so annoyed with my brother, Ihsan. He was so lazy and choosey. He often woke up late and angry with me if I put something in wrong place even though he is not kind of a man who like cleaning home --, After he gone, I took care all of homework inside and outside home. In the morning, I delivered and pick my mom up to the traditional market, near my house. Then, I swept and swabbed the floor also washed the plates. After that I also cleaned the garden. In the afternoon I helped my mom to prepare for food and iron the clothes. Sometimes my mom asked me to do something which is usually my bro did such as lift the gallon up to the dispenser, hoe and bury the death animal and buyi for family needs. Wow.. I miss ihsan suddenly : ( I realized that he did so much for this family that I never notice before. I just ...
