My Nursing Garage Sale!


Yeay! Who would have guessed that I would earn so much for my Nursing Garage Sale! Well I didn't get to take back the original amount that I spent in buying my books and other stuff but at least I get to earn something right? I'm hoping that nursing books in Canada is not that expensive. Besides it's better to buy new books that have updated info right than bring with me very heavy books that I will have to pay for if they exceed the baggage allowance given to us by the airplane company.


But my garage sale isn't over yet so to all people who live near me (Cagayan de Oro) please visit my Nursing Garage Sale HERE so that you can avail of the great stuff I'm selling at an incredibly low and reasonable price, hehehe.

I'm Loving Entrecard

I just love Entrecard! What is Entrecard? Well it's just one of the best ways to get connected with other bloggers and increase your page traffic tremendously! Entrecard works like leaving a business card into a blog/site that has an Entrecard widget and the blog/site owner then visits your blog and drop his/her Entrecard. It's like switching Entrecards (business cards if you want to put it that way).

Plus you have a great incentive when you drop Entrecards! Every time you drop your card or someone drops a card in your site you earn Entrecard credits. These credits can then be used to advertise on other blogs. See my Entrecard at the upper right corner of my blog. Notice the ad? The site owner paid me Entrecard credits to advertise in my blog. So I then use these credits to advertise on other blogs and this increases the chance that other bloggers can hop their way to my blog. Isn't that amazing?

I have spent several precious hours joining in blog directories but it is only Entrecard that had helped me increase my site traffic exponentially! So I invite everyone to join in and don't forget to leave your card on my site! ^_^

My Bro's Blog: The Fil-Can Boy

Boy I really slept late last night. I think it was around 1 am. And it's not because of late night partying and not even because of my blogging! Well it's somehow because of blogging but it's not my blog that I worked hard on, but my brother's blog! Well I have really no complains because like any good elder brother would do, I forced my younger brother to blog. Well there are many reasons why I encouraged him to blog. And these reasons are:
  • To aid him in improving his writing skills (to make him comfortable with the English language)
  • To make him stay put at home so he won't go out of the house that much (that is when he gets addicted to blogging)
  • To give his friends here in the Philippines updates onhis new life in Canada
  • To give him the opportunity to earn money while blogging (and I get 10% of his earnings hahaha!)
Hahaha! What devious reasons to make him blog hehehe. Well I think I did a pretty well job designing his blogspot but I made myself promise that I won't anymore help him in his posts and linking with people and stuff. That's his responsibility now as it is his blog. It's very difficult having two blogs right now, My Nurses Notes & Grim Angel, and I'm not going to kill myself by managing a third blog, my brother's blog: The Fil-Can Boy.

You might wonder why my brother's blog is entitled The Fil-Can Boy. Well I'm actually responsible for his blog title since my brother has simply no interest in blogging. It's entitled The Fil-Can Boy because a couple of years from now he's going to be a Filipino-Canadian and blogging may sure be a good way to divert his fears and frustrations of being an immigrant into his new home: Canada.

Oh yeah please do visit his blog guys and Please be nice to him. Please ask him too to exchange links with you. Hehehe. :)

Being a Medical X-Ray Technician

These past few days as I blog hopped through other nurse bloggers out there I found out that some of them are actually thinking of taking another job. This isn't a big wonder since being a nurse drains so much out of you, your physical, mental, and even emotional aspect are all exhausted. Even I maybe thinking of pursuing another medical career if I get tired of nursing (hopefully not).

But if ever I do get tired of nursing there is one job that I can see myself someday. And that is being a medical x-ray technician. It's quite fascinating how you operate these radiologic equipments plus those MRI and CT Scans. Being an x-ray technician is also less stressful and the pay is also very good! It's a good way to be able to work in the hospital as a medical professional without the headaches and stress that nurses and other allied health workers have to experience.

And I've heard that there are online schools for anyone interested in being a medical x-ray technician, how cool is that? Wonder how I would look like and be like if I was an x-ray technician? Great I presume hahaha!
