During the CNY season, I realised that a few of my relatives (both Mom and Dad's side) asked me the same question...
"Are you a senior staff nurse?"
"So when are you going to be a senior staff nurse?"
"Wah... Hospital send you to study so you can be promoted."
Honestly, I am quite disgusted to know that this is what they only care about. I don't really know why they are so bothered about how much I earn and my status. Guys, life is not just about being a senior alright. Promotion is good yes. But I think it is more important to see how you earned it, and if you really deserve it. Like if the work you produce makes you worthy to be a senior.
No doubt I will be a senior staff nurse one day. But that's not my priority in life. My main aim in work is to be the most useful staff that I can be to keep the ward running, to be involved in planning of various events in the hospital or support groups, to support my manager during audit periods, to give a good impression of the hospital to the public.
Even, my dream to be manager is because I wanna run a home when I get old(and that's because I foresee that no one wants to do this kind of "dirty job"). Not to have the power to order people and boss them around like I'm the queen.
I have nothing else to say... *disgusted mode*
