It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Time flies, two months and two weeds has passed since I started Steemit. It all started when my Canadian friend taught me about Steemit. It was on my conscience that I had not introduced myself. Today, I will introduce myself.

Display of “the power of zero”

I divorced when my son was only 6 months. I decided not to receive child support from an ex-husband. I came back to my parent’s home with my son and raised him single-handedly. Before my son enters a kindergarten, I was astounded to look at my salary, 140,000 yen (about 1400 dollars per month). And I made up my mind to go to a nursing college when I was 37 years old. I resigned from the company, studied for 13 hours every day for about 6 months in order to enter the nursing college. I passed the college which pass rate was 16％. I did my best for my son. When income becomes zero, fight-or-flight response works.

I passed the National Nursing Examination when I was 40 years old. I started working at a hospital as a nurse. However, I was severely bullied at the hospital, being said “you cannot make even an injection even though you are already 40!” I bore up under bully, hearing that other nurses insulted me, saying “she cannot do anything even though she is a registered nurse.

Due to terrible human relationship at the hospital, I have a wholehearted intention again. I tried to become a registered nurse in America. I visited to New York. It took 1 year and 8 months to get CGFNS. I didn’t have enough money, and lived in extreme poverty, eating a banana which costs 27 cents, a loaf of bread I bought at 99 cent shop.

I came back to Japan after I realized that it was very difficult to get a working visa in NY. It’s a long story, so well, let’s not talk about it. I made my son graduate from the university, working in Japan. Now that I don’t have to make money very hard, I’m looking for my new way to go. After I have stopped working as a nurse, I became a nominal nurse. I lived a life full of ups and downs, and turns and twists in my thirties.

Thank you very much for reading this post through to the end.

See you soon.

初めまして。
早いもので、スティーミットを始めてから二カ月と二週間が経過しました。カナダ人の友達が紹介してくれたのがきっかけで始めました。自己紹介を書いていなかったのが気になり、今日は、思い切って自己紹介しようと思います。

ゼロのパワーを発揮

息子が生後６か月の時に離婚。養育費は一切もらわず、実家に帰って女手一つで息子を育てる。息子が幼稚園に入る前、手取り14万の給料に唖然とし、一発奮起して37歳でレギュラーの看護学校に入学。仕事を辞めて約６か月間、毎日13時間の受験勉強に耐えて、当時6倍の看護学校に合格。子どものためなら頑張れる。収入がゼロになったら、人間は火事場の馬鹿力が出る。

40歳で看護師国家試験に合格。晴れて病院に勤務したのはいいが、40歳にもなって注射一本打てない看護師だと、強烈なイジメの洗礼を受ける。国家資格者のくせに何もできないババア扱いに耐える。

あまりの対人関係の悪さに、再び一発奮起。ニューヨークに渡米しアメリカの看護師になろうとする。CFGNSを取るのに１年８か月もかかった。お金がなかったので、27セントのバナナや99セントショップの食パンをかじって極貧生活をしていた。

就労ビザを取るのが非常に難しいことに愕然とし、また諸事情により帰国。しばらく日本で働き、息子に大学を卒業させる。今は、子どもに手が離れ、新たな道を模索している。数年も看護師を離れているので、名ばかりの看護師になってしまった。私の三十代は波乱万丈であった。

最後前読んでくださってありがとうございます。

See you.
