A New Look of MYPOVNOW.blogspot.com

After two years, I'm back blogging on this site of mine. I decided to make some changes on the theme that I used.

Simple yet elegant, that's a way to simplicity with beauty. LOL

It is easier to browse over the pages and a lot of spaces that could be utilized.

Fair enough and not irritating to the eyes. :)

Folders on Top

Folders, we often use these to organize and compile documents with proper labels as a school requirement or office document. But it is not only for those functions, I, for myself, use it to submit application letters and résumé to prospective hospitals for a job.

Last year, I am able to enter in a public hospital as a volunteer nurse, and I am surprised that female nurses use folders in a different way and not only for compiling documents. They make use of the white plastic folders as nurse’s cap.

Usually, female nurses in the hospital, especially in the ward, wear caps to identify them as nurses and be addressed properly.

How do they make the cap? It is simple like A, B and C. They only use few affordable office materials such as the white folder, scissors, and stapler or glue. The folder is then cut on some parts of it, then folds it and staple or glues it. There you go, there is a new nurse’s cap made out of a folder. If you look at it, it is cheaper, harder and will not be easily stained than a cloth made nurse’s cap.

As for some nurses, purchasing for a cloth made nurse’s cap is not budget friendly. Hence, finding creative ways to keep the tradition of wearing a cap continue, this one is surely a practical way, especially today that the people are tightening buckles.
