Many of the women in my family are nurses of some sort, so nursing is not some unfamiliar thing to me. Not only that, but I also get hurt often, considering the number of sports that I have played that put stress on my body. I have had to have countless MRIs, x-rays, and surgeries due to injuries or sickness. Throughout all these experiences, there were nurses that helped the procedure to go much more smoothly. I have been on the receiving side of a nurse’s care; I know how good it feels to have someone that put all their effort into caring for you and making sure that you are healthy. After experiencing this, I have decided that I want to be on the giving side of the care of a nurse. I know that already this project has impacted my life by helping me to learn how hard nurses have worked to get nursing to where it is now and how hard nurses have to work every day to fulfill the many duties required of them. While doing my final project, I believe that I will also be greatly affected because I will be able to actually serve other people; kind of like a …show more content…
Many of the people that know me know that I love serving people, and that I could serve people all day without anything given to me in return. I believe I have been called to go into the nursing profession, so I plan to follow that calling. Not only are there personal reasons for me wanting to be a nurse, but there is also an unending great need for nurses in our nation that needs to be quenched. (TOPNEWS) “With the population rising and with illegals crossing the border, there has begun a large demand for nurses and doctors. This has caused a shortage in nurses because nurses are loaded down with too many hours and not enough staff. We need to promote the profession of nursing and how important nurses are to the community.” (Leigh Ann Barbaree) Nursing is an extraordinary profession benefitting humanity every day, and it is exactly what I am here to
I could begin by saying that I choose nursing to help people, but then I would be following behind the other million people who say they chose nursing for the same reason. Even though I want to help people, I chose nursing because I wanted to inspire, to teach, to learn, and to make an impact on my patients, their families and also in society. I will not say nursing was always my first choice, but I ultimately choose nursing because nurses not only care, but they also volunteer despite their busy schedules, are constantly learning, and are always giving back to the community. The cliché for choosing a career in health care is a need to help people, but I wanted to do so much more than just help people. I want to make an impact on someone’s life. A lot of what many people don’t understand is that nurses aren’t just there to help the sick, but the title of nurse comes with an array of jobs ranging anywhere from caregiver to educator. I choose nursing because my philosophy, my values, and my beliefs, guided me to a profession in which

I started my Nursing career in India and then I came to the United States and became an RN. I entered Nursing with the thinking that Nursing is a profession that will always allow me to have a job and all my patients will get better. However, from my experiences I understood that Nursing is more than just giving medications, and it requires clinical competence, cultural sensitivity, ethics, caring for others, and life-long learning about others and the evolving field of medicine. Florence Nightingale once said:
I frequently find myself writing at work. I work at Intermountain Medical Center as a Patient Care Tech and as a Health Unit Coordinator. I often am writing for myself, writing to my coworkers, other departments and also to my boss. I write and chart in the computer and send a lot of E-mails and type on a lot of different documents. I have noticed that as I write the longer I have been in this current job the more comfortable I am with colleagues and boss. The writing situation really does have an influence on the texts I produce.
A nurse is often defined as “a person who cares for the sick.” Though this is true, nurse’s qualifications surpass this simple definition. Nurses have the abilities to deal with all different kinds of people in all different kinds of states. They treat the elderly, the temporarily ill, newborns, adults, the blind, the permanently ill, and the psychotic. They give care to people through grieving, birth, dying, illness, crying, pain, and loss. I want to be a member of the nursing field so I can assist others during their time of need and make an impact in their lives.
I wanted to talk to someone that had experience in nursing and interacting with kids, so on May 2 I asked my mom, Christy Kuller, a few questions. My mom is the charge nurse on the Wellness floor of Bridgewater Retirement Community, but she went to college to become a registered nurse. She worked at a daycare called Kid’s Harbor in Harrisonburg before she became a nurse so she has a lot of experience with kids. She said she really wishes that she could get a nursing job where she gets to work with kids. She also told me that when she was going to college to become a nurse she did clinicals, which is where she goes to specific places and experiences a certain job. She did clinicals at the pediatric unit of Augusta Health and Rockingham Memorial
Whether it's assisting a doctor during surgery or helping a patient out of bed, nurses are accustomed to giving of themselves for the good of others. In, fact sometimes a nurse's response to the needs of those around them seems so natural that people don't realize just how much they do. There are several ways that nurses make an impact on the profession just by doing their every day job of serving, inspiring, volunteering, healing, educating, assisting, supporting and encouraging. Nurses can also impact the profession by remaining current an up to date on technology, political issues and advancing their
This past summer, I was employed as a camp counselor for people with numerous disabilities ranging from the age of eight to seventy years old. Also, I am currently employed as a tutor for college students; I primarily tutor in the science curriculum. Because of these backgrounds, I practice essential characteristics that are advantageous to nursing, such as patience, kindness, adaptive styles along with other infinite traits. In addition, I have volunteered at a local hospital observing medical professions like radiologists and technicians. However, the career I was immensely influenced by were the nurses employed on the Med/surg floor as well as the N.I.C.U. Through this participation, I was able to receive constructive feedback from experienced
Although pursuing a career as a nurse was not something I had always dreamed of becoming when I was a kid, it is something that I not only aspire to become today, but am on my way towards achieving. It took shadowing various health professionals and volunteering for me to realize that becoming a nurse was the position within the healthcare field that I was most passionate for.
As I was growing up in Utah, I had a fascination of becoming a nurse that wore a white hat and helped in surgery like the characters in the hit T.V. show M*A*S*H*. I was fascinated with their abilities to help the wounded in the Korean War. I would stay up past our household’s normal bed time hour of 9 P.M. to watch the half hour episode with my mom about 2-3 times a week. Not only was the thought of becoming a nurse so appealing, but the thought of being in a foreign country during a war, helping people who were hurt, was very compelling to me. Mary T. Sarnecky, Ph.D, stated that over the three year course of the U.S.A.s involvement in the war, 1950-1953, the number of Army Nurse Corps officers involved in the action of the Korean War estimated
Have you ever wondered about what Registered Nurses have to go through to be able to do the things they do? Nurses go through a lot of schooling, criticism, and scrutinizing to be able to care for patients from pediatrics to geriatrics. According to Brittney Wilson RN,BSN, “Nursing is great for so many reasons, but there is one reason that means more than any poll results, amount of money, or job security: nurses make a difference”. Nursing requires a lot of patience, compassion and good communication to impact a life. Nurses are the forefront of health care teams, they assess and monitor patients to determine the actions needed to attain and preserve their well being. For an example, emergency room nurses intake and assess patients to divide
During my time at school, I was presented the wonderful opportunity with some of my classmates to attend a trip to an Indigenous community in Far North Queensland, to help serve, teach the children and provide basic care. This life-changing trip has fuelled my desire to help people, whether it is in an overseas context or in my community. As a result, I decided to take a step into being more involved in the wider school community as a youth leader. This consisted of developing leadership skills and a safe environment where other adolescents can connect with one another. Furthermore, it revealed to me that whilst my goal was to help others, I learnt that in a bidirectional partnership it requires the attributes of being humble and the eagerness
“Cough!” “Cough!” “Oh, I hope you are not getting sick,” says my mother. “Maybe we should go to the doctor’s office to make sure.” The doctor’s office was a familiar place for me while growing up. I was constantly dealing with sickness as a toddler. The first person I would usually come in contact with at the doctor’s office would be the nurse. They would ask me how I was doing and why I came in. I always thought it was neat how the nurse could arrive with my blood pressure and temperature. I would think to myself about how I wish I could be them.
Nursing is a promising career that offers many rewards to caring individuals. It is more than just a job that one attends day to day. Nursing is a career that kind people get in to because they are passionate about life and everything is has to offer. They care for people they have never met before in such a way that makes the patient feel comfortable and able to relax. In a way that makes it possible for the patient to recover from whatever they have encountered. If I am going to spend valuable time and money on education, I want to a job that I absolutely love. I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that my job is safe even when times are rough. Interviewing Jennifer H, a Registered Nurse at a local Banner facility really helped me get insight on what the position has to offer. I have encountered many people who are not passionate about their job and just show up for a paycheck; choosing a job in the medical field provides people with the same check, but also offers job security, advancement opportunities and numerous benefits for the employee and their famil...
I have always wanted to become a nurse since I was a little girl, seeing both of my grandmothers working in a hospitals and always helping everyone in need. My goals in becoming a nurse is just the basic foundation of just helping people who physically cannot help themselves. I want to be able to shed light in people's lives who are losing it because of their situation. I feel as nurses is the backbone in the hospital. The nurses are there day in and day out with the patients, holding their hands and walking them and their families throughout such a difficult time. Nurses are also their supporting the doctors and all other staff. I’ve found especially in these past few years that I want to spend my life helping others and that's what I can
