My Career As A Nurse

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This question has always been asked from people wanting to know what are your future plans are. I have always pondered back and forth on this question. First, I wanted to be a pharmacist, then I wanted to be a dental assistant.For a while, I spent time researching jobs in the healthcare field trying to find jobs that I would be interested in.

Sitting along side the dentist watching him work on patient’s teeth would bore me. I wanted a career that I would enjoy for years to come. Now, I have made up my mind and I know for a fact, that I want to be a nurse. I officially made my decision to become a nurse my senior year of high school. I decided this would be best for me because the nursing field has several different specialties. I would not be limited to just one job.

I would have the option of becoming a geriatric nurse, pediatric nurse, surgical nurse or emergency nurse.

The normal range for high blood pressure is usually 120 over 80. Since she has hypertension, her normal range is 140 over
