Choosing a Career

My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families cope with their disease. She has many responsibilities, such as making sure the patients knows how to properly care for ones self, and getting a sickly patient to their maximum state of good health. Although I greatly admire my step mom for her nursing career, my biological mother also has a pretty awesome job. She is a chef. She has lots of room to be creative, and has control of her kitchen.

To be a Registered Nurse I need to have the proper certification to do so, I will need to have a 4 year bachelor’s of science degree in nursing (BSN).

I believe that both of my career choices are something that I can accomplish and something I will enjoy. I think that I will make a great nurse, and it will always satisfy my want to learn new things. It will keep me busy, and I will love to help the people care for themselves, with assistance from myself. I think that if for some reason some event occurs that keeps me from becoming a registered nurse, then I will be happy to become a chef. I will love the creativity and the respect I will gain. I think both of these career choices will make me and others very joyful, and will satisfy all my families expectations of me.
