Nursing Career Exploration Ever since my seventh grade year, I have known what I wanted to attend college to be. Once I started my journey at East Carolina University, I became unsure of what I wanted to major in. After a lot of thought and research, I decided that I want to become a Registered Nurse. Growing up, I was the little girl who loved to watch Untold Stories of the ER. I always loved seeing the problems that patients have when they enter the hospital and how they are treated.
I would not give up my summer involvement at the hospital for anything. I chose this project because when I grow up I want to become a nurse, so volunteering at OVMC was a great opportunity. There was a health fair last year at the school; I met these two nice women that asked me I would like to volunteer at the hospital, and I told them I would love too. When my family and I talked about it, we all seemed like we were on the same page about it and then we filled them out and sent them in the mail the next morning. I got a call a couple of days later to come in for an interview.
I knew I wanted to be in the OR, because of that I started to take operating courses in college.” When she was taking the OR nursing courses outside of university, she realised how serious decisions are, because if a person make a wrong decision, it can affect someone in the future by affecting their health. When someone wants to be a nurse, they go through the nursing program and become a nurse at the end of the program. After they go into the nursing field outside of school, there are also other courses for nurses to become higher position
After that day I knew I would go into nursing. So, as a college student trying to become a nurse my passion and dream is still around. My mom is disabled
Nurses have the ability to set the whole mood for the visit. As a nurse, I would want to be someone who is able to be understanding towards any patient and any situation. I want to be able to make their experience better. I want to be someone the patient can confide in and feel comfortable with during their stay. Nurses play a key role in today’s society because nurses are the heart of our healthcare system.
I have chosen to start majoring in Nursing. My plan is to become a Registered Nurse, and specialize in Cardio Vascular. I want to I decided on this career because when I was in high school I took Med Pro classes which get you familiar with different kinds of medicine and different kinds of nurses. In this class we also had many guest speakers that came and talked to us about their jobs. I have always wanted to go into the nursing field since I was younger but this class inspired me to help others and get them healthy.
A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time. For the nursing field, it would be an excellent choice to begin taking medically-based classes in high school. For example, a patient care class would be a great introduction.
Christina Feist-Heilmeier, RN, beautifully explains what all nurses feel when they are called to their career: “Every nurse was drawn to nursing because of a desire to care, to serve, or to help." I deeply relate to her statement. The idea that I could change somebody’s life is incredibly enticing. Nursing is not easy, but it is not made to be. It is a hard path to follow, but the outcome is beautiful.
Autobiography My nursing experience and application of nursing theory is still relatively young. I attended Georgia Southwestern for my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from which I graduated in 2016. Prior to this I obtained my CNA license in high school which was my first introduction to patients. It was at this point that I decided that I wanted to provide quality compassionate and the best medical treatment possible to people. Since graduation I have begun to work at Houston Medical Center in Warner Robins, GA; and began nurse practitioner school.
This has influenced me greatly, encouraging me to go in to nursing and also to go in to a more specialized area. Volunteering helped me search my future my career until I was old enough to get my CNA and go in to the health careers class. A CNA is a certified nursing assistant. When I turned sixteen i applied for the CNA class. Three months later I became a CNA.
