Have you ever thought about what led you to the career you’re working in right now or even studying at this very moment? Was it a person, a certain event in your life, or even a school assignment that made you have an interest in the job? In my case, unpleasant events in my life made me open my eyes to pursue a nursing career after graduating from high school. It all began a couple years ago with my mother. My mother, similar to all the mothers out there, took care of her children, them being my brother and I in this situation. She cooked for us, cleaned after our messes, cared for us, and to sum it up she did everything she could for us. Until one day, she began to feel sick. She felt weak, dizzy, nauseas, and many more horrible symptoms. My family and I took her to the doctor and the doctor explained to us that she appeared to have problems with her cholesterol and her blood pressure. My mother’s “good” cholesterol seemed to be too low, while her “bad” cholesterol was too high. Her blood pressure was very low as well. From that day on, many things changed. My mother was not as living as she was before. Most of the time I saw her in pain, and we kept going back and forth to the doctors office. Sometimes the results would change, but not necessarily for the best. Her blood pressure …show more content…
At first I remembered them as just regular people doing their job. And like any other job, receive an amount of money for their work. But after looking closer into this career I noticed that the career is rewarding. And I’m not talking about their salaries. It’s rewarding because they helped a person through hard times. I can imagine the great feeling they have after seeing a person, whom they helped, leave their workplace with a better look on their face. Not only physically either but emotionally as well. And they not only help one person but many people in their
I have imagined myself in several different careers that have interested me as I've been growing up, from styling hair to being a fashion designer, and even a professional singer. Now, even though it is crazy to believe time has flown by so fast, I am at the age where I am deciding what I want to major in. Even though all of those professions I have listed above were very interesting, there was one job when I was growing up that I knew would be a stable and interesting profession: a nurse practitioner. I have always been interested in health sciences and seeing as though I'm familiar with a doctor’s office/hospital setting due to being born with a birth defect, I felt that nurse practitioner was the most suitable job for me. Nurse practitioner would be a good career choice for me because they are paid well, are in high demand, do many interesting things, and they can work in multiple different settings.
I have always loved working in fields that are considered “hands on”. I have always loved working with multiple people that come from many different backgrounds. I think having that around me, makes things interesting and helps me stay interested. I thought I had found my career choice for the rest of my life in nursing. However, life happens for people sometimes in a way you never imagined possible. In my situation, I became very ill during the peak of my nursing career. Due to this, working as a nurse was very hard on my body. I was advised by my surgeon and cardiologist that I should think of a career change or take my nursing career off the floor and start working behind a desk in the medical field. Working behind a desk did not appeal to me at all!

Nurses: they are one of a kind. In times of considerable hardships from school, I remind myself why I want to be a nurse as my motivation. In middle school, I chose nursing as my career path for various reasons. First and foremost, to me, there is no better feeling than the one that comes from helping another human being. I strongly believe that being helpful is my best quality and I often go out of my way to help anyone in need. Secondly, I know the amount of pain and sorrow that a person can experience when their loved ones are sick or facing death. I want to not only help patients get better, but I also want to offer a significant amount of emotional support to the patient and his or her family. Another reason that I'm dedicated to the nursing
I chose nursing as a career because I found the work challenging, exciting and rewarding. I feel my skills and attributes are well suited for nursing. My ability to sta...
I have always known that I wanted to help people and make an impact on other’s lives since I was young, but it took some time to realize that nursing was how I wanted to fulfill that passion. My dream to become a nurse came about during my last year and a half of college, which I can also say has been the most significant time period in my life so far. The first few years of college before this turning point reflects me as someone who was confused and in search of a purpose.
At the age of 6, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and became interested in the nursing field. As a kid, I was always happy when my grandfather 's nurse would come over to care for his wounds, because I knew that her good spirits and good care always made him feel better. I believe this is the reason why I did not grow up fearing the doctor’s office, instead I grew up associating the doctor’s office as a place that made people feel better. As a certified medical assistant I’ve had an impact in patient’s care and as a future nurse I want to continue to provide the best patient care that my grandfather once received.
University of Saint Francis is the right college for me and you won’t be sorry you picked me! Last year I had enrolled in a vocational class called Primary Health Care. In Primary Health Care I gained my CNA license and later got a job at a nursing home. Since then I have found a love in caring for people, nothing gives my heart more joy then being there for someone. Whether it be for daily care or someone just needing to sit and talk. Since then I have decided to further my medical education into becoming an RN.
Becoming a Professional Nurse remains a mystery up until this day. Consequently, the answer is still unknown. Furthermore, to figure out the answer why I became a professional nurse starting from the beginning is best. Hopefully, an answer will be provided by the completion of this paper.
Nursing is a profession full of changes and growth, and nursing is seen to be a career with multiple opportunities in a variety of options, whether it be working in a physician office, hospital, an outpatient clinic or in a patient’s home. Obtaining a higher level of education in nursing, has a significant role in the outcome of our patients. This allows nurses to perform as primary care providers when pursuing a master’s degree, become more sufficient critical thinkers, allows significant changes in salary, a wide variety of different career options and be more involved in leadership. Obtaining a bachelor’s of science in nursing (BSN) degree is important for an associate degree nurse to understand the effects it may have on their career,
Both my current job and are dream jobs are in the medical field they are very similar yet different. For example, my job now is a certified nursing assistant and my dream job is to become a registered nurse. Both jobs consist of taking guardianship of people providing hands-on work, comfort care, and compassion. My dream is to further my career from a nurse assistant and become a nurse that does more for people in the world.
It’s been my desire, longing for a nursing career since I was in my primary and secondary school. At the age of 12, I began to look after children and baby-sitting then, from there, I gained the understanding of how to deal with children. Nursing is one of the highly demanding careers that bring new challenges every day and it comes with various rewards and a real sense of job satisfaction. I chose nursing because it is a profession where you never really finish learning. It has been my dream job since my tender age. Seeing nurses visiting my school treating students, immunisation, teaching us about health and sexual health issues, this encouraged me. My goal and desire at that age have been to help people within the Health sector. That is how; I decided to go to college where I am currently doing my Access to Higher Education Diploma (Science), which involves Biology and Chemistry. I chose this pathway because I want to gain the relevant skills and knowledge of my career to be. As someone who wants to become a nurse, I found biology as an important role in the delivery of client car...
From a young age, I was drawn to the healthcare field, not because the amount of money doctors, nurses and other health professionals made, but because of the dedication and contentment I saw on their faces helping someone in need. Growing up everyone wanted to become a doctor or a nurse and as a little child being a doctor or a nurse was a profession many parents wanted their child to pursue as a career. Needless to say, I fell into that category because I had high hopes that one day I will become a nurse. However, that dream came to a halt.
I have always been told that I have a big heart because I am willing to take care of anyone or anything that I see. I would love to become a nurse because when I was around seventeen years old I had to take on the role of taking care of my grandparents. It all started in 1998 when my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and dementia. My grandfather had “sundowners,” which is a form of dementia. With this illness, a person is unsettled in their mind and body. They need to be moving and busy doing something to feel right. A few years later my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer. It was hard for her to do much of anything, with the house work and with grandpa. So this is when I began to help out more.
My reasons for selecting a career in nursing stem directly from my desire to help our prospering population and community. This career appeals to me because it embodies what I strive to become, a person of influence, a guide, a respected adult, a mentor, and a person that can be trusted and looked up to with great passion. Another reason for selecting a career in nursing has a lot to do with my current job position at Generations Elder Care. Working with the elderly community at this personal care home has enriched my life in many ways, including one for my passion of learning more about the nursing field. As I shadowed the nurses entering the facility I watched them do their assessments on the residents which has peaked my curiosity. I believe being a nurse presents daily challenges which are unique, interesting, and rewarding and that is another reason why I want to become a nurse. Knowing that I have helped someone in some way possible gives me a feeling of fulfillment and enjoyment that I never understood or had before. And this career offers just that, and that is exactly why I...
