Nurse anesthesia interests me because of the tasks they do, the advanced education path they must take, and the history behind the profession.

A Registered Nurse can work in any age group or focus on a certain system of the body. My mother works in the health field as a medical transcriptionist. I became interested in the health field by her many stories she shared with me while she worked in the hospital. She taught me a lot of different things. My family history inspired me as well to join the medical field. My grandma and great grandma both suffered from breast cancer and my grandpa suffered from throat cancer. Becoming a Registered Nurse has been my dream for as long as I can remember. This dream became real to me when my grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in her life. I now have what drives me to be a Registered Nurse and to learn more about the career itself so I can help people out live all the odds against them.

As a kid, I recall my parents and many relatives frequently asking, "What do you want to be when you grow up?", and without hesitation, I would think of the coolest occupations. My answers would usually comprise of being a cop, nurse, astronaut or the President of the Untied States. It was difficult to pick one, as there were numerous jobs that held my interest. For some individuals, dream occupations turn into a reality. Often times, the professions we loved growing up becomes a fun memory in the past. Throughout my childhood, my parents valued the significance and importance of regarding and helping other people. Before attending college, I was uncertain of my career plan, however; was one thing I was sure of was: the longing to help, to teach, and/or to positively affect others.
When I was 6 I thought knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Even though I grew up surrounded by girls who wanted to be princesses, ballerinas, and pop stars I was sure in my decision to be a doctor. My grandma had told me stories about her experiences with school, and how she struggled practically all her life to obtain her profession. She was expected to become a mother or possibly be a secretary. This did not entice her, so defying all odds, she broke the standards and exceeded societal expectations as she obtained bachelors, and master’s degrees- becoming a registered Nurse Practitioner. Her incredible achievements had me seeking nothing more than to follow her footsteps in awe.
