Some types of nurse are not required to for associate degree, such as, nursing assistants or CNAs aren 't nurses and in a sense, they 're not but they are overworked and underpaid. According to bls.gov that nursing assistants or CNAs are the lowest of a nursing level”. Usually, you just need a diploma or GED to get a nursing assistant, it takes about 3-4 month course for higher income. My future career, I dream to be a registered nurse because this gives a chance to spread a positive effect on patients and my community. According to Bls.gov website that “RNs (registered nurse) is a nursing graduated from the nursing program that take one of three educational paths: a bachelor’s degree in nursing, an associate’s degree in nursing, or a diploma from an approved nursing program”. My goal to get the bachelor’s degree that would develop my critical thinking and nursing skills at a higher level. To get the bachelor degree, I must transfer to a university continuing my education. SUNY.edu is a website that provides me a lot of information about each college or university, so as the requirement to get there. According to onetonline website that “registered nurse must relate an on-the-job experience, an associate 's degree otherwise it would be difficult to be an RNs also have to be
The type of education varies based on the type nurse one pursues to become. Becoming a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or licensed vocational nurse (LVN) requires you to attend a yearlong educational program. This program is offered at technical schools, vocational schools, or community colleges. At these various programs, the student will receive lectures and hands on clinical practice. However, those seeking to be become registered nurse (RN) must receive at the least, an associative degree in nursing. After obtaining an associative or bachelor’s degree in nursing, the graduate will have to pass the licensing exam to officially become a registered nurse. Being successful on the licensing exam is required to become a registered nurse. Becoming an advanced practical nurse (APN), requires the student to obtain a Master’s of Science in Nursing. After graduating, the graduate will have to successfully pass the licensing exam also. The type of nurse one chooses to become dictates the type of education he or she has to
Many people wanted to be a nurse because they earn good incomes, but not a lot of them know how hard a nurse has to work or what she/he has to go through. My understanding of nursing is that it is not as beautiful as it seems. Each day, a nurse should have expected to encounter many patients, injuries, or even death. Within all the chaos a nurse must remain calm and capable of providing health care for patients. There is a famous saying, “being a nurse is not about grades. It’s about being who we are. No book can teach you how to cry with your patient…” Being a nurse means that one must have the heart and passion in helping others. Nursing school can teach students the skills required to help patients, but it cannot teach students to have empathy for the patients. The nurses’ role is more than just providing aid for a sick person, but being able to feel their pain and understand what they need. I did not want to become a nurse because it offers good payment or that it is a stable job, but I want to serve others with my
I was never one of those who at a young girl wanted to become a nurse. I knew I always wanted to work in healthcare administration. I will say my journey to become a nurse started after facing some challenging health and personal experience. I lost my father suddenly to heart disease at age 15. My father was my bedrock who at that time always wanted me to become a nurse but as a teenager I wanted to do my own thing. Not until I experienced series of hospitalization, one that told out for me was when I was admitted for 2 weeks in the hospital and I almost died. The nurses were incredible, they were angels at my bedside, they encouraged me, worked me through my treatment plan, and explained every detail to me. The nurses were the parents I did not have at my bedside for 24 hours. After discharge, I started to think about a career in nursing. Not too long after this occurrence, I started taking my prerequisites while in volunteered at Bellevue Hospital. After a long journey, I finally became a registered nurse.
Ever since I was a little girl, my motivation to pursue a career in the medical field was evident. While other children my age watched Cartoon Network, I found more value in shows like ‘Trauma: Life in the ER’ and ‘A Baby Story.’ It wasn’t until high school that I decided I would become a nurse, specifically. I cannot say that I had a revelation or a particular experience that swayed my decision. However, ever since I began pursuing the career of nursing, I discover each and every subsequent day that it is what I was put on this earth to do.

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
Nurses are considered the backbone of the hospital due to their hours of hard work and determination to help patients. Being a nurse is a great opportunity for people to show the world what they can do and to put themselves out there to make a difference.

There are many types of nurses but we will be focusing on Registered Nurses(RN) because RN’s are the main connection between the doctors and the patients. Registered Nurses have long hours, many daily duties, and even influence the other nurses by guiding them in their career. However, they are rewarded with a good salary, and the thought knowing that they saved lives that day.
Some career goals I have in order to become a member of the health care team would include graduating high school and college and taking any additional educational courses required to become whichever health field I decide to go into. I will accomplish these goals by studying, doing all my homework, making sure I get a nutritional diet, and getting plenty of exercise to maintain a sufficient amount of energy to perform these tasks. There are multiple careers I am interested in including Registered Nurse, Pediatric Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Military Nurse, and a Paramedic. I go back and forth between these careers all the time, but I know with the help of my friends and family I will be able to make the best decision. The three careers I chose to write about are Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Physical Therapist Assistant.
Growing up as a child, I had many struggles. From being raised by an aunt whom I did not always get along with, to not knowing my parents, and hating school, it is easy to say that my childhood was not the best. However, I always knew that I wanted to help people; to make a difference in people's lives. That led me to the decision to become a Registered Nurse, otherwise known as an RN. The procedures completed by Registered Nurses can be lifesaving. Before entering the nursing field, one should examine the salary and benefits of, educational requirements, the job description, as well as character requirements.

I have always had a passion for nursing. As a child, I watched my mother getting up early, putting her scrubs on and headed out the door for a 12 hour shift. She was always content, and at ease to go for a long shift and even overtime at times. I love the fact that after work, she would always come home, satisfied with the day no matter how hard it was for her. She would sit and tell my brothers and sisters how she enjoyed the conversations that she had with her patients and what impact she had on their lives that day. Listening to these stories as a child, I knew that I wanted to become a nurse and listening to the same stories and helping people, making their day feel better. I wanted to follow my mom’s footsteps. At the end of a long shift, it is a rewarding profession, knowing that I am saving people’s lives, making them comfortable when they are near of dying, advocate and teaching them. As nurses, we care for patients through illness, injury, aging, health. We also promote health, prevent diseases and teaching the community; that’s what I love about nursing. I believe that this is the right profession for me because I have all the qualities that a nurse should possess when

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.

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.

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...
