An Mission Of Becoming A Nurse

My journey to nursing began with my personal healthcare experience, and has continued to evolve since entering the nursing program at State University. My personal philosophy of nursing is related my life experience and my personal philosophy of life. Using reflection-on-action, I have begun to understand the influences that have lead me to nursing. I discovered client and family centered care to be an important quality when I look at the influential nurses in my life. To develop a positive therapeutic nurse-client relationship, nurses must integrate all 5 dimensions of the therapeutic nurse-client relationship into their practice (CNO, 2006). When it comes to providing client-centered care, the dimensions of trust, empathy

According to World Book Encyclopedia, the career of nursing has advanced throughout history. It has developed from the nurse been a housekeeper to a trained professional that could help the sick recover. Nurses in the past never went to a school, they were nuns or other women who provide care for the disadvantaged who had no family support. These women only had knowledge of nursing from what they learned from family and friends. Nurses were not respected in the early days because been a nurse was not consider a reputable career. A nurse’s job was to make patients comfortable in their final days. My research shows that Nursing before the 20th century was the darkest for a nurse; and her patient. During this, time people did not know the

We live in a world where the human race seems to be disconnected. Nowadays it feels that there are not enough people helping each other. I don’t treat life like a competition I look at it and I ask myself how may I help? What may I do to make this world a more suitable place for all to live a comfortable and peaceful life? I yearn to come forward and fulfill my role and contribute to our society in any way possible. Nursing is my calling for helping others. It sounds cliché, this I know, but it’s what I desire and what I decided to do with my body, mind, and soul.

As of 2008, there were about 753,600 Licensed Practical Nurses and 2,618,700 Registered Nurses in the United States (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010-11). In the year 2018, the LPN employment percentage is expected to rise 21% while the RN rate should be approximately 22% (U.S. Department of Labor, 2010-11). This may not seem that high, but it is, when one considers that the expected employment rate for a Dentist is only expected to be 16% (U.S Department of Labor, 2010-11). Nursing is a highly respected and sought after career because every person that enters this profession is able to make a difference and is needed by the general population for his/her skills and contributions to the medical field. When a person is contemplating entering

Becoming a nurse has always been an aspiration of mine, I’ve always wanted a job that uses my caring nature and becoming a nurse seems like the perfect fit. Any job can be rewarding but working in the medical field where you can help save lives, make differences and be supportive at a person’s time of need is at the top of my list when I think of a rewarding career. I am choosing this course because I love learning new things and with a nursing career no day will be the same as the day before, so you will constantly be learning new skills, plus there are many different areas of nursing that you can go in to, so this will enable me to put my skills that I already have in to use but also learn completely new things.

If I were unable to go to college I would look for a temporary job to make money. Hopefully, I would have my CNA certification and I would be able to apply to hospitals, nursing homes, or doctors offices where I could apply for a CNA job. I would continue to work as a CNA until I was able to attend college to further my education and job title. While working I would live at home so that they cost is cheaper and I am able to save my money to later go back to school and get a degree in nursing.

Growing up, my entire life I had one dream that would involve caring and healing of a human beings by becoming a nurse. I wanted to dedicate my life to warming hearts and leave my good impressions and touch beyond that would change people’s lives. Every journey comes with hardship that one most endeavor and strive to accomplish one’s dream. Coming from a refugee family and all the hardship my family faced, I’ve learned a lot and its made me realizes everything isn’t spoon fed too you. I’ve learned through the eyes of my parents that strength comes from within and the struggles you face. The struggles you face and conquer make you stronger and give you the power to push through and keep fighting with any hardship passing through your pathway.

Becoming a nurse is what I am meant to do. I am a very caring, supportive, and patient person. I try my best to help anyone that I can to the best ability possible. I have been a very hard worker throughout my years of schooling. My godmother, Aunt Mary, has influenced my decision on furthering my education to become a nurse. She is always patient and caring about all of her patients at the hospital. She is very supportive of me going into nursing. I am willing to work very hard and diligently as a nurse. I have always seen myself in a profession where I could help people out in any way possible. I am looking forward to be going into nursing school and learn all the things I need to know. I know it won’t be easy but I will work very hard to

When I first became a nurse, the floor I worked on was wonderful. Every nurse took the time to answer questions and didn’t make you feel stupid for your questions. But, over time these same nurses had a shift in their attitudes to new nurses. The floor was having a high turnover right and we always had student nurses on the floor. Some became down right mean to the new nurses and the student nurses. These seasoned nurses would either not answer the nurses or make a joke of them. The new nurses would only go to certain nurses with questions and if those nurses were not there they would just figure it out. I became one of the nurses that these nurses would come to. They need someone that they can ask question and not feel that they would

As a senior in high school, you have a lot of pressure to endure. You have the most important goal which is to graduate. Before graduation there are some things that need to be done such as applying for colleges, with a career in mind, along with applying for scholarships. For me, the career I want to push forth to being in nursing.

When people hear the word “nurse” it paints a positive image in most of our minds. Nurses are people who encourage others to live a healthy lifestyle and care for the sick. Equally important they provide direct health care for each patients. I didn't just wake up one morning and decided that i was going to become a nurse it took time. I first had to find myself and figure out what i was most passionate about..Growing up I always seen myself having a career that had a combination of medicine and helping others in my community. I am currently employed at the Heathers Manor working there has increased my knowledge and passion for becoming a nurse, each day i realize how much i enjoy giving back to others

It was the summer of 2009 when I first realized that I wanted to become a nurse. I attended a friends swimming party for her birthday. Her little brother didn’t know how to swim well and while he was trying to retrieve a toy in the deep end he started to drown. I was the closest to him and quickly pulled him out of the pool. We all stood around him panicking, not knowing what to do. In that moment I knew that I wanted to help save lives. God has a plan for everyone and fate has lead me here. I believe this is my purpose in life, to care for patients mentally, physically, and emotionally. I graduated high school a semester early to start on my perquisites for nursing.

I am thinking of when my journey started as a caregiver and for a long time I would say it started when I had my first job as a personal care provider for people with intellectual disabilities, but I am wrong. My journey started when I had my first child. As a mother, you have many roles to play, including being a nurse. When your child falls and skin their knees, you clean the wound and kiss their boo-boos. Or you are staying up all night when your child is running a fever and vomiting; you make sure you are right there with them with a cool rag on their forehead and a clean bucket by their bed. As the kids became older and able to do more things, my role as their nurse dwindled. Now they know how to mend their own wounds and get their

Many people today use the words career and profession interchangeably. Those two simple words have similar meanings but build upon each other instead of define one another. In fact, it could be said that careers may in fact lead to a profession. Nursing once started as a career and throughout the decades has grown to be a widely accepted and admired profession. The profession of nursing consists of specialized knowledge, a well-developed code of ethics, and the use of the scientific method. None of the above said skills are achieved over night. It truly is a journey to become a professional nurse.

Nursing is a hard and rewarding job from what I have learned so far. I have friends who are nurses and they work long hours but love their job. One of them is about to get deployed to Afghanistan to work in an operating room. She hopes she gets to sit around, because the alternative would mean that someone has gotten hurt. Troops know when they see medical personal that they have hope in surviving when they are wounded. I know this because I am a Medical Technician in the United Air Force Reserves and I hear it quite often. I want to continue to help others by becoming a nurse, one of the most trusted professions according to a 2012 Gallup poll (Newport). This paper is about my journey into the nursing profession. It is a reflective essay to address the following topics: life-long learning, spiritual formation, professional development, personal transformation, excellence in the profession of nursing and Christian nursing community/biblical worldview. I am no Florence Nightingale, who knew nursing was her calling but I do admire her commitment in serving the military and transforming nursing as we know it today. My goal for my future, is not to be well known as she was but to make a difference in people’s lives as she did by contributing her life to the nursing profession. Nightingale was a life-long learning who wrote books, articles and pamphlet during her lifetime.
