Passion For Nursing

When I became a nurse I knew I wanted to work in medicine dealing with patients suffering with chronic illness; I suffer from my own chronic illness known as Beta Sickle Thalassemia. Throughout the years my interaction with the Nurse practitioner in my Hematology/ Oncology has been enlightening. It has allowed me to see how I can be the driving force and a change agent for patients that suffer from chronic illness just like my own. For as long as I can remember I have always had a natural compassion for anyone in pain or discomfort whether physically or mentally. This empathy and compassion has trickled into the care I provide for my own patients and allows me to provide the best patient centered care I possibly can.

Nursing has always been a natural choice for me. From the time I was a little girl I received satisfaction and enjoyment from providing care for my great-grandmother, ensuring my elderly neighbor wasn’t lonely, various forms of problem solving and all things science related. Compassion, care and critical thinking are merely

Passion is an emotion that one feels is indubitably enjoyable to experience regardless of the circumstances. In all reality, what is a passion? Depending on who is being asked, the answers to that question are undeniably distinct. The definition of a passion could be nothing more than a feeling, but it could also very well be a material object. Helping people has always been a passion of mine; therefore, I have chosen to pursue pediatric nursing as my career.

My philosophy of nursing comes directly from my desire to help people. I want to be a nurse because I enjoy being around people in their times of need and I get internal satisfaction by serving those that need help. I remember when I did some volunteer work for a hospital and that is when I realized my passion for nursing. I believe that the cure for many of the people's ailments is not just in medicine, it is in the care that they receive as patients in hospitals and their homes. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people's lives by helping them recover from their ailments.

My decision for choosing nursing as a career is not only due to my own health concerns but also from seeing and hearing the experiences of my cousin Chase. My cousin was diagnosed with stage 4 medistinial testicular cancer when he was 24 years old . This effected my family in an unimangible way, not only for his own diagnosis but for the fact that this was the third cancer diagnosis within my family in 4 years. Throughout the duration of his care and treatment the doctors and nurses were able to help not only him but also my family in a way that I’ve never seen before. From my grandfather and Chase being admitted into the hospital at the same time and allowing them to be in rooms close to each other to allowing his sister Katrina stay overnight with him on occasions. As Chase’s cancer progressed and he moved to different areas in the hospital and to other hospitals his doctors and nurses would continuely check in on him and the rest of my family, even going as far as attending his funeral and giving a supporting shoulder to my

Nursing is undoubtedly an altruistic career, in which we can deliver compassionate and unbiased holistic care to patients. I have been in the medical field for a little while but decided to become a registered nurse after losing my mother to pancreatic cancer in 2010. Like you, family is my priority, thus, hope to complete this program soon, and pursue a nurse practitioner program in hopes of making my own schedule, consequently spending more time with

In fact, there are several reasons why I chose nursing as my profession. First and foremost is that I want to focus on changing people’s lives (Nurse Journal, 2016). As a nurse, I would study the life's value when I would be seeing individuals struggling to remain alive. Since I am fully aware that each life's breadth is a gift, I would, therefore, understand this lesson further as I would be nursing various patients daily. I greatly respect human life, I possess strong values and I am compassionate for empathy and suffering, factors that have further attracted me to the nursing profession. Second, nursing profession allows continuous learning. As I like learning, I would possess unlimited opportunities for advancing my medical knowledge. As such, I would capable of choosing to work in various departments, train to become a medical assistant and as well enter the nursing management where I would grow and mentor new nurses through sharing my knowledge

I always had a passion for working in the medical field and becoming a nurse has been my dream career since I was a child. There are many people out there who needs to be treated well, and I want to be everything I can to give them the best care possible. I have always been captivated in making a difference in people’s lives and help them to be healthier, better, and safer. Since I was in high school, I have been taking a lot of health and science classes, and volunteering different hospitals multiple times, I am aware what it takes to work in a medical field and feels like this is the type of environment that I want to work at. I am now a high graduate with a diploma, and I have been working as a certified nursing assistant at nursing home

I have always known that I wanted to make a difference in this world, even if it is one person at a time. I have dreamed of becoming a nurse, instead of being just a dream it is now going to become reality. My passion for health is more than a passion it is my lifestyle, a lifestyle I want others to follow. I have started up a small running group within the community to promote a healthy lifestyle. I often donate blood as I know how important it is in the healthcare field. I have worked at the Community Health Center of Branch County for 5 and half years now. I absolutely love my job, I started out as a nursing assistant on the floor, assisting the nursing staff with dressing changes, doing vitals, obtaining different types of specimen

Throughout my 4 years at Texas Women’s University, my passion for the healthcare industry has grown. During my academic years of study, I developed a great interest in pursuing a career in the healthcare industry; specifically, in the area of physician’s assistant. The possibility of being able to delve into that industry as a physician’s assistant became more and more propitious as I continued my education. Being the daughter of immigrant parents who started a new life in the United States, I was given a great opportunity to further my education, which my parents, regrettably were not afforded due to the persecutions they endured as members of the Baha’i faith. Being denied their right to further their education solely due to their religion, forced them to move thousands of miles away. They left everything behind to give my sister and I a chance to become accomplished and successful in society without going through so much viciousness and violence. Watching them painfully endeavor to learn a new language, find jobs in a country where they felt isolated, and struggle to perform simple everyday tasks like paying the bills, I learned how to work hard. I learned that life is often unfair and in order to be successful, I must use my determination to push through obstacles in order to reach the level of success that I seek. As Mike Gafka once said, “To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can’t just accept the ones that you like”.

Providing a high and consistent level of care to patients and their families is something that I feel strongly about, and wish to become a part of. Becoming a nurse is far more than going to work and coming home again. To be a great nurse requires certain skills, some of which we are taught, others that we have instilled in us from a young age. These include compassion, sympathy and the ability to treat everyone as equals regardless of background, ethnicity or cultural beliefs. These are not things we are taught in education, but we teach ourselves and learn from others. The ability to provide high quality care should not be compromised. Having to watch a loved one deteriorate in front of your eyes can be heart wrenching, to be able to

My passion for working in health care stems from my desire for trying to create a positive impact and difference in someone’s life. Who does this more in the health field than nurses? I have had the opportunity to work as an EMT, a Personal Care Assistant, and as a Nurse Assistant. In these roles, I would always witness nurses leading and being the first to create a relationship with a patient. Creating a relationship with a patient is what I enjoy immensely about working in medicine. When I would work as an EMT I would always try to create some kind of rapport with the patient to help them feel more at ease and to show them their concerns matter to me, even if it might not be a life-threatening emergency, it can easily feel that way to the

My mother once told me, “If one does something without passion, it will not connect the way he wants it to.” Ever since I became interested with pursuing a career in nursing, I had been searching for nursing schools that possessed the passion that my mother often described to me. I yearned to discover a school where I could connect my passion for nursing with; to my luck, I had found the University of Pittsburgh. When I first visited, I immediately recognized the zeal that the students possessed towards the school. I vividly remember sitting in a lecture hall having conversations with nursing students who were enrolled in the program, and all I could sense was how enamored the students were with both the school and the profession. It felt as

I chose this major because I like to help people. I chose nursing because I want to save lives. I’m interested in nursing also because of my mom. My mom has a lot of health conditions include diabetes, fibromyalgia, asthma, and gastritis. I help my mom on daily basis with her conditions. I love helping my mom. To me, being a nurse is far more than a job or even a career. It's an adventure, a continuous learning process that I embark on bravely each day, in search of life changing events and miracles. I consider myself to be a compassionate person who genuinely enjoys helping people, to positively impact people's lives by making a significant difference while achieving a lifelong dream, because of its endless variety and finally, I believe this is the best career path for me.

Growing up in an environment where resources were limited, healthcare was always an issue due to the lack of medical insurance. I remember my parents would take extra precautions to prevent illnesses by providing home remedies. I always knew I wanted to help people who were in need. By seeing the strain an illness can put on a person, I decided to pursue a career in nursing.
