The perfect day would be becoming a Labor and Delivery Nurse. I am so ready to become a nurse because it is my passion to work with women and their babies. The day that I become certified will be perfect because I know I have worked so hard to get to this point of my life. The day I become a nurse, I would celebrate and go out with friends and eat as much as I want and laugh. I can see myself in the future as a great and productive nurse. I actually think that my whole life would be complete after I become a Labor and Delivery Nurse. I know that not all days would be perfect because life isn’t perfect, but I do know that I will be happy as ever and that is all that should matter. I also think the perfect day would be my first day on the job.
By becoming a nurse, an individual gets to share special experiences with a mother and her new child by helping them throughout the birth process. Nurses will make several bonds and connections with the families and newborns they helped bring into the world. Labor and delivery nurses will get to help care for babies, get good pay, and assist with the delivery. These life changing nurses get to assist with the miracle of life and help families grow
Today, my kismet, had other plans. A knock on the door resounded, followed by a heaving breath, the twisting of the doorknob, and a bang as the door shut. My eyes widened when instead of a nurse, an unfamiliar face burst into my room and my reality. Two tantalizing grey eyes peered into my own, a wild mix of fury and contention battling to surface. The latter claimed the victory. Opening a green folder, the boy steered his gaze on a stack of papers. He flipped through them until an aqua colored paper stood out to him, and ripped it from the folder. His eyes scanned the paper until he read something that turned his nonchalant expression,
This quote reminds me of my experience as a CNA with a hospice patient who always argued with staff and was loud enough to elicit complaints from the other patients. Although she was not physically aggressive, she would use foul language and would sometimes spit at staff. As her caregivers, we did not share all of our experiences with her daughter, a day shift nurse at the same workplace. She was the sweetest and most dedicated nurse I have known. During shift change in the morning, her daughter would talk to us to see how her mother did that night and would apologize for her mother’s behavior and thank us for our help. This went on for a few months and one night the patient used the call light so many times. My co-worker even counted; the
Don’t you ever want to know what it feels like to be rushing around your team yelling and encourage the mother to push her hardest, yelling their vital sounds? Well some people do, some people want to feel that adrenaline when they hear a woman is coming in and she’s about to give birth to her child. How would you feel when the family comes back to say thank you for saving their child after a difficult labor?
There are very specific special certifications needed to become a labor and delivery nurse that are available through the National Certification Corporation (NCC). Labor and delivery nurses are RNs who provide care to women during and after pregnancy. They take care of newborns and work closely with patients’ families and other health care providers.
Now that I am a senior at Hope High, I want to become a Nurse. I love the work that Nurses do in the medical field. I am full of laughter and smile. When someone is in need a hand I tend to help them with my best ability.
Christina G. Rossetti states, "For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands." My name is Alyssa Snedden. I am nineteen years old and work as a Nurse Aide for the Inn at Chapel Grove. As Hailey's youngest sister, I have always looked up to her. Hailey has always provided me with love and understanding; therefore, I shall do the same in return during this bump in the road. She has never been the type of person to do anything that would cause our parents disappointment or heartbreak. These past couple months have been hard on our family but at the end of
After choosing my career—Neonatal nursing. The next decision is which college I want to attend. I have had a few colleges in mind such as: Southern miss, William Carey, and University of Louisiana in Lafayette. I think that career day will be will help me finally decide on which college I would like to attend.
When working as a health unit coordinator some of my my duties is to transcribe doctor orders, process doctor orders, make appointments for clients, order supplies as needed. When I am working as a nursing assistant my job requires me to bathe and dress patients, take vital signs, serve meals, set up medical equipment, answer call lights as needed, observe changes in clients
Having been a certified nursing assistant for just about six years I have had many experiences and come into contact with countless people who have touched my life and inspired me to become greater; to become a nurse. Co-workers, patients, patient family members and my own friends and family have always told me to pursue a career as a registered nurse. A very special co-worker of mine, Kathy a registered nurse, inspired me every day I came into work. She always had a smile on her face, she was always the first nurse to rush to help, she would listen to the patients and take the time to talk to them, and she treated every patient that came on our unit with care. Kathy would also take the time to answer questions that any of the CNAs had and
Comforting and helping people before, during, and after a procedure is something that has intrigued me for a while. I’m relatively accustomed to the field of nursing, considering my dad has to go to the doctor for numerous checkups. Most nurse anesthetist work alone, without the supervision of an anesthesiologist, which is one reason why I chose to research this career. Nurse anesthetists, normally called CRNA (certified register nurse anesthetist), are the primary provider of anesthesia in rural America. In some states they are the sole provider of anesthesia. My initial resource for information about my career was the Mississippi Choices website. Next, I searched the Occupational Outlook Handbook website. Then, I conducted
Nursing is all I’ve wanted to do since i was 8-years old. I was the little girl who would pretend to be the nurse with a white sheet like it was my coat, and wearing my mother’s stethoscope checking heartbeats. My mother bought me a medical kit and everyday i’d check everyone’s heartbeat, blood pressure, and vitals. But at that age all I knew was i had to hold their wrist for a while not knowing what i’m feeling for, writing random numbers in a notebook, and putting my ear against their chest waiting for the “thump-thump” sound. They’d go along with me and I’d think to make the pain go away is to give it a kiss and a band-aid. Until my mom said “ Chanel stop using all the band-aids”. Then, I had to cut down on my practices.
I’ve never imagined myself actually taking a CNA class as a junior in high school. Since elementary I always said I wanted to become a doctor, and after maturing and researching how long it would take, I changed my mind. So therefore I set my goal to either become a Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner. When I found out I met the credentials for this class, I went for it and encouraged my fellow friends to join as well.
It was a Wednesday night and my mother had left for her job at Manor Care again. The house felt hollow, mimicking my state of mind. I was lonely and could not find anything to occupy my time. I did not have any siblings and I was left all by myself in our home. Before she left, my mother said to me, “Najee, this is only temporary until I become a Registered Nurse.” Although I was happy that my mother wanted to pursue her career dreams, for me, the nights by myself filled me with an unparalleled void. I had this lingering feeling that I was locked in a bubble, insulating me from the outside world. A once happy boy had turned into a sad child; I had lost my joie de vivre. I no longer had any positive emotions towards anyone or anything. As a result, my grades began to slip and my once stellar academic record turned into something that I knew was not reflective of the type of student I was.
Sometimes in life we are able to meet someone that challenges us to become a better person. I have had the immense pleasure of meeting Ginger, even if our time was short, 319 days. I am a better mother, nurse, wife, friend, daughter and human because of her. In July 2015, I quit my job as an OB/GYN nurse. My mother had suffered a massive stroke a month prior and I knew I had to find more time to help her. I quit my job without knowing what I would do for work, but knowing that being a licensed nurse, I would not have a hard time finding a job. I spent the month of July helping rehabilitate my mother.
