Personal Narrative: My Goal To Become A Registered Nurse

For my Project Life presentation, I chose to do mine on a registered nurse. The reason I chose to do mine on a registered nurse is because I love to help people. When I help people, it gives me a great feeling. A registered nurse is a nurse who has graduated from a college's nursing program or from a school of nursing and has passed a national licensing exam. In order to be a registered nurse you must have either your associates or bachelors degree. You can get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), if you want to advance in the profession. You can also get a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), it may lead to advances such as: Clinical Nurse Specialist, Anesthetist Nurse, Mid-wife Nurse, or a Nurse Practitioner.

Throughout life people dream of doing something that is amazing, and my goal is to do just that. Ever since I was a kid, I knew that I wanted to assist others and make an impact on people's lives in a positive way. Knowing this, I have always wanted to be a pediatric nurse to better the lives of children in need.

In order to reach one’s goal, the goal should be well defined, firm and the individual must be completely committed to attaining it. Pursuing a career as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner has always been my driving goal throughout all my education and training since the age of seventeen. Over the past three years working within a Surgical Inpatient unit as a Registered Nurse, I have become aware of the lack of community resources and access to health care available in rural areas. This has inspired me apply to the University of Western Ontario’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program for the fall of 2014. After completing my Bachelor of Science of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario, I am certain that no other

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, once said, “I attribute my success to this:—I never gave or took an excuse.” That is an outlook on life I try to live up to. I have had a few set backs in my college career to keep me from achieving my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I could have easily given up on my dream but I took those hardships and turned them into fuel to keep going. My father suffered a massive heart attack and went into cardiac arrest when I first started college. It completely flipped by life upside down. I spent weeks at a time in the hospital with him. Seeing him go in and out the hospital for years reaffirmed my need to become a nurse and help others like how those nurses took care of my father. Once I

As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career. Growing up, my father has always worked minimum paying jobs and living for paycheck to paycheck, while my mother has always been a housewife. Whenever it came to school, my parents encouraged me to do my best in my studies.

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.

When I graduate for high school I want to go to East Carolina University to become a doctor, because the school is home plus it is one of the best schools that have a medical program, and I can work with babies and young people. I also want to have a small family and get married. I would like to have two kids, one a girl, one a boy or twins. I want to have a better life then what I grew up too plus giving them things that I didn't have. Also be a good role model to my younger brothers. To show them that anything is

Achieving my ultimate goal in life, which was to become a Registered Nurse on a Medical Surgical floor and being able to help people who are unable to take care of their selves was the best thing I could have ever done. Becoming a nurse has taught me so much such as being more patient, kind, compassionate,

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.

I believe my purpose in life is to show love and compassion to those who are hurting. My dream is to be a pediatric oncology nurse. The reason I want to be a pediatric oncology nurse is because I want to shine light into the lives of those experiencing dark times. Being a child and having to go through various medical treatments takes a tremendous toll on both the family and the child. I want to be able to help people through that and provide the best quality care

Becoming successful and learning from my parents mistakes is the greatest educational and career related goal I have. I aspire to major in criminal justice to become a probation officer for the youth, or to earn my degree in social work. I am most confident that I want to impact the lives of others to help them reach their own goals and help them discover all that they can be in life..

In September of 2015, the unexpected happened before my eyes, my grandmother experienced a stroke. Despite getting her to the hospital in a timely manner, I still blamed myself for not reacting quicker, or knowing at the time what I needed to do. It was a torturous night as well as the most frightening thing I have ever experienced. As I spent every moment I could by her side, a day came where I felt a sense of security in her recovery. On this day, my grandmother received a new nurse, and she was not anything short of amazing. She was courteous, helpful, and she made sure my grandmother received the best care possible. It was a blessing because I believed things were not going to change for the better, but she gave reassurance that God would

When I was a freshman in high school, I unfortunately had to deal with the suicide of a family member. Prior to his untimely death, I had no idea what I wanted in the future. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was always met with “I’m not really sure yet”. This suddenly changed after his death. I began to think, after you die, what is left behind? What was his legacy? I knew I wanted to leave something behind and create my own legacy. I knew I wanted a career which focused on helping others, something that would have a major impact on people even after I was gone. So I decided to pursue nursing. I knew in my heart I needed to continue with my life and focus on bettering myself and those around me. I could not linger on the past anymore.

     I have many goals in life such as to have a good strong career and family. What is important to me is graduating Central high school and go on to UND. While at UND I plan to get my nursing degree and specialize in pediatrics and truama. I have
