I've wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a little girl. My stuffed animals, and my poor dog, would always have "injuries" that needed tending to. A band-aid here or some gauze there. After I graduated high school, I got married and then got pregnant so college got shoved aside. A few years later, after divorcing, I remarried and decided I would go to school. Well, I tried two times and ended up pregnant each time, so I waited. Finally, third times the charm, I got into a LPN class. Halfway through I found out I was pregnant again. I was determined to finish and become a nurse. I did it! I graduated in December and had my fourth child in January. Time to go to work! I went to work at a residential living center for people with disabilities.
One of the health professions I chose was a school nurse. What interests me about this career is how school nurse are very trustworthy and how they're able to communicate easily with student. Me, personally, I feel like I can tell them me issues and they wouldn’t be non-judgmental towards me. The school nurse provides direct care to students, provide care for injuries and acute illness for all students and long-term management of students with special health care needs. School Nurses also educate students on health care and growth development.
Since I can remember I have always had a compassion and natural desire to care for my fellow man. Now having this opportunity, I remain committed to this task. During my nursing career as a Registered Nurse, I allow myself time to grow clinically and to expose myself to a variety of health care emergency situations which continues to be very valuable to me in strengthening my career. It is very fortunate that I have the opportunity to be in a position to where I am today.

Do we just wake up one day and know what our career should be? Finding a job that best suits myself is complicated. It is not easy as it seems to decide on what I want to do for my career. I believe the job that best suits me would be a nurse, so that means I would enjoy to be in a hospital. I am best suited to be a nurse because I am very dedicated and hardworking, I am a very caring person and hopefully a role model to others. Also, I have a calm temperament and I can remain focused in difficult situations. Being a nurse comes with plenty of hardships, but I am ready to face them all.

Your choices will affect you throughout your life, whether it is a big or small decision. For example, it could be something simple like eating fast food for the third time this week or it could be important like going to an interview for a new job position. When you are young, you change your mind every chance you get. This might be why deciding what job you want for the rest of your life is difficult. Currently, 1. I want to be a RN, which is a registered nurse. Registered nurses do a lot to help their community and the people in it. With this job, I would be able to give back to the community by helping people. This makes me feel like I would be a better person.
Growing up as a young girl in Bangladesh has presented me with the brutal reality of life. Ailment and illnesses do not regard humankind. They bring pain, anguish and inconvenience to us. They grab our friends and family from us untimely. All these have activated me an inward excitement to discover the birthplace of this diseases.
Being a nurse is always what I have had in mind that I wanted to do. Registered nurses (RNs) provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members. Being a nurse will be a dream come true for me, I love being around people, helping them, and it pays well. The most important features of the career are communication, empathy, interpersonal skill, respect for others, responsiveness and quickness, and problem solving.
As a child, I always knew that I was destined to be a nurse. I always loved helping others and over the years that never changed. I knew that being a nurse meant I would get to help others while working with medicine; however, it wasn’t until I became a mother that I realized just what being a nurse entailed. I was fresh out of high school when I became a mother. I was scared and had no idea what to expect giving birth.
When I was younger, I wanted to become a doctor or a nurse. I used to play with my mother’s stethoscope countless times because I thought I was a professional. I thought I knew what it took to become a doctor because I knew how to listen to a family member’s heartbeat. I just automatically knew I wanted to become a doctor. I don’t know if it was because I knew my mother had breast cancer. I don’t know if it was because I struggled with battling sickle cell. I wanted to help people like how doctors and nurses helped take care of my mother and myself. All I wanted to do was to help patients like myself.
From the time we start school they’ve asked us what we would like to be when we grow up. When we were in elementary school kids tended to respond with things like a princess, astronaut, and even a billionaire but as the time progressed our dreams were taken over by more realistic goals such as nurses, doctors and even engineers. I remember being asked what I wanted to be all throughout my life and every time I sat there with a blank face with no response and no idea as to what the world held. Now as a senior in high school I’ve come to a conclusion that being a pediatric nurse is the right career for me. I’ve always loved children so why not persue a career in pediatrics.
In the nursing profession, you will often hear the cliché where people say they were born to be nurses. They always knew they wanted to be a nurse from the time they were young. Some people grew up around healthcare, had nurses in their family, or just knew in their bones they were meant to be a nurse. Well, I can say unequivocally that I am not one of those people. Upon graduating from college I still had no idea what I wanted to be when I “grow up.” I went into sales because the only thing I truly knew I wanted was to work with people. Working with new people every day led me to a revelation; I wanted to help people. Having always been fascinated by the human body, and having a thirst for knowledge were what brought me to nursing. I felt there was no better way to make a measurable impact on people’s lives than to provide direct care during their most vulnerable moments. I believe becoming a CRNA will give me solace in knowing I have the ability to make a positive impact on nearly every patient I treat.
I am excited to be here and hope everyone had a great summer! I have been an RN since 2009 but have been in health care for 18 years. I began my career as a medic in the Air Force and slowly climbed up the nursing ladder by obtaining my LPN, ASN, BSN and here I am now working on my Masters. Although it has taken much longer than I expected, I have gained a world of knowledge along the way. I have worked acute care (Med-Surg/ICU/Step-down), ambulatory care (Primary Care, Disease Management), home care, Utilization Management, and Patient Safety. I am now civil service employee working as a Discharge Planner at a large military hospital. I truly enjoy my work and have gained yet another perspective about outcomes of care and I am happy to serve
Many people in life have turning points when they realize what they want to do with their lives. For me I’ve always wanted to be a nurse. There has never been a specific or defining moment that prompted me to begin this journey of pursuing a career in nursing. There are many honorable and rewarding careers in this world, but for me I’ve never thought of anything more gratifying than caring for people. Nursing is simply caring for people and caring can be defined as the work or practice of looking after those unable to care for themselves, especially sick and elderly people.
A nurse is a person that is trained to advocate health, prevent illness, and care for ill or disabled person. My desire to become a nurse started at a young age and from then on my desire to be a nurse has only grown. I grew up around the healthcare field most of my life because my grandmother and mother were both nurses. In 2011, my father was diagnosed with cancer. I went to the hospital every day to see him. When my father passed away it inspired me to be a nurse even more. I want to help people so they won’t have to go through what my father went through or so children won’t have to feel how I felt. When I think of a nurse I think of a leader. A leader inspires other to dream more, learn more, do more and become more. When I found out
