There are many great qualities that make up a successful nurse and I feel that I have many of them. To be a nurse you have to be compassionate, ambitious, have diligence, professionalism, pride and a different outlook on life just to name a few. I am currently a certified nursing assistant in the state of Kentucky and Indiana and a three year employee of Oakwood Health Campus. When you go into the nursing field there is going to be good and bad days but it’s all in how you choose to handle the situation. Working hand in hand with some wonderful nurses I have also learned time management which is also a good quality because it seems like the work is never done. There is always someone to help take care of or hold a hand when the patient needs it …show more content…
My brother and sister are both in the medical field so I knew that I wanted to do something in the medical field. I have always been intrigued by how the body functions and taking care of someone in need. My choice wasn’t evidently clear to me until I became a CNA and at that point I knew that I wanted to become a nurse indefinitely. Working alongside many fellow nurses has shown me that there was nothing else in the world that I wanted to do than be a nurse and further my education. I see nursing as respecting the patients’ needs and wants, making patient safety a number one priority, acting in the patients’ best interest, being ethical, and working well with other health care professionals to name a few.
I plan to get my Bachelors of Science of nursing here at the University of Louisville and work locally at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital for a few years. I would then like to become a nurse in the ER or become a flight nurse with the local air evacuation. If everything is going well in my life by then I have considered going back for my Masters in nursing. Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about
For me nursing was not something that I initially intended to do as a career. During elementary school and into high school I contemplated many different career paths such as cosmetology, teaching, psychology, and forensics. It was not till the later years of high school that I started to notice my desire to help other individuals and love of science, health, and different disease processes. My desire to help people has originated from the admiration of my grandfather’s
The tasks of a nurse fascinates me; I have had several opportunities to observe nurses in hospitals and I find their work intriguing. I have always been interested in the health field and performing the jobs of a medical professional. Ever since the age of twelve, I have known I wanted to attend a university and pursue a career in the health field. I have always had an interest in my science courses, specifically biology and chemistry and have excelled in these areas. I want to be able to receive the best education possible and make my parents and community proud. I wish to do more for my community than just being a typical nurse and I will be able to do more by becoming a nurse practitioner.
I have always wanted to be a nurse: I do not think there is any task that is as satisfying as treating a patient physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I first pursued my LPN, and immediately I knew I had chosen the right career path. Every day, no matter how tired and weary I felt at the end of the day, I was invigorated by the sense that I had made a positive change in the lives of my patients. To build upon my capabilities to help others, I then pursued my RN. I am currently in an RN-BSN program and hope to begin a graduate program subsequently to become a family nurse practitioner.
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.
I choose nursing as my future career because I enjoy working with others, helping others feel better, and educating people. These three topics are all involved in what nursing is. I believe that nursing is focused on the holistic care of individuals and their families in order to achieve and maintain an optimal level of health, a great quality of life, and comfort. This is done through the promoting healthy living, providing a safe environment, preventing illness, and the caring for the individual and the family.
I realized I wanted to be a nurse after I had my 2nd ACL surgery, my senior year of high school. I had to stay in the hospital 3 days in order to recover, and I was very lucky to have such a wonderful and caring nurse. She made me feel as if I was her only patient. I will never forget how well I was taken care of and how comfortable she made me feel. I was young and scared, but she was reassuring, because she made me feel as if I had my own mother taking care of me. She was the reason I wanted to become a nurse, because I wanted to make others feel the way she made me feel. My personal definition of nursing is encompassed within that one nurse. A nurse should be loving, compassionate, dependable, competent, empathic, responsible,
My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.
Being a successful registered nurse definitely comes with many more titles than just ‘nurse’. From the education aspect of nursing, nurses know how to care for sick patients, promote health in patients and provide treatment for patients. To be a successful nurse that is a great start, but nurses possess many more characteristics that enable them to excel in their field. As a pre-nursing student, I should be thinking about all of the unmentioned obligations that come along with being a nurse. Mental and emotional abilities have proven to be just as necessary as the knowledge it takes to become a registered nurse. Learning the characteristics that a successful nurse possesses will assist me in becoming the best nurse that I can be.
Successful nurses are anticipated to promote their profession. When I accomplish my goal of becoming a registered nurse my strengths and abilities will do just that. I have always known nursing was the career for me, but my interest in it really peaked when I started doing clinical rotations at Angleton Danbury Hospital. Just seeing the people around me devoted to taking care of others really inspired me to do the same. As a result, I continued doing hospital and pharmaceutical clinicals throughout high school and participated in an internship at a cardiologist office throughout the summer. Furthermore, I see myself impacting the nursing profession because working in an array of medical settings led me to a field I feel so passionate about.
Nurses should be compassionate and caring to their patients while being honest and sincere to them, as well as other aspects of their career. Moreover, admirable nurses must be dedicated to their work and have problem solving skills to aid them in critical situations, and nurses must keep proper composure and remain knowledgeable about their patient’s current state. One of the most important qualities, I believe, for nurses to have is to be an advocate for their patients when they need a voice. Finally, a nurse should be a coach and an educator to help their patients become more independent and
"Five Essential Traits of a Nurse and How I Exemplifty Them." Five Crucial traits of a nurse are being consistent , respect , critical thinking , having a fertile mind, and being meticulous. Many people would argue that a nurse has many more crucial traits besides the five I have stated, but these are ones that I strongly believe I could symbolize on a day to day basis. While going through this essay I will strongly show how I symbolize each and everyone of these traits. I symbolize being consistent by doing even the little things through my life with thing's like my physical aptitude, composure , and even being courteous.
I have wanted to become a nurse after a key moment in my life when my grandma suffered a stroke. Whilst she was going through her treatment, I saw how genuine and caring the staff were and gained an insight into working practices within the profession. This experience confirmed my decision to become a healthcare professional and with practical experience on work placements and developing my theoretical knowledge through my studies, I now feel that Nursing is a career that I can make a huge contribution to. Currently I am studying Business, Health and Social Care and ICT.
When I first told my family I wanted to be a nurse, they were all shocked. They assumed that I wouldn’t be able to do it because I’m more reserved and introverted at times, but they forgot about my other traits that would make me a great nurse. I am very independent, caring, and straightforward. Those are great traits for nursing because I’ll be able to genuinely care for my patients, but not hold back when I am informing them about their situation. My interest in nursing began after I would watch shows like “Botched” and “Grey’s Anatomy”; the whole hospital setting really intrigues me. Also, learning about sickness and diseases in my Biomedical Science class has played a big part in inspiring me to be a nurse. By the end of my senior year,
There have been many life experiences of mine that have influenced my dream of being a registered nurse. Growing up, I always wanted to help people and knew I wanted to have a job in the medical field. When I was a little girl, I remember watching the shows “Birth Day” and “A Baby Story” on television and telling everyone that I wanted to help deliver babies and care for the mother and baby. At the age of nine, I watched my mother deliver my baby brother. This experience is still vivid in my memories today. I remember thinking how interesting and amazing the experience was. I knew from that moment on I wanted to have a career in Maternity. As I grew older, I realized that what I wanted to be was a maternity nurse. This is where my passion for nursing originates. When I was sixteen, my grandfather was sick with lung cancer. I went over to his house almost every day to help the home health care nurse take care of him. I told her
Two exceptional qualities come to mind when I regard a nurse, kindness and patience. Kindness for Jody, who will wake up in two hours requesting less blankets because she is too hot, despite the fact this is a repeat of the exact events from the day before. Patience for Phil for the reason that you told him he should try to visit the restroom before dinner, but before long and he is explaining how to build a computer. Two exceptional qualities I claim to express, every time I am on the job.
