Travel nurses are then hired by a hospital through the agency and contract for a selected amount of time to temporarily fill in for any staff. A contract usually lasts 6 to 13 weeks and covers any expenses during the travel. Travel nurses differ from other nurses for several reasons but mainly the hiring process and workload they have.

A flight nurse, as Lynn Manning put it,“ is a registered nurse, who takes care of a patient in a pre-hospital setting, similar to the EMS system. We get the patient to the hospital by air instead of by ground.” Digging a little deeper using the site flightnurse.com, it is much more complex than that. A flight nurse is a registered nurse who is highly trained in the area of critical or emergency care and must administer wide-ranging critical, emergency and pre-hospital care during a rescue or aeromedical evacuation on board aircrafts.

As a nursing a student, my ultimatum is not to make the most money as possible, it is to obtain the most knowledge as possible. Indeed, nursing school introduced me to a new side of learning and studying, and at often time were quite difficult. Reflectively thinking, it opened a new way of thinking for me. At this point, I have successfully passed my first semester of nursing school, and have accepted the gratitude that I am capable of anything I put my mind to.

Now, my short-term goal includes joining the United States Air Force as a 2nd lieutenant, titled Registered Nurse. While my short-term goals may seem intriguing, I feel as if I should utilize my opportunities and advantages even more. Being said that, as a 2nd lieutenant or any progressing rank, I plan to future my education and purse to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.

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

Where do you see yourself in five years? What about 10? If you were to ask me, the answer would be simple. I would reply, “In five years my goal would be to have graduated Mercy College of Health Science with my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and have a steady job working in a hospital NICU”. In 10 years my goal would be to have started my career as a traveling Neonatal Nurse after working in a hospital for a year, and possibly have a family”. Each big goal has many smaller goals to reach it. Right now, my small goal is to obtain scholarships, graduate high school with a 4.0 GPA, and then continue to strive to be the best student I can be while I attend Mercy College of Health Sciences. Each small goal I meet will ultimately help me reach

The career I am curious about is in the medical field, generally speaking, nursing. I have chosen to become a registered nurse because of its background, and how its characteristics require the use of creativity, problem-solving, social skills, and critical thinking. Registered nurses use various skills to diagnose and apply certain care methods to specific patients. I know that nurses aid patients with various illnesses, diseases, disabilities, and injuries. I love helping people and the feeling I receive when helping people. It would also be very motivating to learn and discover things about the human body and how to fix any problems involving it.

During my senior year of high school, our graduating class had to take more than one career assessment. I was given choices in the health and human science field. I was a lover of science and the human body so there is no wonder on why I was given these career choices. You never think about choosing a career until you are given a list of what there is to do in the world. I put a lot of time and effort into choosing the career I want the rest of my life. I found that a lot of my childhood was spent in hospitals. When I was there I made sure to make time to look at the babies in the nursery. My mind would come up with a ton of questions regarding their life, family, and health. This lead me to choose a career pathway in neonatal nursing. Neonatal nurse practitioners normally deal with babies who need immediate medical attention, but sometimes there are instances when that is not the case. I would like to become a neonatal nurse practitioner so I can apply my education and experience to better the newborns’ health and well-being.

Since I have been a young girl, I have dreamed of dedicating my life to aid others in health and wellness. Nursing, however has not always been my leading career choice.

Through careful examination of these various careers, I discovered that I wanted to pursue a career that was more personal and hands-on. I have chosen to pursue a career as a pediatric oncology nurse. Although this career with be both physically and emotionally demanding, I feel that I have made the best choice to become a nurse and devote my life in the pursuit of restoring health and wellness in children battling detrimental diseases.
