The Importance Of Pursuing A Degree In Nursing

As a young child, I was always drawn towards the field of health care. I remember reading about the many options that are held within it and wondering what path it would lead me on. Neonatal nursing was something that always came into my mind, but it was often pushed to the side by people and teachers who thought I should become a pediatrician instead. This became a real struggle for me, but as I grew up and began researching and exploring the health care field I came to a decision for myself. I came to the realization that everyone was wrong. I didn’t want to be a doctor at all. This sudden burst of independence from what everyone else wanted was the first step to reaching my end goal. Along with this, an accelerated education, volunteer

Recently I have spent my time researching the paths I would like to take to further my education in the medical field.

There are so many things I could be in this world from a doctor to a zoologist and I choose to be a Registered Nurse.

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

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.

The interest in nursing, for me, began when I was about the age of 14 and I would stay with my grandma during these days. While staying with her, I got to help her with taking her blood sugar, help remind her to take her insulin, and help her around the house. When I was doing this, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to do this and help people as a job when I’m older?” but me being 14 years old, I didn’t really think anything of it until my junior year. During my sophomore year, the

My interest in nursing sparked when I was twelve years old. My grandfather suffered from terminal cancer in which I had the privilege to care for him on a few occasions. This precious opportunity ultimately led me to pursue a career in nursing. I graduated from a Diploma based nursing program seven years ago and am currently enrolled in my final semester of Bachelors of Science Nursing degree. Working as a registered nurse has opened up many opportunities, but has not satisfied my thirst for furthering my education.

When people ask me the question, “Jas, why do you want to be a nurse?” The first answer that comes to mind would be the generic answer, “Because I want to help people.” However, during the process of being in Lower Division and competing with almost 400 other students with the hopes of being accepted into Upper Division my mindset has changed. After studying my hardest through each class I am in and overcoming the challenges that come with each one, I am more determined than ever to be a nurse, more specifically a Traveling Registered Nurse, and I will not let anything stop me from reaching that goal. Ever since I was younger my parents have taught me to share, be caring, and always have a giving heart. As I went through high school I knew I wanted to be in the medical profession but I could not decide where. After attending a Career Center for two years and attaining my certification to be a Nursing Assistant, I knew nursing was the career I wanted to pursue. Nursing was the best fit for my personal values, financial commitment of the present and the future, and the ability to travel.

Life changing events had a great impact on me becoming a nurse. In 1992, my husband was suddenly diagnosed with colon cancer. We had two small children, and I only worked as a hostess in a buffet. He was the sole bread winner of the household. He had a colon resection and then underwent a year of chemotherapy. After he was diagnosed, I decided I needed to have a job that could support my family in the event my husband would not be able to care for us. I enrolled in college to pursue a nursing degree. I thought why not nursing it's a respectable job and they make decent money. It took me a long time to get through my prerequisites. I had some stumbling blocks to get over along the way. In 1993 my father in law passed a way exactly a year the day my husband had his surgery, he died of colon cancer. In 1995, my husband's cancer reoccurred, I lost my father to cancer and we also lost my brother in law to colon cancer. Then in 1996, we buried one of my step brothers, who was 23 years old, he died in a motorcycle accident. One would think that after seeing so much death in such a short period of time why would I still want to be a nurse. But I was determined to be a registered nurse. After getting into the program, the more I became

It has always been a dream of mine to work in healthcare in some capacity. I was raised in a family of educators, but I felt a calling for the medical field at an early age. I have vivid memories of visiting family members in the hospital when I was younger. I was fascinated by the professionals who cared for my family. I wanted to have their jobs one day. However, I wasn’t sure where I would find my passion in healthcare when I was that young. I started exploring different healthcare professions as early as middle school, but I only touched the surface of what was available. When I started college I thought that nursing would be a good fit for me. However, I began to question my desire to become a nurse as I started to learn more about other

My interest in nursing dates back to my years in high school, where I actively participated in nursing and pharmaceutical clinicals. Throughout the years, the courses that I participated in lead me to a better understanding of the medical profession and what it would take to become a nurse. These particular courses lead me to believe that earning a degree in Nursing would always be a dream of mine.

As a young child, I always knew that when I grew up I wanted a career that would allow me to help others. While in the hospital undergoing surgeries and treatment for my skin cancer, I encountered a variety of different nurses. Some of those nurses were really nice, others were not. The ones who spend some time talking with me, where the ones who made my day much better. It was during that hospital stay that I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I wanted to be the nurse who would make a positive impact in a patient’s life. Due to a number of unforeseen events in my life, I was unable to start nursing school as planned after graduating from high school. I worked in the restaurant business for a number of years and eventually met my husband who was recovering
