Why I Choose To Be A Nurse

"The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why." -Mark Twain. That has been a favorite quote of mine for as long as I can recollect. Some people spend their entire lives never knowing what it feels like to be able to earn a living while at the same time fulfilling their passion or dreams. However i would be lying if i was to say that i don 't understand why. I am thirty one years of age, and deciding to make a career change and leave the job that provides a security blanket, to pursue the job that provides me with a purpose is exhilarating but nonetheless terrifying. When asked the question "Why do you want to become a nurse?" I could answer the same way that everyone else does by saying what it is I anticipate you want to hear or i can answer with my heart, I choose the latter. While a sizably voluminous part of my zealousness for nursing is centered on helping people, it goes much deeper than that for me. I have always believed that i should pursue a career that i would be proud of. That if a stranger was to ask me what i do for a living, I can answer them with a sense of pride, confidence and self admiration. Nursing would give me that. The path that has lead me up to this point in my life hasn 't always been the the most rewarding but i did what many of us do, settled. Just letting the years pass by, and getting no closer to reaching my goal. For most of my adult life i have been in the restaurant industry working as a

While deciding on the career that I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life, I began looking at job availability and job security. Nursing fulfills both criteria as it is a job that is in high demand and will always be needed in the world, especially in hospitals and nursing care facilities such as nursing homes or rehabilitation centers. One thing that inspired me to become a nurse is that fact that my mother is a nurse. She has always been employed and has had the opportunity to see the functionality of nursing at many different levels and job settings. Always feeling secure about a career choice is something that I value deeply because it ensures me that I will always be able to find a way to provide for myself and my future family.

I knew I could be a nurse when I watched blood ooze from my brother’s face. His eyes dripping tears, and body shaking from being scared, he did not know what to do. I however, did not flinch once when I wiped the blood off his small face and hands. He was just two and I remember thinking how I had to fix him. I had to make sure his nose, his forehead, and the of side of his face was okay. I did not think twice about touching blood, or how his whole nose was black and blue. In that moment I was selfless. I chose nursing because I am capable of putting others before me. I am selfless enough to understand what it means to be a nurse, and have to be a mother, a daughter, and a whole family in a patient’s time of need. I am independent, and strong enough to deal with challenges and make the right decisions. In my soul I know I am meant to help people and fix their hurting and sadness. I chose being a nurse, because I am

“We need to transfer her to the ICU”, said the attending while holding a nebulizer mask up to the infant’s face. It was organized chaos at its finest-- EKGs, X-rays, and labs were being drawn almost instantaneously. My 5-month-old patient 's respirations had become labored and needed care more advanced than we could perform on the inpatient cardiology unit. As the bedside nurse, I was responsible for communicating my assessment findings and concerns about the patient to the team.

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. Since I was a little girl I have always enjoyed taking care of family and friends when they were sick, and till this I still do. I believe that earning a degree in Nursing would give me the opportunity to positively impact not only my family and friends, but

The college degree I am pursuing through Excelsior College is the Associate in Applied Science for Nursing. I plan on going on after this for my Bachelor’s degree in nursing, and when I complete this then I will decide if I plan on going any further in my education. Having 7 children, who are all still at home, gives me everyday challenges in just time management alone. I am learning to adjust my schedule even with sleep to accommodate in achieving my goal. I do know any challenge that I may face I will overcome and that I can achieve anything I set out to do. As I went through LPN school I was a single mom, working full time, with 4 children at home, and was able to succeed successfully in that. I plan on doing this again with my degree for a registered nurse.

All my life nurses have surrounded me. My mother was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease while I was in the womb. She spent most of her early motherhood life in a Galveston, TX hospital. I also, in 2006 was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was given the proper care to battle the cancer and become a survivor. The flourishing of my desire for nursing was also very clear when I experienced how to care for another person. My cousin who has different disabilities has been ill since an infant. All her life I have cared for her when I could and met numerous of nurses who are by her side twenty-four seven. The surrounding of nurses and their environment that I have been exposed to, has assured me that this desire I have to further my education in this pathway is the right choice. I hope to attain the proper education to gain closeness to the people in my community through this profession that I have a strong desire for.

I chose to pursue a career in nursing because I give me a sense of accomplishment in life. It happened when I was a little girl. I first encountered my ideal model of life when I saw a nurse devoting her best effort to take care for my grandmother. Since then I started to dream to become a nurse. And I decided to become a nurse. Nursing brings hope for patients and makes them feel better about themselves. It is also teaching, promoting and supporting patients so they are more bravery to face their illness.

Hello, my is Inez Edmondson I live in West Chester Ohio. I have been a nurse for many years. I am now a Visiting Assistant Professor Department of Nursing at one of the locate University. I chose to return to school once I accepted the position as a VAP. I want to be all I could be as an instructor, I feel that this program will give leverage and accreditation as an instructor. I have very little research experience in my graduate program. I hope to gain a better understanding of health care policies, and how do you make things happy.

The first reason I want to become a nurse is because my brother, Shelby, inspired me. Shelby was a premature baby. He lived in the NICU for months. I wasn't allowed to see him at all because I was to young. I have always wanted to help him out with his breathing, but I couldn't because I had no clue what to even do. For example, I would say, " if only I could hold him, he would feel better." Shelby is now fifth teen years old and his breathing has gone from bad to worst! This is the main reason I want to become a nurse. Not only do I want to become one to help out my little brother but to also help others as well.

United states of America is a land of freedom and opportunity. I come from a country in west Africa called Cameroon; comparing both countries, I must say I am blessed to be in such a beautiful country with the possibility to go to school and choose a career with no thoughts. I chose nursing first and foremost for the passion that I have for practical biology. Being in class and in a clinical setting for me are two different things. Biology in class is interesting, but I think practicing what I have been thought will be more fascinating. Also, the variety of options that come with nursing is another reason why I want to be a nurse. At first, I doubted this choice because I thought doing the same thing over and over again for a period of time

Life is like a maze to me. A maze of lessons towards achievement. When I was younger, there was something more sacred within my innocence. The role of loving and caring was embedded into my soul, not my mind or heart. Most times when people pursue a dream, career, or activity, there is a reason they want it. In some way, it's beneficial. And not to say those motives are bad because majority of the time they're not. But they are conscience decisions of the mind and heart. My compassion was driven from my soul. I do not believe I chose the field of nursing, but nursing has chosen me. My mother always said I'd be a successful nurse since grade school. Growing up, I saw my mother who was a child caregiver her whole career, I saw the love and care

Why do I want to become a Nurse? I have not always known what I wanted to be growing up. I was not very sure of myself, but I have always known that I wanted to help people. People struggle a lot in life and it reassures me that in Nursing you can be able to help them with their struggles. Nursing to me is not just healthcare and give someone treatment and move one with your life, it is about building a relationship with that patient and give them that reassurance that they can trust you with their life.

In fact, there are several reasons why I chose nursing as my profession. First and foremost is that I want to focus on changing people’s lives (Nurse Journal, 2016). As a nurse, I would study the life's value when I would be seeing individuals struggling to remain alive. Since I am fully aware that each life's breadth is a gift, I would, therefore, understand this lesson further as I would be nursing various patients daily. I greatly respect human life, I possess strong values and I am compassionate for empathy and suffering, factors that have further attracted me to the nursing profession. Second, nursing profession allows continuous learning. As I like learning, I would possess unlimited opportunities for advancing my medical knowledge. As such, I would capable of choosing to work in various departments, train to become a medical assistant and as well enter the nursing management where I would grow and mentor new nurses through sharing my knowledge

I came into the nursing program as a caring person and I love helping others which has always been why I wanted to be a nurse. I never knew how profound that caring could be until finishing the program and learning everything I have learned. I learned that caring in the first semester meant that you had a basic knowledge of how to care for patients such as basic physical exams and just taking the time to talk to them as though they were your family. With each semester I developed deeper levels of caring by making sure that not only I understood their disease or illness that the patient did as well. I cared that they had the knowledge and tools to help control their disease. I cared that they understood the need for new medications or physical
