Why I Chose To Become A Nurse

People have always said that I am good with kids. I especially love babies, babies have been something that I have always loved, cared for, and want eventually. I want to keep taking care of them and helping them be healthy. I love science and I do pretty well in it. I have taken mostly honor science classes. I am really good with people and I have seen what it's taken to be nurse and how much work is put into becoming one. My cousin is actually graduating from nursing school this year in May and she inspired me that it was a great career choice to pursue.

After graduating from Durant High School, I plan to attend Southeastern Oklahoma State University to pursue a degree in Nursing. Making the decision to study in this field was not made overnight; many events and factors affected my decision. Since I was a young child, I have always enjoyed science of all kinds. As I grew older and my science classes began to focus on more specific topics, I realized that the human body is what I am most interested in. However, my interest in anatomy is not the only reason I am choosing to attend college to become a nurse.

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

My journey to nursing began when I was living in an orphanage in Russia. Although just a child myself (4-6yrs old), I was responsible for the care of children younger than me. I have always had a special place in my heart for children. Since that time, I have had a desire to help people feel better. My desire to work as a nurse began after my first visit at the hospital with my father. With his career in the health field, I had the opportunity to watch my father work. He served with passion and dedication to all his patients. His attention to his patients and compassion triggered my desire to work in the medical field.

What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a common question asked by adults to children. Most of the time, they say jobs like a firefighter, a police officer, a teacher, or even a princess! When I was younger, I wanted to be a veterinarian because the thought of helping animals was amazing. However, now, I want to be a nurse, as one of my relatives was one.

For as long as I can remember I felt that my mission in life was to care for/help those in need, and I honestly believe that, that is what led me to choose a career in nursing. Servicing and caring for others fulfills not only my life but my heart as well with so much love, compassion, happiness, and even sometimes sadness. As I get ready to enter the nursing profession I realized that I needed to sit down and explore what my personal values and principles are that will help guide me for the rest of my career as a nurse. In this paper, I would like to discuss what my philosophy of nursing is, but first I feel like for my purpose and whomever is reading this should first decide what philosophy means to them. I think Shrock stated it best when

When I first started this type of career I wouldn’t have been able to give you an answer of why I wanted to be a nurse. I was 15 when I worked for a research institute. I set up cadavers, parts of the body or wholes ones, for doctors to practice new surgeries with microscopes. Then afterwards I would have to clean up the tattered tissue and bone from the limbs that were left. Dumped buckets of “juices” which was water filtered through the arteries that would mix with fat. Even though I can stomach the smell of burnt flesh, body fluids, and the open wounds that come with the job. I didn’t care for people in general. I don’t care for drug seekers, complainers, confused people, let alone repeating myself multiple times.

anesthetist in any hospital in California. In words this might seem easy but these are long steps that I must overcome in order to get to start my career. In life you cant achieve something great things without taking the measures of hard work and time nothing comes to you fast but you must work on it slowly and with hard work. I am willing to work hard and put in my time to become a nurse anesthetist. I live my life with many mottos but one motto I also will always have in mind the statement that Brooke have told us that nothing in life is from point a to point b.

I will always remember one piece of advice a teacher taught me during my senior year of high school. She said: “If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life!” I have been incredibly fortunate to say I have not worked since I became a nurse. Become a nurse is much more than simply a calling. Nursing is a way of life; the compassion and care we give to our patients each and every single day is not something many people have the ability to do. To date, I have been one of the millions of compassionate and hardworking nurses around the world for over two years.

I cannot remember the exact moment I decided I wanted to become a nurse, but I can remember the person who influenced this decision greatly. She was my “Mammie”. My great grandmother, my best friend.

Modern nurses sit at the forefront of a profession that has changed dramatically in recent decades and has the opportunity to continue evolving as time moves forward. The work and effort of current and early nurses has paved the pathway of opportunity for new nurses and nursing students. Nurses are given the chance to define who they are within the profession. Nursing is not simply a subordinate role to physicians, but a vocation with a unique set of theories, principals, and a broad scope of practice. Finding one’s calling among those practices is akin to picking a major as a freshman in college. To do so, it is important to analyze and discover various aspects of oneself and how they mold them into a professional nurse.

In this assignment, I will reflect on why I chose Nursing as a career. When I think back, my interest in wanting to study nursing happened suddenly and the idea of it soon became more appealing to me over time. Nursing as a career eventually turned into something I truly longed for. In this essay, I will discuss the main reason I chose nursing as a career, my Grandma. I will also discuss other reasons such as, the experience I had during my PLC, feeling as if I had the right attributes to be a nurse and the knowing that nursing would be such a rewarding career.

My reasons for applying for Adult Nursing come from personal experience. In my early teenage years I was diagnosed with scoliosis and spent a great deal of time with the spinal team and nurses at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh. The nurses there were very compassionate, comforting and made me feel welcome during my stay. My inspiration from the nurses and my desire to help and care for people and to make them feel comfortable during their most vulnerable moments also made me realise that a career in nursing was for me. I like how fast paced the job is and going into work with the prospect of every day being different intrigues me. If I had a job as a nurse I would be living my life doing something I am fervent about. My interest in Mental Health Nursing became apparent to me when I attended the UWS Dumfries open day and was told about all the different situations that may be faced as a mental health nurse such as tackling conditions like depression and schizophrenia, which caught my attention. Mental Health nursing requires patience and empathy which I think are two qualities I could show within the job. I have done a lot of research into midwifery and discovered that midwives support patients not only

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to become a nurse practitioner. Being the one to take care of my grandparents by feeding them and serving them their medications made me realize my passion of helping people that cannot help themselves. As I was growing up I was also suffering from kidney failure that finally forced me to leave my family to come to the united states to get proper treatment. When I became old enough I went to school and became certified as a nursing assistant and a phlebotomist. To succeed at my goal of becoming a nurse practitioner I realized that I must first obtain a bachelor of science in nursing. For a short-term goal, I am determined to get my associates of science at the Community College of Aurora. I know that
