Why I Want To Be A Nurse

Throughout my four years of college, I wanted to learn about myself and the world. I did not want to follow a particular path or be strict with myself. Now, as a graduate I discovered my passion for health and helping people. I want to volunteer at New York Methodist Hospital because I want to learn more about health while getting to help people feel at peace during a difficult time in their life. I am ready to learn and I am ready for a new experience. I want to learn from accomplished individuals and further my knowledge in health for when I decide to go to nursing school. At the age of 5, I had to help my grandma because she could not walk due to arthritis of the spine and knee. At a young age I learned how one person can make a difference

I have a lot of dreams. Dreams to change the world and do great things. My first dream is to receive my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, followed by working as a nurse for a few years to gain hands-on experience. Second, I intend to further my education by obtaining a Master’s degree and working on improving my skills, knowledge, and understandings of the nursing field. I want to be a nurse anesthetist. They administer anesthesia to patients. When I eventually retire, I intend on giving back to future generations of nurses by becoming a Nursing Instructor, educating them and watching them grow and develop into the best-equipped nurses they can be. As a result of my experiences in life, I am more mature, grounded, and I realize that even when

From ages five to eight I remember pretending to be a school teacher. I had imaginary students and gave them grades for the homework I pretended to give them. I despised actual school though. I hated it because I wasn't the smartest student, I couldn't read very well, and I struggled in making friends. I have always had an interest in the idea of teaching, but since I loathed school, I thought it would be an extremely bad idea for me to choose teaching as my career. I then decided, at the age of 11, I wanted to be a Neonatal Nurse. I wanted to be a part of a baby's full recovery of health after birth. I knew a child from my church that was in the NICU for three months after her birth due to Short Bowel Syndrome, so from then on I wanted to

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.

Do you want to help those in need, and there is a job that has just that, that sticks out there to you? My career is a registered nurse. Registered nurses are very nice once helping a client in need. I want to be a registered nurse because I’ve seen registered nurses and they seem very helpful, which is why I would like to be one of them.

“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 college experience has not always been an easy journey for me. I was accepted into the nursing program at the University of Massachusetts Lowell in 2012. I went through my first year with no hesitation or difficulties. Not knowing what was ahead of me, things became challenging. Unfortunately, I had to switch my major to public health. This was tough for me to go through because not only was I no longer in the major I love, but my anticipated graduation date was pushed back; it felt like I was starting all over again. Today, I am a public health major and it is very different than being a nursing major. With public health, it focuses more on health promotion while nursing focuses on the actual health of an individual and is more hands on.

Becoming a Children’s Nurse will mean that I will be put to the test to provide the best care available whilst working in a fast paced environment. Although working as a Children’s Nurse can be demanding, the outcomes of the care I provide and the smile on the faces at the end of the day are what drive me to achieve this. The job doesn’t just start and finish with trying to fix the problem, but also ensuring that children feel relaxed, safe and cared for no matter what. This is why it’s so important to me to become a Children’s Nurse, so I can join the incredible people who care for the next generation.

When most potential nurses answer the question of “Why do you want to be a nurse?”, the answer is more than likely “I would like to be able to help others”. This is accurate in value, but each response has a personal rational. As a caregiver and a Nursing Assistant, I have learned the raw nature of helping others in need. I deal with clients and families at their lowest moments in life and at their highest. I find that caring and showing compassion for others in need gives me a great sense of joy and accomplishment that I take pride in.

However her days were short-lived due to a back injury that deemed her disabled therefore preventing her from practicing ever again. The first chance I had to activate my calling was as a junior in high school when I took advantage of a nurse aid-training class that was being offered. This preparation course provided the basic skills necessary to becoming a nursing assistant. Unfortunately upon graduating high school life took me on another path. Some years later I found my re-training again as a certified nursing assistant and that path I remained for 7 years. I began taking classes at a local community college in an attempt to work towards completing my Associates of Nursing degree. Once again I found myself distracted with life and circumstances that eventually ended my studies. I eventually completed my BA in Business Administration with a Healthcare Management focus. Shortly after completing my degree I got married, had my first and only son and continued to pursue my career path working in education. I can honestly say that I have yet to find the peace I found working in healthcare. Every path I have taken (career wise), has led me to a dead

When I graduated high school, I wanted to have a career in the healthcare field, I enrolled at Valencia College to do a major in Chemistry, because I wanted to complete the pre-medicine requirements in order to attend medicine school. While in school I was working at Walmart, it was a decent job. However, my passion to work on the healthcare field, made me put my pre-medicine studies to a standby, and enrolled in an emergency medical technician program. Upon completion of the EMT program, I obtained a Florida EMT license. Later that year, I started working for Florida Hospital Orlando, the second largest hospital in the nation as a psychiatric technician. While I had many family members who are nurses, I never really knew what nurses did in their job setting. Upon witnessing the amazing job nurses did, and how the patient benefitted from such care, I had found what I was searching all along, I found my calling, from that moment desire grew upon me to one day become a registered nurse. In 2013 I enrolled at Keiser University Orlando, and transferred my credit from Valencia College, to start their nursing programs. Once I finished the nursing programs, I obtained my registered nurse license from the state of Florida, and started practicing nursing at Florida Hospital Orlando’s Vascular Thoracic Intensive Care Unit. Upon practicing nursing I comprehend that each patient is different and have different views of life and belief.

My primary goal in life is to become a pediatric nurse. Ever since I was younger, I’ve been fascinated by the medical field and everyone in it. Some of my earliest memories were playing around with a toy doctor kit and poking the play needle into my mom’s arm until she said “ow”, which made me laugh and ask her if she needed any play medications. As I’ve gotten older I haven’t tortured my mom with the play needle anymore, but instead have frequently asked my family members who are nurses themselves as many questions as I can. My fascination with nursing extends into my love for children, I’ve always enjoyed caring for family members’ and also frequently took care of the children at my church. This scholarship is very important to me, I’m excited

There are three reasons on why I want to become a nurse. One my brother inspired me, two I love to help others, and three I have always thought the human body was cool.

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

The next class that has been significant in my Grand View experience and especially in my nursing major, is pathophysiology. It was unfortunate that I wasn’t able to pass pathophysiology my first time around. Failing to pass this nursing class of pathophysiology, was the first time in my education career that I have failed to pass a class. I fell short in passing the class and the disappointment in myself was difficult to deal with for a while. I was mad and frustrated at myself for not pushing myself in succeeding in the class. Though, I knew I would have a second chance to redeem myself in this class and prove to myself that I’m capable of succeeding in things even though they may seem difficult and impossible. I was determined to pass pathophysiology and continue on in my nursing major; at that point I wasn’t going to give up in my hopes of becoming a nurse.
