Why I Want To Go To Nursing School

I chose nursing as my profession because of the ability to legitimately make a difference in people’s lives. As a nurse, I know that I’d be affecting other people’s lives not only inside of the hospital, but also outside of the hospital. Inside the hospital, I’d be able to interact with and assist patients to a better state of well-being. The ability to interact with patients on a day-to-day basis is a one of the many reasons I chose nursing; I’d very much like a career where I am always interacting with others. I enjoy expanding my knowledge of the world around me, and I feel that these day-to-day interactions would allow my view on the world to grow because I’d be in constant communication with patients of all kinds. Outside of the hospital, I’d be able to give to the community the knowledge that I know regarding health care that people can use within their own homes and for themselves, and I feel that these little things learned can really go a long way.

The institution that I have decided to attend is the University of Central Florida. The main reason why I chose this school was because it will help me save money and I won’t need to travel anywhere to get my degree. Another big reason as to why I chose this school is because they have many great programs that will help me be better prepared when I begin my career such as their Modeling, Stimulation, and Training Epicenter which is used to prepare nursing students with different types of scenarios that they might face while working and also helps them work hands on rather than watching someone else do the job. UCF was also a good choice because their Medical Mission trips could help me and other nursing students travel to other places in the

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

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

Ever since I was a child I have always loved taking care of infants. I have an extremely large family so there was always babies to tend to. My grandmother babysat all of my cousins and my, since I was one of the oldest grandchildren I became another set of hands to help with all the children. I changed my first diaper when I was 6 years old, and I still remember my grandmother watching over me as I secured the wings of the diaper down. I have always known I wanted to have a career in the medical field, but it wasn't until a few years ago when it finally clicked and I realized the neonatal intensive care unit was the place I wanted to be.

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 taking the time and looking into my future I have realized many important things about myself. I have realized that I have no idea what I want to do once I graduate from high school. I have also come to realize that I want golf to be apart of my future in college. When looking into some schools that I would be interested in attending I took into consideration that I will want to play golf and what schools offer a good program for what I want to do. With those opponents I narrowed it down to the University of Missouri-Kansas City or better known as UMKC. Nursing- pre-licensure is the career path I will be taking in college. Nursing has always been something that I am interested in doing and UMKC offers a good nursing program.

Keen on aiding the helpless, nursing the sick and feeding the poor as a child; I knew then, that a doctor I shall be. Accomplishing more for my country is what I intend to achieve as my long term goal. For now, focusing on gaining useful knowledge to get me one step closer to becoming an RN (registered nurse) is one of the many things I want this year at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI). Furthermore, broadening my interests by discovering new passions and becoming more independent to learn more about myself; are also what I want to achieve. Lastly, engaging myself in activities aimed at improving me as a critical thinker and a writer will be my forefront. I am confident that as I go through this college experience; I will accomplish

When I was in tenth grade, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Like a lot of girls in my class, I was considering becoming a nurse. Nurses cared for others, were compassionate, and made good money. It seemed like a great option for me. Well, except for one thing. Back in tenth grade, I was terrified of socializing with people. As much as I wanted to help people, I didn’t like the aspect of patient care.

Helping people seemed to be the strength in my heart, which I then understood to be compassion for the human life. Over the last eight years, life as I knew it was happening all around me. In Africa, I was able to feed orphan children, teach young teenage girls their fourth language, English and play a sport I hardly knew anything about, known as soccer. When I returned to my homeland of America, helping people was something I did not want to do but needed to do. In one particular city, going to the women’s shelter became second nature to assist in whatever areas they needed me. Whether starting a clothing drive to keep unprivileged children and parents warm during the winter or to collecting food for their hunger. Those events made it clear to me, that being a nurse would be an honor to accept the call many were reluctant to do. The military has groomed me for such a time as this. As I laid in the chair giving blood yesterday, I asked the Phlebotomists about her career. She was so excited about the college she was attending, that I insisted on getting more information. Colorado Christian University was the college she was attending and I had to know more about. This is how I decided my next career move. My life has yet to see the plans God has for

Many students change his or her career path and life goals several times in college, but I have a firm understanding and motivation regarding my career and expectations of myself that I intend to accomplish. My primary education goal is to complete the B.S.N. program at James Madison University. I am currently a freshman and have a long education career ahead of me, but I am up for the challenge. I chose to become a nurse because it will be my way of serving the community wherever I decide to settle. I have come to respect nurses and their important roles in the world through personal experiences. The most challenging situation I have faced in my short life is when my father was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. As a result, I was able to decide on my future career as a nurse, making it my primary

One of my talents is that I have a big interest is in nursing,i've been wanting to become an RN since 7th grade.Not only do they get paid good they get health benefits, but they also get to help distribute medicine to patients.Most Rn’s work at hospitals and that's where I plan on working,it's the best place to start because you usually get a lot of patients and you get to learn a lot about many illnesses and conditions.Aside from that this has been one of my passions since I made it into high school, I took a few classes that lead me to be graduating, with a nursing sponsor and hopefully a CNA.This is my 1st year taking this CNA class and it's very exciting, i've had experience assisting at the Northeast Baptist hospital and now taking this

Ask any kindergarten student what the want to be when they grow up and a multitude of professions will be shouted. Ask the same group of students that question when they are in third grade and again there will be numerous shouts of different professions from public service to entrepreneurship. Chances are also very high that the answer has changed for more than one of the students. That is how it was for me; I never gave the same answer to the question until just recently. I now know the answer to the age old question of, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, and my answer is, “I want to be a registered nurse.”

I want to pursue medicine for my future career and volunteering at Nebraska Medicine will expose me to the hospital environment. This exposure will help me gain better communication and social skills in the work place. More importantly, I find satisfaction in volunteering because it teaches me how to be more compassionate towards others and to appreciate life to the fullest. In addition, I find comfort in knowing that I make a positive, beneficial impact in peoples lives as well as in our community. For these reasons, I wish to become a volunteer at Nebraska Medicine.
