  • Personal Statement: My Career For Nursing School

    During my undergraduate years in college I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to become when I “grew up”. I would study various professions and never felt like anything fit for me. One evening I sat down with my aunt, a nurse, and I was talking to her about how I couldn’t decide on a major and how frustrating it was to be in college feeling as if I did not have any direction. She looked at me with complete surprise on her face and said, “You aren’t applying for nursing school?” I stared at her for a moment because I was confused as to why she would ask me that. She chuckled and proceeded to tell me that she had always assumed that I would be a nurse because I spent several years of my life taking care of my 3 year old cousin who had cancer. For three years I was his caregiver and it had never occurred to me that I could make a living caring for people. I then spent countless hours researching nursing and what exactly nurses did. This was it! I had finally found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! It took no time at all to know that I wanted to specialize in pediatrics. Throughout my clinical experiences in nursing school I have immensely enjoyed working on the Pediatric units as well as the Nursery.

  • Essay On Neonatal Nurse

    1100 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rawsi Williams once said that "To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; that is to be a nurse." To be a neonatal nurse is never easy due to dealing with ill babies, long hours, and lack of sleep. Though being a neonatal nurse has its difficulties, it comes with a lot of benefits such as being respected, helping others, and caring for babies. Nurses also must put others before themselves and do everything in their power to get parents' newborns healthy. Being a neonatal nurse is not easy, but at the end of the day one receives the greatest award that makes the work worth it; knowing they saved or cared for a family's child.

Around high school age, I thought that nursing was the next best career for me to have personal interactions with the community in a way that I could make a difference. There are two things in my life that really set my course in becoming a nurse. When I was a freshman in high school, I was rushed to the hospital with a dangerously low oxygen level. I was so close to death, but the nurses worked so hard to provide encouragement and empathy for myself and parents through out the two weeks that I stayed there for. Secondly, last year on September 11, my father was rushed to the hospital, but the doctors and nurses could not save him. It wasn 't the doctors who leant a shoulder to cry on or an empathetic comment, it was the nurses. I decided that I wanted to become the person that uplifted in joyful moments and comforted in distressing
