Becoming a Professional Nurse remains a mystery up until this day. Consequently, the answer is still unknown. Furthermore, to figure out the answer why I became a professional nurse starting from the beginning is best. Hopefully, an answer will be provided by the completion of this paper. Creating cartoons and to broadcast it on television was my passion. In return, it inspires me to become an comic book artist and draw for Marvel Enterprise. An article was handed to me by my father, after receiving a full scholarship for School of Visual Arts. The article explained how Pixar separated from Walt Disney after the movie Finding Nemo was an enormous success. Therefore, Disney laid off about 10,000 of their workers. A question was asked …show more content…
For example, Anatomy and physiology 1 and 2, Microbiology, Pathophysiology, chemistry, even organic chemistry, were the courses completed in school. In return, a Bachelor in Liberal Arts was awarded to me. After my degree, I needed a job, so Home Health Aide was my next option and then I become a Certified Nurse Assistant. Random people suggested nursing to me and it was considered. License Practical Nursing (LPN) was the first step, so I pass the entrance exam and was accepted into the nursing program. The union help paid for my education. In return, it helped me to become a LPN. Enlightening with the nursing profession, but not the politics and management of the nursing field. The negative points made me decide to pursue my degree even further. My Associate degree in nursing was pursued and my Register Professional Nursing license was granted to me in July of this year. Furthermore, my next step is to earn my Bachelor Degree at Mercy College, since I do not want to waste no time. In addition, pursuing a bachelor degree is a way to become more marketable to employers and increase my
Leading You to a Healthy Lifestyle: Nurse Practitioners. I have imagined myself in several different careers that have interested me as I've grown up, from styling hair to being a fashion designer, and even a professional singer. Now, even though it is crazy to believe time has flown by so fast, I am at the age where I am deciding what I want to major in. Even though all of those professions I listed above were very interesting, there was one job when I was growing up that I knew would be a stable and interesting profession: a nurse practitioner. I have always been interested in health sciences and seeing as though I was familiar with a doctor’s office/hospital setting due to being born with a birth defect, I felt that nurse practitioner was the most suitable job for me.
The significance of this article is that nursing is continually changing. The role of the nurse will always be based on direct care giving, however, nursing as an occupation is professional.
Nursing’s development from an occupation to a profession follows the devotion and sacrifice of many amazing women throughout history. Considered to be one of the oldest professions, women have performed what could be considered nursing duties since the beginning of time. Although there have been many events and many individuals who have contributed to nursing’s evolution from the occupation it was once considered to the profession that now exists, the development of formal education opportunities and scholarly resources and the women who created them is what fascinates me most. Without knowing, each of the following five women helped lay the groundwork for what Lucie Kelly, RN, PhD, FAAN, eventually termed the eight characteristics of a profession
Growing up, I did not want to become “just a nurse”. My mom and most of my friends’ moms were or are nurses. Nursing never seemed special to me because I was surrounded by nurses. I wanted to be different. I wanted to become a physician or physician assistant until I started applying to college. I had an epiphany while filling out my college applications, that I had no idea exactly what I wanted to be. All I knew was that I wanted to be in health care. I thought long and hard and put a more realistic and practical major down, nursing. Now here I am, almost done with my freshman year of college and still am a Pre-Nursing/Nursing major. There are many reasons why I aspire to
A Registered Nurse promotes health, prevent diseases and help patients cope with illness. When providing direct patient care, nurses observe, assess and record symptoms, reactions and progress, which provide the basis for care planning and intervention. I want to be a nurse because I have always had an interest in the medical field, and I have always wanted to have a career in which I can change lives. By being a nurse I will have the opportunity to help others. I will also gain medical knowledge not only to get or keep others healthy, but myself as well. I will continue to learn interesting things about the human body. I will be able to interact with interesting people in other healthcare professions, and gain knowledge from them as well.
While attending high school I always wanted to work in the healthcare field. I completed an emergency medical technician program at Valencia College. I started working at Florida Hospital Orlando (FHO) as a psychiatric technician in their behavioral health unit. While working at FHO I meet many nurses, I saw what they did, and desire grew on me to become a registered nurse. The path into becoming a registered nurse was a very confusing process for me because there are three entry levels of nursing, the bachelors science nursing (BSN) degree route, the associates degree (AD) route, and the diploma in nursing, which is basically a hospital based nursing school (Black, 2010, p. 60). After observing the available options and doing
Ever since I can remember I wanted to be in the medical field. It started off as an ambulance driver than a predication to now a family nurse practitioner. There are many reasons for me wanting to be all three of these but the one reason that is within all of them is the fact that I would not only get to care for people who are in a vulnerable state but also to have a chance to make an impact on their life. I am lucky that God has showed me that nursing is what I want to do at an early age because now I can put my whole heart into doing something that I know I am supposed to be doing and something that I love.
In my post secondary studies, many people are interested in what I want to do after I graduate and where I want to go in life. It is far rarer to have people ask the question of why. Why do I want to pursue a career in the medical field? Why do I want to spend my life helping people? Why do I want to attend the nursing program at Clarkson? My answer to the big question of why is not a simple one-faceted answer. I want to be a nurse for a myriad of reasons. In this reflection, I will touch on my long-lasting love for a career in medicine, my experience in school that solidified my desire to become a nurse, and the path that led me to apply to Clarkson College.
I try to live my life by this. You're not going to lose weight if you don't try, you're not going to get the A if you don't try. In the real world not everyone cares about you or your future. So it's your job to plan ahead, take initiative, and be responsible for your actions.
The Bachelors of Science Degree will be the key component to commencing my nursing career. This degree will impact my professional career goals in many different ways. Upon completion, I will be the first member of my family to receive any degree, let alone a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing. Not only have I made myself proud, but my mother and siblings as well for achieving such a great accomplishment. My journey in nursing began when I was a Home Health Aide, then progressing to Certified Nurse’s Aide. I worked mainly homecare jobs, but the passion I had and the care I provided was undeniably gratifying. I quickly pursued my Licensed Practical Nurse degree and was extremely proud of myself knowing that I slowly but surely was climbing the ladder of success. When I became an RN I felt satisfied in knowing that when I practice my craft, I know that I still have that same passion for my duties as I had in the beginning. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others, but I never in a million years did I ever think that I would be standing in the shoes I am in now, and with the title RN after my name.
Viktor Frankl said, “Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked” (Frankl, 1959, p.131). We are constantly being presented with opportunities to make our lives worth living. Choosing a profession is one of those opportunities, and I do not want to let it go to waste. I have spent the last four years of high school contemplating my college education and the profession that I want to pursue. The decision weighed heavily on me because I wanted to make sure that I chose a job that was both fulfilling and interesting to me. I want my future career to contribute to my ultimate “meaning”, and I believe I have finally found something worthwhile. I have chosen nursing as my profession because I want to combine my fascination with the medical field and my desire to change the lives of people. I am hoping that my education will help prepare me to live a life of meaning.
When I was in middle school I was inspired to become a nurse, so when I was in high school I took up nursing as a course and also did an internship when I was a senior at John F. Kennedy High School. That internship opened my eyes and it made me want to become a nurse. As soon I as stepped into my first year of college, every semester I started to lose interest. So during this past summer I decided to try out Secondary education, so far I like what I am learning.
Why did you choose the career for which you are preparing for? Nursing is the career that I am preparing for; why? Because nurses are the men and women, who dress in scrubs every day to care for others. Nurses are the men and women who sometimes lack sleep and miss out on family get-togethers to serve their community. Nurses are the men and women who protect others from sickness and other health issues. Nurses are the men and women who remain calm in hectic situations to provide the care that others may need. Nurses are the men and women who are there to give moral support to others twenty-four seven. The reason nursing is a career that I choose is that they are respected because of their occupation, they have the knowledge to save lives, and they have flexible jobs and locations.
Therefore, I would like to get the education that helps me pursue my career that involves caring and nurturing. As of now, I want to work harder toward being a better student in nursing that will help me graduate as a qualified and a knowledgeable candidate. After graduation, I want to serve the community by promoting and maintaining health in the society. In order to build the financial independence as well as to implement my knowledge and ideas into practice, I would like to work. Along with that, I would also like to continue my education so that I gain better expertise in providing the best level of care.
I have always loved working in fields that are considered “hands on”. I have always loved working with multiple people that come from many different backgrounds. I think having that around me, makes things interesting and helps me stay interested. I thought I had found my career choice for the rest of my life in nursing. However, life happens for people sometimes in a way you never imagined possible. In my situation, I became very ill during the peak of my nursing career. Due to this, working as a nurse was very hard on my body. I was advised by my surgeon and cardiologist that I should think of a career change or take my nursing career off the floor and start working behind a desk in the medical field. Working behind a desk did not appeal to me at all!
