Becoming A Postpartum Nurse

Since I was a little girl, I always dreamt of becoming a nurse when I grew up. My passion for helping people started when I was old enough to understand that my grandmother had diabetes. I would stay at her house and play nurse and check her insulin level. However, I am excellent with newborns and young children, which has driven me in the direction of becoming a postpartum nurse. To hopefully make a generous difference, my goal is to one day open my own clinic. The clinic would specialize in children and pregnant women. Midwives would be available for patients uncomfortable coming to the clinic and check ups for newborns and children between the ages of one and ten would also be available. My overall purpose is to make people's life easier

and become an advocate for patients and their families. I am very kind hearted and patient and now that I have a goal set for myself, I will not settle for anything less than the best. My grandmother always told me that a smile could go a long way and the greatest accomplishment is not about how much money you make or what material thing you can buy. It is about the lives you can change and the memories that have the opportunity to be made. Being a nurse requires a lot of hands on activities and learning to be patient and understanding, especially working with children. I do not want people to remember me based on how big my house was or if I drove the nicest car. I want people to remember the valuable things I did and how special it was for me to touch someones heart and change their life.
