I Want To Be A Registered Nurse Essay

What You Need To Know About A Registered Nurse
Everyone has a choice of what they want to choose as a career, and I chose a Registered Nurse. I was interested in this career because I always wanted to be a nurse and as I got older I learned that my Grandma was once a Registered Nurse and I thought well since she was a Registered Nurse then I will try to be one and see how it works out. The work schedule for being and RN is that you could get called into work at any time and you have to come into you work you can not make up an excuses(Registered). You could get called in to work night shifts even if your a day shift you also have to work on weekends, and maybe even holidays. You have to be able to work at any time any day(Registered). The

employment rate for when I actually start working will be sixteen percent(More than usual). Which means that there will be a lot of jobs opened for people on this career. Cause we need a lot of RN’s in the hospitals and doctors offices because we do a lot of the work and the tasks we do are actually easy.
To become a Registered Nurse or (RN) for short you have to take Anatomy, Chemistry, Psychology and Social and Behavioral Sciences.

You would also need a Bachelor’s degree or higher. You would need to feel comfortable about the work environment and be able to work on feet. Since you work with multiple patients you have to be caring and be able to give each patient there appropriate care. At DHS they offer HOSA which is Health Occupational Students of America and it helps me understand all the things I need to know about becoming an RN. When I start working my pay would start at $22.06 an hour, we could make as much as $47.54 an hour which would make the money I would make yearly

$98,900.00.
The abilities we have to know are not that hard we just have to know how to listen to people's problems and understand what they are going through. We also have to be able to talk and explain things so that the patient or whoever we are speaking to understands what we are going to try and do. There will always be problems that happen and we have to be able to solve them and we have to be able give people rules that we know they are going to understand. Being able to read and seeing ideas on paper is another ability. Being a Registered Nurse there are also responsibilities which are being able see patients reactions and understanding why they reacted that way. We have to know when and when not to ask questions. Also using reasoning and logic to point out the patient's strengths and weaknesses.
Standing on you feet and lifting and bending to pick things could cause back injuries and since we work with a lot of sick patients we could catch diseases.

We also use harmful drugs and substances. It’s not just the health hazards that could hurt you, being away from your family could to. Most of the time you would get called into work during very important times and you would have to leave because you made an oath to be there for your patients whenever they needed you. You could go to work thinking everythings fine but there are some limiting factors, you never know if someone could get you sick or give you a very deadly disease. You could accidentally hurt someone to and that could cost you your job or hurt

you.
There are some really good things about being an RN is that I could make really good money and I could also go home happy knowing that I am taking good care of someone. Knowing your taking care of someone is the best thing about being a nurse. There are other careers you could choose that basically do the same duties as Registered Nurses like if I wanted to be an Athletic Trainer they would hire me because I already know the basics. I could also try to be a Physical Therapist Assistant, EMT, or even a Nuclear Medicine Technologists. I would still be interested in being an RN cause I like to take care of people and would love going home knowing that I helped a very sick person. The money in this career doesn't really matter, it's the patients that matter and knowing that you go to work to take care of their needs. You will need a bachelor's degree and you must be licensed. You will not need any on the job training you just need to know the basic tasks.
