The medical field has always been something that has caught my attention. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to do something in the medical field, anything really but mainly something that I knew would help change the world a person at a time.

Being a nurse I can picture myself bandaging wounds and taking care of my patients.
Nurses are very efficient and organized people as well as intelligent. They supervise other nurses in their field and they hold knowledge not on the human nobody but also on medications and pharmaceuticals. Most nurses are employed in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, walk in clinics, schools, prisons and other places where medical assistance is required.

The thing that I love the most about nursing is that as a nurse you have the ability to choose what you would like to specialize in and what kind of people you would like to work with. My only concern is that because nurses are so hands-on with their patients, they need to have all the knowledge of a doctor as well because they need to know how the body works and how it reacts to certain things. Before I graduate from landmark I would like to volunteer that way I will get a sense of what it is like to be a nurse from now, and also because once the month of June is over, EOP programs begin and colleges like Sage require summer programs. I can’t wait to begin my journey into the career I dreamed of and although I will be closing a chapter in high school, I will soon be opening a new one for the rest of my life.
