Why Become A Registered Nurse

The career I chose to pursue is to be a registered nurse. Being a registered nurse comes with great responsibilities and leadership, because I see myself as a leader. I have gone through many situations that include leadership. Nurses working in any setting must possess excellent communication, decision-making, teamwork, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills (Heinrich, Anna).
When I was a young child I wanted to do things like taking control when kids were injured. I was always there helping when a classmate was injured. That’s when I knew I was going to get a career in the medical field. I talked to my parents about what I wanted to do when I was in eighth grade. I told them that I wanted to be a registered nurse and they said it was going to be very strenuous. They always told me to work hard in school and never give up on my dreams. My parents said to purse my career and anything could happen.

I have set specific goals for myself to pursue my career and out of the goals I have set, these three are the ones that I am focusing on the most.

I am focusing on advancing my public speaking skills. To do this I have to learn to not fear rejection and to be organized and prepare extensively. Secondly, I would like to pursue my bachelor’s degree of science in nursing. In order to do that I have to work hard, study every day, and not procrastinate. My last goal is to exceed performance expectations. For instance, my homework will be completed on time, and all tasks will be performed to the best of my abilities, which the teachers and doctors will expect from

me.
I have taken, and am currently taking classes that link with the medical field. One of the classes I have started, is called “CMA”, which stands for (certified medical assistant), this class helps me so much. I go to clinical at a hospital in a small town, Friona, TX, this gives me more experience in what I’m pursuing. I am also a nurse’s assistant at my high school and have gained a great deal of knowledge from this. By doing these things, I have the potential to become a registered nurse.
Registered nurses are nurses that have a wide variety of opportunities to choose from. They take care of patients that are sick or injured, they give the medicine and provide advice, and emotional support to the patient or their family. They monitor, record, and report symptoms of the patient’s condition. Registered nurses have a plethora of responsibilities on their hands. A registered nurse has multiple options to choose from. For example, they could specialize in being a neurosurgery nurse, fight transport nurse, etc.
My dream has always been to be a registered nurse, I love working with people and doing everything I can for them. I am going to college to get my bachelor’s degree and pursue the dream that I have always wanted to accomplish. I have set many goals for myself and I am going to strive for success. With the help of my family and teachers I will achieve all my goals.
