To be a nurse means more than being a caregiver; it means being selfless, compassionate and committed to serving patients and their families with top-notch care. Nursing is also a passion and requires a deep desire to care for others both physically and emotionally. My decision to be a nurse stems from this deep desire to care for others. I enjoy helping people and doing what I can to enhance the lives of those around me.I’ve always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a little girl.Nursing is a lifetime career. It is not just a job. It is a state of being. Nursing is one of the most respected occupations. Nurses have the trust and respect of their clients and others. They are loved and appreciated by all. Nursing is comprised of many duties …show more content…
and responsibilities. I have always stood up for what I believe in and as a nurse I can for my patients what they may not be able to do for themselves. I am their advocate, protector, caretaker and so much more. I believe that nursing is a profession that patients’ respect and look to as a very important person in their care. I chose a career in nursing because I wanted to encompass this role and be able to give my patients some comfort while they are in a concerning situation. I believe it is extremely difficult to obtain someone’s trust, especially in a short period of time, and that is what nurses are asked to do day in and day out. Not only are nurses expected to comfort patients, but also do a number of tasks that include medication administration, procedures and much more. My labor and delivery nurse (L&D) nurse held my hand, comforted me and stayed with me long after her shift had ended. Even when the next shift’s nurse arrived, my nurse stayed. She had a real concern to see me through and to see the safe delivery of my baby. I wondered how she could care this much about me- someone she had never met. Didn’t she want to get home to her own family? Whatever compelled her to stay with me, I wasn’t quite sure, but she stayed. Her quiet presence in the room was a source of comfort and strengthNursing requires superb time management skills, which is the most challenging part of nursing; you have so many things to do in so little time. Nursing is a very important profession that makes a large impact on the patient’s hospital experience, and this is why I wanted to become a nurse. One of the most satisfying aspects of a nurse is being able to care for patients at a time when they are in need My intent on becoming a nurse began in my childhood as I admired the professionalism, dress code, etiquette and integrity which are part of the nursing career.The desire to help those who are in need is very important to me It is about striving for equal, fair, and compassionate care for all humanity. Care that does not discriminate by age, color, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. Everyone deserves the same level of attention and care. I want to get the most out of my education so I can provide the highest quality care for my patients. It wasn’t until 2007, when I gave birth to my daughter, that my passion for nursing returned. I was young when I had my daughter and I was very scared. The nurses at the hospital helped me get through that experience and made me feel very special. From that moment on, I realized how important being a nurse was to me; because I love making people feel comfortable and safe just knowing that someone cares. I just don’t want to be a nurse who does my job and that’s it. I want to make a change and have some type of impact on peoples’ lives. I want my patients’ to leave the hospital knowing that I love being a nurse and that my ultimate goal is making sure that they are well taken care of. I also want to be a leader and a patient advocate when necessary, which will make me a better nurse in the long run. Having once been a patient, together with my admiration for nurses' hard work and dedication, I became passionate about nursing. Through good work ethics, knowledge, devotion and my background in research, there is so much I can offer to the nursing profession.
Nursing is in my thoughts daily. Even when I take breaks during the day, they never really are breaks because I find myself on Google searching Nurse Residency programs, Master’s programs, hospitals where I could potentially see myself practicing, or sometimes reading unreliable nursing blogs. I believe in the value of nurses, I believe I will one day be a nurse just like those I now admire, and I thank this scholarship for also believing in my potential as a future nurse. I have always been interested in the health field. Originally, I thought I would want to become a doctor, but as I learned the differences between what makes a doctor and what makes a nurse, I realized that a nurse is who I am meant to be. Becoming a nurse is what I’ve anxiously been waiting to finally achieve Through my experiences, I have learned to never give up nor let anyone or anything get in the way of what you are truly passionate …show more content…
about. In order to be a successful nurse you need to have a lot of dedication and compassion. I think those are two very important characteristics to have in order to deal with the difficulties of this profession. It also involves caring for the welfare of others with true compassion and concern while also striving to help people regain their strength and wellness. When people are sick or going through hard times, a simple kind word, smile or hug makes a huge positive difference. Anyone can be a nurse, but it takes a special kind of person to be a good one and it begins with love and a passion to help others. I would like to make a positive impact while taking care of people as it provides a joy that I simply can’t describe. This provided me with inspiration, and I began to envision myself in the role of a nurse. Nurses can make a profound impression on their patients and it is my hope to be able to make impression to my patients when I become a nurse. As a nurse I will treat my patients with respect and also provide an environment in which they feel comfortable and important. I am determined to make a change in my life by pursuing a career that has always been my dream.
I want to help others and give back to my community as a nurse. Obtaining a BS in nursing is a critical step towards making my dreams a reality. I plan to further my education and get a Masters in Nursing, so that I may serve as a Nurse Practitioner to low income families. While doctors treat the disease, nurses care for the individual as a whole, and that is what attracted me to the profession. Life is a precious gift, and by becoming a nurse not only can I contribute to improving the health and safety of a patient, but I can also help make their stay in the hospital a comfortable one. As a nurse I will have to be careful, kind, patient, alert, and a critical thinker just to name a few; but I am ready for these tasks and more. I am being prepared to be the nurse that will have a positive impact in the life of every patient that I encounter while providing optimum care. I also anticipate the impact that others will be able to have in my life. Seeing the strength and optimism of a very ill patient, hearing the stories of people’s lives, witnessing the ill become well, and knowing that I made a difference even if it is merely putting a smile on someone’s face will make my journey worthwhile. Nursing gives me the opportunity to provide families with excellent and compassionate care- the kind of care that some of my family members have received and the kind of care that I would like
for them to continue to receive if necessary. In my view, nursing is not just a profession that is practiced at the work place but rather everywhere: in the home, within communities of diverse culture, public areas and anywhere there is life. It is a profession that is practiced to save lives on one hand and to teach prevention methods on the otherI believe that there is no greater feeling than being among a team of other nurses and hospital workers with a common interest and goal of giving hope to the young and elderly who entrust us with their lives. I also understand that nursing is a dynamic field and one that requires continually keeping up with the latest medications, procedures and medical technology. I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to pursue a career that will combine my desire to help others with a lifetime of learning. I cannot wait to start my career and dedicate my life to nursing. I am positive that I can make a difference in the lives of others. My ultimate goal is to obtain my Master of Science in Nursing where I can then become an educator in a teaching-based hospital or nursing school. Nursing is being the best person you know how to be every time you introduce yourself to a patient. Nursing is loving each moment, even when you don’t, because it’s all a part of the bigger picture of patient care and just…simply…caring. Nursing is beautiful. I am extremely passionate about helping others in a health-related environment, and I can imagine nothing more fulfilling than waking up every morning knowing that my I look forward to a career in nursing, not only as a job, but as an opportunity to make a difference by serving and providing care, comfort, value, and dignity to the many patients I will encounter. career is my passion.
I have always had a passion for nursing. As a child, I watched my mother getting up early, putting her scrubs on and headed out the door for a 12 hour shift. She was always content, and at ease to go for a long shift and even overtime at times. I love the fact that after work, she would always come home, satisfied with the day no matter how hard it was for her. She would sit and tell my brothers and sisters how she enjoyed the conversations that she had with her patients and what impact she had on their lives that day. Listening to these stories as a child, I knew that I wanted to become a nurse and listening to the same stories and helping people, making their day feel better. I wanted to follow my mom’s footsteps. At the end of a long shift, it is a rewarding profession, knowing that I am saving people’s lives, making them comfortable when they are near of dying, advocate and teaching them. As nurses, we care for patients through illness, injury, aging, health. We also promote health, prevent diseases and teaching the community; that’s what I love about nursing. I believe that this is the right profession for me because I have all the qualities that a nurse should possess when
Nursing Corps scholarship program mission is to provide qualified and dedicated nurses to provide amazing care to patients in underserved communities. It will be an honor for me to serve and provide quality care to patients when I graduate from nursing school and pass the board exam.
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
A nurse’s role in our society today is exceptionally significant. Nurses are somewhat idolized and looked to as our everyday “superman”. “The mission of nursing in society is to help individuals, families, and groups to determine and achieve physical, mental, and social potential, and to do so within the challenging context of the environment in which they live and work” (“The Role of a Nurse/Midwife”). Many Americans turn to nurses for delivery of primary health care services and health care education (Whelan). In our country, there is constantly someone in need of health care. There will always be a baby being born or a person dying, someone becoming ill or growing old. Some people due to their physical and/or mental state of health are completely dependent on a nurse and wouldn’t be able to get through the simple obstacles of every day, or achieve the necessary requirements of a simple day without their aid. Not only do nurses help, and assist you when you’re sick, but also act to promote good health to others. They end...
My interest in nursing is fairly new; I had not explored the potential that a nursing career can offer. I became familiar with nursing professionally after becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. While working with patients, side-by-side with nurses I became enamored with the potential of a nursing career. I now have a rewarding career working as a Medical-Surgical nurse on a Medical University Hospital floor that specializes in Transplant, Nephrology and Urology. Nursing encompasses the ideologies that fuel my passion, upon further research, and conversation with coworkers I realize my career goal of Family Nurse Practitioner; affording me the privilege to care for others by reaching out to various
When a person decides on becoming a nurse, they make the most important decision of their life. From that moment on they choose to dedicate themselves to the care of others. As a nurse, I understand that my setting is not one where people desire to be in. I understand that I’m not part of a patient’s favorite chapter they have written down in their book of stories, but I hope when they look back through their chapters of life they sometimes smile when they pass the pages I was part of, knowing how well they were cared for in my hands.
Nursing is constantly evolving and changing, in order to be more efficient in providing care than in the past. The nursing profession includes professionals who are not only caregivers but support systems as well as educators. All these factors help to provide optimal care for patients and to also better serve their families and the community. All nurses are encouraged to break down the simplistic notion society has about the nursing profession because nursing is a multi-faceted profession encompassing many different factors that are beneficial to overall human development and health.
Nursing is a promising career that offers many rewards to caring individuals. It is more than just a job that one attends day to day. Nursing is a career that kind people get in to because they are passionate about life and everything is has to offer. They care for people they have never met before in such a way that makes the patient feel comfortable and able to relax. In a way that makes it possible for the patient to recover from whatever they have encountered. If I am going to spend valuable time and money on education, I want to a job that I absolutely love. I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that my job is safe even when times are rough. Interviewing Jennifer H, a Registered Nurse at a local Banner facility really helped me get insight on what the position has to offer. I have encountered many people who are not passionate about their job and just show up for a paycheck; choosing a job in the medical field provides people with the same check, but also offers job security, advancement opportunities and numerous benefits for the employee and their famil...
In my past nursing experience, I have seen people compromise their daily living due to a medical conditions, which makes me continue to strive to be a better human being. As a nurse you save a life every day, it doesn’t matter if it’s a minor or major change you have provided, at the end of day it still matters. A simple smile on the patient’s face or their family members is enough to make me do this job, and nothing else, for the rest of my
As International, it is more than an opportunity for me to study at this wonderful college. I am pursuing the Nursing Field and it is very challenging, but still I could see myself in the near future as a wonderful nurse. For this to happen I surely will need some help, and it will contribute to my success.
When individuals think of scholarships, they tend to believe in the free money through the government, small or large businesses, and just a person who wants to make a difference. However, when thinking of scholarships, I realize the opportunities of the organization(s) are helping me reach my dreams and goals throughout life. In addition, organizations helping me reach my goals will influence other individuals to go through the same path as I am. During this essay, I’ll discuss the specific demographic that will help my patients by using my nursing skills, how my background has helped me realize the importance of contributing to my community, and most importantly, the less fortunate than myself. After deciding for many years, I’ve decided to become a nurse in the medical field.
First, I would like to start by stating that my expectation of a nurse is that he or she must be a good communicator, emotionally strong, empathetic, patient and calm, pay attention to detail and have good physical endurance. I feel that I possess these qualities which would make me very successful as nurse in the future. I have dream about being a nurse since I was a little girl and as a young adult, I still have the desire to be a nurse so I can help others. My desire to become a nurse evolves from past experiences that have taken place in my life; for example, my father’s death, my illness, personal experience and interaction with the hospital staff, specifically, the nurses.
The medical field is filled with many rewarding jobs and one of those jobs is being a nurse: the job of taking care of people who are sick, injured, or old. Seems like a pretty easy task doesn’t it? Nursing takes time and skill to learn, but a lifetime to perfect it to the best ability anyone can. Being a nurse is one of the
I have always wanted to become a nurse since I was a little girl, seeing both of my grandmothers working in a hospitals and always helping everyone in need. My goals in becoming a nurse is just the basic foundation of just helping people who physically cannot help themselves. I want to be able to shed light in people's lives who are losing it because of their situation. I feel as nurses is the backbone in the hospital. The nurses are there day in and day out with the patients, holding their hands and walking them and their families throughout such a difficult time. Nurses are also their supporting the doctors and all other staff. I’ve found especially in these past few years that I want to spend my life helping others and that's what I can
Some of the most gratifying things about being a nurse is the distinctive role we have with those we care for. Our role encourages openness and transparency for clients and their families to reveal things to us they may not be willing to say under most circumstances. Furthermore, nursing is a life path that comes with incalculable responsibilities to be both a compassionate health care provider and a conscientious advocate. This semester I had the opportunity to experience nursing from the perspective of a Community Health Nurse in Montclair, California. It has given me a chance to practice these responsibilities in different ways. It has also given me a new perspective on nursing.
