Personal Narrative: My Goal Of Becoming A Nurse

For is weeks reading assignments I want to start by admitting this was a mass amount of reading to take in. Undoubtable I was impressed with the amount of knowledge I took away from this assignment. The nursing career is hard to explain while identifying exactly what the career entails. This task isn’t foreign to me because I’m constantly confronted with questions from other people, “what is it like raising two special need kids?” as well as “how do you manage it all?” While reading I found myself chuckling at how society needs a clean cut definition to what a nurse is. Any mom can tell you what the beginning steps to nursing are however that is only a small glimpse into the role of nursing. There are a few people within our book that stood

In order to reach one’s goal, the goal should be well defined, firm and the individual must be completely committed to attaining it. Pursuing a career as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner has always been my driving goal throughout all my education and training since the age of seventeen. Over the past three years working within a Surgical Inpatient unit as a Registered Nurse, I have become aware of the lack of community resources and access to health care available in rural areas. This has inspired me apply to the University of Western Ontario’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program for the fall of 2014. After completing my Bachelor of Science of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario, I am certain that no other

Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, once said, “I attribute my success to this:—I never gave or took an excuse.” That is an outlook on life I try to live up to. I have had a few set backs in my college career to keep me from achieving my goal of becoming a Registered Nurse. I could have easily given up on my dream but I took those hardships and turned them into fuel to keep going. My father suffered a massive heart attack and went into cardiac arrest when I first started college. It completely flipped by life upside down. I spent weeks at a time in the hospital with him. Seeing him go in and out the hospital for years reaffirmed my need to become a nurse and help others like how those nurses took care of my father. Once I

My name is Alexis Leann Guthrie and I am 21 years old. Recently, I completed my associates of arts degree at Jones County Junior College. I am currently enrolled in my first semester of nursing school at the University of Southern Mississippi. As a transfer student, I have experienced many changes in this past month. I have a goal to graduate this nursing program and go back to school to earn my Nurse Practitioner degree. My first year at Jones County Junior College, I was a Pre-med major. After many prayers and job shadowing, I felt that God was leading me to become a nurse. In this paper, I want to tell you about my own personal nursing philosophy as a beginner-nursing student.

When in the early stages of planning my life, I knew exactly what it was I inspired to do. I wanted to save lives. I did not know how I was going to complete that task at hand, but I knew that I was going to be saving someone’s life. So, starting nursing school was one of the jubilant moments of my life. I am ecstatic to be on my journey on becoming a well-rounded and educated nurse. Nursing is a profession that requires a great deal of care and knowledge of the human body and as a nurse I plan to be cultivated and discerning.

I am Brania Shant’A Kimbrough. I am 17 years old currently a student at Euclid High School. I plan on becoming a nurse Midwife. When I was younger all I loved was taking care of babies and I think the birthing process is a miracle. One of my big focuses is helping out with others when I can. I plan on starting college in the fall of 2017. During high school my main focus was to make good grades and stay on the right track. I made honor role throughout most of my high school years. I struggled with a couple courses but tried my hardest to not fail myself or the courses. When I became a junior I started to think about college and where I would fit in at. I couldn’t decide between going for nursing or occupational therapy. They are both outstanding

My journey to get through nursing school has been nothing short of difficult and I have learned so much about myself over the past four years. After graduating from high school, I attended the University of Iowa where I was originally majoring in athletic training to fulfill prerequisites for medical school and ultimately become a physician. I wanted to major in athletic training because I enjoyed being a student athletic trainer in high school and because it would unique and stand out when applying for medical school. Over the summer before I started college I realized that I only desired to be a physician because I wanted to be smarter than my mother who is an advanced practice nurse. I knew I wanted to go into the medical field, but I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do anymore.

When I first started college, I had several questions I asked myself regarding my future. I thought about what my major would be and what my living arrangements would look like post-grad, but I never questioned what my future career would look like. While I had an overwhelming amount of options, I always had a fixed certainty that I would be in the medical field. The only question was in what capacity? Coming in as a freshman, I could have studied to be a surgeon, a doctor, or even a medical lawyer. Ultimately, I knew that changing people’s lives through medicine was my passion—I just needed to find an outlet. However, not once did my 18-year-old self think that I would find my way into a nursing career. As I’ve come to find, life rarely works out as planned. What lead me on the pathway to becoming a nurse is all but conventional, yet I would not change any

When working as a health unit coordinator some of my my duties is to transcribe doctor orders, process doctor orders, make appointments for clients, order supplies as needed. When I am working as a nursing assistant my job requires me to bathe and dress patients, take vital signs, serve meals, set up medical equipment, answer call lights as needed, observe changes in clients

A recent nursing graduate seeking for a role to utilise my effective communication and interpersonal skills, medical theoretical knowledge and compassion to develop partnerships with individuals to ultimately help and make positive changes to their lives and to your hospital. In addition, seeking to consolidate and expand my clinical skills as a new graduate nurse in the perioperative program. I believe that I am honest, hard-working, professional, dedicated to learning and strives to provide high-quality best patient care in fast-paced environments.

While roaming through life’s path, have you ever found yourself trapped between two directions? This happens too frequently, but there are those who remain trapped and there are those who advance. I chose to be happy, in spite of the many challenges. I motivated myself to fight, even though it meant to feel weak. The person, who I am now, will never be who I was before. I have learned that true beauty doesn’t rely on faking a smile, but having reasons to smile and to dream. As a student, I have many goals, but my ultimate goal is to help people. Although I am limited in resources, I know that I can be well prepared to assist others. I strive to become a pediatric nurse, to not only work with children but their family as well. “For my purpose is not to be served, but to serve others”.

Initially I was very apprehensive in sharing the truth behind what ultimately made me decide to return to school to become a nurse. This would entail reliving both joyful and painful memories of my life which I believe to have mapped out the path that I was meant to follow. I was a young, stay at home mom for many years. being the full time primary care giver to my three children was the most rewarding experience of my life. reflecting back I have found remarkable similarities in the traits and skills of mothers and nurses. many of these characteristics are utilized by nurses with each and every patient they encounter . These include but are not limited to compassion , empathy, prioritization, dedication, understanding nonverbal communication.

Growing up in a remote village in West Africa (Sierra Leone), I remember how perplexed I was on my first day of school and the months following. Waking up early in the morning and walking several miles to school was not a pleasant thing anybody would love doing. Thanks to my middle-school teacher, Mr. Smith, a peace cop from the United States; he influenced me immensely on the importance of education. He used to tell me stories of his past experiences and other successful people about their struggles in life, which I believe served as a motivating factor for me to be where I am now in life.

When every girl in your family becomes a nurse, choosing a career can be quite pressuring, especially when you can never imagine yourself becoming a nurse. Nurses remind me of blood, and I am definitely not the type of person to be working with blood. Therefore, I am not very interested in becoming a nurse. Nurses are here to aid people when they are sick. There are tons of different types of nurses. Two specific ones are RN and BSN. A RN is a registered nurse while a BSN is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Although both jobs will take part in treating a patient, the BSN will have a leader role while the RN helps.
