Why I Want To Become A Nurse Practitioner

During my junior year, I found out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I was always worried about my future because I thought I was not going to know what to do for my career. I did not realize that I have been doing what I liked for so long. At first, I wanted to become a nurse. I always liked the idea of helping people, especially children. I wanted to be a neonatal nurse or a pediatric nurse because I adore interacting with children which is why I decided to join the tutoring program to tutor first to sixth graders after school. The first day, I realized that I liked teaching and helping them and the best part was that they liked me too. Some days, they would wait for me so I could be the one to play with them and help

Throughout my four years of college, I wanted to learn about myself and the world. I did not want to follow a particular path or be strict with myself. Now, as a graduate I discovered my passion for health and helping people. I want to volunteer at New York Methodist Hospital because I want to learn more about health while getting to help people feel at peace during a difficult time in their life. I am ready to learn and I am ready for a new experience. I want to learn from accomplished individuals and further my knowledge in health for when I decide to go to nursing school. At the age of 5, I had to help my grandma because she could not walk due to arthritis of the spine and knee. At a young age I learned how one person can make a difference

It is not a crime to dream. Every individual sets high exceptions for what career they want. Some dream of becoming the President of the United States of America, a scientist, or even a therapist. I want a career where I can make an impact on the world. My whole life revolves around wanting to work in the medical field. My dream is becoming a nurse practitioner. I want to help care for people, their families, and to work in the field where everyday is different. I want to hold the family members hands and tell them that everything is alright. I not only want to make a difference in the lives of my patients, i also hope to make a difference in the nursing and medical field in general. to achieve the dream of becoming a nurse practitioner, I must drop the habits that hold me back and slow me down right now. Bad habits not only slow my progress my habits but also keep me from moving forward. Giving up too soon, my lack of focus, and my perfectionism hold me back in everyday life.

As my high school career ends, I notice increasingly how much life that I have yet to live and the opportunities available to me in the years ahead. The past four years have been great preparation for my future endeavors, but college is the path leading to my full potential. In order to reach the end of this path, I utilize my most valuable trait—determination—to set short and long-term goals and achieve them. It is with this “can do” spirit—like the one my grandpa, a former Navy Seabee, evinces through his stories—that I have set my personal goals: to volunteer my time in service to others, further develop leadership skills through experiential learning, and excel at my school work no matter how challenging it may seem. Though these may

Almost thirteen years ago, my life changed when my youngest daughter was born with undiagnosed medical problems. The challenge of finding answers consumed my life. My family and I spent a significant amount of time searching for answers in and out of doctor’s offices and hospitals, always by our daughter’s side. Throughout my journey, I was able to learn a lot about the medical profession, including the differences between good and not so good healthcare professionals. We were fortunate to meet a lot of excellent doctor’s, nurses, and support staff, however, we also had our fair share of medical professionals that were not so great. At times our journey was extremely frustrating because we had to depend on medical staff that was uncaring and

"The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why." -Mark Twain. That has been a favorite quote of mine for as long as I can recollect. Some people spend their entire lives never knowing what it feels like to be able to earn a living while at the same time fulfilling their passion or dreams. However i would be lying if i was to say that i don 't understand why. I am thirty one years of age, and deciding to make a career change and leave the job that provides a security blanket, to pursue the job that provides me with a purpose is exhilarating but nonetheless terrifying. When asked the question "Why do you want to become a nurse?" I could answer the same way that everyone else does by saying what it is I anticipate you want to hear or i can answer with my heart, I choose the latter. While a sizably voluminous part of my zealousness for nursing is centered on helping people, it goes much deeper than that for me. I have always believed that i should pursue a career that i would be proud of. That if a stranger was to ask me what i do for a living, I can answer them with a sense of pride, confidence and self admiration. Nursing would give me that. The path that has lead me up to this point in my life hasn 't always been the the most rewarding but i did what many of us do, settled. Just letting the years pass by, and getting no closer to reaching my goal. For most of my adult life i have been in the restaurant industry working as a

When it comes to my education and career goals I have very many. The first one is to finish high school and in Fall 2017 I will be attending National Park College for the RN to BSN program. After I gain field experience I plan on furthering my education and becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Currently taking a Medical Professions and Terminology class at National Park to help further my knowledge for this career. Through this class I have also become a Certified Medical Billing Specialist (CMBS) and a Certified Medical Records Technician (CMRT).

Our ever-evolving healthcare environment is under the pressure of greater human longevity and emerging of new disease processes and scientific knowledge. It has become essential for health care professionals to adapt to changes in order to meet the needs of patients and community health. As an emergency nurse, I have the benefit of partaking in direct patient interaction, enhancing my knowledge, witnessing various disease progressions, and engaging in opportunities for professional advancement. I intend to provide the highest level of nursing practice in today’s increasingly complex health care system as I continue to develop my clinical skills and advance my role as an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) professional.

The college degree I am pursuing through Excelsior College is the Associate in Applied Science for Nursing. I plan on going on after this for my Bachelor’s degree in nursing, and when I complete this then I will decide if I plan on going any further in my education. Having 7 children, who are all still at home, gives me everyday challenges in just time management alone. I am learning to adjust my schedule even with sleep to accommodate in achieving my goal. I do know any challenge that I may face I will overcome and that I can achieve anything I set out to do. As I went through LPN school I was a single mom, working full time, with 4 children at home, and was able to succeed successfully in that. I plan on doing this again with my degree for a registered nurse.

Keen on aiding the helpless, nursing the sick and feeding the poor as a child; I knew then, that a doctor I shall be. Accomplishing more for my country is what I intend to achieve as my long term goal. For now, focusing on gaining useful knowledge to get me one step closer to becoming an RN (registered nurse) is one of the many things I want this year at the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI). Furthermore, broadening my interests by discovering new passions and becoming more independent to learn more about myself; are also what I want to achieve. Lastly, engaging myself in activities aimed at improving me as a critical thinker and a writer will be my forefront. I am confident that as I go through this college experience; I will accomplish

Many students change his or her career path and life goals several times in college, but I have a firm understanding and motivation regarding my career and expectations of myself that I intend to accomplish. My primary education goal is to complete the B.S.N. program at James Madison University. I am currently a freshman and have a long education career ahead of me, but I am up for the challenge. I chose to become a nurse because it will be my way of serving the community wherever I decide to settle. I have come to respect nurses and their important roles in the world through personal experiences. The most challenging situation I have faced in my short life is when my father was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. As a result, I was able to decide on my future career as a nurse, making it my primary

I Believe that Nurses should not only Love what they do, I believe that true Nurses are born to do what they do. At an early age I felt a deep connection to the Nursing field; I would look at Nurses and really admire them. It was not the Uniform that they wore that I admired, but what the uniform itself represented. For me Nurses represented helping, caring, loving, kind people and I knew that I was born to wear one of those uniforms.

One of my talents is that I have a big interest is in nursing,i've been wanting to become an RN since 7th grade.Not only do they get paid good they get health benefits, but they also get to help distribute medicine to patients.Most Rn’s work at hospitals and that's where I plan on working,it's the best place to start because you usually get a lot of patients and you get to learn a lot about many illnesses and conditions.Aside from that this has been one of my passions since I made it into high school, I took a few classes that lead me to be graduating, with a nursing sponsor and hopefully a CNA.This is my 1st year taking this CNA class and it's very exciting, i've had experience assisting at the Northeast Baptist hospital and now taking this

My reasons for taking this course first and foremost is it’s a requirement towards my BSN. Secondly, in nursing, we take on many roles and leadership is one of them. Learning about leadership and nursing management can only benefit and improve what leadership skills I currently have.

In fact, there are several reasons why I chose nursing as my profession. First and foremost is that I want to focus on changing people’s lives (Nurse Journal, 2016). As a nurse, I would study the life's value when I would be seeing individuals struggling to remain alive. Since I am fully aware that each life's breadth is a gift, I would, therefore, understand this lesson further as I would be nursing various patients daily. I greatly respect human life, I possess strong values and I am compassionate for empathy and suffering, factors that have further attracted me to the nursing profession. Second, nursing profession allows continuous learning. As I like learning, I would possess unlimited opportunities for advancing my medical knowledge. As such, I would capable of choosing to work in various departments, train to become a medical assistant and as well enter the nursing management where I would grow and mentor new nurses through sharing my knowledge
