The Journal of Nursing Education states, “researchers found the concepts of caring and nurturance were identified as high motivators for choosing nursing” (Williams, Wertenberger, Hames, Gushuliak, 1997). At that time, I was working back office at a Urology office and was going to school. I decided one day that to be able to provide for my daughter if something were to happen between my husband and I that I could always support us. Therefore, my journey began. A Journey Amongst Friends I was fortunate enough to go to nursing school with my best friend Harley.
I have always wanted to be in the nursing field because of the stability and I have a care nature for every just about every living thing.

Being in the hospital environment was thrilling; I was excited that I had the opportunity. Being a volunteer, I helped with the nurses in the recovery room with patients fresh from surgery. I was able to see how the nurses talked, cared, and helped the patients in their recovery. What really interested me the most, was what went on behind the doors the patients came from; the operating rooms. Being so curious I asked the nurse manager of the operating rooms if I could watch a surgery, and I was able to see a full knee replacement.
My choices in life have not always been easy. Graduating in 2002 with barely the schools requirements, I always considered myself an average student that always ended up putting school activities and functions before my classes. Coming close to graduation and the option of going into a nursing program at a local community college I set my life into a different direction and signed up 3 years of my life with Uncle Sam with the United States Army. Having my military career abruptly end after the second year I found myself more in hospitals rather than being able to train with my company. In the hospitals that I was serviced at, I was amazed on the professionalism that the medical staff gave its patients.
Good paying salary is something that was important me. Being a role model to my kids was another really big factor with returning to school. I really struggled with wanting to go back to school.

I am not doing just for me, but for them to, and when there were times when we had to stay home of a night because I had a test or exam that needed done, they will understand.

Just like now, school is my life since I started kindergarten. I will probably working everyday during the week with average to long hours just to earn a living for my family. I would want to pursue what I like and what I am good at in college. This will lead me to a job in that field. However, I will mostly be working for money rather than fun in life.
