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. Years ago I have taken the steps in accomplishing in becoming a certified CNA and Phlebotomist where I have always been inspired by my mom who is a retired nurse now and also was a dialysis patient but my mom still had the drive to continue to work as a RN because this is what she loved to do. My mom was eventually through the years of her working as a nurse, she was blessed with a kidney from finally putting her name on the donor’s list in order to complete her compassion as a RN. My mom is doing very well, from time to time my mom does registry. I am currently working as a certified Dialysis tech at Davita Dialysis working in an outpatient setting where I enjoy my work I do
For the past several years I have known almost every detail of what I plan to do after high school. I have always been extremely passionate with helping those in need, and caring for other people. This, and the fact that my mother is a registered nurse, has led me to believe that pursuing a medical degree is what I am meant to do with my life. I have always loved school and always wanted to be important to those around me, and I feel as though being someone who cares whole-heartedly for those who are sick and ill, is a perfect way to express my passion for helping those in need. I came to the conclusion of joining the medical field several years ago after my first serious injury.
In doing so, nurses must be care-givers and educators - providing the necessary information, skills and knowledge, to their patients to allow for self-nurturance, well-being, and growth. I started my journey in the field of nursing two years ago. My personal values, combined with the strong desire to help others influenced me to enroll in the Licensed Practical Nurse program. This career path has provided such great opportunities to help others, and has allowed for my own personal growth. I am continuously looking for new and great ideas to better the field of nursing and the ultimate goal of helping those in need.
Taking care of patients takes a special type of person, and Cassandra Hetzel is the model RN. Nurses whether they are just starting out in their career, or they have been nursing for years could learn a thing or two from this incredible
Mandy Richard Professor Freeland NU 185 29 February 2012 RN Interview Report I selected the RN for my interview by choosing an RN I know well because I thought her input would be helpful, we knew each other, so we were on a friend basis, as well I felt that by knowing the person I could relate and talk to her more. The setting for the interview was via telephone because she is always busy working since she’s a new nurse and because I’m busy here at school. The RN I interviewed started her education by taking general education classes at St. Charles Community College. She took Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Biology, and some Psychology classes. She said that A&P is very important for a nursing student to grasp because in nursing it never goes away.
Laskowski-Jones (2007) stated “I’m sure both my position in the hospital and my education as a trauma nurse allowed me a rare privilege that isn’t typically offered to families” (p. 47). This opportunity should be offered to all families, as a rule, and not the exception because of stature. The purpose of the review should families be allowed during resuscitation; was to investigate if medical professionals concerns were supported. Will families have emotional scars from the experience of witnessing resuscitative efforts or will the grieving process be

The opportunity presented in this listing is very appealing, and I believe that my drive to succeed and education will make me a competitive candidate for this position.

They inspired me to take a training on end-of-life care which I completed just couple of weeks ago. It opened my eyes to this topic in many ways. I
Education is continuous in nursing. It is a process that evolves with experience and gaining various degrees. The skills needed to achieve my educational goals include using effective communication, team work and numerous certifications. Being a nurse was always what I would consider, a calling since I was in grade school. I was the only kid in my group of friends watching surgery shows and fascinated
