I can identify with more than one nursing theory influencing my practice but the one I most readily relate with is Julia Brenner’s Theory of Novice to Expert. I believe the reasons started when I was a brand new nurse at a small rural critical access hospital. They sent me to a class for “novice” nurses. It was a class that purpose was to further educate and provide an environment where we could voice our experiences. The hospital had a hard time retaining employees and one motive for the class was helping new nurses feel more comfortable and helping us have meaningful, fulfilling employment.
It is college that opens a student’s mind to a career about which she feels passionate, such as nurse anesthesia. This desire to become a part of the nursing field may come from the wish to help others or simply a family tradition. Whatever the reason, any student who wishes to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist will find that East Carolina University is capable of fulfilling both the initial nursing school and the graduate school, where she will participate in an anesthesia program. This paper’s purpose is to discuss the nursing school offered by East Carolina University, as well as explore the career of the nurse
Most Associate degree nurse will continue to work at the bedside during their career as a nurse. A Bachelor degree nurse is an advanced degree and also allows for the nurse to work at the bedside but also allows the nurse to work in a much broader field in nursing. More education prepares a nurse many more options during their career. A Bachelor’s degree nurse can move to managerial positions that allow the nurse to supervise the entire wing of a hospital as a Director of Nursing for example. During nursing school the instructors always tell the students someday it may be a requirement for nurses to hold a bachelor’s degree to maintain a Registered Nurse position.
My career is challenging and has led me to contemplate pursuing an advanced degree in nursing and particularly the CRNA specialty. I am encouraged by a friend who is a CRNA in the Operating Room where I work but the true inspiration came from my own experience. Three years ago, anesthesia for my last minute successful emergent C-section was
Getting to the Goal Krystal McKeever HCS/301 Undergraduate Nursing Studies September 17, 2012 Barbara A. Deets Getting to the Goal Developing goals and sticking with those goals helps to achieve success. According to Hills (2011), “effective goal setting is an important practice management tool and personal development strategy that many individuals credit for their success” (p. 159).

In setting these goals, I will determine the skills needed to achieve my goal, the milestones I will need to accomplish, what barriers I may run into, and how I will overcome those barriers.

When becoming a nurse it should be something that you have always dreamed of this is a career that you should have passion for since it is working with people all day. When making the decision in becoming a nurse, I looked at all those options and still decided that this was the career for me. The median pay for a registered nurse is $64,690 a year or $31.10 a hour. In theory I think a nurse should be paid more because they do a lot of things and still don’t get paid enough in some states. Once I become a nurse I’m sure that I will make a great one and also be excited to come to the work place daily.
Personal Career Analysis: Registered Nurse The career that I chose to research is registered nursing. “Registered nurses (RNs) provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family member.”(Bureau of Labor Statistics)I am interested in this field because I like to be able to help people with their problems. I was inspired to go into this field because I have had many medical problems throughout my life and I would like to be able to help people the way I was helped. I feel that being a nurse will give me the opportunity to meet new people and understand some of the issues that people deal with in everyday life. Becoming a nurse has been a long life goal of mine.
In addition, health assessment, nursing types, patient care, and child and infant care are common nursing program courses. These courses will create a need for a lot of time dedicated to studying and completing assignments. Along with the course requirements, students will be required to spend time completing clinicals. Clinicals are designated times students spend working in hospitals, NICU’s (Neonatal Intensive Care Units), and well-newborn nurseries. Students are supervised and evaluated by licensed nurses while completing clinicals.
You learn how things in the body are supposed to work. Then she said each semester they concentrated on certain things: Pediatrics, OB, Mental Health, Pharmacology, and then they went through each body system in Medial Surgical. The RN I interviewed also started her skills lab then. She would get a lesson, then demo, then she would have time to study, have a written test, and she would have to go one and one into her skill check off lab and demonstrate the skill back to her instructor. She said that skill started off with basics like vital signs, wound care, colostomy care, tracheostomy care, chest tubes, starting Iv’s, accessing central lines, suctioning, putting in foley catheters, etc.
