Why I Chose Nursing Being a nurse is a very influential and rewarding profession. Nurses care for people through illness, injury, pain, loss, dying, grieving, birth, growth, aging and health. They not only care for people through illness, but they also promote health, prevent diseases and educate the public. We all know that nursing is a field that is concerned with helping people, yet I believe that in becoming a nurse, a person needs more than that desire to succeed. It is essential for a nurse to be open, strong, determined, thoughtful and caring.

Being a member of an organization is not required, but it is highly recommended.

I know that there is so much hard work I have to go through to get to that position though, but I’m already starting it. I have volunteered at the Staten Island University hospital for a year. I worked hard to get good grades into the Medical Program at school. Lucky for me those good grades paid off because I have been a certified medical assistant since I was 16. I am determined to obtain all of the experience and knowledge that it is required to get to where I want to be when I am older.
I feel that I have always had a connection to nurses in the medical field. I have always known that one I would love to help deliver babies and be a part of that support team for a new mom who is not really sure about the events that are going to happen. I remember when I had my
Agree to Disagree As a current RN student I started out my career in nursing from the bottom. I started at the beginning as a caregiver. The ability to shape and mold future nurses – andthereby indirectly impact countless patients’ lives “downstream” – is what makes a nursing faculty career so rewarding.
