I always felt the need to care for someone since I know that I have the power and the choice to do so. My philosophy of nursing comes directly from my desire to help people. I wanted to be a nurse because I enjoy being around people in their times of need and I get internal satisfaction by serving those that need help. I remember when I was a child and my mom took me sometimes to her work. I loved going with her and see what she was doing like taking care of other people and help them get well.
I have done extensive research and I have never given up on becoming one. Being a mother of two, I have learned to have patience which I think is one of the characteristics a great nurse possesses. Nurses have some of the most fulfilling jobs and they require a lot of heart. Being a nurse requires you to be good at connecting on a genuine level with patients. Patients do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.
April Boone Mrs. Garcia English IV 20 September 2011 Neonatology Neonatology is a commodious field of medicine that integrates life changing decisions with perpetually unforgettable memories. There are times in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where life-saving technology is not enough for some babies, but blesses others. The NICU is so well-grounded it is very beneficial to those who get admitted. Although the NICU is beneficial and provides an abundant amount of support throughout the staff, the mental and emotional effects on all individuals involved is unbearable. However, being a part of the NICU is a blessing because of the interaction with little miracles that are fighting for their lives.
I have good communication skills and motivation to work on my own as well as being a strong member of a team. I have a calm manner especially in stressful situations and I strongly believe in treating people equally no matter of their ethnical or social background. I have been working at a hospital as a maternity support volunteer in a delivery suite. My role is to assist women in labour, help them ease the pain and make their birth experience as pleasant as possible. It could entail anything, from making a cup of tea, with midwife’s permission encouraging them to stay active, giving a soothing back rub, helping to have a wash, changing bedding and run any needed errands.

1. Following high school, I desire to pursue a college path to become a neonatal nurse. Helping with sick and premature babies, I would help with the beginning stages of life and contribute to a strong start to a family. I like change and with no two days the same it would never get boring.

(NURSESOURCE) The job outlook for a neonatal nurse is expected to experience much faster than average employment growth with high volume of annual job openings. (UTAHFUTURES) This is because there will always be a need for nurses of any kind but people will continue to have babies and they will need nurses to help them deliver their babies and help take care of them especially if the baby is having complications.

I enjoyed reading Nancy Mairs’s “On Being a Cripple” because she really emphasized the struggle she must endure each and every day with her disease and how she copes with the fact that her life will never be the same as it once was. After reading this essay, I have learned that having a crippling illness is no excuse to give up on what you love to do. Nancy Mairs proved herself by continuing to teach and be the best mother and wife she could be, even after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She would not let her condition keep her away from what she loved most in her life. Nancy Mairs is truly an inspiration to those suffering with MS and other crippling disabilities because she shows us that being disabled isn't the end of the world.
When someone tells you that a loved one or a friend has Alzheimer’s the most important thing to remember is to be strong and help the patient to cope with the disease. If they get where they can’t remember you don’t shy them of the love that they need. Show them that you care enough to not let them go through this alone. Alzheimer’s are affecting more and more of our elderly each day. As a nursing assistant I see both side every day and it’s not an easy job, but I have learned that there is joy where there is
