I Want To Pursue Nursing School
I often get asked the question of what makes me want to pursue nursing? Or, why would I want to attend nursing school? To answer the question(s), there are numerous reasons as to how my interest in nursing came about and what makes me strive towards a possible future in nursing. For instance, like most individuals interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare field, I love helping people. Not only people, but specifically babies. I relish the idea of being able to take care of newborns. The thought of being able to nourish and nurture a premature infant back to health, and helping make mothers feel at ease brings me joy. To me nursing is essential because there will always be someone in need.

Unfortunately, there are some “mothers to be”, that don’t necessarily deserve the privilege of being a mother due to mistreatment to themselves during, while or even after their pregnancies.There are also a lot of mothers that simply don’t want their newborns. Situations like those make me sick.

Throughout life, I have grown up watching them as well as listened to them about helping those in need and making an impact on one's life. Observing my mom is what kind of triggered the fire in me to research careers not only in nursing but in the healthcare field as well. Another little push in getting me to think about nursing was volunteering and shadowing local healthcare professionals , which in the end opened my eyes even more to the endless possibilities as to how a nurse could help others. Pursuing a career in nursing can really help distinguish what it means to help people as well as educate me personally in other areas that could be both beneficial and rewarding in the future. In the end, I aspire to absorb as much information and hands on training as possible so that I will be well equipt and ready for real world

    Nursing, in my opinion, is one of the most significant professions that one can be blessed to acquire. To those who pursue this field know it is a career that requires far more than simply an education even though the knowledge acquired from a degree is extremely important and necessary, by grasping rationale of the laws and regulations that rule nursing. A career in nursing requires someone to have compassion, sympathy, and care for others, especially those who are suffering from pain, illness and lack the understanding of what is happening to them or a loved one. It is a career of humanity, and it is this that first attracted me to a Masters degree in Nursing. My philosophy about nursing is that it is a career that one has to work hard for, but also a career that a person needs to have to a natural affinity for. I also believe one must have a commitment to helping others not expecting anything in return but a smile and knowing when you go home you gave your all. The ability to be a compassionate, caring nurse is what I hope to bring to the Masters degree in Nursing Program, gaining…

    Nurses share the joys, pains, and triumphs of their patients. Everyday nurses show-up for duty, receive their patients, and without hesitation begin to become a valued member of an extended family. I initially went to school with the goal of becoming a medical doctor. At the time, I believed becoming a doctor was the only way I could ultimately give back to my community through my passion for science. The decision to pursue the field of advanced nursing, developed after sharing my concerns about healthcare in the Mississippi Delta with my local family nurse practitioner.…

    Pursuing a career in the nursing field was the first change that I decided to make when I held my sister's hand as she gave birth to my three year old nephew. I was inspired by the care that was provided to my sister and my newborn nephew by various types of nurses before, during, and after birth. Since then, my awareness for the well-being of others increased while learning more about nurses and what they do. My first experience volunteering at Texas Children's Hospital has also encouraged me even more to become a nurse when I encountered my first four year old cardiac patient. I was prepped by his nurse in how to safely interact with the patient while she was helping me into my protective gown and gloves. The real inspiration was actually meeting the patient and lessening his anxiety of being in a hospital through one on one contact.…

    I loved helping anyone and everyone when I was little. Every time someone got sick, I would run and get them a blanket, even if they had a fever. I just wanted them to feel better; I knew how bad I felt every time I was sick. I wanted to make sure they felt comfortable when dealing with a sickness of any sort. The older I got, the more I realized that helping the ones around me was a passion. I remember in middle school we had to pick a career to research, and I ended up choosing Nursing. I would have picked being a doctor, but the nurse is the one who is one on one with the patient most of the time, and that’s what I want. I saw the vast specialties that nursing had to offer, and I immediately chose Neonatal Nursing. Neonatal nurses are the…

    Becoming a Registered Nurse has been something that I want to become in the future, since I was twelve years old. At that time I experienced having my niece hospitalized when being a month old from pneumonia. Those moments are hard experiences that no one would like to experience but it is part of life. Therefore since that time I want to make a difference on the people who have to be hospitalized, helping them to recover. Although I would like to specialize with infants and children because they have a lower immune system and those are the most fundamental years of their lives.…

    Nursing is a career not just a job, nursing is treating people as a disease, but as a unique individual who has his/her own values, beliefs, needs, and also treat the family with respect, compassion, patience, and show that we care. I chose nursing because I have always liked helping people. Ever since I was a little girl I liked helping and I would tell my dad that if he was ever sick I would take care of him so he could get better. At first I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician to be exact, but I chose nursing because, nurses have more contact with patients and nursing school is shorter than medical school. I know I made the right choice because as I have been doing clinicals, I have been falling more and more in love with what nurses do, but throughout the process I have also seen what kind of nurse I do not want to be. During clinicals there was an agency nurse a patient did…

    There have been many occasions in my life that I have spent time in hospitals, nursing homes and by the side of a sick relative. When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he spent as much time as he could at home with his family by his side and when the time came, he was transferred to hospital, I was 14 at the time, still very young I knew it was not about how I was feeling, this pain was his and my grandmothers. I helped look after him for the two years he was diagnosed and it was during that time, I knew where my heart was and that was nursing. With my own experience of being in and out of hospital with two complicated pregnancies, I was in awe of the nurses and midwives who did everything they could to make me feel secure and safe, I was inspired and made an already certain career choice, even more evident.…
