nursing
Knowing what career you want to be involved in is a very hard decision to make. It takes a lot of thinking and knowledge to even give the idea of doing something for the rest of your life. But for me this is something that I have known since I was in seventh grade. I do not have to do much thinking about the career I have chosen; it has always been my dream. I would love to be a nurse for the rest of my life, no; I know I will be a nurse one day. This is something that I know I will love doing. I figured this out at such an early age because my dad was sick so our family was constantly surrounded by nurses and doctors. Seeing the way they took care of my dad and our family really changed my life. They made the situation better for us and became a part of our family. Some of the nurses came to my dad’s benefit at the local firehouse and they lived all the way in Pennsylvania. During Christmas time they would make visits and just spend time with us or come over for dinner. One of the hospice nurses actually cooked us a really good pasta dinner and every once in a while we run into him around town. They made it so comfortable to be around and that’s how I want to make other families feel. It is so hard to be positive during such a negative time, but nurses can really make a difference. I want to help people who need it and comfort them. I definitely know that I do not want to work in a nursing home or with babies; I want to specialize in maybe cancer or hospice nursing. I also think that working in the emergency room would be very exciting. All that in know is that I am going to achieve this dream of mine and I will help families going through hard times cope with their situation because I can relate to them since I have been through it at such a young age. Nurses can really make or break a bad situation, having someone who is there that is nice, you feel comfortable with and is understanding makes a huge difference. First of all it is hard as a family, to let in other people like the nurses because have to go through the good and bad times just like the family and it is just as hard for them. It is a tough job to allow a stranger just take over, like in my case, it was hard for my mom to let nurses take care of my dad since she was so used to it. So I would love to make my patients feel comfortable enough with me to take care of their loved one. I also want to make the children in the family a big part of the help. So that is why I know that I am going to become a nurse.
