Being A Successful Registered Nurse

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

Are you interested in being a Registered Nurse? To become a Registered Nurse also known as RN it requires education, skills, and interest. For instance, an RN must be able to detect changes in symptoms, health, or pain. Furthermore, a Registered Nurse should have critical thinking skills, communication skills, and organization skills. Anyways, three colleges in San Diego are San Diego State University, School of Nursing, and San Diego City college. An RN that is more experienced has the potential for raises or promotions than a new RN. Every RN is paid differently based on their experience/education. Therefore, RN's handle plenty of tasks and the majority of the registered nurses have a different education so each gets paid different amounts.

As a LPN I plan on working in long term care to spend time passing meds and being able to do assessments, or work at madigan hospital in hopes to be able to work in acute care until I get into RN school. I plan on working full time in whatever area I get a job in, most jobs offer classes to keep you up to date on what is best and safe practice. I plan to attend classes and seminars as provided to try and keep myself as sharp as possible in hopes to keep myself as sharp as possible for the safety of my patients and when the time comes for me to start school to be a registered nurse. I plan to take part in CEU’s. I plan to take classes to manage my 45 hours of continued education yearly I would like to take classes on medication administration

Striving as a successful Honor Student in high school has been daring over the years, but soon will lead to more challenging aspects centering my career goal as a Registered Nurse; which will involve my aspirations, excellence, and accomplishing the vision. Becoming a Registered Nurse is going to be hard because I'm not sure what to expect .However, I do know that the journey to this accomplishment will be stressful. Despite those circumstances as long as I stay focused and do not procrastinate, my career is bound to happen in success. The main aspect to reaching my career goal consists of my aspirations. The biggest aspiration is for me to improve myself and my skills with those around.

Since my first visit to the Doctor I have been fascinated with the world of medicine and the art of nursing. As I have matured it has become apparent to me that becoming a Nurse has become my calling. I am determined to be the

Nursing has always been a passion of mine ever since I began working on the Pediatric unit at the University of Arizona Medical Center. I thought by interning here, I would make a difference in someone’s life. However, those kids and family members were the ones who had the biggest impact on me. These kids taught me the importance of perseverance during difficult times which gave me the motivation and passion to work hard in my courses to get a 3.7 gpa.

For my interview I met with H.R. who has her BSN, and is currently working to complete her degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She has been a nurse for three years, most of which has been spent working in surgery in a large hospital. She also hopes to further her education and eventually be teaching future nursing students. The purpose of this paper is to provide an outside view of how someone sees the Nursing profession as a whole.

Becoming a registered nurse will take a long journey to finish if you found handling money and maintaing good grades in high school too be difficult. You can start by getting into a community college where one can have a second chance, and then be able to transfer to a university, or Cal State, where one will finish nurse school. Throughout the time you are keeping your grades and performance high, your mind can already conceive ways to opening more doors and the opportunities to be able to accomplish the desires you have for the near future. I envision myself getting into a community college , and then transfer my way to a private university where it gives me the opportunity of becoming a successful registered nurse. This is the option I decided to take because I also share the same difficulties that other students have with high school, and lack of money today. It takes every small achievement to grow to be one big success.

I’m positive there are many ways to move ourselves into a situation where we have more security in our lives. Although doing something different and trying new method is sometimes uncomfortably frightening for many people, if we stretch ourselves out from our comfort zone and willing to take risks to grow, there is always room for improvements. For instance, I want to become a skillful and a successful registered nurse who can make a difference in people’s life by giving the best possible care for my patients. I understand this isn’t an easy task and require a lot of consequences and sacrifices that I have to make n my life. Nonetheless, I strongly believe there’s nothing worth having comes easy. Additionally, people need to enhance their skills

My number one reason for making the transition from a Licensed Practical Nurse to a Register Nurse is because I want to be able to explore other job opportunities. I currently, and have only ever worked in Long Term Health Care. I love my job and the people I take care of but, I am wanting to explore other options and get away from the monotony of being in long term care. I would really like to try and pursue a career in Emergency Medicine as a nurse. To do that I need the extra skills and knowledge that a Registered Nurse has.

“When a person decides to become a nurse, they make the most important decision of their lives. They chose to dedicate themselves to the care of others.” For me this quote captures the most important duty of a registered nurse. Registered nursing is a great career because there are different opportunities, you help others and learn new things.

Have you ever had a moment in life that validated the direction in which you felt compelled to follow? A moment which never escapes your mind because it represents one of the purest, symbolic instances you have experienced? Or a moment as simple as being handed a book to encourage you to further your dream? A time to inspire you to succeed in becoming something even more significant than you already are? Or had a moment offering you the opportunity to enhance your knowledge, and thrust yourself into the world you so deeply want to be a part of? I was handed the Merck Manual along with a kind gesture and warm-hearted encouragement which aided in igniting a fire, reaffirming what I felt I was meant to do; it was a defining moment in my life.

The career I am pursuing is nursing. One main reason I am pursuing this career is because I want to take care of people and to save lives. Saving lives and taking care of people is my passion in life. The elderly and the sick need more attention and help, and I want to be the one to take care of them and make them feel better. I want them to get up and move around and just be happy on the inside and out. I also have the main qualities to become a nurse or even a doctor. I have the skills needed such as communication, problem solving, critical thinking, emotional stability, and organizational skills to get the job done.

As with any career-focused education, it is the students who determine the future triumph of that particular career. Nursing students are provided with the knowledge, tools, and experience that they need in order to be successful. Ultimately, the patient’s wellness is the central focus of the success of a nurse. The American Nursing Association defines nursing as, “…the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations.” (American Nurses Association, 2015). The responsibilities of a nurse are critical and uniquely tailored to each individual patient. One uniform piece that must remain consistent among the daily practices of a nurse is infection control.

Success is achieved by setting a goal and taking steps towards that goal. Asking a simple question like “what do I want to do when I grow up?” can start the brainstorming process. The plan for success is much like creating a plan of care in nursing. Assess, diagnose, plan, implement, and evaluate. The key 5 steps for achieving success are goal setting, making an action plan, stay focused, reward yourself, and be flexible (My success plan, 2015). Everybody is different and will have different plans but this is my plan for success.
