Personal Narrative: My Goal Of Becoming A Registered Nurse

For my Project Life presentation, I chose to do mine on a registered nurse. The reason I chose to do mine on a registered nurse is because I love to help people. When I help people, it gives me a great feeling. A registered nurse is a nurse who has graduated from a college's nursing program or from a school of nursing and has passed a national licensing exam. In order to be a registered nurse you must have either your associates or bachelors degree. You can get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), if you want to advance in the profession.

For is weeks reading assignments I want to start by admitting this was a mass amount of reading to take in. Undoubtable I was impressed with the amount of knowledge I took away from this assignment. The nursing career is hard to explain while identifying exactly what the career entails. This task isn’t foreign to me because I’m constantly confronted with questions from other people, “what is it like raising two special need kids?” as well as “how do you manage it all?” While reading I found myself chuckling at how society needs a clean cut definition to what a nurse is. Any mom can tell you what the beginning steps to nursing are however that is only a small glimpse into the role of nursing. There are a few people within our book that stood

In order to reach one’s goal, the goal should be well defined, firm and the individual must be completely committed to attaining it. Pursuing a career as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner has always been my driving goal throughout all my education and training since the age of seventeen. Over the past three years working within a Surgical Inpatient unit as a Registered Nurse, I have become aware of the lack of community resources and access to health care available in rural areas. This has inspired me apply to the University of Western Ontario’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program for the fall of 2014. After completing my Bachelor of Science of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario, I am certain that no other

We live in a world where the human race seems to be disconnected. Nowadays it feels that there are not enough people helping each other. I don’t treat life like a competition I look at it and I ask myself how may I help? What may I do to make this world a more suitable place for all to live a comfortable and peaceful life? I yearn to come forward and fulfill my role and contribute to our society in any way possible. Nursing is my calling for helping others. It sounds cliché, this I know, but it’s what I desire and what I decided to do with my body, mind, and soul.

When in the early stages of planning my life, I knew exactly what it was I inspired to do. I wanted to save lives. I did not know how I was going to complete that task at hand, but I knew that I was going to be saving someone’s life. So, starting nursing school was one of the jubilant moments of my life. I am ecstatic to be on my journey on becoming a well-rounded and educated nurse. Nursing is a profession that requires a great deal of care and knowledge of the human body and as a nurse I plan to be cultivated and discerning.

In this article a young, certified nursing assistant failed to follow the guidelines in properly transporting the resident into her bed.

My nursing journey began after my aunt was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2001. Within months the cancer had metastasized throughout her body. I felt helpless as I watched her health begin to decline. Before she became ill, she had pursued a career as a school teacher. At her funeral, I listened to stories from former students about how she impacted their lives. At that time I realized that I also wanted to pursue a career involved with helping individuals. I decided nursing was the best route because it was something that interested me and it would positively impact the lives of others. My family played a major role in the successful completion of my diploma in nursing. Their love and support allowed me to pursue my studies with

Squeaking shoes, running fast, comfy scrubs that make it easy to move fast, shiny stethoscopes that help nurses hear patient's hearts beat. These are some of the things that nurses do everyday at work. Along with helping patients there are many tasks that nurses do every day in a variety of locations that not only take a toll on them physically but mentally as well.

Initially I was very apprehensive in sharing the truth behind what ultimately made me decide to return to school to become a nurse. This would entail reliving both joyful and painful memories of my life which I believe to have mapped out the path that I was meant to follow. I was a young, stay at home mom for many years. being the full time primary care giver to my three children was the most rewarding experience of my life. reflecting back I have found remarkable similarities in the traits and skills of mothers and nurses. many of these characteristics are utilized by nurses with each and every patient they encounter . These include but are not limited to compassion , empathy, prioritization, dedication, understanding nonverbal communication.

Growing up in a remote village in West Africa (Sierra Leone), I remember how perplexed I was on my first day of school and the months following. Waking up early in the morning and walking several miles to school was not a pleasant thing anybody would love doing. Thanks to my middle-school teacher, Mr. Smith, a peace cop from the United States; he influenced me immensely on the importance of education. He used to tell me stories of his past experiences and other successful people about their struggles in life, which I believe served as a motivating factor for me to be where I am now in life.

When every girl in your family becomes a nurse, choosing a career can be quite pressuring, especially when you can never imagine yourself becoming a nurse. Nurses remind me of blood, and I am definitely not the type of person to be working with blood. Therefore, I am not very interested in becoming a nurse. Nurses are here to aid people when they are sick. There are tons of different types of nurses. Two specific ones are RN and BSN. A RN is a registered nurse while a BSN is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Although both jobs will take part in treating a patient, the BSN will have a leader role while the RN helps.

Nevertheless, I would always come back to try to make them feel better. Having natural affection for people are rooted
