My journey into nursing
Tuesday, March 03, 2009
It has been my dream to be a nurse. I started in the healthcare field 15
years ago as a CNA, and have loved taking care of people. I couldn’t
imagine doing any other job. I have been working full time and going to
school part time for the past five years because this was the only way to
earn this degree. I am now in my second semester in clinical. It has been a
long and hard journey to get here as I am a single parent with three
children. I have learned so much just in the type of work I do. I wanted to
take it a step further and become an educated person who could not only
provide patient care but someone who could understand and teach the patient
who was very ill. I wanted to understand the disease processes and what I
can do to help my client feel better. My ultimate goal is to work for
Hospice. I feel that everyone needs someone to help them when the journey is
over. Someone who will hold their hand and try to help them through their
fears. My goal is to provide the best care to not only the patient in this
condition but also to family. I know I can be a nurse, my hope is that I can
be the kind of nurse that others feel comfortable with and someone who has
done everything possible to enhance the patients life.
