WHY I WANT TO BE AN RN
Wednesday, March 04, 2009
I love helping people! I believe that if I am able to be of assistant to
someone else then I should do it. I am a mother to six children and that is
what made me start thinking about becoming a nurse. I have training as a
Paralegal and could not find work in the area where I live so I started
thinking about myself and my passions and I discovered I had a passion to
help the sick and hurting. I also felt I was missing out on something as a
Paralegal. I started back to school in 2006 and my husband followed the next
semester. We both decided we wanted to give our children a better life and
be a role model to them that education is very important.
I also find it a phenomenal how our bodies work and the way we process so
much information at such a fast rate without us even knowing. I first
started school thinking I could never learn or understand this material ,but
amazing enough with a lot of work and studying I have retained about half,
(ha, ha). I have had wonderful teachers and enjoy learning. I hope to be a
very good nurse with all the training I am receiving now.
Another reason for wanting to become a nurse is job security. We were
homeless six years ago and I know the feeling of desperation and not having
any way to care for my children. I want to be able to provide for them
without any assistance. I believe we should use necessary assistance as a
stepping stone, but not depend on it for the rest of our lives. Most of the
time we don’t realize our real potential until something like that happens
and we have to make a decision to make a chance, and praise God I did and it
is for the better. School and working are very hard work. Trying to raise a
family in the middle of that is even harder but I am dedicated to finishing
school for my family and giving them a better future.
