The day was gloomy and the atmosphere was humid. Once I walked in, I noticed
how crowded this place was and I wondered why. Did something go wrong? I really
hope not. I felt nervous and uneasy just knowing that I would have to let someone stick
a needle in my arm. All I could think about was the worst happening. What if the needle
breaks? What if I get bruised? How much will it hurt? It was taunting me just waiting in
the waiting room for 30 minutes just to get started. As soon as they brought me back
and put me in a hospital bed I was terrified and felt hopeless. My mom was there to
comfort me but, it didn’t seem to help as much because I knew she wasn’t the one being
put through all of the stress of having surgery. The nurse came and she could see how
scared I was and she talked to me like I was her own kid. She made me feel
comfortable and let me play with the heart monitor. Before I knew it the IV was already
in my arm and I didn’t even feel a thing. Then on, I knew it was only because of that
nice, sweet, and caring nurse that kept me from breaking down. That’s what I’d like to
do. Help someone but not just help, try and change their life for the better.
That’s exactly where I would want to be. I want to make a change in someone’s
life like that nurse did mine. I’m the kind of person who loves to help all people. It
wouldn’t matter if they were young or old I would see them as a human beings and know
that they must be upset or scared and I would do my very best to comfort them. I really
love to achieve new things. I’m someone who would look at the glass half full and sees
the brighter things about any situation. I try to lift people up when their down. I could
imagine myself being in the position of a nurse and talking to that little child comforting
them. It would truly make me ecstatic to see that kid with a smile. Everyone I’ve been
around tells me how compassionate, friendly, and generally kind I am as an individual.
Every time I hear that it makes me feel like I’ve been doing something right, and that’s
what gets me through my days. From that day when I was only 10 years old I was truly
inspired by that nurse who showed me that I was going to be alright and helped me get
through it. That’s what I want to do is go out in the world and inspire many different
kinds of people so I can make a difference in the world.
I plan to achieve the associate of science in registered nursing and go for a nurse
practitioner after that. I will put in the hard working hours to have this job title because
this job represents humility and people who care for and support others. Nursing is a
challenging and stimulating profession. Nurses are always needed and it can be an
emotionally rewarding career. I will not have a boring desk job because every day there
will be something different going on. I will gain the medical knowledge to maintain my
health and those around me. There are many options in the nursing field such as
working days or nights, holidays and weekends, and overtime. I will have job security
and many possibilities of advancement. It would be exciting to actually work with
different people and get to know all kinds of patients. I love to interact with others and
work in labs and deal with all kinds of situations that come to hand. I could imagine
myself being put in the worst position and doing well. As if there were a patient to come
in and their injury be very extensive and I would comfort them and do my best to help
them feel better until the doctor is there to heal the wound or ease whatever might be
ailing them. I would be enlightened to know that I was a person who helped and made a
difference to that patient that was in pain. I know that I’m there to help not just freak
them out even more because I was once in that patient’s position. So I can refer back to
that moment and notice how helpful she had been to me and use that as an example of
what I really want to be. I would like to show myself to be calm and composed as she
had showed me that I wasn’t going to die because that is honestly what I thought of
because I was a really scared kid that need some help and guidance. I would want to be
the one to guide people to take the right path and help better their life by being a nurse.
Nursing is a challenging and stimulating profession.
My parents did not have the ability to go to college because of all the expenses. I
have a plan to work while I am in college to pay for all of my bills like gas, dorm dues,
and books. I feel that I would be a more mature adult and take this school seriously
because of the fact that I have to work and help pay for it. I want to make my parents
proud of me and I need to show them that I did not follow in their footsteps by not going.
I need them to truly see how responsible I am and I need to show a little more
independence by being away from home for a while. This would help my future and it
would be a good experience to have in my life. With all the gained knowledge I would be
able to care for my sick children and take care of my parents and grandparents one day.
For people who don’t have their near and dear ones to look after their elders, they can
look for companies like focus care, which can provide in-home aged services for old age
individuals.
One day I would become a nurse and will take care of elders in my home, but what about
those people who don’t have a family member working in the same profession? In such
cases, they need to pay extra attention to the well-being of their parents as well as grandparents.
Being a nurse, I would always strive to take care of their bare necessities like medications, nutrition,
and mobility and I will dedicate myself to devoted service to human welfare.
