We need more folk to choose nursing as a career. There is a national shortage, so the career select would-be guarantee futurity employment fresh out of school.
Just last week, as I was taking care of a patient of mine, a doctor asked, "Kim, how did you decide to become a nurse?" That question caused me to reflect over nearly 25 years, and it still causes me to wonder sometimes. You see, I was not one of those little girls that wished to be a nurse, tho'
I actually likeable
the head nurse on Emergency. I told her, "You know, I think nursing chose me."
I went on to explain that I had changed my career path my freshman year of college. I was taking courses that I found to be interesting, on
with the 'basics'. After a year of not committing to a degree plan, my dad put his foot down and he powerfully
pleased
me to find several direction.
I remember thumbing through the college catalog and finding the degree plan for nursing. I was astonied to see that I had taken nearly every prerequisite course except for anatomy and physiology. I applied to the program, was accepted and the rest is history.
Being a nurse has real advantages. Continued
education is an integral part of most professions. Nursing is no exception. This noesis actually saved the life of one of my children!
Patrick was all but 4 years old. He was enjoying a piece of Day candy. My husband was look him, and he called me in once
he saw that Patron saint was choking. I gave those 5 abdominal thrusts as if I did it every day of my life, once
in fact I had only performed it on a few mannequins over the years. That piece of candy shot out, simply like in the videos that they would-be do us watch. Ne'er
once more do I groan once
the lights go down and we have to watch that same training video.
Scrubs
Another advantage to this profession is the uniform. What different profession allows you to wear article of clothing that are as comfortable as pajamas! And they are so more much colorful than that starched white from years ago. I had to wear a nursing cap with the white uniform and the white hose and shoes once
I was in nursing school. Now you can tell what Holiday is about the corner based on the attire of the nursing staff.
Another change for the better is that more men are entering the profession. I think that it has bettered the salaries. For fear of fashioning sexist or offensive remarks, I wish leave it at that.
Continuing in my footsteps.
Today, my oldest child is attending a nursing program. She wish be a nurse in less than a year. I have no doubt that she wish be an fantabulous quality
to the profession. She did not decide to do this as a career until she was in college for a year.
Choosing nursing as a career
If you like working with folk and serving them during several of the most important times of their lives, then I have no doubt you would-be thrive in your career as a nurse.
