The Sequel


Pushing your way through nursing school is tough. There is so much you have to deal with such as physical and mental stress, coming up with funds to pay for nursing school, and also accepting the lack of a personal life you will adapt while trying to graduate. Consequently, the difficult endeavors do not stop there. They continue as you move to the next stage in your nursing career. It is actually when the real obstacles begin.


Entering into the actual nursing world outside of clinicals and without the help of an instructor can be quite frightening for a first-time nurse. Most people may think that after graduating nursing school is when all the hard working and perseverance comes to and end. Wrong! The hard just begins after the diploma is received. Only because now you have t o deal with REAL LIVE patients and fate of their lives now lie in your hands. I believe that when you begin to encounter the real phases of being a nurse is when your true patience, persistence, and perseverance is revealed the most. A former nursing school student named Jenn shared her experience of what her career is like after graduating nursing school. She explains the ups and downs of being a full blown nurse. She explains simple things that can make a huge difference in the life of a nurse such as wearing a comfortable pair of shoes to run around the hospital in throughout the day. The road to being a nurse can take an extreme toll on your life. Once engaged, it may seem as if your whole life revolves around nursing and caring for others.


Although being a nurse may be rough at some times, there is also a positive outlook that can be taken from it. Since being a nurse means that you are working in the medical field, that automatically means that you are making a decent salary. It is only right to get paid a nice amount of money since you are saving people's live one day at a time. It is not only about the great finances that come from being a nurse but the spectacular emotional effect it can cause as well. I am sure that it warms nurses' hearts to know they are doing a good deed and making a difference in at least one person's life everyday.
