Becoming
a nurse is not an easy task and being a nurse is not a walk in the
park either. There are several pros and cons to being not just an RN
but any type of nurse. It takes patience, persistence, and dedication
to maintain an occupation such as nursing.
Many
great benefits can come from being a nurse. Knowing that you are
possibly saving lives is such a big deal to me. There is nothing I
would love more than to know that someone saved my life due to the
fact that they love their job so much. When I become a nurse I plan
to love and care for each patient to the best of my ability. My life
has been saved before and I want to give someone else the wonderful
feeling I felt when the nurses assisted me.

Also,
good financial benefits come from being a nurse; depending on the
type of nurse you are. Registered Nurses are the nurses known to make
the highest amount of money. Regardless of the nurse ranking, any
position taken in the nursing field is guaranteed to make decent
money.
There
is something I find difficult to put up with when I become a nurse.
Working a twelve hour shift from day to day will be quite challenging
for me. I am not used to being up on my feet for twelve hours a day.
I guess that being in nursing school will prepare me for that. While
I was working at the retirement home, I was very observant of the
nurses and their schedules. They would have to work 12-hour shifts
with only a thirty minute break. I am not saying it is impossible for
me to do but it will be hard for me to adjust to. The bright side
about it all is that although I may be working extended shifts a week
straight, there is a great possibility that I will have the week
after that completely off. I appreciate the fact that I will have the
chance to have a flexible schedule so I can still have time for
myself.

I
am extremely eager to become a Registered Nurse. I know that the road
for me to travel to become one will not be easy. My first goal is to
get accepted into nursing school. My second goal is to make it
through nursing school, and my third goal is to be the nurse I can be
for others.
My cousin is a RN at huntsville hospital and sh works 12 hour shitfs. One time she had to work on Christmas and she has 3 small kids and she missed a christmas with them. Although she has to make sacrifices for her job she has never once said that she did not want to do it anymore. She loves being a nurse and helping others and I think that is what is all about, loving what you do becuase nurses are so important to the world. I know that you will reach your goals in life.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are enthusiastic about becoming a nurse, we need more people who chose to go into the nursing field for the right reasons, you want to help people and that is what it should be about. Not about the paycheck (which is pretty nice).
ReplyDeleteDo you know anyone personally who is currently a nurse? Someone who has told you what it is all about?
@Jeremy I have a cousin who just became an RN. I also worked at a retiement home and health facility with RNs, so I've somewhat had a first-hand look into what they do from day to day.
