Why I chose Nursing as my career

As a child I grew up flopping, one day I wanted to be a pilot, an engineer, a teacher, architect and

many other professions. Nursing didn't occur in my mind until when I was in high school.

Growing up, I always became interested in business and health field. I was not in a position to

determine what to be but to have a career that includes both. After reviewing and evaluating my

interests, I decided that I would work within the health docket and management. The job I

became interested in becoming a nurse, and I knew that nurses are the most important people in

our society.

After a completing my high school education, I started watching the E.R, and I began

thinking about it but seemed to be prudish as body functions didn't go well with me. However,

nursing career was in my mind, and the nursing schedule seemed appealing to me. I ended up

becoming interested in reading medical charts, health and doctors reports and diagnosis reports.

Before joining University, I got a small job where I worked in a law firm as a secretary

waiting for my results and later joined university and pursue a degree in nursing. During this

time I started seeing my life as being wasted working in a job that had no meaningful purpose.

One day my grandfather became hospitalized, and I was the one to look after him in the hospital.

Now I was older than before, and I had the courage to explain to the doctors the symptoms and

signs I was seeing in my grandfather and later account for the process of diagnosis to my family

members. I was with him all the time in the hospital and this lead to resigning from the law firm.

While in the hospital I took the role of a nurse at some point helping my grandfather.

After my grandfather was healed and discharged, that's where my nursing career started,

and immediately I joined University as a nursing student. This is where I got engaged with other

students whose ambitions of becoming a nurse like me were fulfilled. We learned to share our

experiences together and even practiced with them. We studied until when we graduated, and we

were licensed as a Registered Nurse (RN) and worked in a nearby Health Centre.

The reason as to why I chose the career is that I had an ambition and a dream of

becoming a nurse or working in the field of health since I knew that our society is highly

depending on healthcare. A nursing career is highly respected, and no one with nursing papers in

our society will be seen tarmacking looking for a job. Concerning salary, health category is

among the top paying jobs in the world, and I knew very well that my life would change once I

work as a Nurse.

Currently, am working as a Critical Care Registered Nurse and am seeing that am

delivering my duties to the society as it is required by the health law. My career goals when I

was in my first year was to pass all my exams successfully, and to work as a nurse in a hospital

that is supportive, enabling me to further my studies and help me build my clinical skills. I also

believed in joining a professional nursing organization, especially in future after furthering my

studies. I see myself as a successful nurse working in a hospital that helps me achieve my career

goals and committed to learning more by attending seminars and conferences and reading

journals about nursing.

Currently, I want to pursue an advanced degree in nursing to enable me to specialize as a

Family Nurse Practitioner. The more advanced the degree in nursing, the more flexibility of

moving to teaching, leadership and management and more so, enables one to be special in a

particular area. The specialization I chose is to be a Family Nurse Practitioner since it will allow

me to work in all conditions ranging from young to old groups and working in a medical office

setting. Pursuing an advanced degree will further my education and will make me more of an

asset to the nursing profession.
