Graduating High School
As we make it through our sophmore year of high school, soon to be juniors, we should all be thinking and making plans as to what we will do whenever we graduate from high school. The most important things that you will need to decide about are where you will enroll in college, what career you will go into, and where your permanent residence will be. I am planning to enroll at Francis Marion University, to persue my Bachelor's degree in nursing. My permanent residence will be in Florence, South Carolina. There are many great colleges that I could have chosen to attend. I have chose Francis Marion University for many reasons. Francis Marion is located in Florence, South Carolina, which is not very far from home for me. I could live at home, instead of living on campus because of it being so close. I think that I would like that a lot more. I really don't think that the weather at Francis Marion would be much different than what I am used to. The weather varies from hot during the summer to a very mild winter. The weather does not really affect the campus experience though. Francis Marion has a total of 3,864 students. 3,126 are full-time students, and the other 738 are part-time students. The in-state tuition is a total of $7,038.00. The out-of-state tuition is $13,841.00. The Admission requirements in order to enroll include, a high school diploma, completion of all required preparatory courses, and acceptable scores on the SAT or ACT. You will also need to have at least an average high school GPA of 3.55. I would like to major in Registered nursing. I would like to persue my Bachelor's degree in nursing first, and then possibly enroll for another two years to recieve my Master's degree. The career that I plan to go into is nursing. I really think that is the perfect choice as a career for me because I love to help people that are in need. Nursing is a great career to go into. There are so many different career paths you can take in nursing. Some of the

    I chose nursing as my profession because nursing is an integral part of who I am. I have always known I wanted to be a nurse. To care for people in need with compassion and empathy. When I was young I would make makeshift hospitals and treat any animal could get my hands on. I have always been fascinated by anatomy and physiology, so far as to operate and dissect on worms when I was younger. When I accidentally found my way into perioperative nursing I felt that I had found my calling.…

At first, Angelou is quite excited because she is proud of her academic achievements; besides that, she is also about to make a speech in front of many students.

    Becoming a Registered Nurse has been something that I want to become in the future, since I was twelve years old. At that time I experienced having my niece hospitalized when being a month old from pneumonia. Those moments are hard experiences that no one would like to experience but it is part of life. Therefore since that time I want to make a difference on the people who have to be hospitalized, helping them to recover. Although I would like to specialize with infants and children because they have a lower immune system and those are the most fundamental years of their lives.…

    Nursing is a career not just a job, nursing is treating people as a disease, but as a unique individual who has his/her own values, beliefs, needs, and also treat the family with respect, compassion, patience, and show that we care. I chose nursing because I have always liked helping people. Ever since I was a little girl I liked helping and I would tell my dad that if he was ever sick I would take care of him so he could get better. At first I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician to be exact, but I chose nursing because, nurses have more contact with patients and nursing school is shorter than medical school. I know I made the right choice because as I have been doing clinicals, I have been falling more and more in love with what nurses do, but throughout the process I have also seen what kind of nurse I do not want to be. During clinicals there was an agency nurse a patient did…

    My career choice is to be an R.N. (registered nurse). For starters, registered nurses (RNs) are not limited to working in hospital settings. RNs can also work in clinics, schools, assisted living facilities, homes, and more. They can also specialize in areas such as cardiac care, midwifery, family practice, geriatrics, labor and delivery and emergency nursing. Basic registered nursing duties: Nursing responsibilities can vary greatly depending on the healthcare setting. But in an average day, RNs might administer medication, consult with other healthcare providers, monitor patients, educate individuals and family and be responsible for managing medical records. They must also stay up-to-date with new tools and technology to help provide the best care to patients and families, and the best support to doctors and other healthcare professionals.…

    I am the one in the picture with the sloppy bun in my hair and the bright red cheeks. The one who can't stop smiling. With all my friends surrounding me, it was one of the best days of my life. All fifteen of us look happy; it was a night for many smiles. Everyone is crowded around the table. There are a lot of red cheeks in the picture; the room was as hot as a sauna. There was a strong smell of barbeque sauce in the air as well. The picture was taken right after dinner. The table we are crowded around is messy. There are a lot of cups on the table and bottles of ketchup and barbeque sauce, with dirty, green napkins piled up. The restaurant was as noisy as the circus when the clowns perform. There were a lot of pictures taken that night, but out of all the pictures, this is the best one taken of everyone. Crouched down in front is Brent Dana. He has a grin on his face more than a smile. Brent hates pictures, and he doesn't smile in any of them; he is wearing his red "Rag Tails" shirt that he always wears. Next to Brent is Jade Walker. She has her hair back and is wearing her red "North Face" jacket. Jade has an adorable smile on her face. Next to Jade is Mary Attaway leaning over the table wearing a flowered backless shirt with a black sweater. To the right of Mary is Laura Jones. Laura is slightly leaning her head toward her right shoulder and is wearing a blue shirt with a drawstring tie in front. Laura has her arm around Erica Farnsworth, who has a yellow shirt and white jacket on. She looks especially happy; she is smiling from ear to ear. Starting in the left hand comer (in row two) are Chad Phillips and Caitlin Pollock standing together. Chad has his arms around Caitlin's waist. He has this cute little grin, and Caitlin has a huge smile and rosy red cheeks. Brittany Wilkins is next to Caitlin with a puzzled look on her face, the face you would see in a hard Algebra II exam when you don't think you even learned what the question is asking. To the top right of…
