My Desire To Enroll In The Practical Nursing Program
My reasons for wanting to enroll in the practical nursing program.

As I was finishing my High School years, I never really understood how important it was to enroll then and further my education as I do today. I was 16, attending night school and working 40+ hours a week at a poultry plant. I knew then that there was more out there for me, that would feel rewarding to myself and others. Through the years I held different careers, but it wasn't untill I did in home care with the elderly that I felt the best about myself and the care I had with the patient.
With 4 kids when I started doing geriactrics I knew it would be hard for me to enroll and find the time to go to school. Then finding out another child was on the way this

    I have always wanted to work in health care and help people but I did not want to be a nurse or directly involved in individualized health plans. I wanted to work behind the scenes. I became a CPhT and went to work right away at my local hospital. Life was wonderful! I was helping sick people feel better and doing something worthwhile that came along with the means to help support my family comfortably. Then that dreadful day came, and I was laid off due to budget cuts.…

    Before I went back to school I had worked at several places that paid minimum wage and did not offer much room for advancement. I tried convenient store work, Medical Records Clerk, or Unit Secretary, and even driving a semi tractor trailer over the road. I just was not making very much money. Oh, I paid my bills…

    I am a Registered Practical Nurse pursuing a degree in nursing. My previous clinical placement at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare and at Toronto General Hospital gave me valuable experiences and stir my interest in caring for the older adults. I realized that apart from addressing their physiological needs, other factors such as mental, psychological, spiritual, and social factors must be considered to attain and maintain their health and well-being. So to better inform my knowledge and practice, I joined the Gerontological Nursing Association Ontario as a student member and regularly utilized the practice guidelines from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.…

    I first wanted to be a Certified Nursing Assist (CNA) at the age 16. I had to do community service for Graffiti. I was given a job as an activity assistant at a nursing home. I enjoyed it so much! The people there are so much fun to work with. The best part about it was being able to help them read the paper, play bingo, or whatever they wanted to do. Once a lady and her sister were pushing chairs down the hallway and I asked “what are you doing?” They told me they were taking a train ride to see their father for his birthday. It made me feel sad because I had to explain to them that they were going the wrong way, so I helped them back to their room. Once there, I explained to them that they lived here at the nursing home and were not going anywhere. It was at that moment, I wanted to really be in the nursing field to be able to make a positive impression on someone else’s life.…

    As a registered nurse, I have been tasked with providing care to patients suffering from various medical conditions, but now I am ready to provide a different type of care in the form of beauty and art. Despite finding my current profession immensely gratifying, I always knew my true passion was in interior designing and decorating; hence why I have made the ambitious decision to go back to school for a new career in interior design. I have always enjoyed working with colors, patterns, and personalizing my home with DIY projects, such as remodeling a storage room into a guest bedroom and tearing down a wall to create a larger living room. I find myself constantly glued to home improvement shows and going through home magazines to find new ways of decorating,…

    I have always maintained that one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life was obtain my Associate’s Degree in Nursing. It was a vigorous and competitive program in which I found myself sometimes laughing and crying at the same time. I have always been pretty realistic about life, not too much of a dreamer, no delusions of grandeur, and never an anticipator of special treatment. My parents were old school, always taught us kids that we should expect to receive back only what we put into something; hard work always pays off. When I began my academic journey, late into my thirties, I was nervous about how I would measure up to the younger students, I mean, they were pretty used to going to school so they were already sort of…

    Becoming a nurse is more than getting accepted into nursing school, far more than passing the NCLEX exam and even much further than collecting a pay check. It takes time, a lot of time and devotion to patient care; it requires empathy and a lifetime of continuing education. Knowing all this, why did I choose nursing?…
