Nursing to me is not just a career choice; it’s a way of life, and one that I’ve wanted to pursue since I was a child. I’ve witnessed firsthand the miracles that nurses can work and I know that every nurse is somebody’s hero. Likewise, the most inspirational people in my life have been nurses and I strive each and every day in my classes to absorb as much information as I can, in hopes that one day, somebody will say the same thing about me. I believe that one of the most vital choices you can make in your life is that of which school you decide to attend. My ultimate career goal is to become a Lead Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and I know USF would provide me with the kind of premium education that would ensure my success.…

After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…
Being a Certified Nurse’s Assistant is not easy. It’s actually not easy at all. It’s back-breaking work most of the time. It is also very emotional at times too. I think to have this job you can’t just be in it for the money. This job requires having a heart; not being in it for the money. There are a lot of different places that can employ CNA’s; hospitals, nursing homes, sometimes even doctor’s offices.…

My first job was working as Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA). I started working in the field when I graduated high school. A close friend introduced me to the nursing field. My friend said the job didn’t require much education, you just had to like working with people. I thought well, I am really good with people, I thought this should be easy. I worked as a CNA for about five years, and I realize that the job didn’t offer any challenges. I felt as if I wasn’t really going anywhere, I just had a job. I decided that maybe if I had a specialty that I would feel more challenged. I decided to become a hospice CNA. A hospice CNA cares for patients in the end stages of life. Well, I didn’t know what I was signing up for. I didn’t realize…

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…
