Nursing My Biggest Goal During my childhood and early teenage years, I can remember my English teachers asking things like what do i want to be when I grow up? What do I want to study in college? As a child I would give a quick sentence or a couple of words. I would say that I wanted to be a cop, a firefighter, or a Volleyball player. Becoming a nurse has alwayes been a dream of mine, when i came to this country from Afghanistan my first volunteering job was at a nursing facility where I was taking care of elderly patients, It was during that time that I realized taking care of people is my passion. Taking care of an individual involevs several different things. Experience has taught me that when a person is in a nursing facility or in a hospital they need not only good care but they need attention, they need someone to listen to what they have to say, someone who knows how they feel, and someone to understand that they will have good and bad days. It involves understanding that these individuals are in a place they do not necessarily want to be, but circumstances beyond their control has led them to be there; so patience and understanding is needed in order to deal with these individuals. When a person is hurting sometimes they will behave in a different way than they would normally do, and the nurse has to understand that sometimes people will do and say things that they normally would not do or say. So keeping your cool as a nurse and trying to understand these individuals is veyr important. There are several benefits of being a nurse. You can set your own schedule. The nursing skill can take you anywhere, especially if you work in a certain States. The long term benefits are also great. But if that is the only reason someone wants to become a nurse, then they should probably think otherwise, as it involes so many other things. Being a nurse is a very influential and rewarding profession. Nurses care for people through illness, injury, pain, loss, dying,
