Personal Narrative: Why I Lean To Nursing
I have decided to lean to nursing as a career for many reasons. The main reason i decided to turn to this field of work was feeling the need to help people in a way that my younger brother was helped when he was in out of hospitals. During this time i joined the voulanteer morton fire department to get a grasp and sense of working under pressure while remaining calm. Alot of the times i noticed ifyou are in a flusttered sense of mind it is best to leave the situation to someone who is more capable then end up causeing the situation to get much worse possibly causeing someone to get hurt or death. Later on when i began attending south plains i attended and became vice president of the star center student organization for a short period of time

    It appears you are gaining excellent leadership experience during this term. The ICU and Assistant Manager loss was defiantly a loss; however, Ellen’s ability as a leader to manage the unit has been outstanding thus far. When I first started working for SRMC Ellen was the ICU manager. She possesses invaluable knowledge to foster sustaining the structural vision and mission for the ICU, as well as the overall functioning of the organization. I witnessed her swiftly outline a plan that was conducive to meeting the needs of the unit, while preparing staff for the implementation of the “Dry Run Process” testing of the Open Heart Program. She is truly an exceptional leader! While I did not mention the nurse leader interview in my clinical log, I interviewed, Anne Fereday, RN, BSN, MSN who began her nursing career in Albany, NY and has held a variety of nurse leadership roles since 1991.…

    I chose nursing as my profession because of my mother and other factors. My mother was an influence because early this year she was in the hospital for two weeks and during that period I only saw the doctor thrice. The nurses where the ones doing everything, so I felt they were the ones who nursed her back to health. The other deciding factors were: variety of places for jobs whether in the public, private, or community setting; the opportunity to learn new things since no day is ever the same; the opportunity to work with other health professionals; nurses will always be needed; nursing offers specialty areas, and the opportunity to be a traveling nursing.…

I learned really quick when working in a nursing home you strongly need the ability to have good communication skills because without it you can’t communicate with the charge nurses, the residents or the other C.N.A’s. Everyday that I worked there I used different forms of communications such as body language which I learned says a lot about what a person is feeling.…

However, after struggling trying with writer's block, I gave in to my original thought.

    My mom taught me to live by the Golden Rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I have lived by this rule all my life. I have never had a problem getting along with others and treating them with respect until I started my nursing career as an LPN. I started working at the local hospital, working night shift. I really enjoyed going into work, helping the patients with their needs. I enjoyed visiting with them and finding out what would make their stay better. Then one day the supervising nurse in charge of the floor took me aside and told me to stop visiting with the patients. I was thinking to myself okay there has got to be a good reason behind this. She told me the patients need their sleep and they don’t need me to visit with them and keep them awake.…
