I Want to Be a Nurse
“Nursing” a Profession
By: Crisly Barcega
I know I will scrape through in being a nurse. When I was looking into career options, nursing attracted my attention for a variety of reasons. You could go anywhere, work with adults, children, in public health, prisons, physicians offices, schools, factories, and were only limited by your level of education, I found that nursing could be what ever I would want to make it. People need nurses in all aspects of life and if I were to ever feel “expended out” in one area, I could educate myself in a variety of ways to expand into another. Or if I needed to move to another state, I could transfer and easily find my niche there. The sensation that you feel when you know you have accomplished your goal to aid an individual is priceless
Also, nursing is a respected profession. People not only need nurses, they look up to them for support and direction. I think this is the best career move I would ever make. Being a nurse is not just an occupation; its more like a commitment to the profession of nursing. Nursing is a profession filled with challenges starting with an intense preparatory education program, which leads to physically strenuous work schedules and mentally demanding clinical decision-making.
