Octavia Butler uses symbolism to highlight how the irregular occurrence of time travel forces Dana to accept slavery and how her past will “live” in her presence. Dana is forced to assimilate to the past because she has no control over her fate, and her life in the past revolves around slavery. The fact that Dana quickly transitions from the past to the present shows that she is quick to accept this time of slavery even though she is not mentally prepared for it.

Each of her different roles in nursing she enjoyed something. Yet, none of them were “just right”, so she uprooted and jumped on the next opportunity.

Christina Hawthorne is the Chief Nursing Officer of Richmond Trinity Hospital in the first season of the television series Hawthorne. This character contains many exemplary characteristics any credible nurse should possess, and she loves her job despite all the long hours she puts in.

Hawthorne has also opened my eyes to see some of the common misconceptions about nursing such as sexism and roles of nurses
A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.

The face of nursing is believed to be just a female face; an overwhelmingly and discouraging female face that not only affects our image but affects the people that are thinking of choosing this career path. Like many other professions, both genders take part in this field. Although the number of men in nursing is growing, there is still something that draws others back. For the males wanting to pursue this career, they are setback and discouraged because of what they would be seen as. Media views males in the nursing field to be homosexual; making them feel as if the profession is a more feminine career and that the more suitable career for their gender is to become a doctor.
Journal Entry #1 Introduction to Nursing Alyson Lanyon University of Missouri-Kansas City During the first few weeks of this class, it has amazed me how much information and history there is about nursing. Hearing these things, and reading about the amazing accomplishments that women like Florence Nightingale achieved has created an even deeper passion for nursing in me.

It has made me come to the conclusion that nursing is NOT for the light of heart.
I am currently an undergraduate at Rowan College at Gloucester County completing my pre-nursing studies. As I was growing up, I always enjoyed the idea of helping and healing others. My inspiration to become a nurse was watching my mother make a difference in the lives of elderly at a local senior living community as an Activities Assistant for years. Even though, she was unable to go back to school due to personal circumstances, the compassion she showed towards others around her was something special as she took care of them as if they were relatives. Whenever I had free time, I would just sit and play a game with the elderly residents hearing their life stories from when they were young.
