It has always been my passion to care for people. I would like to take my passion for nursing to a higher educational and professional level. My career goal and dream is to become a nurse practitioner for geriatric patients with an emphasis in palliative/hospice care. Through the years, I have been able to make advances toward my dream.

When I graduate high school I hope to graduate with my CNA’s and I can start as soon as possible. As a CNA I hope to make a difference. In many places it’s easy to get a job as a CNA.

When I was a child going to the doctor’s offices was one of my least favorite things to do. Yes I always got a sticker when leaving which made it semi-tolerable, but getting poked by countless vaccines and being asked a million questions was stressful for a young child. The nurses at my doctor’s office were always full of smiles, and happiness and made the experience go a little smoother. When I graduated high school I realized that I wanted to be the smiling face of the doctors office world, even though it would be hard seeing little kids sick or scared of the doctors office being the people person I am I decided being a pediatric nurse was what I truly wanted to do.

I have many goals I want to achieve throughout my life. However, the biggest goal I have set for me to accomplish is to become a pediatric nurse. I have been dreaming of this career since I was about eight years old, mainly because of my best friend. She was diagnosed with level four Cerebral Palsy at birth. The first thing that pulled me towards nursing was the way she would cheer up whenever I encouraged her.

Ever since I can remember, my entire life has been filled with reoccuring hospital visits, some for me, and others for family members. A couple of visits were for my youngest brother Neddy, who was born three months early. He was put in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for two months and kept an incubator that only allowed us to touch him by putting our hands in the built in gloves for the first week. It was hard seeing him like that but I also liked watching the nurses and doctors work so swiftly and with ease. The NICU’s lighting was always dim and the room was always silent with an occasional cry of a little baby. Since then I’ve wanted to become a neonatologist. A neonatologist is doctor who helps infants who were born preterm, with birth defects, with an illness or any other problem a pediatric doesn’t deal with (Pediatrics).

Once I’m completed with all my schooling, my life purpose comes into play and that is to be a nurse. I want to try being a nurse in all sorts of areas. Also, I plan on continuing my volunteering for my Aunt’s

I believe I could be an Emergency Room Nurse because I love the idea of working in a fast pace environment. There must be an adrenaline rush working as an Emergency Room nurse.

I enjoy the idea of going to work and not every day being the same at all.

Whatever I choose to do I simply want to enjoy it, to be good at it, and to continue bettering myself. Becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner is my goal and I know in some few years to come I would have a Phd degree in nursing. I would like to help, be a huge part and play a role of success in the nursing field.

When I was a little kid I always dreamed of becoming a nurse I would always be nurses on television taking care of people and making them smile one of my biggest passion is to become a nurse. During high school I got the option to take a certified nursing assistant class throughout the class because everything that we needed to know but my teacher was not very good throughout clinicals she would only tell us stuff one time and she would never explain it we had to always figure it out by ourselves. The course was very challenging and when it came time to take our certified nursing assistant exam I felt really unprepared. Although I would always read my book and study the sections that she told us to and I would do good on my test and quizzes
