I Need To Become A Nurse

Finally deciding a career that's right for me makes life 10 times more satisfying.

I am choosing the nursing profession because I have always had the desire to help people for as long as I can remember. More specifically, I have always wanted to help children so that they could feel as little pain and stress as possible.

When I was 10 years old, I wanted to be a therapist and learned that I didn't like psychology very much. When I was 18, I wanted to be a teacher and realized I needed a more active and faster-paced career.

I recently came to understand that the proper career path was staring at me all along. Throughout my 20 years of life, I have seen many deaths and many family members have extended hospital visits. The memories of these visits give me the courage and determination to become a nurse.

When I needed information about a loved one, nurses would talk to me and walk me through what was happening. Nurses are truly the backbone of the hospital, and they should be treated as such.

I would like to help families cope and understand what is going on in their lives and do everything in my power to ease their pain. I would like to be the nurse who has worked for over 10 hours and still treats every patient with a smile and charm. I would like to set the example of what proper medical treatment and care should look like.

I would love the opportunity to become a nurse solely to put as much good into the world as I can. I would like to help patients and hopefully change their lives for the better with my knowledge and wisdom.

I deserve the chance to become a nurse because I am passionate about the outcome of patients' lives, and I will do everything I can to help anyone in my care.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
