Everyone has a calling. A calling from God. I have prayed and prayed for what seems like years to me on what my path that God has set out for me.
It all happened on a random summer day. I was driving back and forth between the doctors office to the ER for someone who is so dear to me, worrying if they were going to be okay or not. I knew then, I wanted to be a nurse. I felt driven to figure out what was wrong them and make them feel better. I knew all along what was wrong them when the doctor at the doctors office didn't.
After all that, I prayed to God if this was my calling, I prayed and asked if I was on the right path. Months and months later, here I am in the position of waiting to hear if I get into the nursing program or not.
I want to be a nurse because I want to help others, I want them to feel comfortable and not to worry when I am taking care of them. I want to feel like they are open to talk to me about anything, like I am a friend they've known all along. I never want a patient to worry when they are in my hands. But I know with the Grace of God, I can do anything in my will power to inhabit this path and make it the best of it.
I know nursing school will take a lot of hard work, dedication and time but I know if anyone, including myself, who has the desire to be great, can do anything when they set their mind to it.
Being a nurse will be so rewarding. You will have so much responsibility but don't let that underestimate you. God won't put you in a position that you can not handle. He puts you through hard positions to learn from them and to be stronger. Being a nurse, you have to be strong because there is things that you probably wouldn't imagine ever seeing. To be a nurse, you have to be courageous. You have to be heartfelt. Although, being a nurse will be hard but I know if anyone has the heart to be one, they will be extraordinary.
I can not wait to have a bond with patients that look up to me when I take care of them. I can not wait to change the world by simply just giving help and care. I can't wait to go to work every day doing something I love to do. To me, being a nurse, I will never work a day in my life. I can not wait to graduate and become a person that I always have wanted to be.
I cannot wait to be a nurse.
