about me
Where am I now?

Task 1:

I have had many life experiences along with several family influences, one that has always stayed with me which is the biggest reason why i first wanted to take upon this career was my mother.
When i was little my mother would always talk about how she helped people and it would give her the most amazing feeling knowing she helped at least one person everyday. Consequently this made me wonder how it felt to support those people that really needed aid. It also made me wonder how amazing it really felt whist doing this partly the reason why I wanted to do this career. My mother was a nurse and since i was around the age of 7 I always wanted to be like her, due to the fact that i want to help people just like her. Moreover my mother made me realize how important it is to help those in need. She made me strive for the best and I always wanted to be just like her helping other people. In addition when she was ill in the hospital the nurse taking care of her did so well making sure she was comfortable and we was comfortable too; when she passed away I knew she was happy, this made it less harder to let her go. This made me realize the real meaning of being a nurse and how helping people is only part of the job it also includes being able to help others feel emotionally ready. This concept made me more want to be a nurse.

Another concept that made me want to take this course is my work experience during year 10. In year 10 I did my work experience at St Wilfred’s Primary school. During my work experience i worked with year 2 where i learnt many different skills that would help me in the primary school sector. Work experience really made me want to work in the health care sector because I really enjoyed working with the kids and doing several activities. Seeing the children happy made me think what helping people really meant and that is one of the reasons why i want to become a nurse, to help people and make them happy.

School,

    Pursuing a career in the nursing field was the first change that I decided to make when I held my sister's hand as she gave birth to my three year old nephew. I was inspired by the care that was provided to my sister and my newborn nephew by various types of nurses before, during, and after birth. Since then, my awareness for the well-being of others increased while learning more about nurses and what they do. My first experience volunteering at Texas Children's Hospital has also encouraged me even more to become a nurse when I encountered my first four year old cardiac patient. I was prepped by his nurse in how to safely interact with the patient while she was helping me into my protective gown and gloves. The real inspiration was actually meeting the patient and lessening his anxiety of being in a hospital through one on one contact.…

    There have been many occasions in my life that I have spent time in hospitals, nursing homes and by the side of a sick relative. When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he spent as much time as he could at home with his family by his side and when the time came, he was transferred to hospital, I was 14 at the time, still very young I knew it was not about how I was feeling, this pain was his and my grandmothers. I helped look after him for the two years he was diagnosed and it was during that time, I knew where my heart was and that was nursing.

    When I would visit the nursing home as a child I never knew the impact it made with the patients or the impact they would have on me later in my life. I took care of my patients as if they were my own family. I came to realize this would be difficult when I would a patient decline or pass away. Working with other departments and learning the different skills I did, I came to see the value the nursing home has on its patients, family members of patients, and staff. The nursing home teaches everyone involved about the ending of a life or the appreciation of the one you have and those around…

    My interest in nursing started when I was 6 years old, when I volunteered to help my aunt at the clinic she worked in as a nurse. Over the summers, I learned a lot about healthcare, nurturing, and empowerment. I also discovered through the interactions with the residents how therapeutic and comforting an encouraging smile, a friendly conversation and a helpful hand could be. I established strong relationships with several of the residents. I especially treasured my time with Charlene, a funny 56 year old resident. She showed me that helping others is one of life's greatest gifts. For that wisdom, I will always be grateful.…

    My dad had gotten very sick. The doctors found a tumor in his large intestine. Hearing that, I felt like my whole life crashed before my eyes. My dad was such a good man that sometimes I thought why something so bad, would happen to such a good person. Doctors told him he needs surgery immediately, so dad had no other choice. He went into surgery and my mom and I were there by his side the whole time. Dad needed to stay in the hospital for a full week after surgery so we each took turns staying with him. I would come from school and go to dad, and mom would leave to work. We would take turns. This hardship was difficult for me to bare. My dad didn’t really speak any good English yet at that time, so I had to be there for him and translate everything. I knew I had to help him out. Hospital days were long. I remember sitting in a chair near my dad’s hospital bed and seeing all the nurses come in and out of his room. They were all so sweet and caring. They were all trying their best to get my dad to heal faster and get better. I remember sitting there and thinking to myself, how exhilarating it is to work as a nurse and make a difference in someone’s life every single day. From that day on, I have always wanted to become a nurse. I decided that I was going to study nursing so that I would be able to make a difference in people’s lives one day.

    I like to believe that there are an array of factors and values that I have encompassed throughout my life that have played a role in forming my personal philosophy of nursing. I have always viewed myself as a kind and compassionate individual who enjoys helping others. As I have previously mentioned, my mother has been an oncology nurse for my entire life. I view her as one of, if not the main influential aspects in deciding upon my career. When I was younger I always enjoyed hearing her stories or reading her letters from patients about how helpful and caring she had been. She always came home with a smile on her face and would say that even after the most stressful day, knowing that she was able to make a difference in someone else’s life, is what kept her going. I have used that as a fuel in my own career. I made it one of…
