Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions a person has to make in their life. It is so important because that is what we will have to do to support ourselves throughout life. Imagine being stuck in a dead end job and having to go to work every morning and dreading it. Life is too short to work 35 years and be unhappy with it. If a person likes their job, then it is not work, because finding satisfaction out of a job can bring great happiness. That information has enabled me to make the decision of choosing my area of study and career in the field of Nursing.
I was raised with almost everyone in my family working in the medical field. We have marine Doctors, nurses of all sorts, therapists, and even behind the scene medical family members working in jobs like medical billing and coding. Growing up and hearing stories at family gatherings of their experiences, always left me on the edge of my chair. I would not go play barbies with my cousins or basketball with the uncles I was the kid eavesdropping in on the adult conversations. I wanted to know more but most of all I was intrigued.
I believe that nursing is both art and a science consisting of psychosocial and biological sciences that work together to continually improve the health care field. As a nurse it is crucial to carry the attributes of being caring, compassionate, understanding, nonjudgmental, realistic, open-minded, honest, ethical, and moral. I also feel that it is important to maintain sensitivity to all cultures when providing care. I believe it takes someone with a huge heart to do what nurses do. Some things you cannot be taught. If you are not a generous and caring person I cannot say I would think one would survive in the hands on medical field.
The health care industry is booming; in fact, it is number seven out of 20 leading occupations, according to the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
