My Choice My Career
“It’s time to choose” was the repetitive statement my mind struggled with after I finished my high school governmental exams. Deciding my major was like trying to swim upstream.
Being exposed to various subjects then trying to narrow your choices to a specific major was a bit difficult. However, winning a scholarship to American University of Beirut played a significant role in determining my major. Nursing was the choice. Nursing is defined as an autonomous and collaborative person-centered care of body, mind, and spirit. It is a crucial career that occupies a prominent position in society for its ultimate benefits. In her article “What
Is Good Nursing?” Thelma Ingles says: “Nursing is the art of helping people feel better” ( 1246).
Nursing can promote health, prevent illness, and facilitate coping with death and disabilities.
Nurses have various paths in their domain of work. One of these crucial paths is promoting heath. The main focus of this role is the well-being of individuals. They are concerned to preserve a healthy community. This can be achieved through improving nutrition and physical fitness, and by restricting some dangerous habits for example smoking, drug addiction, and alcohol consumption. Moreover, nurses can establish different campaigns about health education, sex education, and genetic education, all of these can raise the community’s and individual’s awareness. Thus, the population will be less susceptible to illness and establish a healthy environment.
On the other hand, nurses have an equal important role which is preventing illness. They prevent the occurrence of serious health problems by doing a risk health assessment for specific diseases. Also, they aid in the vaccination’s campaigns by immunization against specific illness.
