There are both advantages and disadvantages of being a nurse. to begin with, nurse is a meaningful job which saves people’s lives. A nurse not only provide help medically, but also give support spiritually like sharing personal experiences with patients when necessary. Also, we are
almost doing everything new each day which makes the job exciting. A nurse works among different patient care areas and meeting new patients. In addition, nurse is a profession which demand always stays high. Instead of hospitals and health care centers, schools, companies or even law firms also employ nurse to ensure health condition of employees. There are various working places to choose as well.
One of the con of being a nurse is the amount of psychological challenges he or she has to encounter. They not only might face death every day, but also being judged or not respected by patients. And most importantly, as they are meeting patient and handling with testing samples for chemical tests, they are exposed to different kinds of dangerous and infectious diseases. Whenever they make a wrong decision or a mistake might cause them suffering from diseases or even loss their lives. A nurse is actually like a doctor, they also have to work under huge pressure without enough rest.
In the future, if I have the chance to be a nurse, I think that I would be most suitable to be a travelling nurse. The main reason is that I choose this allows me to work in a specific location and a short period of time. I have the freedom to choose when and where to work as well as have the opportunity to travel around the world. Also, as I usually meet only one patient each time, I am able to know patient’s personality well, take a better care of him or her. This is really different from being a nurse in the normal hospital or health care center as I feel that I will have more respect and continue my passion working in this field.
