Nursing Essay
Tafari Frazier
During my childhood and my now teenage years, I remember my English teachers asking what do I want to be when I grow up? What do I want to study in college? Being the child that I was I would give a quick sentence or a couple of words. Things such as a police officer, a firefighter ,or maybe a teacher. As a teenager, I was expected to write a three paper on what I would like to do as an career in my near futre. My answers varied each and every time I thought about what I wanted to be. In all honesty I didn’t know up until my senior year of high school what I wanted to do for a potential career. I can remember many kids saying they wanted to become a nurse or doctor . I can never recall actually wanting to become a nurse myself. Until i witnessed an experience that changed my mind, my life, and helped me decide what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life.
I witnessed a close friend of mine get shot, at a house party we both were at. A stray bullet that barely missed me hit one of the only friends ive ever had. I watched as she fell to the ground in pain. Bleeding and crying for help. I called the police and I told them I needed an ambulance and that my friend needed care right away. I followed them up to the hospital and sat and waited for my friend to get better. As I sat in hospital crying I saw the nurses doing just what they are supposed to. That is help and take care of the patient and make sure everyone is satisfied. The nurses were so welcoming, and patient, so caring, and such helpful people. One nurse just felt so bad and hugged me whule I cried and whispered to me “everything will be fine, we are doing all that we can for her.” That touched my heart to know that even nurses play a great role in the medical field and in taking care of people.
Witnessing the way the nurses were and seeing them in action made me feel as though that was the job for me. I have a drive for helping people; something about it just makes me smile. To know I helped save someones life would be such a blessing to me because I really love to see people happy and healthy. That night I learned that being a nurse isnt just a job or career, It is an adventure and a continuous learning process that I would like to commit to the majority of my life and time in.
At Saint Xavier Id use my scholarship money and my college time wisely. Id work hard to become somebody great in and life and be still be able to participate in different . Of course my priority would be school and keeping my head in my books, but id love to also see what your school has to offer. If I am admitted to your school and were to become a nurse id proudly take part in life changing events and miracles. Touching and saving the lives of others what id always do because its what ive always loved to do. Make great impressions, and change peoples lives forever, always knowing that their happy.
