My Dream Job

Journal 5, My Dream Job My dream job would be doing what I’ve always aspired to be which is to become a nurse. Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on the caring of individuals, families, and the community so they can regain their health. Nursing is my ideal job because I have always loved helping people and receive money at the same time. Nursing is a respected profession and I believe it would be a good opportunity to challenge myself and grow as a person. The only downside to nursing would be its straining schedules and keeping a stable mental state of mind. I believe my dream job should require more staff, no daunting schedules, and less stress on the job. I admire the occupation of being a nurse because they play an important aspect in a person’s life and are demonstrate selfless in the things that they do to aid those around them. Also, I know that I would be able to support my family if I were to take on this career path. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been a “nurse.” When I was little, my job would be the nurse helping my older cousin who would pretend to be the doctor treating his patients, which would be my siblings. Also, when I was in elementary school I would visit the hospital to receive daily check-ups from the pediatrician, I would be captivated by the fun looking scrubs they would wear. Until, I went to junior high school, I strived for success in my biology and other science classes because of my fascination of the human body and how it works. As I reached high school, I entered ROP that is a regional occupational program where students who are interested in a type of field of work receive first hand experience. I participated in the program for 3 years and received experience in the hospital during my senior learning the daily routines of the nurses and employees. Now, I am in San Diego State University pursuing my dream as a nursing major. I know I have a long way to go to become a nurse

    A practical nurse is something I would really like and enjoy to do. I feel I have the strength, courage, and potential to overcome and do anything that life gives me. I honestly believe anyone can do and/or overcome anything as long as you put your mind and hard work into it. I love to help other people in any way possible, if that involves putting a grocery cart back for someone, or even letting someone cross the street. I know I was put on this earth to help people, because that is all I can seem to do. I’m not saying I don’t stress and have a few breakdowns because everyone does, but you have to live life to the fullest and just be happy, because things could be a lot worse. I’ve found life goes smoother when you add a smile and live for the day. Now you know a few reasons why I would love to become an…

    For the longest time, I have known that I want to be a Nurse Practitioner. As a young kid I, would play doctor and take care of my siblings or toys and just look after them, it was not until I was in High School when I actually discovered what I wanted to do as a career.

    Becoming a Registered Nurse has been something that I want to become in the future, since I was twelve years old. At that time I experienced having my niece hospitalized when being a month old from pneumonia. Those moments are hard experiences that no one would like to experience but it is part of life. Therefore since that time I want to make a difference on the people who have to be hospitalized, helping them to recover. Although I would like to specialize with infants and children because they have a lower immune system and those are the most fundamental years of their lives.…

    I began my nursing career as a licensed practical nurse soon after high school. I always knew that I wanted to become a nurse but I also needed to earn an income as soon as possible. Having a career after one year in school was something that I could handle personally and financially at the time. While in the L.P.N. program I had the opportunity to work in a local hospital as a student nurse. After graduation I took a position within the same hospital and worked there for the next 7 years. I had the opportunity to work on several units during that time, including medical/surgical, cardiac, orthopedics, mother/baby and finally the psychiatric unit. It was there that I found my niche. During that time I got…

    Nursing is a career not just a job, nursing is treating people as a disease, but as a unique individual who has his/her own values, beliefs, needs, and also treat the family with respect, compassion, patience, and show that we care. I chose nursing because I have always liked helping people. Ever since I was a little girl I liked helping and I would tell my dad that if he was ever sick I would take care of him so he could get better. At first I wanted to be a doctor, a pediatrician to be exact, but I chose nursing because, nurses have more contact with patients and nursing school is shorter than medical school. I know I made the right choice because as I have been doing clinicals, I have been falling more and more in love with what nurses do, but throughout the process I have also seen what kind of nurse I do not want to be. During clinicals there was an agency nurse a patient did…

    For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a registered nurse. I come from a family where wearing scrubs has always been the normal work attire. My mother has been a registered nurse at a highly accredited oncology hospital for over twenty-five years, and my father a pharmacist for about twenty. I have aunts who are nurses and uncles who are doctors. For me, the health care profession always just seemed to be my future. When I first began my actual nursing journey I was worried that I had possibly chosen the profession simply because it was so common in my family, and that I never even really considered any other career. Luckily for me, my first day of clinical in “Introduction to Nursing” sealed the deal. It wasn’t the environment, the schedule, or even the salary that lead me to feel confident that I had chosen the right career path for myself. Instead, it was the overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment that I felt when I saw how my care and compassion could help another individual during a time of need.…

I decided that I wanted to become a registered nurse shortly before I enrolled at J. Sargeant Reynolds full time. I was considering becoming an elementary school teacher, a counselor or a nurse. The summer of 2013 I went to the Philippines and helped at a pregnancy clinic. I could see myself becoming a nurse after that.

    My aspiration for nursing was sparked early in my high school years when my mom was diagnosed with Anemia and I visited her at the hospital on a daily basis. This particular experience exposed to me the roles that nurses play in the hospital setting. The functions of the human body and the effects of the environment, drugs, and genetics on the human never failed to capture my interest, however at that moment I knew that I wanted to do what the nurses did. With such a variety of paths one could take, I thought it be perfect for someone who wanted to travel, take care of people and feel like they've contributed their fair share to the world; these were the thoughts that came to my mind when it was time to pick a career.…

    Being a nurse meant a lot to me when I became a nurse 23 yrs. ago at the tender age of 21. It was not just a job for me but it meant caring for people in their darkest hour, comforting them when they are most vulnerable, and helping them when they needed most. Today, I feel privileged that I had opportunity that most people don’t to make a difference in people’s life from all walks of life (, 2010, p. 2). When I first became nurse, nursing as a career was not on my mind , my heart was filled with passion to help the sick , but today I see nursing as a career , a job , an opportunity , convenience , and a means to reach out and impact people’s life .…
