Nursing Degree Benefits
My nursing degree will mainly help me to get a job so that I can work in the meantime to gain experience. I do not plan on working as a nurse for long. The purpose of my nursing degree would be to set a foundation for becoming a PA (Physician’s Assistant).
My plan for the first five years after attaining my nursing degree would be to first get a job as a nurse. This would provide me with adequate on-field experience that will help me apply to the PA program. It would take roughly one year.
I would use this time to go on missions to other countries for volunteer work. All of this is to increase my chances of entering the PA program. After I have worked as a nurse for a year, I plan to enroll into the PA program and start pursuing my master’s

    Nursing, in my opinion, is one of the most significant professions that one can be blessed to acquire. To those who pursue this field know it is a career that requires far more than simply an education even though the knowledge acquired from a degree is extremely important and necessary, by grasping rationale of the laws and regulations that rule nursing. A career in nursing requires someone to have compassion, sympathy, and care for others, especially those who are suffering from pain, illness and lack the understanding of what is happening to them or a loved one. It is a career of humanity, and it is this that first attracted me to a Masters degree in Nursing. My philosophy about nursing is that it is a career that one has to work hard for, but also a career that a person needs to have to a natural affinity for. I also believe one must have a commitment to helping others not expecting anything in return but a smile and knowing when you go home you gave your all. The ability to be a compassionate, caring nurse is what I hope to bring to the Masters degree in Nursing Program, gaining…

    When thinking about your education you want to look at the idea of what you want to do in your career. Do you want to become a leader in the hospital or other health care facilities? Or do you just want to do the bedside nursing? Associates degree allows you to be a technical nurse at the bedside and a Bachelors’ degree allows you to become more involved in the managerial aspect of nursing. Bachelors’ also shows you the community side of nursing plus the research side so you can understand where the concepts that we use come from and how it came into existence. More and more hospitals are requiring nurses to get their bachelors degree because research shows that it “enhances nurses’ concepts of the profession and provides a wider range of experiences, allowing them to better adapt to an ever-changing health care environment.” (Spencer, 2008, p. 308)…

    Completing my bachelor’s degree in Nursing has been a personal goal of mine since I graduated with my associate’s degree in nursing.

    My intended career is to attain a career in nursing where I can express my care and patience to those who need it most. As I was growing up, I really enjoyed helping out and taking care of people in any way possible. I was always right there when something would happen, because I was worried and interested at the same time. I also grew up around family friends who have become nurses, so watching them do their best at their job was quite the experience. This is when I decided that I wanted to become a nurse. I am currently participating in a Certified Nursing Assistant class at Fox Valley Technical College, and I have been accepted to a Medical Assistant Program starting in fall 2017.
