Pediatric Nurse Application Essay

When I started this program I was deciding between being a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, but now that I have been through the program and had a chance to explore many different careers I have shifted between many different pathways in the medical field. Especially when I went to the medical career club meetings, I would always question what I thought I wanted and would end up going back to my main reason for wanting to be a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, I love working with kids. As I transitioned from introduction to health to medical terminology, I found one career that I never knew existed, a neonatal nurse. As soon as i realized that you can work, let alone get payed to work with babies, there would be no questioning what I wanted
Health Ed. has been really easy because we have pretty much covered most of that units, even the CPR unit. I have also used what I have learned in this class outside of school mostly with my family because when they would not know what something means I would always be able to tell them what it means. I have also noticed that I understand what my doctors and more specifically what orthodontist is saying during my appointments. I will use what I have learned in this class to my advantage while in college and nursing school. If I could go back in time I would not want to change anything but I would tell my 9th grade self to relax and that I made the right choice, if not one of the best choices so far. I think five years after graduating from Wheeling I will be in the process of getting my registered nursing degree and after ten years I see myself having a nursing job and maybe working as a neonatal nurse if possible by then. In ten years a lot will be different about me but I see myself being in a good place. I really enjoyed being in this program and I am going to miss it, but I am excited that I am moving to CNA next
