why i want to become a nurse

As a child, my dream had always been to become a nurse. I remember as a young child playing hospital with my siblings I was always the one taking the temperature, listening to the heart beat and giving the medicine. It is true, when I was younger I did not understand the full job description of a nurse, all I knew was that they took care of people, however, I did what came naturally. I also remember being extremely jealous when my mother bought my brother a doctor set.
Needless to say, I always snuck and played with it when he wasn't around or too busy playing with something else. The compassionate, warmth, and determination that my family truly and deeply poses, helped mold me into the person I am today. Seeing my mother and siblings go out of their way to help someone in need, helped me grasp these sensational virtues. I understood that everlasting feeling of joy, accomplishment and self-worth that making a difference in someone's life was when, in my turn, was helping friends of mine with assignments in class, or even people I didn't know crossing the street, carrying shopping bags to their doorstep and even something as simple as putting a Band-Aid on a child's cut. As simple as these deeds were, they were all the more gratifying for me and more so when I started working as a Certified Nursing Assistant. I truly admired taking care of my patients, helping them accomplish daily goals and being a part of their accomplishment, was even more gratifying than I could have ever dreamt.

I firmly believe that being a nurse is my calling in life. My eagerness to learn, help people and personality along with my efficiency will benefit any of my future employers and certainly make me a better person and remarkable nurse.
