Nursing is more difficult — but also more rewarding — than I
ever expected. The nurse is the communicator between social
workers, doctors and patients. We learn how to have the best
bedside manner and deal with an individual patient’s family and
culture. We are the ones who advocate for the patients’ best
interests. I always knew I wanted to work in the healthcare field
but didn’t know exactly how to pursue that dream. During an
internship in a hospital, I realized that nursing would be perfect
for me. With nursing I could practice in all sorts of settings and
have the opportunity to give patients direct care and treatment. I
like how all my classmates have the same underlying drive to help
people. We may have different interests and specialties, but that
common thread ties us all together. The job security as a nurse is
unbelievable. When I go to career fairs, people from all sorts of
industries are begging me to explore their options! There are
endless possibilities with nursing. The more you work the more you
realize all the avenues you can explore. I probably can’t even
fathom all the possibilities that are in store for me with my
nursing degree. I wish people knew more about what nurses do and
how great the field is. In high school, I wasn’t even aware of all
the advantages of being a nurse. I hope students become more
educated about the profession earlier on in their education.
