My Path to a Nursing Career
I developed an interest in nursing while being a caregiver to my elderly father. I have also always had a strong interest in biology and have the desire to help others. Nursing will give me an opportunity to learn more about biology while giving me a challenging career helping the elderly.
I enjoy learning about biology and look forward to continuing to study this fascinating life science. An interesting topic to learn is the physiology of the human body and how our systems work together to maintain life. The complexity of the human body is amazing and a nurse not only gets to study this in school, but constantly learns about the body systems while working with patients. This is very appealing to me.
While emotionally fulfilling, nursing is also a challenging and demanding career, which is something that appeals to me quite a lot. I like to keep active, body and mind, and nursing fits this description. A nurse needs to be able to respond quickly to a patient, and sometimes to make critical decisions rapidly and efficiently. Nurses also need to respond promptly and think on their feet when responding to emergency situations, especially in a nursing home, where there are no doctors on staff.
Most of all, I look forward to a career of helping the elderly obtain the highest quality of life they are able to. Modern times have changed the way elderly live and how they are treated in residential facilities. A modern facility looks at the overall health of the patient, while keeping the residents active and stimulated. I like the way the focus is on keeping the residents as vigorous and as independent as possible. As a nurse, part of my job would be to evaluate the residents and make sure they are doing everything they are capable of doing. I look forward to being a part of the positive changes in the geriatric care field.
I am looking forward to a career in Nursing. My love of biology will help me to stay up to date on the latest studies of the function of the body systems. The challenges and demands of the job are something I know I will enjoy, and I look forward to years of helping residents maintain a high quality of life. My path to nursing is leading me to my career caring for the elderly.
