I am waiting to take my boards in 2 weeks. I am very excited and nervous. I can not wait until i am actually a nurse. I love to take care of people and be someone that can make a difference in their life. I am a Christian and the nursing field is a great way to minister to a variety of people. I prayer is that i will always remain humble and never judgmental.

What I love about nursing is:

The World War 2 veteran who loves to see this nurse smile and loves it when she has the time to talk to him about his glory days in the service. Makes me feel like I am doing my part in remembering him and his life as he tells it so it won't be forgotten long after he has left this earth behind.

Also the variety in what I can do!

I agree. I love feeling that I have genuinely assisted someone, whether it is just a momentary thing like rearranging their pillow, or more long lasting like providing help at home.
I like the support of other patients when you are dealing with one difficult person in the bay and the others are well aware and they smile with you because they can see how hard it can be.
I like to see patients laugh.
I love it when you make some sort of breakthrough eg you notice their bloods aren't right and no-one else has picked that up yet. Or the patient mentions something to you that they haven't told anyone else, and that something is vital.
Most of all I love those moments when you quietly hold someone's hand at a difficult moment in their day and feel that connection of one human to another.

What I absolutely love it to have people come into the Hospital for a procedure... nervous, scared and with all their prior experiences (positve or negative) and I can take this person through a procedure and at the end of the day they tell me "Thank you so much for making this a good experience"... eg. the husband that was angry and close to tears when he dropped of his wife that gave me a hug so big that I though I was going to stop breathing... THAT makes it worth it!

caring for sick people
giving emotional support
encouraging them to have hope
supervising them till they get well,

Its a call from God..
