I developed a compassion to help people after the care I was given after a pretty bad motorcycle accident I was in. My father was a nurse who got me to register for my first college class and began my journey to becoming a healthcare professional. During this journey I completed an EMT and Firefighter course and got my first taste of the Emergency Field. I immediately fell in love with this area of expertise. My very first week answering calls I managed multiple cardiac arrests, multiple car accidents, and a range of other emergencies. Nothing would turn me away from this new passion I developed. Six months later I got a call for a roll over accident with multiple ejections from the vehicle. I was the first ambulance on scene and started to triage. This was my first time having to deal with multiple pediatric victims (four in total). I was able to treat appropriately having only lost one of the patients was not a success for me and began to beat my self up over it for the next year. It wasn't until a similar call went out where everyone survived because of the treatment we provided that I began to receive the compassion I had once yearned for. I recently graduated from nursing school and earned my BSN and have become officially licensed after passing my NCLEX. I have landed a job as an ER nurse starting in September 2015, which I will look to continuing my passion for the emergency field. I truly believe that if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.

I do believe the NCLEX carries a bit more risk than nursing school tests. This is the test that makes nursing school worth all of the tests you took, this is the test that will allow you to practice...
Yeah the scary part is we will never know those who took 6 tries to pass. The only way to really see incompetent nursing is stories about lawsuits or those Nurses you work with that should touch a...
