Hello everyone !
First off, i'd like to introduce myself. I would also like to share to all of you my story. My name is Nick, and I am 25 years old. I am currently starting at the bottom of the ladder in California in the nursing program to become a LVN. After school, i'd like to work the field and break down my specialties and find out where I will ultimately fit in and excel the most in the medical field. Once I have had some experience, I will continue education for the BSN program. Once i'm finished with my BSN, i would like to become an ER nurse, or run my own floor/station. My goal is to become a NP, PA, or PCP. My dream is to run my own family practice with other fellow nurses and doctors.
The one experience that truly inspired me to work in the medical field occurred when i was a child. My brother had bilateral fractures to his left humerus, and right radius. A surgeon as a local hospital took the case, overstepped his boundaries, and my brother fell into malpractice. My brother had to be reassigned to an orthopedic specialist after his healing was finished with the previous local surgeon. He had suffered an entire adolescence of immobility and depression from missing all the opportunities to be a teenager. It was then I decided I will go into med school to become a doctor, study and practice to the best of my abilities. In this case, anyone who falls under my care will get the best care they can possibly get; and not suffer !
I am shouting out to the world and stumbled upon this wonderful discussion website! I have no contacts and would absolutely love to start building my own nursing community. I absolutely love the in depth science of anatomy, etiology, and pathophysiology of the human body. I'm sure there are many of you just like me that must understand "deeply" as to "why" a patient has elevated BUN/Creatinine, or "why" the sudden onset of respiratory distress, "how" compensatory mechanisms of the body work to maintain homeostasis, and everything on a molecular level. Thanks for reading ! Please feel free to comment, add, and introduce yourself below !
Thanks,
Nick
