Specializes in NICU, Infection Control.

I appreciate the variety of ways nurses can find to use their skills and knowledge: not just hospitals, nsg homes, etc, but in research, public health, health care business (reps and research nurses) and lots of other places.

Also, men and women can pull themselves up the profession, perhaps starting as a CNA, LPN, ADN, BSN, MSN, etc.....

I'm a nursing student too and I will graduate May 2008. I'm so glad to see an encouraging post.

I love helping patients and touching their lives.

I love learning about the human body and teaching patients and even some of my friends.

I love learning new procedures to treat patients.

I always wanted to have a career in the medical profession and a few years ago I decided to become a nurse. I had no idea how much nurses do until I started nursing school. Now, I have 2 semesters left until I graduate and I'm so excited to become a RN. Thanks for posting the encouraging and touching stories. :smiletea2:

...learning something cool every day. AND

...Even though I'm packing their naked, unconscious, post-arrest family member in ice, they still hug me and say, "Thank-you so much for being so nice."

Specializes in correctional, psych, ICU, CCU, ER.

When I started nursing school in 1970, the instructors used to say, "LADIES!!! Do not EVER do this, or you will kill your patient". We kept notes on these things, when we graduated, we made a booklet "100 Ways to kill a Patient"

It is now, "100 ways to kill and not be caught"

Just kidding about using it...it does exist (and my smiles aren't working, what's wrong here???)

I knew from the time I was a little girl, that I wanted to be a nurse. I 'took care' all of my dolls and stuffed animals, my patients. I had a little cape, and a 'nurses bag' with candy 'pills' (remember them?)

Nobody pushed me, there were no other nurses in the family.

Been a nurse for 34 years and wouldn't change a thing...

Even working in the jail..every time I think I've seen it all, something else happens and shows me I haven't.

Specializes in Infusion Nursing, Home Health Infusion.

I love to see the spirit and dedication of the other nurses---it still amazes me

every day is different and exciting(though some days I admit I wish it was not)

I love to see the look of relief in the doctors and nurses eyes when I arrive --they know it is me and they know I will not leave until I get the IV in

I love the beauty of the human body and how it works

I love my friends

I love that I can comfort a patient with a kind touch, reassurance and knowledge and skill

I love to talk with family and treat them with kindness and respect

I love that I work in a hospital and not in a business office

I love to make changes for the better in how work is done and kept track of

I love to tell my daughter---mommy is a nurse----I will take care of you
