Why a Nurse?

Hey fellas, so just thought I'd see everyone else's thoughts on this?

1) WHY NURSING?

2) AGE?

3) LIFE GOAL AFTER NURSING?

1) I choose nursing to be a direct impact on people's lives and encourage people to do things they think they can't do.

2) 23

3) Possibly working towards a masters in nursing or going the pre-med route. Would like to work as an ER nurse and ICU nurse for a couple of years. Also considering the idea of flight nursing...

I have gotten a job offer on a CVICU, ER, And Neurotic ICU
Neurotic ICU?

Is that a reflection of the patients or the staff? :-)

1) Pays well. Lots of options. I like human interactions and providing care. I also like to be challenged and learn a variety of things. It's not a boring career. Makes a difference. Scrubs solve the "what to wear today" scenario.

2) 26

3) Thinking about FNP, Pediatric NP, Diabetes Nurse Practitioner, Navy Nurse or NP, NICU Nurse, or Midwife. :)

I have been a carpenter for 25 years and always felt that something was missing. Then a few days before Christmas a few years ago I was picking up my daughter from a friends house and their grandmother started to fall down the stairs. I scooped her up and walked/carried her up the stairs, made her comfortable on her bed, moved her to the chair becouse she was SOB lying down. She stopped the EMTs while they were carting her out of the house so she could shake my hand. She died that night and I took a prep-cchem class that summer. Now I amd about to finish my second semester of Nursing school in the Philly area. I should have done this out of highschool I love it!

2) 46 -Yea, old enough to be most of your dads.

3) I got in thinking Hospice and Geri. Now ED and eventually teaching in nursing school, you know, when I'm too old to pick up little old ladies, I'm NFL size now.

Fortunately, my wife and kids are very supportive and encouraging.

See you on the floors!

1.) I want to help people, feel accomplished when I go home from work, see my patients being comfortable, job security, opportunity to move where I want, and decent pay to name a few.

2.) 19 yrs old

3.) My goals are in a line: right now I'm working as a CNA while finishing a GenEd Associates that will be done in December 2014 then during August of 2014 I will be starting LPN classes. I am planning on working as a LPN then for at least a few years and then may take a LPN to RN program. If not I will stay an LPN.

1) Why nursing?

A. Get myself some ladies!!... check. Met my girlfriend in school, 3+ years going strong despite annoying distances

B. Nice pay. awesome benefits, 4 days off a week baby!

C. Original goal is to become a CRNA/anesthesiology assistant. At least with nursing if I changed my mind in my near later life my gig would still be pretty sweet and I can change up where i work or what unit. That being said, I landed my first job in a BICU in and my goals are going as planned, even if I may delay it by a year or 2

2) Age- 25

3) Become a CRNA/DNP. Get myself an MBA later on in life, become a top dog and run wherever I work. Work hard in order to make more while working less.

1) I feel like God directed me into nursing. I originally wanted to go into medicine. I -instead- went to culinary school and landed a job as a nutritional aide in a hospital, working in the nutritional department, telemetry/med-surg, and rehab. I had a lot of fun working with the nurses, which helped me decided on going to school to be a nurse.

2) 19 and should be starting nursing school this school year.

3) After getting my BSN, I plan to work a few years - possibly in the nursing corps. Then I want to work on my DNP to get my CRNA license. I'm also considering med school. (We'll see!)
