I believe this about nursing, it is not just a profession, but merging of passionate and holistic care. My desire to become a nurse sprouted when I went for a mission trip to a Leprosy Hospital near my home town in India. There was still a social stigma against leprosy and so called “Leprosy Sanatorium” was isolated from the rest of the world with a huge wall. I remember carrying a bag of clothes collected by my mother for the patients there. I was deeply touched by the smile and gratitude patients showed to the nurses caring for them and cleaning their wounds. That is when I decided that I want to become a nurse. Another reason for my decision to become a nurse is my brother, who is also a nurse. His experiences and stories from hospital inspired me and made me realize that nursing is truly for me. I joined one of the prestigious Universities in India for my BSN through merit and scholarship and I graduated at the top of my class. After graduation, I worked in various acute care settings and also as a clinical instructor in India.
These beliefs directed me to choose nursing as a career; in which nursing gives me a great opportunity to fulfill my desire in helping others, and providing comfort to them in their time of need. Being a nurse is also equally important to make a difference in patients’
Objectives of a nursing occupation includes; providing care to patients, following doctor’s orders, distributing medications, creating care plans, and helping patients meet health oriented goals (American Nurses Association, 2015). Nursing can be very rewarding and gratifying, Nancy Thompson an oncology nurse stated “When we work together as a team—advocating for patients, providing supportive care, and caring for the whole person—we can change people’s lives and improve the health of our patients, our community, and our world” (Thompson, 2013).

A helpful benefit about the nursing field is that a college student can start by getting a License Practical Nurse certification and climb up the ladder to further gain licenses and exposure
Nurses provide exceptional service with the goal to restore the patients back to full health as soon as possible. Their job ranges from routine, to caring for people with life threatening conditions. The nursing profession gives back to the community and individuals. Nurses today provide care with the use of knowledge and skills that they have learned and also deal with patients overall as a person. A registered nurse must keep detailed records and reports on patients’ progress as well as administer medications. They must be alert and focused on subtle changes in each patient. They must also be able to verbally communicate effectively. A registered nurse has to be able to, sometimes, perform two jobs at once as well as interact with the patients and look at their reactions.
The career of nursing has been an aspiration since childhood. No one had to ask the question, “What would you like to be when you grow up?” in order to help me to decide which career or even educational to take in order for my aspiration to become reality. It was evident that nursing would be the career for me, looking back on one occasion as a child; after applying an entire jar of Vaseline onto my younger brother, my mother was swift in her chastisement of me, but it did not deter me from caring and doing whatever action within my power to help others to feel better.
This week, I witnessed a baby being born. One day later, I held a man’s hand as he took his last breath. Throughout these celebrations and tribulations, the admiration for the career of nursing flourishes within me. Strong, compassionate, determined, and empathetic are often adjectives used to express the qualities of a good nurse. Unlike many professions, nurses are unlikely to gain these traits just through textbooks and classwork alone. Our clinical experience evolves our thinking and skills into that of a true nurse. We are the forefront of patient care. Upon admittance, it is our duty to transform a patient's most vulnerable experience into one of comfort and care. Nursing is a career that is multifaceted. Changing lives and growing as

Have you ever wondered why nurses are so passionate about helping people? Is it because a nurse earns a lot of money? Being a nurse does not mean there is a lot of money, but there is a passion for nurses that drive them to get up every day and go to work to help thousands of patients’ injuries, illness, and diseases. In the late 20th century, there were not enough nurses, and patients suffered and died because of lack of health services. The reason a nurse inspires me is because I believe there is hope for patients’ illness, and I want to help people. A nurse’s career involves many educations, responsibilities, and good working environment.
