Personal Statement/Proposal
When I was younger, I always went places with my mom. The reason I want
to be a registered nurse is because I enjoy helping people. I want to be a
registered nurse because my aunt and her kids Heavenly and Braxton were in a car
wreck. During the wreck Heavenly my 14 month old little cousin was in critical
condition. She was cut out of the car seat to be escorted in the ambulance to
the hospital, while at the hospital she died three times. The medical team that
June night of 2009, was amazing they brought her back twice. She then was air
lifted by helicopter to Children’s Hospital in New Orleans Louisiana. She then
stayed in the hospital for 21 days. When we went to visit her the next day, I
got to go into the room with her, she began having a seizure. It was the
scariest thing I had ever seen in my life. I ran out of them room, screaming to
the nurse because I didn’t know what was going on. The nurse told me what it was
and then I was fine.
Some things that I already know about my career are that registered
nurses have to be very organized. Also you have to have great people skills. You
also have to go to school for about 4 years to become a RN. Registered nurses
have to have good communication skills. I want to be a registered nurse because
I feel like I would be able to help people that are sick. I have always wanted
to be a nurse that takes care of adults and children. I love being able to take
care of others I believe that I am fit to handle this career.
I am going to find more information about my career by going to
experience it hands on with my mentor. My mentor for this career with is Felicia
Forest. I choose her because she is a person that loves what she does, and takes
her job very seriously. I planned on starting when we were told about how many
hours we had to have and when our mentor papers where due. I couldn’t start then
which made me very nervous because I didn’t think I would be able to get it done
in time, and this is because my mentors mother got very sick and was in and out
of the hospital. I didn’t follow any kind of schedule to meet with my mentor; I
just called her and asked what time she had to work and what day. I went to
work with my mentor yesterday the date of March 13, 2014. I hope that I will
accomplish many skills and learn more facts that I didn’t currently know.
My ultimate goal for this career is to help as many patients as
I can. I want to work at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans or St. Tammany
Parish hospital in Covington. I do not want to have my own Doctors office,
because that would be too much to handle. I have the decision on moving or
staying in Franklinton, because I can drive back and forth to work every day.
The opportunities of being a registered nurse are of many. One opportunity you
have is being able to work with sick people. Becoming a registered nurse as many
opportunities, but in order to get them you have to have the education needed.
