Why Do I Want To Be A Nurse?

I want to be a nurse because I enjoy being around people in their times of need and I get internal satisfaction by serving those that need help. I remember when I was just a kid and I played with my cousin that we were both nurses, I grew up saying I wanted to be a nurse and that is when I realized my passion for nursing. I believe that the cure for many of the people’s ailments is not just in medicine, it is in the care that they receive as patients in hospitals and their homes. I believe that it is important to provide a patient with the right kind of atmosphere and environment that is conducive to his/her recovery. It is important to keep the room of the patient a place where he/she feels the soothing and healing effects from the environment. I think nursing not only includes taking care of patients and helping out the doctors. I believe that there is some art to nursing as well, other than all the education and science involved of course. I believe that that caring is the essence of nursing. Even though I am absolutely positive that a career in nursing is what I want in life, I still have some concerns. My biggest concern is that I will become too attached to my patients. I am a very compassionate person and I want so badly to be a positive influence in the patients life.
