I remembered in 10th grade of high school, being asked about my future career options. Well nursing was on the bottom of the list. After three different majors in college and student loans, nursing became my calling. Why nursing? Well the honest truth is that everyone in my family is a nurse, well to not exaggerate, my mother and sister are nurses’ themselves. While in nursing school it became clear that nursing is my calling. I was good at patient care, good at advance guidance, critical thinking and to tell you the truth, I had the same difficult time in nursing school as everyone else. But going into nursing I already knew that I would be overworked, stressed, unappreciated, not respected, talked down to but I also know that I would be sometimes appreciated, hugged, respected, valued, depended on and trusted upon. Today, looking back, becoming a nurse is one of the best decisions I had made in my life. Not only during this bad economy do I have job stability, good pay, while enjoying what I do, but I also get to make a difference in many people lives.
