I WANTED TO BE A NURSE LIKE MY BIG SISTER, THEN I WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ELDERLY, HOWEVER I CAN REMEMBER IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WANTED TO BE IN THE MILITARY AND BE A NURSE. I HAVE DONE BOTH, AND NOW I CAN SAY THAT NURSING ALLOWS YOU TO BE AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
I never wanted to be a nurse when I was growing up. All that blood! Yuck! After I was married, turned out I needed a job. My Mom worked as a nursing assistant in a local nursing home and suggested I try it. During my time there I worked with a wonderful nurse whose compassion was awe inspiring. I thought that if I could be half the nurse she was, I would have accomplished something important in my life. I was an LPN for 20 years before going back to school and becoming an RN then achieved a BSN. This all started 30 years ago and I still get excited about nursing! What a wonderful profession we are in. A few years back I called that nurse on the phone and told her how she had inspired me. She was then in her 70's and long since retired. I don't think she even remembered me. But I'll never forget her and what she did for me.
Unemployment
In Nursing for this decade and probably the next, it something you won't ever need to worry about. The shortage we're in will last at least that long.

It attracted me to the field of nursing because I like to experience the feeling of into an O.R because later on I will took up masterals about medical surgical nursing. I am curious about the inside body of human in my own eyes so, it attracted me to this field.
