First Day of Nursing School 8-23-2010

Today was my first day of Nursing School at Tallahassee Community College. I had everything set up the night before so this morning it didn't take me too long to get ready. Ren (my boyfriend) sat up with me as I got ready for the day ahead. Class went pretty smoothly too, I was definitely really nervous! My teacher seems really cool, so thank goodness about that! So, the questions ahead....
         Philosophy of Nursing: dedication and endurance to persevere through whatever task that may present itself in the nursing atmosphere. The ability to tend and care to the needy, elderly, sick, or injured in a professional manner. The want and need to help others and go above and beyond in the healthcare industry.
         What made me want to be a nurse? Well, I do have a long history of nurses in my family & I do love interacting with people and having an impact on their lives; but one of the main things that happened that made me decide to want to be a nurse is just a typical night at the pool actually. Some of my friends were horseplaying and my guy friend wound up busting his chin open, me being me I naturally took care of him. The rest kind of fell into place from there.
         What type of nursing? I want to eventually become a doctor but one of the main reasons I want to pursue nursing first is so I can determine exactly what my calling may be. When I become a doctor I want to be an OBGYN so I can imagine I will try and work in labor & delivery or pediatrics. The medical field has endless possiblities so I can't wait to find out what it may have in store for me!
         My definition of a nurse: a person to care and tend to the needs of the sick or unforunate.
Overall I'm really excited about the journey ahead! I can't wait to see what the future has to hold and where I may wind up. Everything has so many possibilities and I'm curious about the next few years of my life :)
