A Career As A Registered Practical Nurse

Decent Essays
Honestly, I found it difficult to actually make a statement of my personal goal. Taking a glimpse on my journey, from contemplating to go back to school, to enrolling and finishing the practical nursing program. Juggling studies, family life and work, all of these still seem surreal. I am now at a realization that I am nearing to practice as registered practical nurse.
Nursing is truly hard and challenging, but nursing is also an exceptionally rewarding career. The experience acquired through our clinical placements were all memorable. The patients I had the privileged to care for were always appreciative. The feeling of being able to help is gratifying, it bring about difference in someone’s life.
I aspire to continue to practice nursing
