Nursing Career Choice

Improved Essays
I feel the Nursing Undergraduate course is the perfect choice for me. As a person who spent part of their childhood witnessing the work undertaken in the nursing profession through many visits to hospital over the years from a young age; it always made me realise that I wanted my future to be in a medical career. I have chosen adult nursing as you can work almost anywhere and gain very good life and career experiences.
During my childhood I have experienced first-hand the tasks that nursing staff have to deal with on a daily basis. Due to this, I believe that I would be able to deal and understand any tasks and challenges, such as assessment, diagnosis and treatment, which I would face as a member of a nursing team. I am a great learner and very good at working in a team. This is demonstrated in my job at Sainsbury 's where you have to learn certain regulations and systems that are in place throughout the store. It also shows that I 'm an excellent team member because you have to work with other members of staff in the store to get certain tasks completed to a very high standard.

    For this research paper I will be writing about my major, which is pre-nursing. Pre nursing is something that I’ve wanted to do for a while and is something that I’m really passionate about because I have always found it intriguing and interesting since I was young. It turned into a passion when I was in high school because that was when I really started to think of a serious career path. In high school taking a class in Anatomy and Physiology validated that choosing nursing as a career was the right choice. When I was younger, I remember watching medical shows on the Discovery Life Channel and being really interested in how the human body worked, for example how a person can get a heart attack and the processes the body goes through during…
