1.The characteristics that intrigued me of the nursing practice was when I was a patient at Danbury Medical Center when I was 10 years old. As a patient, I began to see the care that the nurses had given me. They took their time to make sure I had the best care possible. Whenever I was in pain the nurses were there by my side. They had taken the time to make sure I was as content with my current status. I had never expected that going to the hospital from flying off a cliff on my skateboard would direct me into my future dream job. The nurses showed me what patient care really and truly was. Patient care is putting others in front of your own needs. Being a great nurse is showing your patient that there is hope. Patient care is not only making …show more content…

6. I chose Keiser University Nursing Program in February 2016. I walked into Wayne Warner 's office when I was 8 months pregnant. Expressing to him how badly I wanted to become a nursing student, he told me that I could do it. Many other schools I approached turned their back on me, feeling as if I would not complete the program with having a newborn on the way. He told me to complete the classes at Indian River State College then come back. I came back a month after my son was born and with my Associate 's degree and continued that I chose Keiser University Nursing Program. He had never turned his back on me and new that I will complete the nursing program. With a lot of support at home, I will be able to give the time an effort to show you that you will not be dissatisfied. I feel that Keiser University nursing program will be great for me because of the hands-on training, the smaller classroom sizes, as well as the wonderful staff I have encountered on

    I have known since the beginning of high school that I wanted to major in nursing in college. At first, I figured I would go to a larger school where the nursing program does not start until students enter their junior year, however, after I was exposed to the nursing profession through volunteering at St. Louis Children's Hospital, I decided I couldn't wait to get started. I learned how much compassion and wisdom nurses carried with them, and I realized that I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else. This thought is what initially drew me into Truman State University, as I loved the idea of entering the nursing program my very first semester on campus.

However, a nurse requires more than merely an interest and the desire to care for others. During my first few months as a nursing student, my understanding of nursing, or lack thereof has come to light.…

What makes a nurse successful is the ability of making the best out of the interaction with the surrounding you people and picking up on their virtues.…
