I want to have a career in Nursing, I also want to further my education and have more than just a bachelor degree of nursing. In the Bureau of labor statics, most of the information about advance practice nurses such as a Nurse Anesthetist, Nurse Midwives, and Nurse Practitioners were familiar to me. For example, I knew if you want to be an advanced practice nurse you need to have at least a master’s degree in nursing. Also, I knew that because they are required to have more education they are paid more than a registered nurse, an advanced practice nurse median salary which is about “$102,670 per year” (“Nurse Anesthetists”).
One of the most surprising things I saw was the projected growth rate. I also thought that as long there're humans on

    My life is rather very complicated. Of course, I know that I’m not the only one that lives like this, and that other people may have it much worse than I do.

    I first became acquainted with the occupation of radiologic technology in high school when I had the opportunity to participate in job shadowing. I immediately chose radiologic technology as one of my first choices. I chose it because, like so many other students in my class, I had never experienced getting an x-ray or any other type of radiation modality growing up. I became interested in the science and anatomy aspect of radiation sciences and also was amazed at how a machine could produce images of bones, babies in the womb, arteries, etc. I traveled to Mercy Hospital in Iowa City for my first job shadowing experience where I observed several barium studies of the upper gastrointestinal tract.…

    I believe that nursing is a lifestyle shaped by my desire to make a change in people’ lives and to provide comfort, support, and better health outcomes to those in need. I see my patients as the main reason why I decided to become a nurse. After I moved to the United States, my parents used to take me to the emergency room at least every other month because of my asthma. That time was an eye-opener to what I wanted to do with my life. The nurses were the ones caring about my feelings, completing my physical examination, taking my vital signs, interviewing me to figure out the root of my problem, and notify the providers.…

For example, Rita Connors remembers nurses’ names to be highlighted after different shifts to have information on who was the nurse that took care of which patients.…
