Neonatal nursing

I would love to work in the NICU of the hospitals where the premature babies are taken when they are first born into the world. These babies would always come into the NICU with not much of a chance to live and I would hope to be the one to be able to save their lives. This job would also make me plenty…

becoming a pediatrician or a veterinarian. I was excited because I remembered my father’s intuition. Upon graduating I thought, I was going to pursue my career as a pediatric doctor, but after giving birth to my son I realize I wanted to become a neonatal nurse. Observing how the nurses would take vital signs and care for the newborns was breath taking to me and I knew then that is what I wanted to do. I could do that for the rest of my life and be happy doing it. After taking care of my…

The exposure I have gained through being a pediatric medical assistant for eleven years has given me a tremendous amount of knowledge about what it takes to be a good nurse. Through my work in pediatrics, I have had the opportunity to provide care to children from the first day of life through the age of twenty-one. Over the years, I have learned that caring for children is not restricted to just the patient. You have to also provide passionate care and support to families as well. I have had…

achiever, futuristic, input, and learner. All of my gifts directed me toward nursing and in particular, a nurse practitioner because I like to sit and gather information on my on time. How could I have been so blind? I volunteered at the neonatal center at my mother’s hospital for years in admiration of what all of the nurses did, not to mention my crazy love for babies. After I discovered my new found love and passion for nursing, I looked for information to confirm my feelings and strengths,…

to Washburn University as a freshman, my major was Biochemistry/Pre-Med. Towards the end of my first semester I decided that I didn’t want to be a Pre-Med major anymore. However, I still wanted to stay in the medical field so I chose to go into nursing. I have always loved the sciences and liked to help people so it seemed like a perfect fit! The reason I am motivated to get my BSN is because it will provide me with a more advanced career and higher financial income than just a two year…
