I really enjoyed being there for my grandma and helping to take care of her. I love my grandmother very much. I think that a big reason why I chose to go into nursing is because of my grandma and my opportunity to help take care of her while she was sick. I am definitely a people person, so I love having the chance to interact with many different people everyday. Probably the greatest part of nursing is when you see your patients heal or recover from surgery or an illness so they can get back to their normal lives.
Nothing is better than seeing someone get well and back on their feet again.
Everyone is trying to cut costs. One concern I have is keeping the nurses and direct care staff needed to take care of patients. Another challenge is educating the public so people understand the ever changing information we have about staying well and healthy and avoiding diseases and injuries. We have so many opportunities now to make decisions and choices in our lives to help us live a healthy and long life. Finally, our health industry needs to keep trying to better communicate the resources and treatments available to prevent, diagnose and treat people.
