Why I Want to Be a Nurse!
My main inspiration to become a nurse comes from an inborn desire to care for
people in times of their need. I feel that helping patients overcome the burden of
different health conditions, as well as, supporting their families through such difficult
times is satisfactory. Seeing individuals suffer, deeply affects me psychologically, and
also acts as a drive that will enable me to help them alleviate part of their pain.
Furthermore, helping people in need has a positive impact on their lives and the
community, as a whole, which is equally rewarding. In addition to helping people in
need, I believe that the nursing profession is a great career.
There are new experiences to be faced every single day that requires fast thinking
and the changing environment thrills me. The medical field is dynamic with different
approaches to wellness and healthcare being researched and discovered to improve an
individual’s quality of life. Being a person who thrives on addressing challenges and
my keenness on new knowledge, I believe that nursing will offer an effective
environment to utilize my strengths and explore the opportunities and diversities in the
career.
For over ten years, I have been working in the health plan industry, and I have
been exposed to the healthcare environment and challenges that diverse individuals go
through in the search of better healthcare. This experience, therefore, makes me be
attuned towards the patient’s healthcare which creates the opportunity to advise them
on how to manage healthcare, as well as, healthcare costs. Additionally, I have been
fortunate enough to meet different healthcare professionals and have particularly
worked with nurses in different avenues in the healthcare setting. Seeing nurses’ work
has been inspirational to me, as I witnessed how they help in saving lives, assist
patients when dealing with dire conditions, and encourage their families to be positive
– even during palliative care. The ability to handle both saving of lives and losing
lives and managing to work on the next patient is amazing. I hope to acquire such
skills and the diligence to work in the medical setting and have a similar dynamic
impact or more in the healthcare platform.
Through different encounters in the healthcare setting, I have invested in the
fulfillment of my spiritual needs and physical health, and this makes me avid in
joining missionary nursing. The thought that there are individuals in different parts of
the world who cannot access proper medical care, prompts me to offer my skills
where I can to help them access quality healthcare; both spiritually and physically. I
believe that caring for patients who have very little privileges is rewarding. I would
moreover love to help in the prevention of healthcare conditions that have been
successfully managed in my region by providing accessible medical resources to the
underprivileged. I am therefore inspired to begin as a vocational nurse where I can
provide fundamental nursing care in a health setting and get an opportunity to get into
missionary nursing. I believe my drive to work in such environments will be an
inspiration to many practitioners that will come after me.
