Favorite Thing About My Profession:
My favorite part of being a nurse is how diverse this field can be. There are SO many different avenues you can take in your entire nursing career - what other profession can do that?
When I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fresh out of nursing school, I was ready to conquer the WORLD. How true a statement that is; you can literally go anywhere in the world and personify your profession!
In all, I love the patients. I love being able to converse with physicians and therapists and KNOW what it is that I'm talking about - WHY? Because I'm good and LOVE what I do.
What it all boils down to is enjoying, embracing, loving, healing, and caring for others.
I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree at Wilmington University in order to advance my nursing career as an Adult/Gerontology Nurse Practitioner so that I can practice at the expert level and give my patients the best health care possible. Our nation is in need of experienced health care practitioners that will focus on health maintenance and disease prevention.
To me being an advanced practice nurse is about educating patients so that they are empowered to take charge of their health and the health of their family.
