Essay / My Personal Experience: My Nursing Experience
The one personal experience that always gave me the passion to become a nurse was when I took care of my grandmother who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. My grandmother always told me what an amazing caregiver I was to her and I knew from that moment on that I wanted to work in the medical field. There have been many occasions in my life where I have spent hours sitting at a hospital bedside with my grandmother, struggling for years. And as I sat with her trying to keep her spirits up, I still admired the nurses who cared for her. I think there are a handful of truly inspiring professions and nursing is definitely one of them. I was then able to see the extent to which the nurse had an impact on patients. Nurses provide an invaluable service to society, and being part of this group is one of my ambitions. My impression of nursing has strengthened and I look forward to graduating and taking care of myself.
