Why did I choose Nursing????????????

I chose nursing because I truly wanted to spend quality time with my patients and their family. I feared at first that I would be looked down upon with nursing as a career, but I was wrong. The face of nursing is changing. I am proud to represent my patients and answer both their major and minor questions. Nursing is expanding with higher degrees
available so that gives me confidence to out run the know-it-all physicians that refuse to even listen to nurses ideas or instinct. Nursing is highly professional and extremely flexible. I have no second thoughts about being a RN. We've moved away from doing just "bed pans and urinals" It's time for nurses to be recognized for their accomplishments. If I have a choice between my family doctor or nurse practioner, I will choose the practioner because you get the facts and the emotional support-besides, they're less expensive to visit. Nurses are healers and heroes! Love them all!
