One of my passions in life is
being around babies. Since I was little being around babies has been has always
held my interest and because of this I plan on becoming a Neonatal Nurse. Many
people do not know what a neonatal nurse is, so I guess I will tell you. A neonatal
nurse specializes in the care of newborn babies. As this specialize nurse you
are able to choose from three different levels in which you would like to work
on. The first unit is where the “healthy” babies are cared for, the second is
the housing for premature newborns and the third is the intensive care unit.
Newborns in the intensive care unit are the ones who need special breathing and
heart-regulating machines, because it would be impossible if they did it on their
own. I plan on working in this unit, because I want to do all I can to ensure
the survival of these innocent babies. I know you all are thinking, “How could
I want to be around sick babies all the time?” but I don’t think of them just
as sick babies, but as innocent lives who just want to have a future. In
becoming a nurse of course I must complete nursing school and this is where the
problem comes in. Illinois State’s nursing program is very competitive and it
is extremely hard to get in. I am extremely worried that I will have to transfer
to another university where I did get accepted. I am currently working on
completing all my perquisites and keeping my gpa as high as possible. I know I’m
probably just being paranoid and hopefully I will get accepted into the nursing
program. This is my passion in life and I plan on working my hardest to ensure
my life is a success.

Wow...that is AMAZING. I'm a sensitive person and don't think I could handle seeing a newborn die in intensive care without breaking down. Honestly, you are a brave, strong, and compassionate woman for making this your career goal.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the nursing program. I'm sure if you work at it, you'll be a shoe-in.
