Nursing

                Nursing is a rewarding carrier. I started my carrier out as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistance). You have a lot of responsibilities with taking care of sick patients. At the nursing home you have the elderly with taking care of their personal needs like helping them with their bathing, helping them with eating there meals and if they need to walk or be transported anywhere. It is rewarding seeing how happy they are when they get their needs and wants that they need. With having your CNA (Certified Nursing Assistance) you have to also have your CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). This is a mandatory thing in most of the nursing field.

                I eventually went on to working as a LPN (license Practical Nurse). This carrier is very rewarding. You can work almost anywhere that nursing is needed. You get a certified license. Working at the hospital is a challenging place of employment. You meet a lot of different patients. You really get to use your skills at the hospital. You do the entire medication passing. You hang all the IV medication and also get to start the IV sites on the patients. You also have to do all the treatments on the wounds, surgical sites that the patients might have.

                Nursing is very rewarding but can be frustrating also. There is always a shortage with staffing that makes it very frustrated and makes you feel rushed with your job. It is very tiring to work like that. It makes it very hard with staffing issues when there is a call off and there is nobody to call in to help you out. You sometimes get very burned out with all the responsibility you are responsible for.
