#1 When did you first realize you wanted to be a nurse?
I would like to know a little story about how you decided to become a nurse. What other careers did you consider?
Here is my story. After I graduated from high school I was accepted at Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio. I changed my mind every week about what major I was going to choose. one week psychology, one week Spanish education, one week International business, one week missions, one week nothing I don't want to go to college. I was without a solid direction. Two weeks before I was to leave for school, my grandmother got sick and was in the hospital in Minnesota. My dad was told that he and whoever else could come should make the trip because she wasn't doing well. I was able to go with my dad, and we spent three days in the hospital with my grandma before she passed away. Driving home reflecting on those three days I realized how much I enjoyed being in the hospital despite the difficulty of losing my grandma. What impacted me the most was the nurse who took care of her. So I figured I would at lease give it a try and I prayed that my passion for the profession would continue through school. During my five years of school I never doubted that nursing was what I wanted to do. Also during those five years I experienced many affirming situations that made me realize that this is what God had made me to do. The implications of this I am still yet to fully understand, and to be honest something I am afraid of most of the time, but I hope to discover with this group....but we'll leave those discussions for next time.
