Hons) because this career path is very interesting, challenging and passionate me everything when I want to be a pediatric nurse. I was clear about my decision into Pediatric nursing because this is suitable profession for me to gain respect, working with children is something excites me and make me to learn some new experience and very rewarding career. From my own personal experience, I was a pre – mature baby so I easily captured flu, fever or lack of growth in me. So, whenever I go to hospital, the pediatric nurse really treats well and bring me smile in me and they don’t really make me scared and they make more comfortable where I don’t realize that I am staying a hospital as the surrounding is more peaceful and fulfilled with smile and happiness in every single child I have seen.

    Pursuing a career in the nursing field was the first change that I decided to make when I held my sister's hand as she gave birth to my three year old nephew. I was inspired by the care that was provided to my sister and my newborn nephew by various types of nurses before, during, and after birth. Since then, my awareness for the well-being of others increased while learning more about nurses and what they do. My first experience volunteering at Texas Children's Hospital has also encouraged me even more to become a nurse when I encountered my first four year old cardiac patient. I was prepped by his nurse in how to safely interact with the patient while she was helping me into my protective gown and gloves. The real inspiration was actually meeting the patient and lessening his anxiety of being in a hospital through one on one contact.…

    When I started this program I was deciding between being a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, but now that I have been through the program and had a chance to explore many different careers I have shifted between many different pathways in the medical field.

    Becoming a Registered Nurse has been something that I want to become in the future, since I was twelve years old. At that time I experienced having my niece hospitalized when being a month old from pneumonia. Those moments are hard experiences that no one would like to experience but it is part of life. Therefore since that time I want to make a difference on the people who have to be hospitalized, helping them to recover. Although I would like to specialize with infants and children because they have a lower immune system and those are the most fundamental years of their lives.…

    There have been many occasions in my life that I have spent time in hospitals, nursing homes and by the side of a sick relative. When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he spent as much time as he could at home with his family by his side and when the time came, he was transferred to hospital, I was 14 at the time, still very young I knew it was not about how I was feeling, this pain was his and my grandmothers. I helped look after him for the two years he was diagnosed and it was during that time, I knew where my heart was and that was nursing. With my own experience of being in and out of hospital with two complicated pregnancies, I was in awe of the nurses and midwives who did everything they could to make me feel secure and safe, I was inspired and made an already certain career choice, even more evident.…

    Whilst growing up I experienced the care and devotion that Nurses provide children with whilst they are in Hospital when I was hospitalised myself; witnessing this again many times when my siblings or cousins were in Hospital. I was in awe of how kind and dedicated the nurses were to their patients and from then I have had a powerful desire to follow in their footsteps. Child Nursing is an extremely challenging, but overwhelmingly rewarding, career path that I have wished to pursue for many years, it was when I began to care for children with disabilities, two years ago, through a local charity that the idea of becoming a Children’s Nurse was entirely cemented into my mind.…

    I began nursing school at Valencia College in August of 2006. Once I completed my pediatric clinical rotation at Arnold Palmer hospital, I began working as an advanced clinical tech in acute pediatrics--a pediatric medical surgical unit. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to become a Pediatric Nurse. Pediatrics brings such a unique perspective in health care that I fell in love with it and to follow, I completed a pediatric nursing internship in my last year of nursing school and began my nursing career as a graduate Nurse in 2007. The first few years of nursing were some of the best times of my career as I learned the foundations of how to care for children and families and I knew I wanted to excel at it. After working nearly a year and a half as a RN in the acute pediatrics unit, I transferred to the emergency room--the only level one trauma center in the Central Florida area.…

    The areas of nursing that interest me the most are critical care, pediatrics, and cardiothoracic nursing. I really enjoy working with children, and I love the pace and intensity of the intensive care unit. My dream job will be in the pediatric intensive care unit.
