What is the hardest part about being in the healthcare field?

I am a senior at East Wake High School. After I graduate, I want to attend ECU to become a Physical Therapist or an Athletic Trainer, or just something in the healthcare field. I love learning about the human body and mind. I like learning about all of our bodies systems and why we think they way we do.

Nancy’s Answer

Working in the healthcare field is incredibly rewarding. Most days, I head home feeling proud of the work I've done. One of the biggest challenges is remembering to take care of myself. I often prioritize my patients over my own needs. However, I've learned that if I don't look after myself, I can't effectively care for others. As a nurse, I aim to set a good example. If I'm advising a patient on the importance of weight loss, I need to embody that advice myself. Practicing what I teach has pushed me to improve and grow stronger, both mentally and physically.

Hi! I just passed my Board of Certification of Athletic Training! I am happy to see that it is a career path you may be interested in. I would say the hardest part is taking care of yourself. When working in healthcare, you are constantly a giver and "fixer", but it may seem like that isn't always reciprocated. My advice for this is to surround yourself with a strong support system. Find those who will care for you at the end of the day when you are exhausted from caring for others. Please let me know if you have any follow up questions about AT or PT, I am happy to help and I love to talk about it. Good luck!
