Bobah’s Answer

Hi Dolores! I am not a nurse anesthetist. However, I have been a registered nurse for many years and am also a nurse practitioner. I didn’t know nursing was the right fit for me until I had finished school and started working. Looking back, I enjoyed talking to people and getting to know them. I got into nursing when my grandmother died and I thought being a nurse would be a good entry into the medical field, which was an interest of mine. One of the biggest reasons I decided against trying to be a nurse anesthetist was because the programs were financially more than nurse practitioner programs and they also required nearly 10,000 hours of clinicals, whereas nurse practitioners required around 700 clinical hours. I have a young son and the timing and financial commitment were difficult to manage.

Dolores’s Answer

I wanted to work in a profession where I could help others and especially children. I started with a diploma in nursing and focused on pediatrics when I had graduated. I love children and working with them and their parents. If you want to help others and have a big heart then nursing could be for you.

Jennifer’s Answer

Hi Rylee, I am an Emergency Room nurse who is also trained as a vascular access Nurse, what that means is that i am very good at placing Intravenous access and cannulating veins in patients who have poor veins. I have been a Nurse for 10 years now and I can honestly tell you that I did not planned to do any of my specialties. When I was in nursing school, I thought I would become a Critical Care nurse, and so far I have not ventured there. So to answer your question, I think most of us knew we liked helping others in need and were attracted to the medical field in one way or another. Nursing has so many great branches and although it's great to plan ahead and have a vision for what you want to accomplish, just remember to have an open mind when going into nursing, you never know where it might take you!

From my perspective, the most compelling reason to become a nurse stems from my challenging past experiences. I've faced some tough times, which inspired me to help others as a nurse.
