I am planning to embrace my profession. I want to experience nursing in all its grandness by attending professional seminars, attending nursing association meetings, and getting involved some way in the political scenes of nursing. As a teen I participated in political caucuses and competed in oratorical contests. I think that my personality would be well suited to some of these activities in some way. A great leader is a better follower. I would love to work behind the scenes and have professional nurses represented to our policymaking leaders, as well as to the people.
It's funny, I never felt this sense of pride about being a professional nurse. For the first time, I was asked to be a part of a committee at work. I didn't have to ask and it wasn't something delegated. It was because I made a statement denouncing negativism on the unit, and encouraging unity and supporting our nurse manager, offering solutions to identified problems.
The greatest thing about nursing, it is so diverse. And just like it takes all kinds to make this world, it takes all kinds to make our profession truly great.

This is very interesing. I admire someone who has found ther niche in nursing and actually look forward to being an active part of our profession. I have been a nurse for 10 years and have yet to find my passion. I have enjoyed most of the jobs I have worked but not to the point I would mentally say that this is where I'm going to retire. I'm hoping after graduation more dooor will open up for me as a professional nurse so that I can finally find my cushion.

I hope you find your niche in nursing. I got a 4 yr degree in psychology, signed up for a master's program in counseling because I was getting out of nursing. Then I started the bridge program to become a RN. It funny, I lost my passion for being a nurse once. Now, it's kinda apart of me, more than just a job.
