Hello!
Hello!
So, what is your secret super power?
So what's your secret super power? What're you very good at? This may sound a little nerdy but I think I would have to say organizaiton. organization. What about you?
Hey orgionization is a good thing to have. Mine would probably be putting myself in other peoples shoes (metaphorically not literally)
Hmmm. That's very thought provoking. Where do you think that skill came from?
My mom probably, when i was little she always used to ask me how my actions would make other people feel.
Interesting! Do you think that has become a strength or a weakness for you? Or both maybe depending on how you look at it?
I think it's both depending who im thinking about
I'm sure it comes in handy though. Would you like to study something along those lines or go into a profession that would  require you to put yourself "into someone elses shoe ?
im majoring in nursing so it's kind of important so that you can have the right amount of empathy for the patient and the relatives although it can be hard because i can get wrapped up in how much they must be hurting and so then i hurt for them kind of thing
Yes. I can see how that would be important. I really wanted to study psychology and become a psychologist but my mom always told me that I would take everything too personally and that it would be bad for my personal life and I'm sure she was right. What would you say has been the most fun and the hardest part about studying nursing?
the most fun is meeting the people. seeing how amazing they are and how even though for many of them theres no hope of a cure, they are still fighting and hoping. It helps me be more inspired to live my life fully. the hardest part is probably the expectation to know everything in the end. eventually i have to be ready to help provide care for people and if i don't do well enough in school then i am putting peoples lives on the line which is daunting
That's good. I'm sure it is a very rewarding and very taxing type of job to have. That does sound very daunting. I know this isn't the best comparison but whenever I watch medical shows on TV I can't help but think about how much studying and training
Yeah but from what i've seen it's so worth it. You literally are serving all day long, doing things for others even extra things that will just make them have a better day
each of them has to go through to even scratch the surface of what they are expected to know. It can literally mean the difference for someone. That's cool. Have you ever had any funny or gross experiences?
yeah and then also if i don't do well in the GE classes then i won't get into the nursing program
Has there been anything you've had to get over? That's true. So you haven't been accepted into the program yet? Scary. I know its extremely comeptative which is unfortuante because I think we are in such a huge need for nurses.
I frequently had to help bath elderly people which actually didn't bother me as much as i thought it would. which is the scary thing XD and funny is just the jokes that people make when you're doing things in the hospital it's just entertainng
Haha that's funny! I love elderly people though! They've been through so much and have seen so much and have such interesting stories to tell!
Yeah they do! And they're always so sweet. I love them
I bet it is! I had some friends that worked at retirement homes and they said that it was hilarious.
I actually want to go into pediatric nursing so I'll be in a childrens hospital hopefully
That would take a ton of patience I'm sure. Personally I'm not very good with kids but that's okay. Everyone has their own "special power" right? Have you started your application for the program yet? Do you know when you'll find out whether or not you've got in?
nope not yet, still have a bit to go till i have the pre-nursing stuff done to be able to apply.
It's a really long process!
