When I was a little girl growing up, I always wanted to be independent. I wanted to do things by myself. I never wanted anybody to help me in anything that I would do. This tendency of mine has always been in my head until now. This is the reason why I decided to take up medical assisting and hopefully in the future will make me live independently, earning my own money as I will continue to pursue a nursing course. My real goal in life is to become a nurse and I thought by being a medical assistant first will help me go to college.
I can see myself treating patients, taking care of seniors and seeing them get better. I know this is what I really want to be. I just love to be with people this way. Another reason why I want to be a nurse is that nurses will always be in demand as partners of doctors in the hospital.
Hospitals will never cease to be there because no matter how people take care of themselves, illnesses will always be there if we are not careful enough. With the kind of job that nurses do, they also get better pay and who wouldn’t strive to earn more money. We need more and more money. Needs and wants of people will never stop as long as we are alive.
Furthermore, hospital workers have a lot of benefits compared to other professionals. They and their families are fully covered with health insurance and other medical benefits. They also have opportunities for advancement in education if they choose to because some hospitals send their employees to college for free as long as they continue to serve in that hospital for the rest of their lives.
