Nursing has been a personal passion ever since my late childhood based both on my character traits and aspirations for the future. I have always imagined myself excelling in a field whose primary obligation is catering for the innermost needs of people. In my opinion, no one is needier than a sick person and nothing elicits innermost needs as the will to live coupled with the realization that this will may not be met. Indeed, nursing is more of a calling than a career to me and going to college and nursing school is simply a means to an end that I already believe I belong to. Florence Nightingale is a personal hero whose story I know by rote. The Crimean War would only be remembered for the violence and senseless killing that took place. However, today it is also remembered by the story of the kind lady with a lamp that shines a bright light on the sad story. More recently, America is in a hurry to forget the Korean War, which cost so much and never brought peace. The story of the famous Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) only known to Americans as the Marsh brings a positive tone to this sad story too. That is what nursing does, in the midst of pain and darkness it shines a light and brings in some positivity. Illuminating the lives of people in the middle of the darkest moments of their lives and creating hope in the midst of hopelessness informs my enthusiasm to be a nurse.
The second reason why I would want to be specifically a nurse as opposed to any other member of the healthcare based profession is because I consider nursing to be more about caring. Normally, healthcare is considered from a negative perspective and focus more on illness than the ill. To a doctor, a patient is primarily a person with a problem that needs a solution. The doctor will do everything within training and capacity to get rid of the disease. I believe a nurse on the other part sees a suffering human being first before seeing the disease, medication or surgery. It is all about a suffering human and the suffering loved ones. Before they need a solution to the problem, they need caring and attention. They need someone to tell them that it will be OK and mean it. For one to say to a dying patient that it will be OK and not lie, it takes a holistic approach towards life; an approach that looks beyond the curative aspects of healthcare into the caring aspects. Therefore, it is not whether or not someone finally dies since all shall die one day, it is how cared for they felt as they took their last breath. This makes nursing a passion for me, not just a professional affiliation.

Finally, the reason why I want to be a nurse is because I believe my character qualifies me for the profession. Since I was young, I have always had a concern for others and have gone out of my way to assist them. Passing by a blind man who wants to cross the road without offering assistance feels to me like a major crime. I have organized mercy mission groups since my tender years in an attempt to help the sick and less fortunate. My enthusiasm towards the nursing profession is not based on the ignorance of the difficulties and hardships kindred to practicing the profession but rather to an understanding that I have the mettle to handle it. In this regard, I feel predetermined to be a great nurse as the profession will come naturally to me. I do not expect to feel repelled by the seemingly complex duties of taking care of patients because it is part of my nature. It is from the totality of the foregoing, that I would aspire to be a nurse.
