desire to become a nurse .
Conclusion
As a nursing student actively preparing to enter this profession , I sometimes forget that I was once part of the general public that did not know much about nursing at first . Looking forward to my nursing career , I hope to engage people interested in entering the profession , especially as the healthcare industry continues to grow and change . With the introduction of new medications , treatments , and technology , nurses will take on increased responsibilities for preparing , overseeing , and monitoring the patient who receives such interventions . With a nurse ’ s many roles , responsibilities , and career pathways , this career provides the potential for many avenues of growth .
With time , I believe that the negative stereotypes in the profession can be mitigated by cultivating awareness of the nurse ’ s role , as well as encouraging others to speak openly about the stereotypes that affect them during their careers . In doing so , we will be able to take ownership of the profession ’ s image , establish nursing ’ s own ethos , and challenge stereotypes in the process .
