Day 9

Today I spent my day in the admissions office which was not very uneventfully at all. I created packets and stuffed folders all day but it gave me a time to think. I thought a lot about if this (working in a hospital) is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I decided that it is. I came to terms that I am not the type of person to have a job. I do not like just sitting around doing boring. I feel nursing is not a regular job it's much different. Nurses are working hands on with other people with the ultimate goal to make them better or better off. I was talking to my mothers husband the other day about it. He worked on Wall Street all his working life but is now retired. He asked me a very simple question can you see yourself working in a hospital for the rest of your life and I really do believe that I can. I definitely do not see myself sitting in a cubical for the rest of my life or having another type of desk job. I like the work of nursing even though it's different. The hours are different than a regular profession and the people that work as nurses are different too. Someone once told me that it takes a special person to be a nurse someone who wants to help other people and see them get better. I definitely enjoy both of those things and would love to be apart of community who has those goals in mind. Nurses have always held a special place in my heart. After watching them interact with my mom when she was sick with cancer it made me realize how much nurses are respected. It also showed me how much respect these people have. This past weekend I went to Fort Worth, TX to visit my future school Texas Christian University. It was incredible but aside from that I went in the nursing building for the first time. That was amazing. The whole building is made to look like a hospital on the inside which is really cool. Although their program is hard this internship is really giving me an extra push to stick with it because just working in the hospital really solidifies that this is where I want to be for the rest of my working life. Other than my deep thinking during this period in the admissions office. I also did my work of creating packets and stuffing folders the most exciting that happen to me during this time was I accident stuffed the first hundred folders wrong and had to go back to fix all of them. Other than that nothing really that interesting happened today.
