What is Nursing?

Being a nurse is more than just caring for and helping people. Nurses have many duties and obligations such as administering medications safely, performing appropriate procedures and following provider’s orders. As a nurse, I must care for individuals that are vulnerable and dependent on others and have compassion towards people in need. I must build trusting relationships with patients to make them feel safe, comforted, and important. With trust, patients will let me know more into their issues and life. In nursing, it is important to be able to effectively talk to patients in a way that they understand. Nurses need to be able to master both effective communication and technical skills of the job to be successful.

I volunteer in events in the Iowa City community. Once specific time I volunteered for a FTK Day, to raise money for Dance Marathon. Being there, raising money for children was an amazing experience. I got to spend the afternoon with the kids, they can always make me laugh. My favorite part was when the kids got to paint our faces because they really enjoy it, and they are who we are there for. I am passionate about helping individuals who need it and I want to make a difference in someone’s life everyday throughout my nursing career. Volunteering has been very rewarding by opening my eyes to the needs of others and making me a better person. This shows my compassion and drive to help anyone in need, which are important qualities for nurses. Working with others who care about people as much as I do is rewarding because we enjoy what we are doing and know we are making a difference in the lives of people in the community. I enjoy being able to give my free time to people who need it.
Something else I do for this community is donate plasma, giving others a chance. I do my best to be a helping member of this community and every community I live in. I strive to make a difference every day. Whether doing something as simple as picking up something someone dropped or sharing a smile with a stranger. Through all this, I have learned I can make a difference in so many little ways that change so many lives in big

A volunteer experience of mine that comes to mind is one that is probably my most favorite volunteer experience yet. It is one that I get to do at my very own school called DUCK Week (Doing Unselfish Charities for Kids), which is a week long event that I have been a part of since I joined Piedmont Schools as a second grader. What makes this charity unique is that it focuses only on a member or a few members in our very own community, which is why we are able to be so successful with it. It is easier for someone to understand the need to help when it is someone that they may know. This small town in Oklahoma rallies around community members and together we raise funds to help those in need.

I have done countless hours of community service and do not plan on stopping any time soon. I am mainly involved with TCLBAF (Tri-Cities Lady Bulldogs Athletic Foundation) Inc., where our mission is to mentor youth in our community. We expose them to a numerous amount of sports and performing arts opportunities and also assist with their academic needs (tutoring, helping with school work, etc). Being a high school student myself, I deem this organization to be very beneficial. Along with TCLBAF, I’ve volunteered with the AVID department at my school.

I work multiple concession stands, whether it’s for basketball, softball, or baseball games and I also volunteer to work scoreboard for volleyball or basketball tournaments on the weekends. Lastly, this past Christmas all of the chorus members walked around town and went caroling to local businesses, such as the library, the fire station, and the bank. Because this was our first time caroling, I considered it a great experience and plus, it allowed the community to get free entertainment. I enjoy helping out the community

Nurses are not just competent in a certain area, but they are all areas in the health care setting and outside of it as well. Nurses are the heroes when it comes down to taking care of patients.

My passion for health and helping others had pushed me to volunteer at Moundville Health and Rehab which is my town’s local nursing home. This is where I have been volunteering my services for the past year, and I have obtained over one hundred hours of community service hours. Volunteering has helped stimulate my own mind and showed me there is so much more to life with so many missed opportunities. The impacts I have observed first hand was very life changing. This experience has given me hands-on training while assisting residents with fun activities such as sing-alongs, board games, crazy ball, and other daily functions.

Growing up, I never truly understood the importance of helping others. I used to think that no matter how hard we try, there will still be people who need our help. To be honest, the thought of having a career in healthcare never crossed my mind, until the car accident that occurred during my junior year that put me in a coma for two weeks and took away my brother’s life. After I woke up from my coma, I didn’t talk to anyone, except the lady who volunteered at the unit that I stayed in. Every morning, she always came in and told me a little bit about her life story and how volunteer helped pull her out of the darkest time in her life.

What does nursing mean to me? Nursing means helping people heal, meeting their needs while they are in your care, listening to concerns, protecting them from harm, and educating them how to care for themselves while treating them with dignity, compassion and respect and giving of yourself to the care of people and community. It is having compassion for people and their health and being a humanitarian, making sure they receive the best care possible. Nurses must also treat families of patients with kindness, realizing they are going through a stressful situation also. Nursing is a responsibility to provide the best care regardless of the patient’s age, race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or their past.
