Career Presentations

So for the past couple class sessions students have been presenting their possible future careers, including myself. I find it very interesting to see the wide spread of goals that every student has, and we're only half way through! Watching the presentation has given me possible career options if my first choice isn't the best fit for me. This project definitely gave me the opportunity to further explore my profession as a neonatal nurse. I made the conclusion that my ultimate goal is to be a neonatal nurse practitioner. They make the most money and work in Level III NICU, which was always my goal. They also are more educated because their title requires a Master's degree, and who wouldn't want that? Through my analysis I also found that nurses make very personal connections with the patients and their families providing a strong sense of community. I enjoy working in a team environment and with people, both of which nurses do frequently. Although I still have some doubts, this project gave me more confidence that neonatal nursing was the right job for me.
