Becoming a nurse was my dream!
I remember that day as if it were just yesterday; a few weeks after graduating from nursing school, I took a deep breath and walked into the large hospital building. The same building I had passed so many times before, only now I was walking in as a nurse, ready to start my career and make a difference in the lives of those I had the honor of caring for. It was a moment I had dreamed of for so long, and I was more than ready to take on the challenges ahead.
As I stepped into my first patient's room with my stethoscope around my neck, I felt immense pride and accomplishment for all my hard work and sacrifice. That feeling was quickly replaced with a warmth in my heart and a smile when I said for the first time, "I am your nurse."
I worked hard to turn my hope into reality of becoming a nurse. First, I dedicated myself to studying and passing the Board of Nursing exam with flying colors. Next, I applied for the job and impressed the employer during the interview. Finally, I took the first step toward my goal of a successful career in nursing.
When I was offered the position of Staff Nurse at Booth Memorial Hospital in Queens (now known as New York Medical Center of Queens), I didn't hesitate to accept. Even though the only shifts available were at night, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work at the hospital where I had hoped to work. I eagerly accepted the position enthusiastically and looked forward to the many experiences I would have as part of the hospital's team.
Hope is more than just having a belief or being optimistic. Jonathan Sacks puts it best: “Optimism is the belief that things will improve, while hope is the faith that together we can improve them. Optimism is a passive virtue, while hope is an active one. It is the drive to take action and change the world positively." With hope, we can create a brighter future and make it a reality.
