Galila H.
Fairfax, VA
Student
I decided to attend nursing school because it’s a gateway to so
many possibilities within a single career. I was interested in both
healthcare and social work, and decided on nursing because it
offers both. Plus, there are lots of combined-degree programs out
there that provide even more opportunities. For example, you can
get a combined degree in nursing and anthropology, go to
underdeveloped countries, and use your skills to help the people in
need there. At nursing school, the workload is sizeable — but so is
the gratification. One of the best moments I’ve had in nursing
school was watching babies being born in the OB unit. It’s really
amazing. Another benefit I didn’t expect from nursing school is
that it has allowed me to improve my communications and
interpersonal skills. I’ve become more culturally aware and
developed the ability to work with people from very different
backgrounds. There’s a great demand for nurses, and not just in
hospitals. You’d be surprised at how many medical institutions
offer huge scholarships or signing bonuses in exchange for you
working there for a reasonable amount of time, like two years. The
situation is not so much you looking for a job after nursing
school, but them looking for you.
