Erika M.
Salt Lake City, UT
RN; Emergency Room and Shock Trauma Intensive Care
I went into nursing because of the many benefits the field has
to offer. I enjoy having the flexibility in my schedule, being able
to face new and different challenges every time I go to work, and
being ‘in demand’ all over the country. The job security can’t be
beat — I know that wherever I choose to live, good nurses will
always be in demand. In fact, I had many job offers before I even
graduated! I practice in two areas — the emergency room and shock
trauma ICU — because I thoroughly enjoy learning how to stabilize
the critically ill and work under pressure. It’s really intense at
times. Also, in these two practice areas, I think I’ve been able to
work with some of the very best nurses and doctors in the country.
Looking ahead, I’d like to help nurses network among themselves to
achieve better ‘ownership’ of their profession. I’d like to see the
nursing profession fully recognized and respected for the potent
and critical workforce that it is. Nursing school was difficult at
times, but it wasn’t as intimidating as I thought it would be.
Often times the prerequisite course work was more difficult than my
nursing classes. Nonetheless, my program provided me with a solid
foundation on which to build my career.
