For my research I researched my aunt who works in the medical field. I want to grow up and be a labor and delivery nurse. I asked questions like: What was your school experience like?, If you could change one thing that you did to get into your career, what would it be?, What does your average salary look like?, What is the hardest thing about being a nurse? Etc. What I learned is that the journey I’m about to embark on is going to be a difficult one, but to me it’ll be all worth it in the end. My passion lies within this field and I will do anything and everything to end up doing what I truly love. I also learned that the salary she makes is 60 - 70K just as an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) so by 20 - 21 I’ll be making this kind of salary. I’ve also learned that since the course I will be taking is accelerated that everything will be that much harder but I feel like I’m ready for that. This has made me feel confident in my after high school plans. I feel like I can be successful by the time I say I will and personally that's the main goal, to be well off and happy with my life. The following is just some questions and responses that were done during the interview.
What was your School Experience like?
She described it as hectic due to the rigorous schedule of her program. The program she took to become an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) was a 12 month program in Lincoln Tech.
If you can change one thing that you did in order to get to your career path, what would it be?
She told me that she wishes instead she would have just done the full program into becoming an RN (Registered Nurse) because being an RN gives you a whole lot more opportunity for work and hands on patient care experience.
What does your Average Salary look like?
60 - 70K a year as only a Licensed Practical Nurse.
What's the hardest thing about being a Nurse?
She said the hardest thing about being a Nurse was the responsibility of someone's life in your hands. It's very scary how one mistake can lead to something terrible happening and that weighing on you is the worst part.
Was Nursing your first career choice?
She answered yes because of where she came from/ her background.
Since I'm taking vocational school as well, What was the hardest part about it?
She referred to the fast pace course again being the hardest part since everything is faster studying and stuff becomes more hectic and hard to do.
What is your Favorite part of being a Nurse?
She said getting to help others, especially those who are in need of it and always going to be employed because no matter what, Nurses are always in high demand.
