When I became a lifeguard, I got a taste of being able to help someone who is helpless and cannot save themselves. I quickly realized that the medical field is for me. I began to strive for more and made it my life goal to be a nurse. I became a CNA because it's a great stepping stone into the medical field and when I realized how good it feels to help individuals improve on their health, I fell in love with the job. I am proud of my title and love what I do. One achievement that I have in this field is that I nursed (along with the help of PT) an elderly gentleman back on his feet after a major fall. This job is not for everyone, but I couldn't have chosen a better one.
