My Career!!!!!!

2008-03-20T10:02:00.000-07:00

Have you dreamed of a job that involves changing someone's life everyday and helping other that need to be helped, well if you

have, the medical field is the right choice for you! That is what my plans are for my life until now, becoming a nurse is my goal,

and to achieve that goal thats why every day i stay after school mondays-thursday, from 4:30-5:30, to get my certification as a

nurses aide (CNA). This is one of the steps i have to take to become a nurse and hopefully later in life become a prenatal nurse.

Even though starting off asa nurses aide we do not end up making a lot of money, I'm not really in it for the money, its what we

have to do everyday what is life changing, and that to me is a good starting job. Nurses Aides here in Texas The average annually

income is around 36,000 and $15.00 an hour, good for a first job. Not to mention I speak to languages fluently that adds

more money hourly.

The maximum education you need to become a Nurses Aide is your high school degree and your certification that takes less

than a year to earn. Pretty easy right, but of course if you wish to continue on further and build up your carrier that will require

to go to college and further studies! Mrs.shirley my CNA teacher said that if we get a good job they are willing to pay for us to

continue learning and continue our education.

What I learned from the interview is how fun it is to work in this particular carrier and that its not even that hard if you decide

to move on up to a better career or one that has a better salary . These reasons I listed above are the reason why I want to

become a Nurses Aide first and then maybe work my career up to become a full RN (registered nurse).

NURSES ANNUAL INCOME!

2008-03-18T11:06:00.000-07:00

A registered nurse median hourly rate here in Texas is $25.00!
Here in Texas the annual income of a registered nurse is about $71,000 or more!
its not really about the money, its the fact that i like working with others and caring for
other people other than yourself!

My choices!!!!!!!!
