My motivations for selectingons the nursing profession

In a discussion of my personal motivations, I want to emphasize first, and the determining, principle[O18] for choosing nursing as a career. This principle was opportunity to study in Canada.[O19] After getting this chance, I started to search what it means to live and to work in Canada. , I reconsidered my personal qualities, interests, and aspirations and came up with the decision to try my best in the most appealing, in my view, profession of a health care worker.

What really attracts me in nursing is the face-to-face interaction. Nursing involves constant work with people, regardless of whether they are nurses or patients[O20] , each of whom has something to teach you from his[O21] life experience. Everyone requires a unique approach and tactic [O22] of communication, thus, interaction provides a space for self development and self education that can be used in the future to go beyond the standards in nursing practice [O23] and in day-to-day life.

I consider myself to be altruistic as I feel pleased from the knowledge that my deeds bore fruit to somebody else. Thus, the profession of nursing can bring me the felling feeling of significance to the community.

One more [O24] motive to for selecting nursing was a reluctance to sit in an office for the whole day bringing questionable, or at least indirect, benefits for society. From this perception, nursing can provide me with an ability to lead an active life, especially while helping people directly. Moreover, this profession requires not only thinking but also doing something with your hands, which I believe to be an important component of my future occupation.

Similarities and differences between my own and studied[O25] motivations

Comparing reasons for selecting nursing depicted in literature to described by [O26] myself, I observed next: altruistic intentions, professional and self-development, and support that comes from various directions are shared between research participants from studied articles and me. [O27] However, in contrast to guidanceeline teachers, discussed by McLaughlin et al. (2010), my guideline teacher presented the health care profession as highly respected around the world, which can come in handy at any point of life. And fFinally, the reason of for opting for nursing because of the chance to study in a foreign country was not outlined in any of articles used for this paper. Due to this, I consider my opportunity to get a nursing education in Canada as unique, which distinguishes me among other nursing program students. Foallowing my nursing passion, I am acquiring valuable life experience and an education which will accompany me all the time.

Conclusion

Present This paper helped me to conceptualize knowledge acquired from studied[O28] articles. Concepts consisteds of motivational factors for choosing of nursing that are divided into four categories: personal factors contributing to selection of health related professions, attracting professional traits of nursing, «third party» division, and life experience encouraging entering to nursing field. Examples of main factors from each category are desire to help and care, job security, developmental and financial interests, influence of others, and exposure to medical field or previous occupation (Newton et al., 2009, McLaughlin et al., 2010, Neilson & Mcnally, 2013). This paper also explains my personal reasons that prompted the selection of health care profession and, finally, compares motives described in studied articles to my own grounds for choosing nursing as a future career. nice
