So for the past year or so, I've been trying to figure out what it is I want to do for the rest of my life. I've always known that I wanted to be a nurse, who works with babies, but there are so many different kinds in that field, midwife, labor and delivery, nursery, etc. I've always wanted to do whatever one would allow me to make a real difference and be able to help people. After months of back and forth, I've finally figured it out. Neo-natal nurses work with babies who were born prematurely. Normally the thought of holding such a precious delicate life in my hands would terrify me, one mistake and that little one who hasn't even begun their life, could lose it, but the ability to be able to give that child their life back, and give them a real fighting chance, is so amazing. My sister in law, Kristin, works in the NICU at IHC and a part of me always knew that that would be what I would want to do too. My decision became solidified when I stumbled upon this video, it is truly amazing! It shows what that kind of job is all about, and how remarkable NICU nurses are. Ever since I"ve made my decision, I've been doing everything possible to reach my goal, I enrolled in the MATC program, so I'll have my CNA before the school year is out. If everything goes according to plan, I'll go to UVU and enter into their nursing program, and graduate with my BSN. My ultimate goal right now is to work in the NICU at IHC. Alyssa is still debating between labor and delivery and NICU, but either way, we'll be going to UVU together and be in the program together, and both of us want to work at IHC, so working with my best friend is a definite plus!
