The first time I worked in an emergency room (worked in admissions), I was overcome with this feeling that I wanted to do more than just register the patient or do the insurance side of it all.  For months all I could think about was that I wanted to follow in my aunt and cousins footsteps and become a nurse.  I love people, especially when it involves helping others and what better way to do that than to provide care and compassion when they need it most.  Even now, years later, I've often considered going back to school and have looked into online nursing degree programs.  If it were not for my insane passion to capture and create, I think I would dive in face first this very second.  My aunt has been head of a busy emergency room for the last eight years and my cousin, her daughter, has been a nurse providing "at home" nursing for about the same.  I have been lucky enough to watch them both working in action and while emergency rooms may not seem like something most people would do, I have experienced it to a degree and the adrenaline rush would keep me going.

I am the type of person who likes to stay busy and I feel like nursing, depending on where I might be working, would provide that type of steady pace for me. 

For those who have already taken the leap and are already practicing nursing, have you ever thought of going a step further and getting your masters?  Did you know that you could do this via The University of Phoenix RN?  Not only can you do that but you can also do this in the comfort of your own home, through their online courses.
