Dreams Of Being A Nurse

What I want to do when I get older

Dreams Of Being A Nurse
udemy

When my head hits the pillow, I know what my dream is going to be about already. My eyes shut, my breathing evens and my temperature drops as I am transported into a hospital. Not just any hospital, but Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. This hospital may not sound familiar to you, but I could recognize the name anywhere. I have, and always will be a Grey’s Anatomy fan. Mock all you want, but this show is life changing.

I wander around the hospital wearing sneakers and scrubs. Something cold touches my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. I look and see a stethoscope hanging there loosely. All of a sudden, Meredith Grey and Dr. Weber, both surgeons, run by, waving for me to come along. I cannot help but be intrigued on what may be happening, so I sprint for them, catching up in no time.

Dr. Weber shoves a door open to find dozens of people milling around, trying to save a man who has gone into cardiac arrest. Meredith tells everyone to move aside so they can take him to the operating room. I suddenly stop in my tracks blocking the door. Everyone starts screaming and trying to push me out of the way, but I do not move. I feel as if something is wrong and start to remember my tenth grade health class. We learned how to use AEDs.

“STOP!” I scream as I realize what I have to do. I quickly grab the AED in the corner of the room, put the electrode pads on the man’s chest and try to shock the life back into him. Everyone in the room stands still, barely breathing. “Beep. Beep. Beep.” Everyone began breathing normally again as his heartbeat returned to the monitor.

I cannot explain what it feels like to save someone’s life. I have never done it before, but if it is like anything my dream, I know I want to feel that again. The dream keeps recurring because I want to keep reliving moments in the hospital. I know Grey’s Anatomy is not a real hospital, but I also know that doctors, nurses and surgeons make a bigger difference in the world than most people will ever know. The dedication the people pursing these health professions gives them the deserving award of making the world go round and I want to be apart of that; in my dreams and in reality.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
