This movie was a great reminder of inspiration and even emotion of what being a nurse means to me. Listening to these nurses talk about some of their experiences during work and the lives they touched and changed throughout the process is one of the main reasons I went into this profession. I grew up loving the feeling of helping others and being there to listen to someone. As rewarding as it is knowing I will get to spend my days at wok being the helping hand to someone else can get blinded by the stress of school. Watching this movie was a huge reminder of why I am where I am and knowing that it will all be worth it the moment I can make my first patients day a little better.

One story that stood out to me was the oncology nurse who figured out one of her patients wasn’t doing so well and took the time out of her shift to sit with him and listen. Without realizing in the moment she was going to change his life for the better she did. I have had some of my own experiences with health care workers who changed my life for the better and helped shift me to the direction of my future career. It resonated with me watching her patient become an advocate for other patients diagnosed with HIV and standing up for those who feel oppressed. This movie not only opened my eyes to my goal again but even ignited my emotions. I am looking forward to being In some of those positions the nurses shared and creating those connections that will live with me for the rest of my life.

In order to prepare for future interviews to set me apart from other applicants I will prioritze the goals I have for my future career and what I hope to gather form the interview. By setting aside what is important to me I will be able to focus on how I answer my questions and the questions I need to ask future employers. I want the interviewer to see me for who I am and not just another nursing student. I have a very strong personality that I want to shine through during my interview where my empathy and strong emotions I have for this future career can show the interviewer how important it is for me to make my dreams reality. I will be sure to advocate my strengths and how I overcame certain challenges during school and even before school. I want the interviewer to see my strength and differentiate me from other applicants. Moreover, I will be sure to mention the jobs, volunteer work, and education I took place in and how it shaped me into the worker I am today. I will make sure they know that each challenge I faced was overcome from communication, reaching out when I needed help, and making those changes needed to overcome hardships. Not only do I want to stand out during my interview one of the most important things for me is for the interviewer to have an accurate perspective on my character and who I am as a human in this society.
