__Nursing__

First I'm going to tell you what types of nurses there are and how much money they make. So there is the LPN nurse and they make about 32,030 dollars each year. and there is another type of nurse and it is the RN nurse and RN stands for registered nurse, and they make about 62,450 dollars each year so as you can see RN nurses make much more money than LPN nurses. I would rather be an RN nurse because they make more money (62,450 dollars) and I think it would be more fun because a lot of people would d oit also LPN nurses as well. But if I could I would be both LPN and RN nurses.

Next I'm going to talk about how to prepare to be a doctor and how to become a nurse. OK so first i ttakes 2-4 years of collage. what you need to know to be a nurse is english, algebra, biology, and phisology. It takes alot to be a nurse.You also need to be flexible and no not like gymnastics, you need to fit time into your work schedules, and also you need to have humor.And if you want to be a doctor, well you can become a doctor by being a nurse too. So, I would be intrested in doing this because a lot of people say that I'm good at doing these things ( the English, algebra and so on).

Now I'm going to talk about how to calm a patient. So, when you have a patient you need to humor them by trying to make them smile and also if they are in a bad mood or something like that, also you always need to be positive like ya you can do this and not something like ooohhh that sounds terrible I don't think you can do this, you also need to always keep a smile on your faceand keep talking to the patient about excited, happy, good things not gloomy, sad and so on.

If you have ever been to the MAC Center Career Fair and you were in the nursing event, you would learn a lot of stuff about nursing and you would even get to use some of this gel type stuff, and you rub it on your hands and you put your hands under this special light and it shows how much germs are on your hands some people had a lot of germs and some people not so many and there was this one girl who did'nt even have any germs on her hands. It's pretty cool if you tried it out. Next the people who were at the station wrapped everyone's arms in this cloth and it felt wierd and that's what it would feel like if you had a broken arm.( Which I have had a broken arm before and it hurts).

Well that's it for today. The MAC Center taught me a lot of stuff about nursing and I hope to be a nurse one day because it would be really fun and interesting. If you have ever been to the MAC Center you would learn a lot about a certain career just like I learned a lot about nursing.
