~ My car would be a 2018 Nissan Versa Note
~ It costs $15,600 and $345 per month

~ It also had decent mileage so that's a plus

~ It’s only a one bedroom condo so I’m not paying for anything I won’t be using which is important to me. It also has ac and heating which is important to me because I want to be able to adjust it whenever I might want

~ My home would be a condo in Glenview Illinois
~ It costs $133,500 and the monthly payment is $974
~ I selected a condo because a house would have unused space like a backyard and stuff I wouldn't really need or use.
~ I selected a place in Glenview because I want to stay in Illinois to be close to family but not like still in the same town as them

~ I am a very smart and determined person and there's a lot of work that goes into this profession that I would be ready to handle
~ I am also very compassionate and good at talking with people, which would help when talking to patients or families
~ Another important thing is organization and I am very organized when it comes to work and papers which would come in handy when dealing with files and patient records
~ This job appeals to me because it involves lots of working with others and I love communicating with other people and working with others in general
~ I chose this career for myself when I found out all the details about it, it was more of a process of elimination than anything else

# data[].attributes.body
~ Yes I did have enough money to get the home and car I wanted without having to do anything differently
~ Main pros:  working with people, having the opportunity to help others, good pay
~ Main cons:  lots of schooling and exams, could get really hard at times, unpredictable hours
~ If I change my mind I could also be a general nurse practitioner, clinical researcher, or an adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner

# data[].attributes.body
~  I would choose scenario B because if I have a family or not I still need enough money to keep me on my feet, I’d rather have only one job that I might not really enjoy but keeps me on my feet, than like two or three jobs just to have a home car and food.

~ Throughout this webquest I've learned that I care a lot about family and friends and having other people there for me if I ever need it
~ In the future I will need to improve my test taking skills and my studying skills. If I go into a medical field I will have to pass a lot of tests and I will need to study a lot and I never study and I’m not the best at taking tests either.
