Write 100-150 words.

I want to be a nurse because I have always enjoyed taking care of others and making a positive impact on their lives. The desire to help people in need has always been rooted in me, but I really only got the confirmation during my first experience in hospital, where I realized that nursing was my true vocation and that was what I wanted to do in life.

I decided to enroll in nursing at the last moment because I was undecided with other faculties such as obstetrics or speech therapy that have both in common in order to help others; then when I discovered that there was the possibility of choosing "pediatric nursing" instead of "general nursing" I immediately chose it without even thinking twice, because I always dreamed of doing a job that included children.

I had a personal experience with a family member who got sick, and seeing the compassionate care provided by the nurses really inspired me. Their dedication, empathy, and ability to make a difference left a lasting impression on me.

Scene: A little girl named Alice Giordani and her father Filippo Giordani show up at the emergency room of the pediatric hospital Bambino Gesù in Rome for a strange pain in the abdomen.

Actors:

Dr. Mario Ferretti

Nurse Sara Rossi

Patient Alice Giordani with her dad Filippo Giordani

[Nurse Sara Rossi]: “Dr. Ferretti we have a new patient, Alice 10 years old, complains of severe pain in the abdomen. I visited her and collected all the necessary information and assigned her the code blue”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: “Thank you Sara, I go immediately to visit her"

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: (Dr. Ferretti goes to Alice) “Hello Sara, how are you? Tell me where you have pain and what you feel.

[Patient Alice]: “Hello Doctor, I’m not very well, I have a lot of pain in the upper abdomen, like cramps and I can’t stand straight with my back but if I’m bent with my back it hurts less”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: “We’ll get an X-ray to make sure everything’s okay”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: (after half a hour he received the result of the x-ray) “Mrs. Giordani from the X-ray is everything according to the norm”

[Filippo Giordani]: “I’m happy to hear this, but then why is Sara in so much pain?”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: “we’re trying to figure it out, so now we’re going to do blood tests”

[Nurse Sara Rossi]: “Come on Sara, sit down and be quiet, I’ll be quick and you’ll feel just a pinch”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: (after a while the doctor receives the results of blood tests) “From the results of the blood tests is all in order. Mrs. Giordani, how is Sara eating lately? Do you often eat fried or fatty food?”

[Filippo Giordani]: “It happened lately that Sara ate Mc. Donald’s more than usual”

[Dr. Mario Ferretti]: “Most likely it’s the wrong diet Sara’s had lately. Being young, all this fat and fried food will have irritated the stomach, causing these cramps. I give her these pills that are gastro-protectors, and she has to take one tablet a day before breakfast. And of course follow a light diet without abusing fatty and fried foods”

[Filippo Giordani]: “Thanks Dr. Ferretti we will definitely be more careful to what he eats Sara”

During the study of nursing all students have the opportunity to have practical experience in the hospital and personally I really find it a beautiful and stimulating thing and sometimes it also makes you understand that, maybe, it is not the right path for you. My first experience in hospital was in the cardiology department in the pediatric hospital Bambino Gesù; I was excited and a bit nervous as it was my first time working in a healthcare setting. On my first day, I was assigned to a nurse who had extensive experience in cardiology. She introduced herself and made me feel comfortable right away. She explained that the cardiology department mainly focused on the care of patients with heart-related conditions. During the day I was told all the things that are done daily in this department and how, in such a department, it is essential to monitor vital signs, pressure and oxygen saturation. One annoying thing I had to get used to was the beeping of monitors or various pumps or the heart of Berlin playing continuously and honestly many days, after the shift, I had a great headache but with time you get used to it. The more days passed and the more I became "autonomous" in doing things and the more I understood how much I liked this job.

Throughout my time in the cardiology department, I had the opportunity to interact with patients and their families. I witnessed the importance of providing emotional support and reassurance to patients who were anxious about their heart conditions. Overall, my first experience in the cardiology department as a nursing student was incredibly extraordinary, it also ignited my passion for cardiology and affirmed my choice to pursue a career in nursing.

“The Good Doctor" is a medical drama series that revolves around the story of Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young autistic surgeon with savant syndrome. The series talks about the doctor Shaun who arrived in this new hospital and is greeted by the prejudices of colleagues, a bit skeptical of the hospital’s decision to hire an autistic doctor. The series, therefore, deals with important and current topics such as prejudice, empathy, acceptance and determination, as that of Shaun who despite all the difficulties, was able to demonstrate the excellent doctor who was.
