Getting Acquainted

I'm so fascinated in others work ethics which makes me even more

determined to accomplishing my career goals as being a nurse.

Knowing that I will change one's life makes me feel so much better

as a person. For the past couple weeks, I have been doing a lot

of research on other peoples blogs which focus on nursing life

styles and peoples experiences.While doing my research, I came

across a very informative blog site called The Nursing Site Blog

which gives statistics on nurses around the world and how they

feel about their career and basically what they have to

go through every day. This blog also makes sure they have the

right education to educate their nursing students to be the best of

the best. It's never to late too get more education especially in the

field your trying to pursue. Another blog I came across in my

community which is called "Impact of Making an Impact" also

discussed her experiences as being an LPN nurse for some time

now and what she goes through with her patients.


Having the knowledge of knowing that the education is there for

you to get, makes knowing how easy your career can be if you put

your mind to it. Most people worry that it might be a struggle to

enroll back into a university or even a community college, but the

programs available for nursing students are always there and gives

many people the opportunity to makes their dreams to come true.

Thinking Critically ....

Even though I wasn't blogging last week, I would still like to talk

about my spring break even though I'm a bit late! For my spring

break, my close friends and I planned a big trip to Miami. Even

though it was the craziest spring break I have ever encountered, I

still had a blast. Starting with the first day we got there until the

last day something crazy happened but the trip was all worth it.

When we touched down, I noticed things around me for example

their jobs, what people looked like, the cars, etc. Getting picked

up from the airport was normal, but getting into a cab gave me a

complete different outlook on how the ethic of working in South

Beach was. The cab driver who picked us up not only drove a cab,

but was a woman. Huh? A woman is what I kept telling myself the

whole ride to the hotel. In Miami, I'm pretty sure it’s normal to

see a woman driving a cab, but if you see that in Virginia people

would think otherwise. I guess in order to survive in this world you

have to do what you have to do to get to where you want to go.

According to the article The Changing Face of Taxi and Limousine Drivers written by Schaller Consulting, says that

There's nothing wrong with having a career as a cab driver, but

seeing a woman behind the wheel shocked me. Not judging the

lady or anything like that, but I always had this thought in my

mind that only men can have that type of career but thinking that

would be sexes. Many women are capable of doing anything a

man can as long as she puts her mind to it no matter what type of

career it is. Men are not superior over woman and I hate the fact a

lot of men now days have that mentality. But to each is own.

When most woman talk about the career choice they want to

purse, they don’t automatically wish to be a cab driver I guess it’s

some type of adrenalin rush because woman want to be

considered equal to mean when it comes to having the same job

as them. For example you would typical see a woman doing what

she desires like sewing, fashion etc. Men typically pick a career

with sports, ITE, etc. But now in this new ear, your starting to see a

a lot of woman take over.

as the number of drivers has increased, the composition of the

driver work force has changed. In 2000, 38 percent of taxi/limo

drivers were immigrants, some were females and there was an

increase from 27 percent in 1990 and 8 percent in 1970. Taxi/limo

driving now has the third-highest percentage of immigrants, behind

only tailors and farm laborers, among occupations with at least

50,000 workers in the U.S.
