These nurses can work in many different fields, such as trauma and pediatrics. Nurses who work in a base clinic aid families that have a member in the military. They can also be stationed to work in combat and provide first aid to wounded soldiers. What you do can be determined by what you choose to specialize in.

Education:
The first step in becoming a military nurse is being a US Citizen. Next you need to obtain a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in nursing. Then you must attend programs that teach you what to do on the job. After that other programs may be required. After that you need to become a registered nurse by passing the National Council Licensure Examination for RNs. Once you have passed the exam you must obtain your license.

Demand for this career:
The demand for a registered nurse is fairly high. The more people join the army means that there is more help that must be required for these veterans.

By becoming a military nurse I am also serving my country while not having my life at risk. Also as a military nurse I can do something I love doing while also being highly rewarded. My passion is helping people in need. When I help other people not only do they feel good but I feel good because I know I made a huge difference in many people’s lives.

Phillip Riggs’ Four Success Tips

1. Work Hard
2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.
3. Don't chase after money
4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you.

Reflection:
Mr.Riggs has just gave us the greatest keys to success anyone has ever given. The first onis to work hard. Not everything in life will be easy but you have to be the one that makes them easy on you by working hard. Not great in life was got easily by doing nothing, it all came from sacrifices and work. His second tip is to follow your passion. Again this is a great key to success because there is no point in wasting your life doing something you hate. If you do things you hate then you will not try very hard and a bad reputation will be created on you. His third tip is to not chase after money. In my opinion this is the best tip anyone can ever give. When instead you chase after doing what you love money will be only a cause to your sadness. Life will be better off on yourself if you do what you love because then money will follow soon after. Deep down we all know money is the root of our chaos and sadness. By doing what you love your are putting your all into it which will make it turn out great. Lastly he said that you should serve others. When you serve others they will serve you back. By helping others you will automatically be in their minds when an opportunity comes their way. Putting others needs ahead of yours is like assuring that they will do the exact same. Serving others brings happiness and prosperity in your life. An example of this is when you help someone that is in times of need them they will be forever grateful and will want to do whatever they can to make you happy.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values.”

Dennis Prager

Reflection:

What Mr.Prager is trying to display is that good values will take you anywhere and everywhere you want to go. Without good values you will get nowhere in like no matter how talented you are. However if you have good values but you are not talented in any way it will not matter because you have good values. Values are what you find are most important. If you have good values then you are a person of good. Even though everyday people fight with their values and feelings. The hardest choice to make is usually the best choice to make. Values are the most important part of any person. We all have values. Even though our values may not always be good there is time to change our values. The only time you should keep your values is when they are good.

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

Theodore Roosevelt

Reflection:
By this statement Mr.Roosevelt means that when you have a hard time choosing the decision you should always make is the right one. No decision that is right will be easy to make. You know a decision is right because it is hard to complete. A right decision should be made out of effort. We have all came to the point in our lives where we have to decide on doing what we really want or doing what we truly know is right. You should do what is right because if you do otherwise you will feel guilty for it and regret the decision you make. An example of this would be if  you find an expensive phone without a passcode but you know who it belongs to. You should return it because if you do not you will have a guilty conscious for the rest of your life. If you know something isn’t right then just don’t do it. It's better to wait then go through a lot of pain your whole life. Another example would be if you have to decide on studying for an important test or going out to have a fun time. It is better to stay home and study because you will gain nothing if you go out. When you make the right choice you will be rewarded with a higher prize than anything you can possibly think of. Peace of mind is the greatest reward. Nothing is gained for owing any expensive object.

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

Wilford Woodford

Reflection:
What Mr.Woodford is trying to say that when you do what’s wrong you only go backward and down. No progress is done. Only by learning from people’s mistakes is when you are better off because you know what not to do and can only go up. Another personal quote from that means the same thing is ‘The only thing you gain from doing what’s wrong is the knowledge of what’s right. ‘ This means that you can only learn from your mistakes. Even though you only gain knowledge it's the most powerful thing you can learn and have. An example of this statement would be if you decide to start doing drugs. You can not gain higher in life because you will feel guilt for your actions and wish you can take them back. Another example would be if you cheat on any exam. The only thing you will gain is a bad mark on your permanent record. Even though you get a good score now it will not be worth all the hassle in the future. Something we should all remember before making a decision would be that we can never take back what we say or do no matter how much regret we have. We should always think before we speak.

“It’s A GREAT MOMENT when someone has character to step up and do the right thing at the right time.”

Pam Knox

Head Softball Coach Western Oregon

Reflection:
This quote shows us that the most important thing we can do in life is the right thing. No matter how great something might make us feel if it is wrong it is not right. When you win it doesn’t matter how good it makes you feel, all that matters is that it's right. An example of this is if you win the spelling bee but you cheated. This is not right because you won the wrong way. Another example of this is if you are a professional player but you got there by doing drugs. This is neither right because you got help from an outside force beside yourself. However when you speak up for doing something good, this moment is the best of all time. An example of this is if you speak up for donating money to a family who desperately needed it.

Student Success Statement

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another I might be able to escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never cross it. Can I get out of that circle? No, never! I’d die first.”

Karl G. Maeser

Reflection:
This statement tells us that you can escape any restriction or punishment, but you can not escape your word. Your word is the most powerful thing in this world. When you promise something you must go through with it and never do otherwise. If you get in any punishment you will eventually escape and blow it away. However if you give someone your word there is no way out of that. Your word is something you should always strive to follow. If you can not trust your own word what makes you think other people will believe it as well.n By giving someone your word there is no loop hole around it. That's why it is important to think about what you say before it comes out of your mouth. When you do not follow your word you will feel guilty and lose all respect and trust that people have on you. An example of this statement is if you promise your parents to stay home and study for finals a whole month and not go out. By following your word you will gain more respect, trust, and freedom from your parents as well as achieve greatness because you will most definitely score well. When you follow your word good things will come your way that will make you overjoyed. However an example of not following your word is if you promise your parents you will not lay a finger on alcohol until you are no longer a minor but decide to go against your word. All freedom will be striped from you and your parents will no longer believe your word. When you break a promise no good will come from it. Only bad that will make you feel guilty and regret your decision for the rest of your life. Once something is broken it can never be truly repaired. By breaking a promise people will never look at you the same way again.
