what ’ s next
“ I would like to become a labor and delivery nurse . I feel that nursing is the most rewarding job ever because I would be there to not only witness , but also take part in , such a miraculous event . The thought of helping deliver precious babies gives me genuine excitement ! I am passionate about bringing new lives into the world . ”
PG ( parental guidance ) rating
“ My family has supported my goals of becoming a nurse by helping me find opportunities to get experience . For example , I told my mom that I was interested in labor and delivery , so she contacted the hospital to see if I could shadow a nurse on that floor . I was able to do so and gained valuable insight into what those nurses do . My parents also made sure I was able to participate as a teen volunteer at Prattville Hospital .” parents ’ perspective
Amanda and Danyail share , “ We admire Bethany ’ s ability to stand firm in her beliefs . If she believes something should happen a certain way , it ’ s going to be tough to convince her otherwise . She also holds her friends accountable . You don ’ t see that too often with teenagers .”
parent-to-parent
“ Although kids may change their minds ( several times ) about their career goals , just be there to support them and provide any additional resources they might need .”
