Dream job and company

At the present, it is more than 80% that I want to become a nurse. Therefore, I regard it as my dream job. There are many types of nurse: Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), Licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) which is equivalent to LPNs, Registered nurses (RNs), Advanced practice nurses (APNs), Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNPs). It is up to you to choose which type of nurse you want to become. Moreover, you can choose which field to be in: dentistry, obstertric, otolaryngology, orthopaedics, etc. It is really flexible. The time of training is from eighteen months to more than 4 years in theory. It is in theory because it might take longer than it is planed to finish the major. However, you can work in a hospital while you are still studying to get the license.

If I became a nurse, I would choose El Camino Hospital to work for because it is my aunt's first choice, too. The hospital is at 2500 Grant Road, Mountain View, CA 94040. It had its very first patient in September 1, 1961. Up till now, it becomes top 5% of all hospitals in the country, top hospital of California and receives five-star HealthGrades for women's health services. This hospital has comprehensive health care organization, including cardiac care, dialysis, cancer care, maternal child health services, orthopedics, neurosurgery and behavioral health.
