student profiles Why I Became

A NURSE

By: Aerial Cowles, ASN student

I’ve always known that I wanted to work in the medical field. When I first started started college, I thought I wanted to be a psychologist. That quickly got shot down and I changed my major to pre-med. At that point I had decided to become a doctor.

My biggest inspiration stemmed from my firsthand experiences with doctors. Particularly, those who left me and my mother feeling unheard and dismissed, without the help we needed. I wanted to change that. I wanted to become the doctor we never had, and make sure no one had to go through what we did. I wanted to help each patient feel cared for, heard and understood.

A major life event would lead to another change in my long-term goals. One morning in April of 2020, a 7mm aneurysm ruptured in my brain, followed by a stroke. This occurred while I was alone in my Joplin apartment and on a video call with my best friend. She noticed what was happening and called my mom, who then called 911. Ambulances arrived about 20 minutes later and I was taken to Freeman Hospital. Once they found out what was wrong with me, I was airlifted to the closest neurosurgeon—Cox South in Springfield.

I spent almost a month in the hospital. I tried to keep a positive attitude for the most part, but it was hard because COVID-19 regulations hindered any visitors. The main things on my mind were getting back to work and school. I was on track to graduate with my pre-med bachelor’s degree in May, which was only a few weeks away. I shared this with the nurses and I’m glad I did, as our mutual passion for health care led to many visits and conversations. There were days when I doubted I would get better and questioned if life would return to normal, but when these nurses took time to talk to me and keep me in the loop, it gave me hope. I loved every one of my nurses. There were even a few times I felt downright pampered because I was being taken care of so well.

THIS is why I chose nursing and THIS is why I chose Cox College. I want to be like the nurses I had at Cox South. I understand not all of the nurses were trained through Cox College, but I love the CoxHealth system so I want to support it however I can. I want to be a nurse because they interact with patients every day and have the best ability to ensure patients receive the utmost
