Mom: A Nurse

My mom is a nurse who works at the Atlantic City Medical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. To be more precise, she is an operating room nurse, which i think is the most difficult out of all the jobs that nurses are eligible to have. My mom helps doctors with operations and she is one of the head leaders to operate the new DaVinci surgery system. I admire my mom for what she does and she is a very hard worker. In regards to whether or not a career becomes a part of a persons identity or not, I feel that it depends on the amount of time you have had that career. It also depends on the person and whether they like their job or not. Overall i feel that it does become a part of a person's identity. It's your job and people will associate you with your career. With my mom I feel that her occupation somewhat has become part of her identity. She's been a nurse since the 1980's and she's worked very hard to be where she is at right now.  Many people know that she is a nurse and people assume she's a nurse because she is Filipino. She uses a lot of her skills to heal our family and she uses things from her career in her everyday life.
