My area of study is in nursing because my goal is to be a Nurse Practitioner. Being a nurse requires to have outstanding abilities in math and science. Nurses are also logical thinkers and they have wonderful communication skills. During my college career, I will have to participate in labs and have a required amount of clinical hours. In order to become a Nurse Practitioner, I will need a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation certification. My classes of interest are Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and a lot of math classes. My professional goal is to attend Winona State University, to become a Nurse Practitioner. By attending Winona State University, I will receive the training that I will need to become a …show more content…
I also helped set up for the summer concerts in the park. Without donations, the community would be unable to attend free concerts in the park and spend time with their family. This activity also has a positive impact on the community because it gives local musicians the opportunity to perform and to get recognized. I am a third-year member of the National Honor Society. For the past two years, my high school's National Honor Society chapter and I have made Valentine’s cards for the local nursing home. I enjoy being a member of the National Honor Society because it inspired me to volunteer in the community and to be a positive role model. For the past three years, I have been a member of the Future Business Leaders of America. I enjoy being apart of this organization because each year we organize a Splash Against Cancer event to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The Slash Against Cancer is a water balloon fight for the high school students. The students are divided into groups and the winning team gets to compete with the teachers. Being an Art Club member has inspired me to volunteer in the community. For many years, I help decorate Christmas ornaments for the city hall’s. Then the city hall sells each of the ornaments for one dollar. As a result, the proceeds help the Art Club continue to promote art throughout the
“Nurses don’t wait until October to celebrate Make a Difference Day — they make a difference every day”, explains an unknown author. My main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an innate desire to help people and care for them in times of need. I am also a person who thrives on being challenged and I always have new goals to achieve, so nursing suits me as few other careers offer as much diversity and learning opportunities so, attending Virginia Commonwealth University is something that has been my desire for the longest. The intentions that I have for when I become a nurse practitioner are to aid and care for the sick, as well as I am able but also to assist doctors and staff as well as I am capable.
I have served in the service committee at Collin College in Frisco. Our chapter has done many fundraising and fellowship events for students within Collin College and with other colleges in Dallas/Fort-worth area. We are currently working on a project called Miracle Network Dance Marathon. It is a fundraising event for the kids at Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in Dallas. With the mission “dance for those who can’t,” participants stand or dance to music constantly for a period of time. Our first Dance Marathon will be on December 2nd. In addition, I have been volunteering at Frisco Family Service, Parr Library, and many other one-time events such as BT5K of American Brain Tumor Association’s.
When I am older I would love to be a Nurse Practitioner, I enjoy helping people when they are sick and taking care of them. Another reason I want to be a Nurse Practitioner is because my sister is also a Nurse Practitioner.
When I reached high school I developed an Improv group by the name of The Stray Dogs in order to raise money for our hometown non-kill animal shelter, Lake County Animal Shelter. The shelter had recently made a statement how they were low on funds and unable to take in any more animals due to their supplies were almost nonexistent. Through putting on Improv shows a few peers and I were able to raise over $8,000 dollars and scout countless volunteers for the shelter throughout the course of four years. All of the money we made throughout doing four years worth of shows went directly to the shelter in order to empower, support, and strengthen the wellbeing of the animals and
I applied to become the President of one of our school's club, FCCLA (Family, Career, Community, Leaders of America) and I ended up being the co-President with another fellow student. FCCLA has a popular community service event called, Taste of Chelan Restaurant Walk. The objective of the event is to help local business in our small town promote their restaurant and one of their dishes for tourists who come in for this event and locals who participate. I have done this event for about three years now, every time I participate I end up meeting different types of people. This event helps our community by prompting business during the slower times like Fall and Winter, and I am a proud active member of FCCLA that has helped this event.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have volunteered at the elementary school. It opened my eyes to a few of the problems in our communities. I was able to make others aware of those problems through volunteering and being proactive. I am going to continue with the program for as long as I am able to do so. If only we had millions of these programs across the globe, many other children would be able to benefit and develop the skills to succeed educationally.
I have tried to make both my school and my community a better place. I participate in a few group that try and help to better the community. First off, I am in National Honors Society. I volunteer with group activities and other volunteering opportunities such as unpaid elementary math tutoring. Second, I am almost finished my Eagle Scout Project, and this requires a lasting impression on your community. My project is about music and its effect on the elderly, and relating it to memory disorders, in hopes of improving their way of life. Third, most of my volunteering in the community is independent of an organization. I volunteer my violin skills to a group in need or a couple who does not have the money to pay some musicians. I donate my time
I want to be a nurse practitioner. I would like to be a nurse practitioner because, I could help people and I. I think when I am will still want to be a nurse. I want to go to college when I am older. I want people to smile because I helped them or their member in some way.
I am currently a junior Psychology major with minors in Sociology and Human Development. Additionally, I am taking prerequisite courses in order to apply for an Accelerated Bachelor’s in Nursing Program. My ultimate life goal is to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner or a Neonatal/Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. These goals are manifested in the classes I am taking, as well as the real world experience I am gaining.
I want to be a nurse, specifically a nurse practitioner. I have always been fascinated with the medical field and see a bright future in it for me. I have the opportunity of meeting new people every day with a variety of personalities. There is always something new to discover in this field. A nurse practitioner's job is to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. They also prescribe medicine and run physical exams. I am highly interested in pursuing the career of a nurse practitioner because the healthcare field is always in need for medical professionals, it pays well, and I am helping people at the same time.
With the year, soon to be closing to an end, I could not help but stop to reflect on past events where I gave back to the community that has given me so much. In between the summer of leaving Year 1 and entering Year 2, I got in contact with Sanders Memorial Elementary School, my previous elementary school, asking if I could come over a few days a week to volunteer. My request thrilled them because with the 2017-2018 school year quickly coming, there was a lot to get done in a limited amount of time, and they could use all the help they could get. Shortly beforehand, I also got in contact with my close friend to see if she would be interested in volunteering with me. She also replied with a yes, and little did I know, we got a lot more done together than I could ever do alone.
Here in our area, a handful of volunteers at Nanoose Community Services (NCS) do exactly that: they help where needed. NCS operates charitable food, education, and emergency programs with funds raised locally through sponsorship, donations and their annual Christmas Elf Program.
I can also make a difference in the community where I live. Last year my class held a car wash to raise money for the Animal Shelter. We went to visit the dogs there and I realized that the money we raised made a difference for some of them.
Being involved in the Charity Club at my school has enabled me to do my share regarding community service. In the Charity Club we organize meetings where we come up with different projects , and then we find ways to collect money and clothes for families in need.Just recently we did this project called MAAT, and the purpose of this project was to help the poor families in Pristina and grow the sense of humanism and volunteerism among the youth. During New Year’s day along side Red Cross we shipped food and clothes for families in the region. It was honestly the best feeling ever, seeing the smiles in their faces when they saw the presents we had for them, was priceless.
Everybody knows what a nurse is, but not everybody knows what a nurse does, or what it takes to be a nurse. Nursing goes far beyond just taking vital signs, doing patient assessments, and saying “The doctor will be with you shortly.” Nursing is not for the faint of heart. One cannot wake up one day, and decide, “I think I’ll be a nurse!” One must be driven, motivated, and passionate about caring for others. The numerous requirements, tasks, and benefits are all things to consider when thinking about becoming a nurse.
