A major life event that started me to pursue an education in nursing was my time in basic training. The most life changing event during my induction into the army at ft. Jackson before starting basic training was accepting Christ as my personal lord and savior. When I decided to go into the Army 4 years out of high school I was a student firefighter E.M.T. working towards my paramedic, incidents at the Dept. I worked at both before and after some traumatic emergency responses actually turned me away from practicing any sort of medicine and causing me to seek the military for a new career or to pay for me to go back to school for another career if the military wasn’t my thing. During Basic training as stated above I was already a licensed E.M.T. …show more content…
This involved diagnosing and correcting issues as they occurred with the equipment provided requiring an ever expanding knowledge base and mastery in practicing that knowledge and training others to proficiency with equipment provided to them. During this time my desire to work in medicine didn’t dwindle and actually grew. At my first duty station a fellow 25U was a Registered Nurse before joining the Army to follow her husband with a career during his career. She helped me in looking at the various options in working in health care as well as different medical periodicals and journals worth reading, showing me the benefits to becoming a R.N. and career options that are possible by going R.N.; instead of going paramedic or the popular per-medicine degree that I was considering. At my second duty station was by far the most difficult assignment both in personal career development and spiritually taxing which was the most taxing for me. I served in the Oregon National Guard as a full time signal support to train up a unit for deployment to Afghanistan.
Nursing came in a round-about way for me. I had little direction when I graduated high school and had already disregarded the nursing field due to an incident with a family member (who was a nurse) that had left a negative impression about the nursing field on me. I entered college planning on a pre-med or biology major. I had built up a vision of college being different- scholarly, intellectual, advanced- different somehow than school before. I soon was disillusioned. My first biology course was a bitter disappointment and I turned away from any thoughts of a medical/health related career altogether.
Bright, flashing red and white lights and sirens racing down the road has been my entire life the past few years. Racing to the hospital in an ambulance volunteering to take care of people in need, doing the best I can to help them is the greatest gift I have received in life. Growing up I always wanted to start a career in nursing, more specifically, a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit. However, I started college and started my prerequisites towards a nursing degree and I realized nursing might not be the best health care career for me. I also went to school and became a certified nursing assistant while deciding what career path to take. After working in a retirement community for a few months I had definitely decided nursing was not in my future. After researching a few careers and talking to multiple health care professionals, I automatically knew choosing a career in radiography was my new plan. A radiologic technologist has one of the most important jobs in the health care setting because they produce images that help diagnose injuries
I started my Nursing career in India and then I came to the United States and became an RN. I entered Nursing with the thinking that Nursing is a profession that will always allow me to have a job and all my patients will get better. However, from my experiences I understood that Nursing is more than just giving medications, and it requires clinical competence, cultural sensitivity, ethics, caring for others, and life-long learning about others and the evolving field of medicine. Florence Nightingale once said:
Life Transitions Counseling: Are You Struggling to Adjust to Major Life Changes? Have you recently experienced the death or deteriorating health of a loved one? Do you feel stuck, confused, and overwhelmed with grief? Have your children recently moved out or gone away to college, leaving you and your spouse alone?
My quest of becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) actually began in the year 2000 while I was a Emergency Medical Technician in the military. With my wife 's and military colleagues ' encouragement, I decided to go back to school to become an RN. I took and completed all my general education requirements for the Associate Degree in Nursing and finally became a nursing student in the Fall of 2001 with intentions to obtain my BSN soon after that. A few weeks after starting the ADN program, the terrible events of 9/11 occurred, setting my military career into high gear by getting promoted through the ranks along with the additional responsibilities. I welcomed the military promotions as a way to supplement my family income while I attended nursing school. Soon after graduating from the ADN program in the Spring of 2003, I became active with the military for about 8 months thus putting my quest for the BSN on hold. In January 2004, I was hired and started working The Queen 's Medical Center (QMC) in January 2004. Two months after completing my new hire orientation, I was recalled to military active duty for 21 months for deployment to the Middle East in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Soon after returning from deployment, I resumed my job at QMC. The military deployment placed our family in a great financial burden, which took us several years to recover from, thus my quest for the BSN was again put on hold.

I am very motivated to study and practice medicine with the U.S military medical corps and/ or the U.S Public Health Service. The military has provided me with some of my early exposure to medicine.

February 11th, 1996, in the small town of Spencer, West Virginia, a baby girl was brought into this world; Little did she know how cruel and vindictive this world truly is. Twenty-years later, here I am still trying to understand my place. I was born into a rather large family (counting aunts, uncles, cousins, & just about everyone). Throughout my childhood, all the way up to my junior year of high school, my family moved just about every year. Over the next few years I really got into history and government, only then did I look back at all of the life changing events in my lifetime and truly understand what happened.
I do not think that everyone fits in one hundred percent of the time. I think there are times that we all feel out of the loop, and there are times when we feel like we do not belong. Whether we like it or not, those moments can change us and shape us. I have had times like this in my life too. One of these instances that is still affecting me to this very day has become even more prevalent in the past few months. This experience I am having has changed the way I think, act, and feel about the world surrounding me.
