Choosing a career can be challenging, because there are so many career options, but overcoming the challenges of achieving those careers can be proven to be difficult sometimes. When I was a little girl, I use to play pretend doctor most of the time. I use to pretend giving injections to my little brothers and pretend to nurse them back to health. As I became older, I was very certain that I wanted to become a pediatrician doctor; however, once I enrolled myself into a Community College, my perspective changed. I learned that everything was not as simple as I thought. I became uncertain of the career I wanted to strive. However, I learned from some of my professors, my peers, and friends that sometimes there are careers that best suit us based …show more content…
There is so much studying, and much information that has to be absorbed, learned, and analyzed. The closer I become to achieving one of my goals, the further I feel from achieving it. All the work that has to be done can be very stressful. Even so, studying can be time consuming, which leaves me no time for work and spending time with my love ones. I can expect much stress in my future from the learning aspect of nursing, but I will cope with it as I have learned to do so presently. The support from my friends, family, and peers has given me the motivation to not give up on my passion. Even so, having a study group or tutoring helps with the studying process and learning. Often times, I workout for an hour to release some of my stress and working on the weekends is the only time I spend not studying. However, some challenges take time to manage and if we truly want something in life we work hard for …show more content…
I find myself to be very fortunate to have the opportunity to achieve a career of self-worth in nursing, which is a long process and takes hard work. The aspect of nursing that gives me the motivation to achieve it, are the values and beliefs. Throughout my childhood, I spend most of my time in a hospital. During those difficult moments, I experienced many positive encounters with many nurses. The career of nursing allows individuals the opportunity to find meaning in life by allowing them to devote their time to help others find their healing in a holistic manner. I will find my self-worth by caring for others and incorporating nursing as my calling. There are many different career options, but conquering the challenges of those careers can be
With many medical careers students often get confused on what they really want to study, I have faced this problem myself and I know is not that easy due too many choices. There are many options ranging from healthcare to medical jobs. I have thoughtfully chosen to enter the program for Medical Assistant (MA). Ever since I was a child, I’ve spent most of childhood years at the Hospital, I was diagnosed with a rare condition that had to be treated continuously, this meant that I had to be going to checkups every three months so I was close to doctors, surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologist, medical assistants, etc. I remember at first I was frightened just of the thought of going to the doctor but after a few visits I got used to. The doctors and nurses were nice and caring and made me feel comfortable that I end up enjoying my doctor’s visits every time. Since then I decided I wanted to work in the medical field, this is my goal since I can remember. I have always enjoyed helping people in any way I possibly can. I chose to be a Medical Assistant because I think is great way to start my medical career going and programs are practical and not long.
My interest in nursing is fairly new; I had not explored the potential that a nursing career can offer. I became familiar with nursing professionally after becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. While working with patients, side-by-side with nurses I became enamored with the potential of a nursing career. I now have a rewarding career working as a Medical-Surgical nurse on a Medical University Hospital floor that specializes in Transplant, Nephrology and Urology. Nursing encompasses the ideologies that fuel my passion, upon further research, and conversation with coworkers I realize my career goal of Family Nurse Practitioner; affording me the privilege to care for others by reaching out to various
I began my college career unsure of the path ahead of me. I knew I had a passion for medicine, however, I did not know which direction I would take. With the expansive amount of options offered within the fields of science and medicine, it was difficult to narrow down exactly what direction I wanted to take. I gained some clarity the summer of my sophomore year when I stayed at a close friend’s home, whose father, a practicing Medical Physician, became somewhat of a mentor to me. The passionate way in which he discussed the practice of medicine led me to develop an interest in pursuing a career as a physician. He explained that a career in the medical field was about responsibility, the responsibility to work with all members of the healthcare team for the well-being of the patient as well as their family
All my life I have known that I wanted to be involved in the medical field. At first, I wanted to be a Physical Therapist. The only problem was, I wasn’t excited about my possible future career. Then, I got offered a job doing in home care. I then knew I wanted to widened
In the near future my goal is to further my studies; in the nursing field as a Registered nurse. Personally, my main objectives to become a Registered nurse are, to help save the lives of other, accomplishing my goal, and living life more independently. These are the qualities that would best describe personality: enthusiastic, loving, caring, compassionate, honest, and a cheerful individual. I grow up to have deep passionate love for people, especially those that are unable to help themselves on a daily basis. I always vision myself attending to someone’s rescue; that is in danger or in critical condition. What I have noticed from a long time ago; is that the nursing industry is one out of many that devotes their time, patient, and input hard work and effort to help meet the need of others and make a difference.
When I was younger I use to pretend to be a doctor or nurse. It was always fun to go around and check to see who had a heart beat, who was bleeding, and who was hurt. I knew that I wanted a career in the medical field, but was unsure if I really wanted to be a doctor or a nurse. I thought the only career was to be a doctor or nurse. Of course, the medical profession is larger than that. It includes office staff, EMT’s, nurses, physician assistants, and several other kinds of physicians. While the opportunities are endless in this career field, I have decided that being a doctor or nurse was not what I really wanted to do. It takes too long; the schooling alone is longer than four years. I was not willing to spend more than four years in school. Instead I decided that I wanted to do something that is in the same field as a doctor or nurse. Yet, something that takes less time in school to get a degree for. In addition, I wanted it to be something that I could do to help doctors, nurses, and patients. That is when I found out that Medical Coding and Billing is what I wanted to do.
I chose nursing as a career because I found the work challenging, exciting and rewarding. I feel my skills and attributes are well suited for nursing. My ability to sta...
Upon arriving at Texas A&M University, I went into a major that I thought was right for me; however, I was just pressured into it by my father- I wanted to please him by going into the medical field. However, during my first week at A&M, I realized that I cannot run away from a career that delights me just upon thinking about it: which is
Growing up parents always ask their young kids what they want to be when they grow up; typically, from preschoolers you hear a variety of answers like “a superhero”, or “an astronaut”, and when one asks preteens you hear lots of “I want to be a doctor”. When I was asked this question in middle school I always answered “I want to be a nurse”. Throughout high school you are required to take a variety of classes in different subjects to widen your horizon on what interests you. From my experiences in these variety of class I learned a lot about myself and what I really liked, but one thing never changed and that was my dream profession of becoming a nurse. I credit my aunt, Shelly, who was a nursing professor at Medcenter One College of Nursing in Bismarck, ND for sparking my interest
“It may be difficult to find your career path” is what I have been told. However, I can attest to the validity of that statement, as I reflect on my experiences in attempting to reach my destination. I am confronted with countless opportunities every day and as the curious individual I am, I found myself repeatedly asking the infamous question, is this final destination? But is hard to judge what particular experience drives the individual to a definite goal. However, I am one of those candidates who was interested in the medical field since childhood, the question was what profession best suits my personality and skills. I was certain of only one thing: I want to be actively involved in medical decision-making. So I thought to myself is it
The thinking skills developed during my education will provide me the tools to help future patients. The medical field is unique in that it contains both academic and social components. A career in the medical field, in my eyes, would be rewarding. Physicians have the rare ability to improve their patient’s quality of life. Whether it is immediate or long term, physicians walk beside their patients. In doing so, relationships are formed with those they serve. I am motivated by the relationships I hope to one-day build. Serving others in need provides a satisfaction that inspires me to pursue a career in
In high school, I was among those students who always indicated that I will be going college. However, unlike most people I seem to meet these days I did not know that I wanted to be a doctor. When it was time to head off to college, I was still unsure of what I wanted to pursue. As most college freshmen, I did not know what major best suits my personality. I desired a career that would define who I am and a career that is self-gratifying. However, the path that I should follow was unclear to me. Because of my uncertainty I failed to see that my parents dream became my reality. As I began my college experience as a nursing student, I felt somewhat out of place. I realized that my reason for majoring in nursing was my parents' influence on me. They wanted me to believe that nursing is right for me. I always knew I wanted to go into the medical field, but I felt that I needed to know how to choose a medical specialty that I feel is right for me. My first step was to change my major. I chose to change my major to biology. My love for science led me to this decision. I began to explore the opportunities open to biology students.
Pretty sure no one has ever said being a nurse is easy. I started my journey to becoming a nurse 24 years ago. My first insight to my future was given to me by my grandmother. I visited her in the hospital several times and noticed how her nurses really cared for her and seemed to love their job. That was all it took for me. I enrolled in a nursing assistant course and within three months I was a certified nursing assistant (CNA). I could never have imagined what the next 24 years would look like, but I am forever grateful to my grandma. In this paper I will attempt to clarify my need to reach my goal of becoming a registered nurse (RN).
Whether we realize it or not we grow everyday physically and mentally. Even on our worst days we grow to be better people because the challenges just make us stronger. But, all challenges are different for everyone, for instance; a soccer player's biggest setback might be having an injured leg, whereas a pediatric nurse's biggest setback is losing a life. In light of that fact, with every setback comes a lesson it is up to you to choose what you take from it. In nursing you learn lessons everyday in everything you do from saving a life, to curing a sickness, ending with impacting the lives of
Throughout my life, I have worked towards one goal which is to become a doctor. Medicine offers the opportunity for me to integrate different scopes of science while trying to improve human life. Medicine has intrigued me throughout all my life because it??s a never ending mystery and every answer has questions, and vice versa. Upon entering my career, I had assumed that professional and financial success would surely bring personal fulfillment. This realization triggered a process of self-searching that led me to medicine. The commitment to provide others with healthcare is a serious decision for anyone. As I examined my interests and goals, however, I underwent a process of personal growth that has propelled me towards a career as a physician. A career in medicine will allow me to integrate thoroughly my passion for science into a public-service framework. Since childhood, I have loved acquiring scientific knowledge, particularly involving biological processes. During my undergraduate studies, I displayed my ability to juggle competing demands while still maintaining my academic focus; I have succeeded at school while volunteering part time, spending time with family and friends, and working part-time. To better serve my expected patient population, I worked over my English and Korean language skills. I have come to discover that a job and even a good income, without another significant purpose, will not bring satisfaction. I planed to utilize my assets, namely my problem- solving affinity, strong work ethic, and interpersonal commitment, to craft a stimulating, personally rewarding career in medicine. I have taken stock of myself, considering my skills, experiences, and goals. I have looked to family and friends, some of whom are doctors, for advice. Because of this self-examination, I have decided to pursue a career in health care. The process has been difficult at times but always illuminating. Throughout it all, I have never lost confidence - the confidence that I will actively absorb all available medical knowledge, forge friendships with fellow students, and emerge from my training as a skilful and caring physician.
