A career in medicine is one of the most prestigious careers to have not only in the United States, but in the world. A career that allows you to help mankind and help people survive in a world filled with diseases and harmful bacteria must be a true blessing. Enriching lives of others would not only benefit them, but would bring a deeper meaning into my life. If I had the chance to choose any career I wanted, why not choose a career that will introduce me to new patients and cases that I had to critically think to find the best care to help them recover? Why not choose a career with job stability and the ability to specialize in anything I wanted and be one of the people in charge to make the big decisions? My motivation in medicine started
Along with creating steps which will lead me towards my ultimate career goal, the creation of a specific five-year plan for myself was key. In five years I will be in school, hopefully in my final year of my Masters degree; a plan which seems so simple to achieve, however requires an extensive amount of hard work and dedication. Being so far in my academic career already, I will hopefully have worked in summer internships or been employed during the year by a speech-language pathologist or various health institutions to gain experience in the profession and potentially become full time employed by one of these institutions post-graduation. Within the five years, I will have as well established networks and built relationships with multiple
“As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.” I relate to this quote by Paul Shane Spear because it mirrors how I feel about pursuing a career in nursing. I want to be able to help others as much as I can. Arriving to this career choice was not a simple decision for me. What influenced me most in wanting to be a nurse was helping my grandfather during the past several years, and helping him through different illnesses and surgeries. My grandfather, who I call Papa, lives with me and my immediate family. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help him because he and I are very close and he is my best friend. Through my involvement in helping him heal from his medical challenges, I was able to come
This career option as an assessment employer for the child protective services could possibly be a long-term career option. Although, I do not believe I would want this as my long-term career goal. Choosing to work directly out of college would also allow myself to gain experience within the field which would improve the possibility of getting a better job or getting into graduate school. If I was hired and I did accept the position within five years my goal would be to continue working while attending school to further mu education. I would continue to work to gain more experience as well as helping me get through school by paying off my tuition. I would not leave this job until I graduate and had another job lined up.
A career in the medical field is always evolving, and always needing more hands. I knew from a young age that helping people is what I was meant to do, and from then on out every step I took was the way to a successful career in nursing. It is a profession that allows you to see people at their worst, all while helping them become their best. The most important task for nursing students is to create a clear pathway for our education, and to be sure to follow that plan accordingly. When choosing this career, I had to access my own strengths and weaknesses and really establish clear goals for myself and evaluate if I had what it takes to be a part of this diverse and skilled profession. I also decided not only not only do I need to set professional goals for this career, personal goals are important as well.
The biggest problem with being a first generation child is living with idea that your parents sacrifice isn’t wasted on your unwillingness to see their dreams come true. Becoming a doctor, lawyer, or an engineer isn’t your dream or goal, it’s theirs’s. As a child growing up, I was pushed towards a medical route by my father, as he had high hopes of me becoming a big name doctor. With the idea of medicine in mind, I really had no idea in what direction I wanted to go. The possibilities of what I wanted to do in life in regards to medicine were endless. So I started to turn towards TV and one of the most influential shows that got me into what I wanted to do is the show Dexter. Dexter’s field of work was not exactly what I had in mind, but it led me to focus on Forensic Science. With a little extra research I found a job that I had my eyes set on, and that was becoming a Medical Examiner.
I grew up in a research and development campus where my father is a scientist. Research and curiosity were constantly encouraged and this prompted me to take up medicine as a career, a field that offers tremendous prospects for research and discoveries. Throughout medical school I tried to be involved in research and attempts at trying out new ideas, be it in the lab or working with human subjects. I carried this through my residency and now my fellowship. The idea of studying a topic or issue that has so far not been treaded upon seems to be extremely exciting and challenging.
I worked as a greens keeper at a golfcourse named Baycel. I had many responsibilities there including making sure the course was in good shape and playable each day.
witness the amazing efforts made by the nursing staff that ultimately saved my brother’s life.
My experience with the medical system has exponentially increased over the past two years. Aside from a torn ligament in my knee, and broken growth plate that crippled me during my high school years; I experienced the medical system through the eyes of an accompanying family member. On October 6th, 2014 my moms MRI results came in, and showed a tumor the size of a baseball protruding around her frontal cortex. The months leading up to October were led by inarticulate thoughts and memory loss. My mother had brain surgery on an early morning the day of Thanksgiving. After two weeks, we were informed by Dr.Kilpatrick (the neurosurgeon) that the tumor that was removed was malignant(cancerous). After that day my life was altered in almost every
I met Amy in the fall of 2014 at the College of Saint Benedict when she was student in my Advanced Adult Nursing Skills course. Upon meeting Amy, I was immediately impressed by her excellent communication skills, outstanding work ethic, positive attitude and her devotion to learning.
In times of crisis, have you ever noticed that some people run towards a disaster rather than away from it? During September 11th, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing, news channels showed everyday people not hesitating to aid first responders and help each other amidst danger.. Within each of us there is a desire to help others in need. In response to threats, human beings feel a wide range of emotions. As an ER physician, I must channel these emotions into action. While this initiative remains essential, my tasks cannot be accomplished without compassion and teamwork.
The occupation that I choose was pharmacy tech because pharmacy tech’s work mostly in the back of the pharmacy dispensing medicine and not dealing with customers so much as Pharmacists do. I would like to work in this occupation because, like I said in the beginning, I would not like to deal with people as much as Pharmacists do. I would like to work in this occupation because pharmacy tech they work in the back and sometimes, they answer questions that the patients have about the medicine. Pharmacy tech’s also dispense medicine for patients, answer question that the patients have, like I said before, and supply medicine for patients whether it's over the counter or prescription. Another occupation that I was considering doing was to be a pharmacist. The reason why I was considering being a pharmacist's was because they also distribute medicine like the pharmacy tech’ s do, they provide information about
I began taking advanced placement classes to challenge myself, to be the best I can be. Although it was difficult to maintain good grades, practice 10 hours a week for the swim team, and working a part-time job, I enjoyed the push and the outcome I received at the end. Due to wanting to be in the Medical field, I took Honors Anatomy and Physiology in order to learn more about the human body; prepare myself for the memorization and the use of note cards. All the information felt like my head was bottled up, I wanted to enjoy my high school years, because “they pass by so fast, make the best of them” my brother would constantly say to me but failed to mention if I really wanted to do what I loved, I had to let all that go and focus on school; which became my biggest responsibility. There were times where I just wanted to take the easy way out and drop the class, but I knew no good would come from that; instead I balanced out my schedule by prioritizing my time between school, practice and work.
Ever since I can remember, I have always dreamt of a career in medicine. I have always had a passion of saving others people's lives. Being a doctor is meant for me because I love taking the time throughout my day to make a difference in people's lives. I am willing to further my education for an extended amount of time just to fulfill my dreams of becoming a doctor. Others want to become a doctor because of money or prestige, I want to become a doctor to help the people that are ill. My grandmother, who has been suffering from Cancer for 3 years is recovering from therapy. Even though, she experiences skin problems frequently, the doctors are still doing everything in their power to help her recover. Her hair have started to grow back and she is back to her normal self. This is one of the reasons why I want to be a doctor. When one is a doctor, people look up to that individual when they are at their weakest point. When they have no one else a doctor helps maintain a sense of hope for the patient and his or her family. I will be honored to say that I will be the person people turn t...
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.
