Nursing assistant I became a nurse’s assistant on July 5, 2005. Since then I worked at quite I few nursing home facility in my ten years of being a nurse’s assistant, some being the worst, where you always worked short staff where you had to rust to get the work done and couldn’t get the time that you needed off. You would work so hard nine days a week eight hours a day for a low pay rate. I started to loss my compassion for this field. Now that I’m working for virtua health care system; one of the best health care facility in south jersey that has all changed. I like my job for the reasons: they are very flexible with my schedule, they pay well, and most of all it has renewed my compassion and desire to work in the field of helping
My ambition to pursue a health-related career derived from my passion for helping and caring for people. However, deciding on a profession did not come as easy. Participating in my high school’s health academy was just the stepping-stone into the health world. After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Exercise Science, I was still not sure of the specific health career to pursue.
My calling in life has always been clear to me, in my heart I have always known that I wanted to become a part of the medical field. Ever since I was a little girl I have admired the men and women who work in this field. Their drive and compassion to help those in need inspire me to become a future Registered Nurse. One of the many individuals within this field who has inspired me is Alfred Lopez a Registered Nurse at the California Institution for Women. He is 45 years old and has received his Bachelor 's degree in nursing from UCLA. As a nurse he provides exemplary care without judgement or bias towards those who are convicted as felons and criminals. He is a respectable and good natured man that lends an unbiased helping hand to all, despite what they have done in this life. This is why I strive to one day join the field of nursing because in this field every patient is treated equally among one another.
Through the traumatic experience of my father’s illness, a positive and optimistic perspective of commitment to nursing career evolved. My journey of becoming a nurse and commitment of shining a bright light on another individual life has been my life long goal. I moved to the United States in early 1980 and with God help and guidance, I followed the nursing career and promised to make a small difference. During my first years as a nursing student, I took a part-time volunteered position as a candy-stripe and a part-time position as a nurse aid in a community hospital to provide relief and support to hospital staffs. I rocked and read poems for babies in the nursery, as a nurse aid I assist nurses with vital signs, blood pressures, fill ice pitchers in patient rooms, runs specimens to labs and sit with patients in the room and feed patients. I still volunteer in my hospital oncology department and the underserved and homeless clinics with several Emory physicians at the Good Samaritan Health Center, Mercy Care and National AIDS Education and Services for Minorities (NAESM) all in Fulton County, Ga, because it gave me fulfillment and appreciative of life
My career of nursing is like the cyclical pattern of life, as time passes and situations are experienced, one is shaped into a certain individual/professional, ending up in places that never seemed to be part of life’s plan. Personally, the challenges and triumphs of providing patient centered care to help others live a healthier life, and aiming to prevent illness, is rewarding and quite humbling. As I continue to learn about opportunities to provide individualized care to patients and their families, I further understand the imperativeness of the “whole person,” which is a critical skill of a nurse practitioner. As a skilled clinician, progressing in my career as an aspiring family nurse practitioner in the Stony Brook University School of Nursing, I will impact my patients by providing them comprehensive care that will result in improved quality of life.
I was born in the Philippines and raised to be a hard working woman. My determination and high dedication to my goal brought me to where I am now. I started my career in health care as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) in one of the hospitals here in IL, USA. I did not realized until I became a CNA that helping other people especially the vulnerable one made me happy deep inside and appreciate what I have in life. Therefore, I decided to further my education in nursing in order to help more and be one of an advocate person to the most sick person. I took the Associate degree first, then finished the Bachelor's degree after two years. I had two jobs while I was finishing my bachelor's degree and I was able to managed it well. I have been an RN in Medical-Surgical for about five years now. I'm always expose to adult and geriatric patients and always love to take care of them. I have been taking care of different kind of patients with different medical diagnosis and also different post-operative patients from joint surgeries, abdominal surgeries, back surgeries, etc. I've been able to educate them, assess them well with their conditions, modify patient's treatment plans, coordinate with other healthcare team, and perform other responsibilities of a nurse. One of my goals
I was never one of those who at a young girl wanted to become a nurse. I knew I always wanted to work in healthcare administration. I will say my journey to become a nurse started after facing some challenging health and personal experience. I lost my father suddenly to heart disease at age 15. My father was my bedrock who at that time always wanted me to become a nurse but as a teenager I wanted to do my own thing. Not until I experienced series of hospitalization, one that told out for me was when I was admitted for 2 weeks in the hospital and I almost died. The nurses were incredible, they were angels at my bedside, they encouraged me, worked me through my treatment plan, and explained every detail to me. The nurses were the parents I did not have at my bedside for 24 hours. After discharge, I started to think about a career in nursing. Not too long after this occurrence, I started taking my prerequisites while in volunteered at Bellevue Hospital. After a long journey, I finally became a registered nurse.
I am Uniqua Parham and I am an enthusiastic person that is very interested in working in the healthcare industry. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in health science with a pre-physical therapy tract. I am currently in my final full time semester and this summer I will be taking my final course for my degree. I chose to become a physical therapist because I have wanted to work in healthcare for a long time, but I found out as a teenager that I am squeamish with other people’s blood. As a result, I chose a career path where I could still work in healthcare but deal with as little blood as possible.
During my undergraduate years in college I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to become when I “grew up”. I would study various professions and never felt like anything fit for me. One evening I sat down with my aunt, a nurse, and I was talking to her about how I couldn’t decide on a major and how frustrating it was to be in college feeling as if I did not have any direction. She looked at me with complete surprise on her face and said, “You aren’t applying for nursing school?” I stared at her for a moment because I was confused as to why she would ask me that. She chuckled and proceeded to tell me that she had always assumed that I would be a nurse because I spent several years of my life taking care of my 3 year old cousin who had cancer. For three years I was his caregiver and it had never occurred to me that I could make a living caring for people. I then spent countless hours researching nursing and what exactly nurses did. This was it! I had finally found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! It took no time at all to know that I wanted to specialize in pediatrics. Throughout my clinical experiences in nursing school I have immensely enjoyed working on the Pediatric units as well as the Nursery. I am now absolutely certain that I am meant to be a pediatric nurse. Cook Children’s is recognized as a Magnet-designated hospital and is one of the best children’s hospitals in the US. Being a Cook Children’s nurse resident would allow me to fulfill my passion and dream of pediatric nursing. I am interested in a nurse residency at Cook Children’s because of its excellent reputation in patient satisfaction, standard of care, and community involvement. A residency at Cook Children’s would allow me to gain more experience and know...
The field of nursing is a career that has interested me for years now. It has become a very popular specialty of healthcare to go into each year for many adults. After working in healthcare at Marietta Memorial Hospital for a few months in the lab and the rest as an ER technician, I have come to the conclusion that I want to make the next step in my career and pursue to become a registered nurse as a profession. My father has been my biggest influence for me to pursue registered nursing as a lifelong career. He passed away this past May from strokes, and for the past few years I would help take care of him, make sure he would take his medications, and educate him on what would go on at his doctor 's appointments and what was going on when
When I was a senior in high school, applying for colleges was something I was trying to put off. I had such a wide range of interests that I had no inclination what career path would be the right fit for me. I envied my classmates who could concisely answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” By April of my senior year, I found myself accepted to 10 different Universities in many different majors and still no clear direction. It wasn’t until meeting with faculty from different nursing schools that I became very interested in the thought of becoming a registered nurse. Speaking with anyone associated with the nursing programs, I noticed a strong sense of pride and enthusiasm that was unique to the field.
A Registered Nurse promotes health, prevent diseases and help patients cope with illness. When providing direct patient care, nurses observe, assess and record symptoms, reactions and progress, which provide the basis for care planning and intervention. I want to be a nurse because I have always had an interest in the medical field, and I have always wanted to have a career in which I can change lives. By being a nurse I will have the opportunity to help others. I will also gain medical knowledge not only to get or keep others healthy, but myself as well. I will continue to learn interesting things about the human body. I will be able to interact with interesting people in other healthcare professions, and gain knowledge from them as well.
What is a registered nurse (RN)? According to Merriam-Webster, it is a nurse who has graduated from a college's nursing program or from a school of nursing and has passed a national licensing exam. An RN is above most other nurses except a nurse practitioner. In most aspects they also excel than other nurses such as their salary, position in chain of command, and job security. This is not simply because of their job title, but what led them to earn the superior perks are the extended years of school, experience, and previous training.
Both my current job and are dream jobs are in the medical field they are very similar yet different. For example, my job now is a certified nursing assistant and my dream job is to become a registered nurse. Both jobs consist of taking guardianship of people providing hands-on work, comfort care, and compassion. My dream is to further my career from a nurse assistant and become a nurse that does more for people in the world.
For as long as I can remember, when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied by stating I wanted to be a nurse. It was no surprise to anyone that when I graduated high school early, I was accepted into a program with a full tuition scholarship, and began my journey in nursing school. I successfully received my certified nursing assistant license and found a position within a hospital as a patient care technician. During my shift, I was asked to work in the psychiatric unit. Every weekday at noon, the therapist would hold a meeting in their office to collaborate with the nurses and discuss care plans, treatment goals, and psychotherapy preparation. As a young and aspiring nurse, I observed the degrading manner in which the
Being accountable to me as a professional is saying yes to the call and responsibility we have to bear out. It is a responsibility we take for ourselves and for others who rely on us to be present in any situations. The mission requires an openness to relationship with others. The consistency of performing at a higher level each time the job is done and strive to give all for the greatest good. In collaboration with others involved. That bond can strengthen when everyone involved intersect their effort to the same purpose. The skills acquired over the years as a bedside nurses give me an opportunity to be dependable and trustworthy. Knowing what to do in difficult situations and being intuitive is a plus. It can help in a managerial position
