Principles of Biomedical Science teacher told my class to check it out. I received a brochure that went over all that would happen in the 5 days I was there.

My first clinical experience as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer student was at North Shore Medical Center. I was very nervous my first day, because I didn't quite know what to expect, and how much I was going to be doing as an intern in this course. Even though we were given all the information by our instructors at school it is a completely different experience to actually be at the hospital and try to help and perform with a team of professionals and their patients. I was assigned a second shift
Beverly Dipo's essay, "No Rainbows, No Roses." Dipo, a nurse, relates her experience of being touched by the strength of a dying woman. This woman, Mrs. Trane, was at the end of her long battle with cancer.

My determination to pursue medicine was inspired by my genuine interest in science and was affirmed after a meaningful work placement where I gained a true insight into the medical field for the first time.

An eye-opening case was that of
dealt with. Growing up this way, medical settings became a comfortable, familiar, and interesting place for me. So much so that nothing but a healthcare career seemed to click the right way with me. During one of my first volunteer shifts after I moved into the perioperative department, a nurse told me that in any worst-case scenario, he would want to have my mom or aunt working the case with him.

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
Admissions Essay - Ugandan Culture and Medicine My trip to Uganda proved to be an extremely rewarding experience.

He was a carnival worker and was only planning to be in Lexington for a temporary amount of time until the carnival left. When he was admitted into Saint Joseph Hospital, there were no indications that he had family and/or friends that should be contacted. At first, he was unable to talk, and his mobility was extremely
During my experiences working in the medical field, I quickly learned that medicine is not just about the intricacies of the body or prescribing medications to fix the body’s shortcomings.

It’s the most important job for nurses because if you did not chart it, it didn’t happen. The medical chart provides everything that was done regarding the patient’s medical care.
