A Career In Health Care Field

The position that I am interested in applying for, is being a health information officer in a dental board setting in Melbourne, Victoria. Although my ultimate goal is to become a dentist, working in any sector in oral health is advantageous for my career. Certain skills and knowledge that are required to successfully gain this position include: experience in resolving and managing customer enquiries and problems, being meticulous, having effective time management skills and a flexible attitude , being proficient in a variety of programs such as Microsoft Word, and having a high level of accuracy with data entry and word processing. (Seek, 2017) The requirements that are listed above, will allow me to operate and assist the dental health care

I am currently at a two year college to get me started because I was unsure of my major at first. I knew I wanted to be in the health field and be able to help others. I was stuck between Nursing and Physical Therapy. I got to experience both fields through the New Visions program during my senior year of high school; through the program I was able to experience and volunteer at Monroe Community Hospital and Strong Memorial Hospital. I was placed on many different floors including a geriatric PT floor at Monroe Community Hospital and multiple nursing units at both hospitals. I also was involved in animal therapy with one of the volunteers at MCH. I learned so much about the nursing and PT field through this program and the experiences I was

After some trial-and-error in majors—after business and math education, I began to look at healthcare careers. I knew that I had a desire to help people because

Changing to the health care industry was a difficult decision, but one that I am glad I made. As budget decreases continued to happen I found I was no longer able to provide my students with the amount of care and individual attention that they deserved and required. Knowing I no longer was able to teach to the level I desired I decided to look at different career possibilities. Health care had always interested me and I decided to go back to school for nursing. It took me one clinical rotation as a certified

Immediately after high school I began school to become a CNA. I enjoyed my job, but found very quickly problems and limitations that I had to overcome. I began to rethink my original desire to become a nurse; I started to think of other ways I could be in healthcare and still be helpful in the care of those I was in charge of. That’s where healthcare management comes in. I feel this is the perfect career

Up until I started to work in the health care, my family and I had health insurance coverage through my husband’s employer. Honestly the coverage we had, it had high deductible ($5000/year) and we never really went to the doctor unless there was an unexpected illness. Fortunately, we never really had to seek out for medical attention due to leading a healthy lifestyle. Also coming from Europe, I never really understood how health insurance works up until I became a nurse. When I got hired to my facility, I remember the health insurance advisor laid out all the health plan options (such as PPO, HMO) I can choose from which was really confusing. She was really patient with me and explained how each plan works and which one fits my family needs.

The color green, blue, orange, and gold are in the order from the highest to lowest according to the color test. The two top careers I have chosen are nurse practitioner and psychiatrist. A nurse practitioner is a good fit for me because I get to work with a variety of people such as children, teens, adults, and senior citizens. The expected monthly salary can vary from the state and private practice, but it is about $9,755 dollars. Nurse practitioners have a faster than average growth rate or 31% more expected growth rate. To be a nurse practitioner, one must major in nursing and earn a master’s degree and completed an additional training in an approved program which takes about 2-3 years. I am interested in going to CSU Fresno State that

All were inspired to pursue healthcare because of a profoundly personal experience: an early childhood disease, perhaps, or a relative or sibling forced to live with a congenital defect or condition. In short, someone they knew, likely, faced a life-altering disease or injury that, for whatever reason, inspired that individual to aspire to make a difference and dedicate themselves to a career in

I think the future of healthcare related jobs in the next 5-10 years is extremely bright. During and after recent the economic slump, healthcare related jobs were expanding more than most sectors of the economy. That’s why healthcare positions always feature in the top 5 fastest growing jobs. This can be attributed to the advancement in medical technology, improved quality of care leading to an increased life expectancy. This improvement in life expectancy has seen a growth in the elderly population and an increasing demand for health services.

Employment for this career is projected to grow 30% from 2014 to 2024. As the demand for healthcare increases due to a growing and aging population, there is a higher need for healthcare providers because the baby boomers will need more medical attention as they age. PAs can perform many of the same services as doctors and are expected to have a much larger role in giving routine care because they are more cost effective than doctors. Good job security and prospects are expected, especially for PAs working in rural and medically underserved areas as well as primary care.

I acknowledge and understand that as my time as a student at Metropolitan State University of Denver and as I continue my career in Health Care Management, that I show ethics an integrity through my journey. I will do so by bringing together the resources and sources given to me by the University as well as my career to gain more knowledge, care for others, and create value to not only myself and others through the sources given. I will be honest with the University, my professors, my advisors, and myself with my education and the opportunities given to make sure that it is best for me; more importantly those I will be making an impact on. I will follow the Universities, professors, and my work-enviorments rule and regulations.

Threat of New entrants: The Hospital industry considers the threat of the new entrants as low due to the fact that the main barriers to entry into the hospital industry are highly regulated. There are several costs such as capital requirement needs, investments as well as high switching costs that are high hurdles to enter this particular industry as advance technology and specialized knowledge is needed. Competitions are also based on streamlined processes to determine quality. In addition, geographic factors also limit competition as well as it is difficult to create new brand identifies.

My interest of learning and having a career in the health field started since I was a very young age. When I was growing up my parents and their friends had some type of job in the health field. I remembered seeing my mom and her friends come out of the hospital in their scrubs wanted to be like them. I also remembered seeing pictures of my dad interacting with patients on holidays and listening to the stories that my mom had working in a pediatric center. During my childhood, the more I saw all of my family members and friends accepting jobs in the health field, the more I wanted to be like them. In high school, I began volunteering in hospital departments such as obstetrics and gynecology and in nursing homes interacting with the elderly

My main career goal, before I started this job, was to receive a degree and become a part of the growing healthcare community. I was unsure of which specific degree I wanted however I did have a few ideas. One of the ideas I had was to become a nurse but going to school fulltime in a traditional setting just wasn’t in the cards for me. I started working as soon as I turned sixteen and I have worked full time since I graduated high school. I wanted to ensure that I could be independent and take care of myself. When I started working at Grifols back in December of last year my career goals became much clearer to me. I fell in love with this job and the plasma center operations. The fact that people can come into our centers and help themselves while saving lives is amazing. My new career goal is to obtain my degree in healthcare management and to

In our lifetime, we all have been challenged with following our leaders within politics, church, office or we, ourselves, were leaders within those same capacities. We lead people deliberately or unknowingly by the choices we make or by those choices that we challenge others to make. I think that many times we take those challenges too lightly and do not realize the impact we make in the lives of others both personally and professionally. John Maxwell, a great leader, once said: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way”. As an advocate of education, it is my desire to lead others to excellence within my future profession as a healthcare manager and nurse. As I envision my future, 10 years from now, I see myself
