I think I deserve The Wright Health Partners Health Careers Academy Scholarship because all my life I have always wanted to be a certified nurse assistant. I dropped out of high school and never got the opportunity to finish high school or even get to go to post secondary school education, because I got pregnant with my first child. I never really got the chance to further my education like I wanted. I have worked as a housekeeper to support my family. My professional goals that I want to achieve in these two years are: I would like to get my Certified Nurse Assistant certification. After completing the course and getting experience as a Certified Nurse Assistant, I would like to go back to school to study in the medical field as a Registered Nurse. Finishing nursing school would have to be one of my main goals being accomplished. I hope that my …show more content…
Having four kids to be able to provide for and financially support has me living paycheck to paycheck. Jose is my oldest son. He is a Belmond-Klemme graduate from the class of 2016. He is currently attending NIACC to become a Physical Therapist. Alexis is my oldest daughter. She is currently a junior in high school. She plans on becoming a missionary and maybe later in the future also going into the medical field. Juan and Jazmyn are both in eighth grade. They are very involved with the school and all of their school clubs. Seeing my kids accomplishing what I couldn’t accomplish is a really amazing.
My greatest accomplishment is being able to raise my kids and teach them the value of what it is to go to school. Seeing them follow their dreams make me happy but also inspires me to go back to school so I can follow my dreams as well. Another accomplishment I have is being able to work at the hospital, even though it’s being a EVS at the hospital, I have always wanted to work at the hospital and in the near future actually be able to help people get
I am Amanda Selich, 27 years old, and have been living in San Francisco for roughly 10 years. I grew up in the East Bay with my 3 siblings and was raised by a single father. Much of my childhood was spent taking care of my younger siblings. This responsibility was so demanding I was forced to drop out of high school and become their “surrogate mother”. However at the age of 24 I was able to get my GED and finally attend college. In fact this past May I graduated from City College of San Francisco with highest honors in Science and Math.

Shacondra Burnette is the spark that ignited my fire to pursue the nursing field.

During my life I was taught education is important to make it in today’s society. So because of that I went to school for C.N.A. (Certified Nursing Assistant) straight out of high school in 1992. After working in this field for a couple years I decided that this field wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I then decided to work in the Customer Service field with varies companies like BellSouth in the repair department and Carnival Cruise Line in the reservation department.

Leadership; a trait that's been practiced for generations, creating a foundation where anyone can take action and create a plan or idea that can help our society's wellbeing, even if nothing is given in return. However leadership is not a skill that is perfected within a single night, on the other hand it's a trait that is gained throughout time. Being that, when I first began high school I never thought that I would be able to exhibit this vigorous position. I am usually the quite kid in the corner who never speaks and someone who is always shy to be in front of a big crowd. But it all took a turn when I was given the opportunity to become part of the certified nursing assistant (CNA) program at school, Secretary of Flag club, and take part
It is no secret that communication is key when providing direct patient care in a skilled nursing facility. However, there is a noticeable lapse in the communication between the care team when providing care to the individual or groups of individuals. Two main parts of any care team are the registered nurse and the certified nursing assistant, as these are the two people whom have the most direct and impactful roles with residents in a skilled facility. The Registered Nurse and the Certified Nursing Assistant play similar roles in providing patient care, but have different roles in its entirety. The role of the Registered Nurse (RN) is defined as having the competency and skill to provide direct and indirect health care to individuals, their families, and communities around them. Services are also provided designed to give out medications, to promote comfort or healing, promote healing, and to also provide the dignity of their patients and patient’s families (American College of Rheumatology, 2015).
Ive always wanted a rewarding career that revolved around helping people. I want to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner. I am not sure on what specialty I want. So given a assignment in my Introduction Health Sciences class where I have to shadow a nurse practitioner, it gives me the opportunity to explore a specialty and see what it really is like in their typical work day. An advanced practice registered nurse, by the name of Mary Carlson at Parkland Medical Center was willing to let me shadow her for a day. Carlson graduated with her BSN from Boston College. She then pursued a graduate degree from Boston University. Her official title is, Nurse Practitioner, Emergency Medicine.
Part 2----My biggest accomplishment is that I quit smoking almost a year ago. It was very challenging,but it showed me I can accomplish anything if I put my mine to it. Completing one goal has led me create other goals in my life and I always fight to achieve them cause I know I am capable of it.
My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.
