Becoming A Neurological Surgeon

In addition to performing procedures, neurosurgeons oversee and coordinate the efforts of groups of surgeons and nurses in the operating room.

In 2008 when I decided to start going to college I had no idea what I wanted to do; besides eventually be a Game Warden. Goals that I laid out for myself were simple at the time. I foresaw nothing that was going to get in my way. I was prepared to breeze right through everything. Personal goals that I had set for myself were to continue on with a happy marriage and lose weight. My academic goals consisted of graduating by 2012 and starting a master’s program right after graduating with my bachelor’s degree. Professional goals were to get my dream career of Game Warden and I wanted to teach EMS students. As life went on things changed drastically and while some of these goals are achieved others have been long gone and some have been pushed to achieve later in

At the end of my senior year of high school, I had to make a senior portfolio; part of the project was to write down your goals and make a timetable for where you see yourself in five or ten years. I wrote that my goal in life is to be happy and I skipped the timetable because if my goal is to be happy then I can’t plan out how to obtain that goal. Who knows what will make me happy in five years? Life is constantly changing; nothing actually stays the same. It is important to set goals for yourself, but my idea of goals is different. I want to be happy and my goal is to take whatever smaller steps are necessary to get there.

They perform surgical procedures to treat and cure a variety of conditions such as tumors, blood clots, and traumatic injuries. This career is physically and intellectually demanding and requires excellent hand dexterity and hand-eye coordination and these surgeons must be capable of remaining calm and focused in life-or-death situations ("How to Become A Neurosurgeon: Education and Career Roadmap"). Most neurosurgeons work "on call" and do not have a specific routine for a typical workday. However, based on a standard "yield" of surgical cases from clinic, and a typical pace of clinic, a typical week might look similar to this: two days in the operating room, two to three full days in clinic, and rounds: in the morning, and in the evening, whatever time left goes to administration, meetings, QA functions etc. (citation). Likewise, according to an interview with a neurosurgeon, they perform surgeries three days a week and check up on patients and complete papers two days a week

Your choices will affect you throughout your life, whether it is a big or small decision. For example, it could be something simple like eating fast food for the third time this week or it could be important like going to an interview for a new job position. When you are young, you change your mind every chance you get. This might be why deciding what job you want for the rest of your life is difficult. Currently, 1. I want to be a RN, which is a registered nurse. Registered nurses do a lot to help their community and the people in it. With this job, I would be able to give back to the community by helping people. This makes me feel like I would be a better person.

My end goal is to be able to work when I want to by age 50. So some of my career goals are to learn a trade that I love which is science, business, computers, and a tiny bit of sociology. These interests are what make me pursue certain career goals such as getting a job at a large corporation to learn science, business, and interact with people. The things that have helped shaped my career goals and interests are my friends, family, scientists, and books. I inherited a curiosity of the world from my family and friends and honed my curiosity, imagination, and sometimes eccentric ideas as well. I learned philosophy, laws of the universe, and what I am made of from the great scientists such as Feynmann, Einstein, MIchio Kaku, and many more. From

Out of the three goals, (Personal, educational, and professional) I chose two of the goals that I am focusing on and that is my personal and educational goals. For my personal goals, I want to create a big picture of what I plan to do in life. Then I want to break them down in order to reach my goals, then once I have them together, then I would start working on them to achieve them. For example(Specific and Measurable goals), I plan on finding a job that has great benefits and the best rate of pay, and one that does not require working on weekends(Monday-Friday only), and not working overtime.

My personal life, as it currently stands, is ideal. I could only ask for more traveling, but that would take me away from work and school, but I do a fair amount of traveling already. This life was given to me by my husband after meeting him after a series of unfortunate events that lead me in his direction. As for my career goals, in the next 1-3 years, I would like to complete my BA and obtain a higher position in my current field of Logistics, within FedEx. I have enjoyed the challenges and responsibilities provided within FedEx and prefer to stay within the Company, however, I am open to outside variables - though not actively pursuing them at this time. I realized lately, though, in the past six months that

Some people have a lot of dreams or goals that they always wanted to do or follow, but there is always one main dream or goal to follow. When I was younger, I have a lot of dreams that I liked. I always wanted to be a construction worker, WWE wrestler, and a pilot. But as time goes on and I grew older my dream changed, now I wanted to be a music producer. The reason why I want to be a music producer is that because I want to try making music, also there are a lot of other reasons.

Many people are already thinking about what they want their life to be like in the future. My future begins in college. I’ve been waiting to go to college since middle school. I’m interested in taking anything in the medical field such as nursing, pharmacist, medical technician, etc. I believe this will benefit me, my family, and other people because I want to take care of my family, other patients, and also myself by learning more about health science. To me, successful is happiness, and happiness is not necessarily being wealthy. My happiness is having to help people and also having a family who cares and supports me.

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy-tale like, we tend to see life through a rose-colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal.

A neurologist is a doctor that specializes in the nervous system. They study the brain and the nerves and the disorders and how they react to each other. Everything we do involves the brain. I have been ambitious since a kid to learn more about how our bodies work and why humans do certain things. They also help with problems that involve the brain like stroke, seizures, and Alzheimer's. There are many skills needed for this job, for example communication skills, problem-solving, leadership skills, these are just some of the many skills needed.

Upon being asked about my future, I have always been met with anxiety and fear of such unknown. Growing up, as more and more of my peers developed their specific interests and even revealed desired career choices, I only felt lost in terms of what I wished to purse. I found that I was easily overwhelmed if I allowed myself to read too deeply into the dreaded “what am I going to do with my life” question. I have come to realize that it is much less anxiety provoking, however, if I view this matter on a smaller scale. After all, I do have aspirations and goals that I strive to achieve on a short-term basis.

Currently, there are many types of goals I have for myself that are important to my career. Of the first, I want to stay here at University of Saint Francis and get my Bachelors in Science of Nursing. I’ve transferred to and from many colleges since being out of high school and I think I’ve finally found my home at USF. This degree would help me obtain a job that is something I enjoy doing rather than something I’m forced to do. Secondly, I would love to be on the Dean’s List every semester. I’m not quite sure how this fits in with my career other than it would be something I can say I did while getting my degree. Lastly, I plan on sticking with my job at the nursing home in hopes that someday I can use that as resume builder and gain extra knowledge in things I wouldn’t normally be able to access in a classroom. Who knows, this might lead to further advancement and even promotion!
