Becoming A Pharmacist Or A Pediatric Oncology Nurse

While volunteering, I checked in patients, helped organize charts, and worked as a receptionist. This allowed me to serve the underserved population and work with a diverse group of professionals. It was inspiring to volunteer at the clinic because I witnessed esteemed professionals sacrifice their time to volunteer at a free clinic in order to help the community flourish. This inspires me to follow in their footsteps when I become a physician. I volunteered at the community clinic my freshman year; unfortunately, I became extremely busy with course work that I had to stop. However, I have registered to volunteer starting August and I plan to continue working throughout my senior year.

A pediatric oncology nurse is one who works with children who have cancer so under the age of 18 or sometimes they work with patients up to 21. they are responsible for giving out medications, recording observations and they report the test to doctors and the parents. pediatric oncology tests one’s abilities dealing with children with cancer and especially is emotionally draining. oncology is the study of analysis of tumors.

I made the decision to join the health care field based on my own desire, love of the people that live and thrive around me, and to be a role model for my daughter. I feel it is important to have a goal in life, and it is important to me to show my daughter the value of goals, and achieving them as well. I love meeting new people, and being able to lend a helping hand in any way I possibly can. What better way to help the general population then to have a profession in the health care industry.

Volunteering at Texas Health Presbyterian Plano is my way of giving back to the community while developing critical social skills, and gaining important medical field exposure along the way. It’s an opportunity to change a person’s life, including my own. I volunteered at two hospitals last summer and I’m well acquainted with what volunteering entails and would more than love to do it again. Through this hospital volunteer program, I hope to discover my own passions and talents, while also developing skills that I will utilize throughout my entire high school and college experience.

Over the summers of high school I have been a volunteer at the Cedar Valley Humane Society. My duties as a volunteer included cleaning up cages, kennels, floors, and dishes, as well as comforting and walking the animals. I have loved animals for as long as I remember, so it was very satisfying to be able to help out these animals in need. My favorite part was seeing how much their days were made just by getting some care and affection. Furthermore, I have just recently started volunteering at the Mercy Hospital. I think volunteering at the hospital will help expand my knowledge of health career jobs and medical terminology. I plan to volunteer a large amount of my time to help out the patients and staff at

I would like to volunteer at Rutherford Regional Hospital because I am interested in learning what working at the hospital is really like. I want to be a Registered Nurse in the birthing center of a hospital or in the NICU. I want to know for sure that I’m completely capable of doing the job and working in a hospital setting before I officially decide. I have also been interested in medical work and I enjoy getting to work around people. Although the volunteer workers don’t get to do everything that I’d do as a nurse, it is still a great opportunity to learn and discover new things that I didn’t know about before.

Ever since I was a child, I have been encouraged to plan ahead. Every aspect of my childhood was filled with planning, such as when I went to bed or what I would wear the next day. This is mostly due to the effect of my parents getting divorced. I had to start planning my life out based on the circumstance of switching between houses. As a child, I learned the substantial value that planning has on my life.

“We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.”-Jennifer Garner. I believe through this experience, I have been given the opportunity to experience something I have never done before. This project has given me a reason to volunteer, and because of this I would like to volunteer more. I choose to volunteer at San Dimas Community Hospital located 0.2 miles away from my house. It was very easy to volunteer there because I could just take a short walk and arrive at the hospital. Before I could begin volunteering at the hospital, I had to fill out a detailed application before. After completing the application, I waited one month, before finally getting the call that I was selected. After the acceptance, I was ask to go to a meeting, where we had to sign tons of papers and take two extensive tests. Finally, after that we received badges that allowed us into the hospitals

Not only will I be experiencing what it takes to become a doctor, I will be providing healthcare to those in need. I will be part of an organization that actually helps the community in a positive way by treating the health concerns of people in stressful situations. Through previous volunteer work, I noticed that a small deed can provide another individual with immense happiness. Impacting others and seeing the happiness in them is what fulfills me and brings happiness of my own. This is why volunteer work speaks to me and the underlying reason that ultimately made me choose the medical path. And because of this, I strive to volunteer in various service events in my community in order to aid as many people as I can. I have previously volunteered in hospitals and

I found my interest when I volunteered at my local Hospital. I decided to volunteer there because I found it to be a great way to not only volunteer, but to have a bit of insight as to how a career in the medical field works. In the summer of 2016, I volunteered every weekday except Friday at Kingwood Medical Center. I was placed in Pediatrics, ICU. Every shift was four hours. On Thursday and any other day I could, I volunteered for eight hours. On a Thursday I got ready to head out to my shift. I entered through the south tower, and clocked in. Every thursday I was set to go to pediatrics center. Sadly, the pediatrics center never really had much patients, so there wasn’t much to do. Mrs. Aaron, who was in charge of the volunteer department,

While at the hospital one day with my boyfriend I observed a man going up and down the hallway. The nurse constantly kept calling him and asking him how certain rooms were doing. I could tell by the way he was dressed that he was not an employee but rather a volunteer. I noticed how helpful he was, and since I love comforting and helping others in times of need, volunteering at the hospital seemed like a natural choice for me to donate my time. What better time when a person just comes into this world, is about to die, going through a harsh time without family or just someone who needs some cheering up. So, I went on my computer and searched opportunities to become a volunteer. Children’s Specialized Hospital was a top hit. I scrolled the

From the time I was a child, I have dreamed of becoming a person that can change lives for the better. More specifically I have dreamed of becoming a pediatric oncologist. I want to save the lives of children with cancer, because I have seen firsthand the devastation that cancer causes the sufferers and those around them. I believe Syracuse University can help me achieve my dream of becoming a pediatric oncologist because the university offers a pre-medicine major which will challenge me academically and prepare me take the MCAT exam. The pre-health advising will also be helpful in preparing me to enter the competitiveness of medical

Freshman year, during soccer season, I found myself aspiring to become a Pediatric Oncologist. Detecting a lump in my right breast, I began to worry. When I found out it was a tumor, I became terrified. Felt the world coming down with no room left breath. The school year not being over yet, I refused to get surgery. Missing over a week of school was not on my agenda, and I’m not allowing anything detain my chances to accomplish my dreams. The doctor beseeched for the surgery to occur sooner; waiting could cause complications. However, my decision on attending UNC is incisive. Afraid that missing school would affect my chances of attending UNC Chapel Hill, I chose to postpone the surgery. The idea of not attending UNC Chapel Hill appears unbearable,

It’s interesting that, sometimes, when people expect to really like something, they end up disliking it. Other times, they expect to really dislike something, but they find that they really liked it. When I decided to volunteer at St. Luke Episcopal Hospital, I don’t think I really understood what I was signing up for. I signed up because I wanted to help the patients in a consequential, however, small ways. I thought that I could help the most in jobs that involved interactions with patients. So, when the volunteer coordinator, Nancy, she asked me where I wanted to work, I told her that I wanted to work anywhere where I would be able to interact with patients. I added that I preferred to not work at the gift shop, where I would not see many

Choosing a career was no simple decision. As much as I would have liked a life-changing event to help with the process, my decision to pursue pharmacy was a gradual one. It started from my experience at a summer program for high school students that exposed us to different career fields in health care. Listening to the representatives’ seemingly endless enthusiasm for their profession and learning about how they apply their knowledge really gave me a grasp of what a fulfilling career can be. While a pharmacist was not among the health care representatives in the program, this experience allowed me to better appreciate health care.
