Christian University Journey

Pursuing a career in nursing brings me an internal satisfaction beyond words. I enjoy being around people and I feel with my caring and empathetic soul, I can use that to heal the mind, body and souls of my patients. My reason for wanting to return to college comes from my desire to be in a position to make an impact on someone’s life. In my current position I provide assistance to individuals on a daily basis, but it is not satisfying my need to help heal. I am currently 30 years old and I love children and I am eager to work with children and when I would like to know about their little bodies so that I can be aware of how to help them. I naturally have the need to nurture and protect others. I have 2 nieces and when each of them was born I was so impressed by the level of care that the NICU nurses provided to

Ridgewood High School is not exactly the perfect school. The school is full of delinquents, guns, and drugs. Lunch period was the prime time for trouble. The sound of the glass shattering from the window awoke the whole school. The people started to gather around the three boys creating the commotion. One of boys Douglas, a big, mean bully was heaving rocks at two boys Glen and Taylor. Glen is a smart fella who wants absolutely zero trouble. His only desire is getting into MIT. Taylor is the starting wide receiver for the football team and tries to protect Glen. During Lunch, Douglas pushes Glen to the ground and Taylor steps in front of Douglas in attempt to stop him. In the end, there were a couple bloody noses and several broken windows. On the other end of the school, Davis is waiting to sell Kevin marijuana. Davis really needs the money and Kevin has nothing going for him. He cuts class, abuses drugs and flat out does not care. After their exchange, behind them stands the school narcotics officer.

As I had posted in Workshop One, my son’s accident led me to think about the area of nursing. In the 1980’s, I was still working in the area of retail management, and pursuing a business degree on a part-time basis, when another life-altering event occurred. Having experienced seven miscarriages over the years, I feel each of my children is here for a reason. I was told that I would not be able to have another child after complications during the birth of my oldest son. I was out of town when I began to experience terrible stomach pain we decided to cut our trip short and

I would like to be considered for admission to this Colorado Christian University because I believe that it will be a perfect fit for me. I will have the opportunity to receive a degree and strengthen myself in the Word of God. For many years, I have been interested in studying Psychology. My interest in pursuing this field stems from many factors, but the number one reason will be my love for people. I consider myself to be big hearted and a compassionate person. God has blessed me with a caring spirit. I have love for people and I desire to be a helping hand to as many people I can reach. For many years I have found myself working with foster children or taking care of those who needed caregiver assistance and I want to go further. I believe

Statistics show that anywhere from 40%-80% of high school Christians abandon their faith within their first year of college. This is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. The youth of today and tomorrow need strong Christian leaders who are able to fortify their faith before moving away into the real world. There are three key factors that lead to this high percentage: Students are unprepared, they are in a more hostile environment, and our natural inclination to sin and fall away from God to pursue our own worldly passions. Students, who cannot effectively defend their faith, are going into a more hostile environment with less Christians and are being offered alternative world views that allow them to follow their own desires. We can’t do a lot to change their environment or human nature, but we can build up young Christians.

Plato argues against retaliation using two assumed premises and a deduced premise. The argument takes the following form:

Pam: Are Christian Colleges Accredited? Attending a Christian college will appeal to students who are interested in things like quiet dignity, academic integrity, wholesome values and community engagement. Christian colleges are not boring, conservative and unaccredited institutions that exclude non-members. Most Christian colleges successfully integrate secular learning and academic standards with theological concepts and positive religious values. Accreditation The Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) have approved six regional accrediting agencies.

In Is Multitasking Bad For Us, it states, “...multitasking is something done capably though not comfortably” (Keim). This quote shows that it's okay to multitask when you are in a rush but you may not understand what you are doing as good as if you didn't multitask. Therefore; people often do it because they have to because they don’t have time to do things one by one. Not to mention, this isn’t the only time people multitask because they are in a rush. In Teens Can Multitask, But What Are The Costs, students explain how they feel about multitasking by saying, “...multitasking makes them feel more productive and less stressed” (Aratani). People often get stressed because they have tons of stuff to do, but when you are multitasking you get things done faster and efficiently. My friend was in a rush to get ready for school one day and she had to straighten her hair in the car while

There are many different events as well as experiences within my life that will give me a positive influence on my academic work with Colorado Christian University. The one that stands out is not really a single event, but many different events that happened in a very short amount of time. About four or five years ago I was a single boy living at my parent’s house, working at a grocery store and sleeping till noon on my days off. I was pretty content with my life to be honest. I did not have much of a plan or any direction for my future and I was not worried about not having a clue as to what it was I wanted to do with my life. I was dating my wife at the time and we had been pretty serious for a while. I finally proposed to her and we got

Honestly, I never thought I would be a nurse. More so, I never thought I would have a college degree, as no one in my family had even attempted college before. I shared my desire to attend college with my high school English teacher, and with her guidance I applied for scholarships and received three upon graduating along with financial aid, which was important due to my family’s economic situation. As my college graduation neared, my dreams of applying to medical school were put on hold when my sister left her two small children in my care while she struggled to find work. My family was my priority, and I could not bare the thought of abandoning them in their time of need, even if it meant putting my future on hold. I decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree of Nursing at UTMB so I could stay close to home. Nursing seemed like the most obvious career choice to get first-hand experience and patient interaction in the medical field. Shortly after starting the nursing program, my father was diagnosed

To be quite honest, I do not know how to answer this question, but I will do my best.

The experience I gained in the two years working there was priceless. From the common cold to heart attacks, I saw a wide network of disease processes and illnesses. I enjoyed my job and made strong ties with my coworkers, yet the desire inside me to acquire more knowledge in this nursing career that I loved would not be silenced. Although six months pregnant, I was accepted into the newly named Belmont College transitional program, going from Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse. Nothing could stop me from obtaining my dreams. Now I had a new force pushing me: my daughter. Many nights were spent studying under lampposts as I drove around with my colicky newborn. Struggling as a newly single mother of an infant, working part-time in home healthcare, and going to nursing school full-time challenged me more as a person than I ever thought was possible. Despite every obstacle, I would not be shaken. I set out to become the best nurse I could become and was determined to

Paul feels that there is a great need for church mission; Church missions trips are a blessing on both sides of the wall. It’s a blessing for the people in the church that are doing the mission cause they have a chance to see the world, help, give back, and also have the opportunity to help other people out. Missions trips can help a person grow in their faith, get closer to God and even mature. The mission trip can open up eyes to the church and even the people on the mission trip. Some one told me that the mission trip is not always for the community who the mission is for but it’s for the one that is going on the mission trip. A mission trip is another way for God to community with you and other people. God can show you a lot on a mission

My husband has often said that God has send me to him so that I would look after him. In a way, some of that may be true. Soon after meeting my husband, I started massage therapy school and became a licensed massage therapist. For the first year of working as a massage therapist, I felt that I was helping others; however, I soon realized that something was missing. The more time I spent going to doctors’ appointments with my husband, whose health kept getting worse, the more I realized that the time had come to go to nursing school. I knew that there was a chance that I may not get into the program. Furthermore, I realized that even if I was accepted, there was a possibility of not finishing. I was accepted into the program, and did finish. No matter how tough things got at times, God always provided and was by my side. I know there is a reason for why I became a nurse, and believe that because my husband and I have both been a patient, I understand the importance of being there for people. Sometimes just a little smile or a gentle touch can make such a difference. I hope that once I graduate from this program, I can continue to make a difference in people’s lives, and teach and guide

“Follow your passion; it will lead you to your purpose,” Oprah Winfrey. My passion leading me to a degree in healthcare management has been the love I have for my son. Becoming a single mother, shortly before my son turned two-years-old, was life altering. Moving back in with my family, realizing I had no income, and no longer the team effort from his father, was an indescribable sense of failure as a parent.
