Health Care Career

Growing up in an underserved community made me realize the blessing of a quality education and good physicians. Having faced an arduous medical diagnosis has given me the ability to look at things from a special perspective. Rocky beginnings in community college accompanied by time off from school allowed me to work fulltime

Joining sides with the nurse, my family drilled the idea of nursing into my brain. Nursing and forfeiting my plan seemed to become a necessity for a successful life. After hearing people tell me what I should do, I eventually started to agree with them. The actions of my family along with the way it affected me could compare to when someone tells a lie enough times, they'll believe it to be true. I never believed I wanted to be something more than I did at that

Neither of my parents attended college, but my sister became a nurse and created a glass ceiling that I never thought I would be able to shatter. As I was pushed towards a nursing degree and told that it was “good enough” I failed and blundered through my first few years of college. I didn’t want to be a nurse and I knew that in my heart I wouldn’t be happy with the profession, so I took a break and became a nanny for a child with autism. I traveled the world with this little boy and after two years had passed I became more confident and ready to fight for my dreams.

As doctors are put into hospitals to keep patients alive and healthy, Hospital Administrators are put in hospitals to keep the facility alive and healthy. The day- to- day job of a Hospital Administrator is rigorous and detail oriented. He or she was chosen to keep the hospital operating efficiently, within budget while keeping many parties happy at the same time. Hospital Administrators work long and odd hours, possibly

Hard work and empathy were instilled in me at a young age and ultimately have guided my life decisions. I always knew I wanted a career doing something that involved helping people and left me feeling that I made a difference in their lives. I finished my undergraduate degree in Nutrition, but in the end lacked passion for the profession. Following a personal experience with an Occupational Therapist, I was able to see the positive outcome she had on my grandfathers recovery which lead me to pursue my career in occupational therapy.

Using the SMART method, my long term goal is to continue my work as a CNA while applying for healthcare administrator positions. I would like to work as an administrator for at least 3 years for any medical setting. While working, I will be looking into ways on how I can own and operate a home healthcare agency. According to Marak, (2017), I really don’t need to have experience in the medical industry; I would just need to have the passion for providing care, the marketing savvy, an understanding of business knowledge, and integrity. With my CNA experience, along with my other work experiences, I am half way there.

The Academy of Health Professions is a program, I would like to be part of to give me a “jumpstart” on the classes I’m using to gain my college degree. The career paths I have chosen for myself neurologist or a pediatric surgeon. While in this program I will complete college prerequisites in high school.

I come from a family filled with people in health-related careers. From a young age, I was always fascinated by my mom and aunt’s stories and recollection of their experiences and accomplishments in their health-related careers. Their stories not only amazed me they also sparked my interest in the health professions. During the summers my mom always took on home health nursing and the summer of my freshman year in high school she invited me to accompany while she tended to her patients. Through that I was able to see firsthand what nursing was all about and that influenced my decision to be a nurse.

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.

I remember one sunny California afternoon, we were sitting on a park bench. She looked at me with her crystal blue eyes. She said “James, I will always be with you.” I knew

When I was 14 I was staying in a double room in Memorial with another girl. She was 16 and had lung cancer, which at this point was quickly spreading to the rest of her body with the doctors at a loss on how to stop it. Her name was Melissa and we very quickly became friends. She was checked in about 3 weeks before I arrived, and it certainly didn’t seem like she was leaving anytime soon, despite how badly she protested that how she was living wasn’t actually living. We didn’t really talk much the first couple of days I was there but on the fifth day she asked me the most asked question among patients in hospital, “So what are you in here for?”

The choice of pursuing a medical career came naturally to me. Both of my parents are doctors and they have been the inspiration for my own journey to pursue a career in medicine. However, with many subfields, the medical field is quite expansive and over the years I have found that a few particular medical concepts have heightened my intellectual interest.

It's really important to be in a health career in today's society, today's society is rough are economy is getting rough also pricing are becoming ridiculous high soon people that are working lower class jobs won't be able to afford to live so i find it important to be in a  health career because you're making a decent amount of money. In today's society people are continuously getting hurt not being careful with out doctors and nurses there would be no one to treat the hurting people.
