I Loved Being An Aid

I came to America from Vietnam when I was just three years old. I spent a majority of my life with my grandma, who has always taught me the importance of helping others. She always told me to have; you must give, and if you have nothing to give, you can always give your time. This phase has been a huge guide in my life, and it has truly shaped me into who I am. At a young age, I always felt that my purpose in life was to help people. After attending many doctor visits with my grandma for her health check-ups, I was confident my future occupation would be in the medical field. During these frequent doctor visits, I had the chance to watch the interactions and cooperation among different healthcare professionals in different settings. Being in this inspiring environment, I hoped one day I could mirror them and make a difference in people’s lives and the community. Although I have always wanted to help those in need, I was uncertain of what specific career role would allow me to fulfill my passion for helping others.

I want to pursue my health care career in Nursing. I always dreamed of being a nurse, because I enjoy working and caring for people. Ever since I was a little girl I carried a toy stethoscope around and havin my family be my patients. I was not like any other kid, who played with barbies and kenn. My mom even knew I was going to fall in the great path of the health care. My potential is to have the greatest affect on others who are in need of my help. Also, I chose nursing to be my health career, because I have seen the real path of nursing in the real world. Attending a vocational high school, has given me a chance to enter the health assisting program. A four year high school program has put an outrageous affect on me. I learned how to practice

I have always wanted to be a nurse: I do not think there is any task that is as satisfying as treating a patient physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I first pursued my LPN, and immediately I knew I had chosen the right career path. Every day, no matter how tired and weary I felt at the end of the day, I was invigorated by the sense that I had made a positive change in the lives of my patients. To build upon my capabilities to help others, I then pursued my RN. I am currently in an RN-BSN program and hope to begin a graduate program subsequently to become a family nurse practitioner.

I aspire to become a nurse through the wonderful BSN program at California Baptist University. Why I aspire to be a nurse is because I want to be a useful person in this world. There are very few careers where you can have such a tremendous impact on someone's life every day. Working hard to make a difference in people's lives who are in need. Also health sciences is a topic that really interest me, learning about the human body and how we function is very fascinating. I hope to reach my highest potential in education with the help of California Baptist University.

I have been able to see the joy on a child’s face when they finally make a shot, the joy on their face when they learn how and when to cross the street, and the joy on their face when they realize that they have the potential to be anything they want to be in life. Being able to watch this all happen has allowed me to realize that I want to see these kinds of amazing reactions every day for the rest of my life. On top of this, I want to be the one to allow them to have this reaction. To me, it is the best feeling in the world when I know that I have helped someone do something they felt they couldn’t do before. This being said, my volunteer work has persuaded me into the direction of the medical field. I feel this has happened because the medical field gives me an enormous variety of ways to impact lives

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.

Growing up my dream was to become a nurse because I have always loved to take care of people. I also just knew when I finally started my nursing career I could save the world, While in nursing school, I quickly learned

There has always been a desire for in me to help others who can be in difficult situations or in need of help. This desire has pushed me to pursue a career within the social work field. There have been numerous instances in my life, where I took the chance to help others before helping myself. Whether these instances dealt with my family, friends, peers or strangers, I have always seen the worth in helping others. Putting others before myself has always been an enjoying experience because I am able to be selfless and provide opportunities to others who might not have the resources or help to do so. Knowing that I can have a great impact on others’ lives by directing them to resources or listening to their experiences excites me because I want

In high school I became aware that I wanted to do something in the healthcare field. I realized that a job like that would be extremely rewarding in so many ways. I first looked into nursing. Nursing is an amazing field and so many people are well equipped to take on this job, however I am not one of

Why did you choose to practice nursing? Throughout my 2015 fall semester, I really enjoyed the pre-requisites as a Pre-med major. Entering my 2016 spring semester, I began to struggle and question if this was really what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have always known I wanted to be in the medical field however; I just did not know what field. So I began to think exactly what I wanted to do. My mom is a dental assistant, so I thought about going into dental hygiene. So I job shadowed and instantly I knew that was not what I wanted to do. I went home that night and began researching majors. I thought about Physicians Assistant. I job shadowed a Southern Bone and Joint and realized I did not want to do that either. After job shadowing, I became very discouraged and began to pray and ask God to guide me where he wants me to serve. I really never considered becoming a nurse. I actually told my parents that I knew that I did not want to be a nurse. However, God had other plans for me. I talked to many people about nursing and what all it had to offer. I have always been a caring person that wants to help those in need and I believe nursing is the perfect profession for me. So I began to finish my pre-requisites and researched some nursing schools. I have always wanted to attend the University of Southern Mississippi. I love the people and the Golden Eagle spirit. After many

I have always known that the opportunity to help people will be the most important quality in my future occupation. Being a social and helpful person, I never miss an opportunity to help someone in need because I enjoy seeing a smile on someone’s face who was worried only a few minutes prior and to know that you had a role in helping this person is the most satisfying pleasure in the world to me. As I was choosing a field, I was certain in one thing, I wanted an occupation that would give me a chance to use my intellectual potential and enthusiasm to help others.

When I was in high school, my great-grandmother became ill and came to live with us. Before school, after school, and during the weekend, I helped take care of her. This gave me a sense of pride and during that time, I realized how fulfilling it is to help people. I did not start out on the path to be a part of the medical profession, but I always had the desire! I have often given of my time volunteering at the Agape Senior Care facility. Now I am well on my way to becoming a medical assistant (MA)!

I was taught that if you wanted anything, plan, peruse, do your best, never quit, and only then will you achieve your goals. My parents have been that example because of where they came from and the hardship they have gone through. This has molded me into the woman I am becoming to face my fears, grab the wheel, and steer my life into what I want it to be. I’ve always enjoyed helping other people from my many years in volunteering with Red Cross to giving my time to an elderly home. Working with Red Cross I was always put in the mother baby unit, seeing the new infants and getting to see the nurses having fun with their jobs I decided to pick a career I enjoy. Volunteering at a elderly made me realize how much I took pleasure in taking care of other peoples’ family members while they were away.

The moment I realized I wanted to be a nurse was when my wife and I went into the hospital to have our son. Long story short, our first nurse had horrible bedside manner causing my wife to have a nervous breakdown. Later, her shift ended and we had the most wonderful nurse that put my wife at ease. At that moment I realized how much of an impact that I could have on someone who is possibly experiencing the worst time of their life, and possibly help to put them more at ease. I am a truly compassionate person, and the ability to have an impact on a person’s life is what I believe to be my life’s calling. I feel that I was blessed with the ability to remain calm under situations of extreme duress and I believe this would serve me well in my carrier. Lastly, I have the opportunity to be the first in my family to graduate from college setting an example for my son of the importance of an

I have had many life experiences that have influenced my interest in becoming a nurse. My father is a family physician in the semi-rural area where I grew up. As I became old enough to participate, I had chances to assist my dad in minor procedures and clerical office management. I have also assisted my father outside of the office in helping to stitch up siblings and other family members after minor accidents occurred. I knew early on that one of my desires and strengths would be to challenge myself mentally while being able to empathize with others and provide a valuable service to them. While assisting my dad, I had the opportunity to engage all types of different people. I enjoyed learning about their physical and emotional strengths
