Making A Difference In The Medical Field

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

Registered nursing has always been something interesting to me. Ever since I was little I’ve always hated going to the doctors’ office because my doctor always had cold hands and the smell just made me grossed out. I think me not liking the doctors’ office is what made me want to be a nurse because as I got older I realized that doctors and nurses are just there to help you and that’s all what I want to do is help. This career is important in many ways as well because RNs’ help people when they are hurt, sick, and sometimes even when someone is dying. My dad used to be an RN’s assistant and he has talked to me about the job. He told me that the amount of children he helped over choking issues or allergies was incredible. I was told that if I was to see how many lives he helped saved I'd be amazed. Once he told me this I realized

I have wanted to be a nurse since I got sick in 5th grade. I had lost kidney function, I was dehydrated, and had lost 25-30lbs in one weekend. I had to be hospitalized for a week and a half. And the nurses helped me through more than I could have ever expected. They helped me with emotional issues, feminine issues, personal issues, and so much more than they should have ever expected. And between the ages of 9 to 15 I was in and out of the hospital and the only people I can remember who helped me the most was the nurses. All nurses have at least one thing in common—they want to help people. Not only do they play the role of caretaker for their patients, but in some circumstances, they can also be a friend, a confidante and a trusted adviser. It takes a special kind of person to fill all of those roles the way

Being in the medical field is something my family has been in for a few generations now. My grandmother once worked in a nursing home, and my aunts were both nursing assistants. My mother has been in the medical field since she was sixteen, starting in a nursing home, and then becoming a nursing assistant until 2007. Shortly afterwards, she became a medical assistant that she currently still is today. It can only but inspire me to be working in the medical field next. I wanted to be a neurologist first, then a psychologist, but with the amount of schooling and how much debt I’d be in, I thought it through and figured out I want to be a nurse practitioner. They have similar duties to a registered nurse except they give advanced services to patients, and it can be cheaper going to medical school as well as having to go for a shorter amount of time than a regular doctor as well as great benefits and salary.

My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

Typically, when someone hears ‘medical field’, automatically you think of people with white lab coats and a stethoscope around their neck ready to take your vitals. Obviously this comes to mind because these doctors and surgeons are the face of the medical field, but in reality there is so much more. There are actually about 300 different occupations one can have in the health care field. A large part of that is nurses. Nurses are the basis of the medical field; they are almost as important as the patients themselves. They have always been a major part of our lives. Nurses have been with us since we first opened our eyes, from birth to broken bones, nurses were there. They have very difficult and extensive careers, they dedicate their lives to their work and to their patients. Some nurses spend long nights away from their family and friends to help others, at times their shifts can last as long as 24 hours. In my opinion nurses are the real super heroes, for this reason I have decided to pursue a major in nursing. I still have a lot to learn and many years of schooling to go, but personally its worth the wait.

Becoming involved in the medical field is something that has always interested me. Whether it was just learning new things about the human body or the idea of being able to help take care of someone. The human body itself is one of the most complex things and we are constantly learning new things about it all the time. When you are given the opportunity to become a nurse, you learn about all the things that

My name is Sergo Colin and am a junior nursing major working towards a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and then Registered Nursing Certification. I am from (City/State, Country) and currently reside in (City, State, etc.). I work as an Assistant Director of Nursing in a Skilled Nursing Facility. From an early age, I knew I was interested in helping people; my parents tell stories of helping to tend to the neighborhood animals, real or stuffed, and my fascination with anything with a medical theme on television. As I matured, I knew that I wanted to be in one of the healing professions, but it seemed to me that many physicians and specialists, while certainly a vital part of the healthcare paradigm, are more and more distanced from the patient due to staffing and fiscal issues. Modern nursing, though, has changed drastically from even a few decades ago. The modern nurse is no simply an assistant to the physician, but an integral part of the communication and advocacy process with the patient, the patient's family, indeed - all the stakeholders surrounding the issue of the best care possible for the client.

It has always been a dream of mine to work in healthcare in some capacity. I was raised in a family of educators, but I felt a calling for the medical field at an early age. I have vivid memories of visiting family members in the hospital when I was younger. I was fascinated by the professionals who cared for my family. I wanted to have their jobs one day. However, I wasn’t sure where I would find my passion in healthcare when I was that young. I started exploring different healthcare professions as early as middle school, but I only touched the surface of what was available. When I started college I thought that nursing would be a good fit for me. However, I began to question my desire to become a nurse as I started to learn more about other

When I first started college, I had several questions I asked myself regarding my future. I thought about what my major would be and what my living arrangements would look like post-grad, but I never questioned what my future career would look like. While I had an overwhelming amount of options, I always had a fixed certainty that I would be in the medical field. The only question was in what capacity? Coming in as a freshman, I could have studied to be a surgeon, a doctor, or even a medical lawyer. Ultimately, I knew that changing people’s lives through medicine was my passion—I just needed to find an outlet. However, not once did my 18-year-old self think that I would find my way into a nursing career. As I’ve come to find, life rarely works out as planned. What lead me on the pathway to becoming a nurse is all but conventional, yet I would not change any

As a young child, I always knew that when I grew up I wanted a career that would allow me to help others. While in the hospital undergoing surgeries and treatment for my skin cancer, I encountered a variety of different nurses. Some of those nurses were really nice, others were not. The ones who spend some time talking with me, where the ones who made my day much better. It was during that hospital stay that I decided I wanted to become a nurse. I wanted to be the nurse who would make a positive impact in a patient’s life. Due to a number of unforeseen events in my life, I was unable to start nursing school as planned after graduating from high school. I worked in the restaurant business for a number of years and eventually met my husband who was recovering

Every year in my elementary school, I was asked what I wanted to become when I “grew up.” Portrayals of doctors were an easy find and I remember telling my parents and teachers that one day, I was going to be a doctor. As I prepare to start my family nurse practitioner school, I am overjoyed to tell my family and friends that I am finally on the road to becoming a primary health care provider. I remember always wanting to be in the health care field but never fully knew what that entailed. I graduated high school with the intention to become a nurse and I was naïve to think that I was prepared for what was in store.

First, let’s begin by stating that my expectation of a nurse is that he or she must be a good communicator, empathetic, patient and have good physical endurance. I feel that I exemplify these qualities which would make me successful as nurse in the future. As a little girl growing up, I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse. As a young adult, I continue to have the desire so I can help people through some of their most vulnerable times. Also my passion to become a nurse evolves from past experiences that have dramatically impacted my life: for example, my father’s death, my illness, and my personal interaction with nurses.

At a young age, I knew that I always wanted to work in healthcare. From taking my mom’s stethoscope and using it on my sibling, to going to the hospital and asking loads of questions. I realized my desire, but I did not know what part of healthcare I wanted to become a part of. My first thought was to become a doctor because I assumed that they were the sole foundation of a hospital. Little did I know, nurses are hard at work in the background and are doing just as much work as a doctor. My mother herself was a nurse, and watching her was inspirational. She loved her job and was always so excited, which sparked my curiosity about what she did at work. My questions at hospital visits grew more and more, till I finally came to the rationalization

My whole life I have always wanted to do something where people will remember me. I went threw millions of career choices before I came to the conclusion of a nurse. It’s not something that will get me into History books, but its something where all the people I help will remember what I did to care for them or their loved ones. My mom went to school to become and RN, but dropped out when she became pregnant with me. After that story was told to me, I didn’t want to be anything related to nursing. It wasn’t until my step mom went to school to be LPN that I realized it would be possible for me to do. I saw how much happiness it gave her, and I want the same thing. She loved helping the patients by treating them, and helping their families
