The team and I openly discussed various techniques and further training options that would enhance our skills to deal with such a situation. Our recommendations for further training was agreed and approved by the team’s
Science and medicine has always fascinated me and has been interesting to be since my education started as a child. All my cousins used to play video games, playing house, playing cards, but instead I always forced everyone on pretending my patients and me treating them and caring for them as a doctor. I also wanted my family members to act if they were sick and they needed help. As time passed, I no longer had to play as it was the reality now and they really now needed help. I have witnessed my family members, my grandmother who passed away due to heart attack at an early age, my other grandmother who currently is sick, my grandfather who passed away also due to heart attack.
Staring down at the baby; my baby in his little plastic box, I was overcome by a fear I had never felt before. I would later find out that his box was called and isolate, a special bed for premature babies. His eyes were covered with gauze, he had a tube in his nose that was assisting his breathing, and he was so small. Awestruck, I watched his slight movements. His mouth moved as if he was searching for something. His tiny hands grasped for something to hold on to. I slowly reached my finger to his hand and he clutched it with all of his little might. His grasp sent shock waves of love through my body that I had never experienced in my life. I was a mother.

Before being introduced into the medical field, I had always seen myself as an engineer. Growing up I was fascinated by how everything worked. When something would break down I would be the first with a screw driver in my hand ready to take it apart. Of course being at such a young age, I would often worsen the situation than fix it, but the thrill and excitement from fixing a broken object meant the world to me. I thought becoming an engineer was my lifelong passion.

I think being a physician assistant will challenge me to improve the lives of my patients by providing appropriate medical care while forming meaningful relationships..
I have been passionate about working in healthcare since childhood.

A specialty nursing area that currently sparks my interest is Orthopedics. Ever since I began my career in healthcare, I have been fascinated by the orthopedic surgery field. This interest for the field motivated me to seek a position on an orthopedic floor as a nursing assistant. After some time of conducting local job searches I found out that Lourdes Medical Center was getting ready to open an orthopedic unit and they were looking to fill various positions. Since I have always been loyal to Lourdes Medical Center not only because it’s the hospital where all my family was born, but also because I have always had wonderful experiences with them during times of illness, I decided that it was the hospital where I wanted to work.

Therefore a characteristic that every health care provider should possess is self-motivation to pursue knowledge for personal development to help themselves and others grow. My natural curiosity in life and eagerness to continually educate and improve myself makes me a wonderful candidate for your direct-entry master’s of nursing program.
Medicine is arguably one of the most rewarding fields in that it combines the pursuit of scientific knowledge with the possibility to work with and improve the lives of people from all walks of life. This integration with practical aspects of the profession, including being the line of communication for scared, frustrated and vulnerable patients, makes medicine simply unique. My fascination about the scientific nature of medicine was inspired by a desire to learn more about the intricacy of the human brain - particularly psychological disorders such as stress. What interested me was how coping techniques differed between individuals and how this could impact potential treatments.
This essay will reflect on a critical incident from practice from the view of myself, a student nurse. No identifiable details about patients, nurses or context are included, thereby assuring their confidentiality which is protected by the Code (2015) and Data Protection Act (1998).
