My Career As A Nurse

5 years from now my career goal that I have set for myself is to graduate from an approved nursing program and pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become a Registered Nurse (RN). After graduation I hope to be promoted at the hospital I am woking at to start working as a registered nurse

A career trajectory is a formalized plan for a successful transition into a career path that an individual has chosen. Likewise, the goal of nursing is to improve health through the advancement of knowledge therefore, improving the safety, effectiveness, and the access for healthcare. In combining these two definitions, a career trajectory in nursing advancement is to allow for clarity of direction and expected outcomes in a career by meeting the goals to advance in the healthcare field. In order to build a successful career as an advanced practitioner an individual must consider the requirements of the position and make strategic decisions in order to facilitate progression towards this goal (Feetham & Doering, 2015).

Most people ask the question, "Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?" to determine what you see as your future goals. Before, I would answer this question with the most outlandish responses but as time has gone by, I have grown. I have come to the realization of where I truly envision myself. I see myself aspiring to accomplish my career goal of becoming a Nurse Anesthetist. Now, it may seem ridiculous that I have gone from seeing things such as becoming famous, to actually determining a career for myself. However, I had to transition my process of thinking. I had taken the time to really evaluate my life. I looked back at all the courses I had taken over the course of my undergraduate degree and the trials and tribulations from being

My vision for myself as a nurse is that I will care for all patients holistically. I will allow the patient to participate and input ideas into his or her care. I will allow patients to incorporate some of their experiences from their personal lives, and alter my care based on those experiences. I will see the patient as a unique human being and treat all patients with respect and dignity. I will encompass the values that I embrace in everything I do. I will be accountable for my actions and practice within the scope of my license.

I cannot attribute my desire of becoming a nurse to following the footsteps of a family member, nor caring for a sick family member as I was growing up. I am a first generation high school student, furthermore, a college graduate. I became a mother at the very young age of sixteen. Being so young and growing up without the care of my parents, it was always said I, too, would end up in a rough situation and not be able to care for my child being so young myself. I continued out my days and nights being a high school teen mom. I graduated from high school in three years by attending night school while I was pregnant; allowing me to finish school sooner and obtain a better job that would allow me to take care of my son.

The nursing field gives a person the opportunity to work with and care for elderly, sick, and injured patients. I want to join the registered nurse team because they take on multiple medical settings. Registered nurses are known as RNs. They are responsible for multiple things. Being a RN has a lot of responsibility. The topics I will be covering are: job description, specialties, trends, salary, benefits, and required trainings. These are essential things that a person needs to know before going into nursing school.

Your choices will affect you throughout your life, whether it is a big or small decision. For example, it could be something simple like eating fast food for the third time this week or it could be important like going to an interview for a new job position. When you are young, you change your mind every chance you get. This might be why deciding what job you want for the rest of your life is difficult. Currently, 1. I want to be a RN, which is a registered nurse. Registered nurses do a lot to help their community and the people in it. With this job, I would be able to give back to the community by helping people. This makes me feel like I would be a better person.

My lifetime goal is to become a Registered Nurse since I was 18 years old, but, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to go college, but to go to a technical school and get a medical assistant degree. Since then, I worked in many different doctors’ office in Florida as a Medical Assistant until 2 years ago when I met my husband and moved to Maryland. Luckily, with my husband's support, I have been having the opportunity to go back to school and continue my education.

My vision for myself as a nurse is that I will continue to grow and learn ways to be empathic. My desire is to always put my patient well being above my own. To live out my philosophy of nursing, every day I must remember that when I go to work it is not about me. It doesn’t matter what I am going through or what I am dealing with, when I step onto the

I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older and looked at many choices in careers I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body along with other great opportunities that nurses have in this career. I want to become a nurse because I like being able to help those who are in need.

My career plans are centered in the future of the citizens that I would like to help with their needs and seeing them to better health, which is a career for dedicated , reliable trusting people who are able to develop relationships with patients.

Ive always wanted a rewarding career that revolved around helping people. I want to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner. I am not sure on what specialty I want. So given a assignment in my Introduction Health Sciences class where I have to shadow a nurse practitioner, it gives me the opportunity to explore a specialty and see what it really is like in their typical work day. An advanced practice registered nurse, by the name of Mary Carlson at Parkland Medical Center was willing to let me shadow her for a day. Carlson graduated with her BSN from Boston College. She then pursued a graduate degree from Boston University. Her official title is, Nurse Practitioner, Emergency Medicine.

My professional development plan is to grow as a nurse by obtaining knowledge through school and daily life and work experiences. In five to 10 years, I will be able care for patients and their families as a nurse practitioner. Setting short-term and long-term goals will help guide through the journey to transition into the role of professional nursing and provide new opportunities for the future. Beliefs and values influence the decisions or choices people make in their personal and professional lives. My philosophy of nursing incorporates my beliefs and values, which includes being an advocate for patients and

As for myself, I am currently still learning the technology of the profession as a student nurse. As I continue with my schooling, I hope to endure a broad variety of cultural diversities so I can work on the second goal as well. I feel like I am further along with goal number three than any of the others. I go about with a professional and respectful manner in my daily life. With the last goal, I believe I am on my way, but I hope to improve and continue to influence this in my daily life. Overall, I can always work harder to become a better student, nurse, and educator to my patients.

When I started school a few years back, I wasn’t really sure if becoming an RN was something I really wanted. I’m compassionate, caring, and friendly, but somehow I was still unsure if I was going to fit in this kind of environment. I asked people who were already in the nursing field about their opinions on this career. I searched around to know the good and bad about becoming a nurse. I wanted to know what to expect. I wanted to find a sign, a specific word or line that tells me “This is what you should do”. But I realize that the main point here is to focus on me. I needed to know what I wanted, and what I enjoy doing. I was too busy and confused listening to other’s people opinions and experiences that I forgot to listen to my own opinion. I forgot to listen to my own voice. Who am I? What do I want? What makes me happy? So I start looking at myself and see the qualities I have. I’m friendly. I talked to everyone. I’m generous and caring. I have compassion for others in need. Helping people overcome their problems fills my heart with joy. I want everyone to be happy because I believe that if everyone is happy I will be too. All this qualities seem fitting to be a nurse, but do I have what it takes? Am I strong enough to do such duties that required to take care of a patient? Health wise, I don’t have a chronic disease, nor do I feel weak to carry such a long hour’s shift. “I’m ok”, “I can do this” I though. I’m smart and I
