My Career Path For A Nurse

As far as I remember I would always play nurse with my siblings and make them feel better. When my parents would take me to the store to pick up a toy, I always picked band-aids and pretend doctor kit. My long-term career is becoming a Registered Nurse, and my short-term career is the career I currently have as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

To be a nurse practitioner, an RN needs such as a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). The current minimum education required as a Nurse Practitioner is an MSN degree, which takes 3-4 years to complete, depending on your specialty. Many graduated schools desire students to have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) for entrance into nurse practitioner program, while other schools allow a bachelor's degree in another field if you are already a registered nurse. As a current RN-BSN student in UTA, I’ve researched and decided after graduating with my BSN; I plan to work on the pediatric unit which the specialty that I want to practice in the future.

Who you are and what do you want to do with your life is a question asked early on in most people’s lives. For this question there is no certain answer. It is all dependent on the individual. Career-wise there are many options ranging from scientific research to professional sports. For many, a career in the medical field is a perfectly viable option. Jobs here, sit at the forefront of medical science, offers a chance to give back to the health of the human population, as well as offer opportunities in administration or business ownership. Here, we will take a look at at Advanced Practice Registered Nursing.

Some say that we are better at the individually focused aspects of this policy than at social justice, that our past shows a commitment to social justice not currently found in our profession (Bekemeier and Butterfield, 2005).I disagree with Bekemeier and Butterfield, the new version of the Code sets out a role for nursing in terms of social justice and this is the right path for our profession to follow. Historical public health nursing leaders such as Lillian Wald, Florence Nightingale, and Lavinia Dock provide great examples of nurses who look to improving social conditions that have deleterious effects on health in the vulnerable population. The ANA points to ways in which nurses can promote health by educating the public and joining legislative forces to promote health. For example as a bedside nurse, I see daily how a social problem becomes a health problem such as homelessness, lack of cultural sensitivity, and abuse.

This course is something that will be very important for my career as a Registered Nurse. I plan to try my hardest and do my very best in this course. By the end of the course I expect to be able to properly communicate using medical terminology. The only experience I have with medical terminology is an anatomy class I took in high school. I retained the information well and I still remember most of the words I learned in that class, because I knew they would be important to know later on.

There are many factors that attribute to my desire to pursue a career in nursing. My personal experiences in health care settings, both as a patient and as a volunteer, brought to my attention my strong desire to live a life that will impact others in a positive way. A career in nursing is a perfect channel through which I can fulfill this desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

My career choice would be to obtain my license as a registered nurse (RN). This career’s consist of gruesome hours, nerve wrecking patients and co-workers that not might not be the easiest to get along with. Working as a registered nurse entails that I would be supervising CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). The RN works under the doctor, I would consult with the doctor to find the best treatment plan for the resident/patient. I would perform multiple test and screenings to make necessary moves to provide the resident/patients with the best medical care.

In your nursing career or personal life, have you volunteered your services? If so, please describe the facility and your experience. If not, why?

A Nurse (RN/BSN) is a health care professional who always taking cares for sick people, disabled individuals including children, their families, their communities while make sure that these people attain and continue to maintain the best health and functioning possible. RNs direct patient care per Physician modalities. RNs also administer and manage medication for the sick and needy population including patient and family education, basic assessments of care needs. RNs must also stay up to date with new technology and tools. These skills help nurses provide the best care to patients and families and the best support to doctors and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of their patient.

My educational goals are to receive my Associates Degree in Nursing at Shelton State Community College so that I can work as a Registered Nurse. After working as a Registered Nurse for at least two-years, I plan on returning to school to obtain my bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. Becoming a Nurse is more of a calling then just a job or a career for me. I have worked in the healthcare field as a Certified Nursing Assistant since I was eighteen years old. I have known that I’ve wanted to be a Registered Nurse since I was fourteen when I helped take care of my sick grandmother. Becoming a Nurse is very important to me because I have a passion for taking care of people and I know that I can make a big difference in people’s life.

Nurses play a vital role in healthcare. They are the patient’s advocate and act as the patient’s “eyes and ears”. Pictured here, is Mark, a Registered Nurse working in the Schulich Heart Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, preparing medications for his patients. Making sure the correct medication is administered at the right time is an integral part of a patient's recovery. On his unit, patients are primarily admitted under three services: cardiology, cardiac surgery, and vascular surgery. His ward in particular only has registered nurses as the patients are very acute and registered nurses have more education and training than a registered practical nurse. His daily activities include administering medications, tracking vital signs,

During my term in school I have often thought about what department of nursing I would like to go into, but I did not put too much thought into the steps it would take to become a nurse in Illinois. I have been so focused on being a mom of four, going through nursing school and keeping my job (not in medical) of eleven years that I haven’t had a real mental opportunity to consider how I will retain a holistic life balance, which stressors or challenges I may face, how I will continue to learn throughout my life as a nurse, nor what type of contributions I can make as a professional nurse. Through researching these questions, I have learned a lot about, the process and myself.

name is Linda Herron and I prefer Linda. I live in Delmar, NY and have been working as a nurse for 24 years. My career began on a medical surgical/telemetry floor, but I have also worked in home care, a skilled nursing facility and at home specializing in workers’ compensation cases. Currently, I work for an insurance company as a telephonic case manager and was recently promoted to a supervisory role. At this time, I am unsure what my professional interests are. My hope is that pursuing my bachelor’s degree, will broaden my interests and help me discover opportunities to further my career.

A job can consist of many different responsibilities and duties. However, we all have at least one job or dream job that we truly love. When comparing my current job to the job I will have ten years from now, I see several differences, such as the enjoyment of work, the income, and the level of stress.

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).
