My Goal Of Pursuing A Career In Nursing

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).

Since I have been a young girl, I have dreamed of dedicating my life to aid others in health and wellness. Nursing, however has not always been my leading career choice. Career options such as a pediatrician, oncologist, anesthesiologist, etc. have been considered in my pursuit of finding the proper career path, but through all the consideration I have never lost my true passion of helping others. Through careful examination of these various careers, I discovered that I wanted to pursue a career that was more personal and hands-on. I have chosen to pursue a career as a pediatric oncology nurse. Although this career with be both physically and emotionally demanding, I feel that I have made the best choice to become a nurse and devote my life in the pursuit of restoring health and wellness in children battling detrimental diseases.

Becoming a nurse has always been an aspiration of mine, I’ve always wanted a job that uses my caring nature and becoming a nurse seems like the perfect fit. Any job can be rewarding but working in the medical field where you can help save lives, make differences and be supportive at a person’s time of need is at the top of my list when I think of a rewarding career. I am choosing this course because I love learning new things and with a nursing career no day will be the same as the day before, so you will constantly be learning new skills, plus there are many different areas of nursing that you can go in to, so this will enable me to put my skills that I already have in to use but also learn completely new things.

The career that I am interested in going into is nursing. I am already taking the steps in my educational plan to meet my goal by taking all the science classes that are offered at my high school to prepare myself for my career. Another step that I have taken is that I am currently enrolled in a duel credit health occupations class that will lead to achieving my CNA licenses by the time I graduate high school this spring. After maintaining my licenses, I plan to find work as a certified nursing assistant in a hospital or nursing home to further the practice of my career. I would enjoy to attend Lake Land College in Mattoon, Illinois to obtain my Associates Degree in Nursing and receive my Registered Nursing license. I then would like to be

Hi Natasha, I enjoyed reading your post. It sounds like you are a dedicated person, not only to your family, but to yourself and your job as well.

I’m Amber Littlejohn born and raised in Shelby, North Carolina. I am the third oldest out of six children, I am also a twin. I attended Crest Middle School and when I heard of a great opportunity to go to Cleveland Early College High School, I took that opportunity and ran with it. I never thought Cleveland Early College would bring me the opportunities of a lifetime. I will graduate with my high school diploma and my Associates Degree in Arts. I work very hard for the things I want and I want to do better than what my parents did. I know I needed to take every opportunity I can get my hands on because I know my parents can’t afford to pay for my college nor my twin sister. I am a spontaneous and outgoing person I enjoy being around people. I would like to participate in the HEROS program because I think it will give me information that I should know about my future occupation.

Growing up playing with my with my siblings and relatives made me want to pursue a career in Nursing. We would always pretend to work in a Doctor’s office and I would be the nurse. I would always say when I get older I’m going to be a nurse and helper others. So when it comes to choosing a career of my choice, I would like to be a CNA . CNA is abbreviation for Certified Nursing Assistant which job duties consist of providing basic for patients in hospitals, long term facilities such as nursing homes and home health care for the elderly who can’t provide for their selves.

As a graduating senior, I am excited about my future. I have set goals for myself, and I have placed myself on a pathway to meet those goals. I will be attending Appalachian State University in the fall to pursue a career in nursing, and I hope to continue my education to become a Nurse Practitioner. I wouldn’t have been able to reach my goals and keep my feet firmly planted without positive influences in my life--people who have shown me that hard work is worth it and life is worth celebrating. There are many fun opportunities for graduating seniors on graduation night, but the ultimate culminating event for our many years of hard work is Project Graduation.

I began preparing for enrollment in the Associate Degree in Nursing Program at Hartnell College in 2012 when I earned an associate degree from Cabrillo College. After completing the nursing prerequisites, I also attained a bachelor’s degree from San Jose State University. As a result, I developed strong communication and time management skills, which helped me succeed as a student.

My ears focused closely on the words he utters as he stood across the desk and told me that my career path will most likely be Management or Education. Two semesters before this, the dean of the Nursing School told me because I earned a grade of a "D" in anatomy and physiology; I am an ineligible candidate for Nursing School. I will not be able to enroll in any other Nursing school in the state of Georgia for two years. Helpless and afraid, I faced two choices: leave the Georgia and apply to a Nursing School and avoid the two-year wait; or, stay in my current institution and change majors. "Management or teaching are the only career path the test shows I should go into," I replied to the Career Center Director as he read me my career path results from a 30-minute personality test I took in his office a week before.

This position interests me because life is too short to work somewhere without fulfilment. I want to work in Christian Ministries because I know that my hours will be invested in the lives of the students around me, not merely a means to pay for college. I am becoming a nurse to make a difference and would cherish the opportunity to make an eternal difference through my work station during my college career prior to the inception of my career in nursing.

I am looking to pursue a career path in the health industry and believe that this Job can help further my goals. I plan to study a Bachelor of nursing in 2018 to become a registered nurse, and my application for the role combat medic in the ADF reserves is still in process. I am serious about a career in the Health Industry, and is determined and willing to undergo whatever training is necessary for me to adequately perform my job in the best way. I really believe in doing a job that allows me to support my community and improve people’s life. I am hoping to earn this position so that I can get a head start into my career. I believe that although I may not have the qualification yet, I have qualities that are desirable for this occupation.

I began working at Arnold Palmer Hospital for children in 2006, in which I began as an advanced clinical tech in acute pediatrics; completed a nursing internship; and began my nursing career as a graduate Nurse in 2007.

It is the year 1992 and my mother is currently nine months pregnant with me, in the war torn country of Bosnia & Herzegovina, wondering if she and I will make it out alive; luck must have been on her side because my mother escaped the war and gave birth to me in Croatia. Eighteen months later, we are on a flight traveling to New York City, which would eventually land in Jacksonville, FL. Now, fast forward to the year 2015 and I am graduating from Nursing School. 23 years ago, my mother did not know we were going to make it out alive, let alone that one day she would be watching me at my pinning ceremony. My mom got rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 26 and has been struggling with it ever since. She

I have known I wanted to be a nurse since I was a child; I was always drawn to the idea of helping others. In 2015, I graduated from Westchester Community College, with my Associates Degree in Nursing, right after graduation I started working as Pediatric Palliative Care Nurse. I have always enjoyed being around children and was drawn to pediatrics right away. I love being able to make a difference in theses children’s and their families lives, it’s what I believe nursing is all about.
