My Proposed Plan For Life

The experience I gained at the cardiology clinic and the hours shadowing at the Methodist Hospital emergency room are a pillar for the career of my choice. I want to be able to help those in need in my local community hospital. I feel the urge to give a hand to those that have guided me through the right path, from teaching me right from wrong to encouraging me to strive to be the best in life. At the Methodist hospital, I learned how to obtain patient’s medical history and entered data into Cerner, and I obtained consent from patients before procedures such as diagnostic imaging and casting. I observed physical examinations being performed by the physician assistant and it taught me that it is necessary to have knowledge to be able to diagnose and treat conditions and that interpersonal skills are essential for this career. Currently, I work for the department of health where I triage and register patients, assist physicians and nurse practitioner in the examination of patients, and assist with maintenance of inventory supplies and

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.

Back when I was not sure, I aimed to find out more about what healthcare means for people today by volunteering. It was through this at the Orlando Regional Medical Center that I began to understand. I witnessed firsthand the kindness and empathy medicine requires of its practitioners. Consoling and guiding patients were my primary responsibilities, along with restocking supplies, helping transfer patients, and guiding visitors to their loved ones. I learned to work with people recovering from surgery, terminal patients, and many others only wanting company; I listened to them, wished them a happy birthday, or simply sat with them while they told me about their lives, their struggles, or how they met their spouses. A human connection was essential.

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

Throughout my childhood and undergraduate experience, I realized that I wanted to develop a more meaningful role in patient care. I found my passion in volunteering, which then developed, into my career as a patient care associate. Although I cannot give medicine I can positively influence a patient’s experience in the hospital while working on skills of compassion and empathy. My current occupation lays a great educational foundation in the operations of a hospital while learning how to work with the medical team beneficially. This is only a stepping-stone as I aspire to continue my education and develop a more meaningful role in patient wellbeing that I believe can be furthered by The Ohio State University.

As time has passed, my passion for the medical field grew and I’ve understood what being in this field really means. It means knowing how to take charge helping and caring for those in need. The opportunities I’m receiving in high school and will receive in college will help me obtain my primary goal to help others in need through the

Admiring most about doctors’ volunteer work in our community and inspired by my sister’s work in the free clinic, I decide to follow their footprints. I got out of the comfort zone to begin exploring the real world. After receiving many rejection letters, I realized that finding a job is a difficult job, but I did not give up and finally got an offer from the Adventist Hinsdale Hospital.

Interning at a FQHC in Cincinnati, I was able to witness a variety of cases that highlighted the contrast of socioeconomic status in medicine. While here, I realized that many patients felt helpless when it came to their care; they believed that a physician magically solved problems, and therefore removed themselves from responsibility when it came to their care. Due to the large number of patients our doctors saw, they were unable to establish the strong relationships needed for patients to feel actively engaged in their own care, and hence continuity of care was significantly lacking.

All my life I have felt the urge to help others. Whether it be by just assisting someone in everyday needs or by helping them through hardships and struggles, I would always try my very best to make them happy. Over time I decided to extend this urge to help others by embarking on a path towards a medical career, specifically on the way to becoming a pediatrician. This would be the perfect career for me. I currently work at a childcare center and I see that to the parents and to our communities that children are the most precious and promising icons of the future. Becoming a pediatrician would allow me to care for and protect these precious children. This would not only allow me to help the children but would also allow me to help so many others.

As I contemplated my future career path, I was drawn to my interests in the sciences and the desire to help others. Throughout my high school career I had an avid interest in the sciences and always excelled in these classes. My passion for this field further developed once I began to take my college science courses in biology and chemistry. I found that I was excited to learn new material and I truly enjoyed exploring the sciences. This passion for learning has never ma-terialized to that extent in any other area of study that i have engaged in, reinforcing again how this path is right for me. My mother has a career in the health care field and she often shares her incredible experiences of patient care. The satisfaction of helping patients that my mother often gets is something I would truly strive for.

From an early age, I gained much knowledge about the healthcare field. My younger brother was diagnosed with Autism, Psychosis, and Asperger. My mother was diagnosed with depression, anxiety disorder, diabetes and hyper blood tension. Due to my mom not being educated, she cannot read or write in Spanish or English. I was forced to learn everything in the healthcare field. I quickly became intrigued of each specialized field when I took my family to their doctors appointments. A few qualities I looked for when searching for new physician was affordability, patient satisfaction, and a well-organized practice. Not everyone has affordable insurance, or receives the best quality of care due to poor organized facilities. My true passion towards the healthcare field arose when I started on my career in the financial department. I knew that I wanted to help a group of people and the healthcare facilities to create affordable and quality care. As the next health administrative leader I want to make a difference by offering a well managed healthcare facility, providing effective quality care, and high patient satisfaction to all healthcare facilities. In my current role as a financial counselor, I am exposed to several diverse backgrounds, insurances, and medical procedures. Each day I learn something new and met new patients that hold an interesting story. I have learned that their stories are never the same and it’s important to treat them for who they are and not a number. When

Much of the pain in life comes from having a life plan that you have fallen in love with, and when it doesn’t work out; you become angry that you now have to pursue a new life plan. If you want to tame your inner demons; you must not become too attached to any particular plan; and remain open to there being an even better, happier life plan (Salmansohn, 2012).

My life has been overshadowed with caring for people and a healthy living. Ever since I was a child my mother always instilled in me the importance of health and caring for my younger sisters and brothers. From a very young age I wanted to go into health care, as that is the one profession where I always believed I would excel, owing to my love of caring for people and the satisfaction of being able to help those in need.

My aspiration in life is to earn an honest living by providing health care to those in need of such attention. With this career path, I believe that I will have both an exciting and rewarding occupation. Helping those in need by promoting health and preventing disease I something that I found interesting ever since I was little. For when I was younger, I was in the hospital quite often for countless reasons, and knowing that I was going to be perfectly okay lead my impressionable self to gaining the utmost respect for those in the health care business and eventually leading me to pursue a career in the field. Ultimately, I feel that the profession will allow for me to contribute to society and in doing so I remain confident that I will learn a great deal from such as occupation as one in health care. For Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing”. With this quote in mind, health care appeals to me and appears to be the true career field for me and is my calling.

In the beginning of chapter ten, the author compares our rule of life similar to a plant. I believe that every person is meant to evolve and grow throughout the course of their lifetime. If everyone has a set of principles that he or she live by that will keep them in check to make sure they are on the right path. I compare my rule of life to a puzzle that comes together. Moreover, or a person can describe it as a daily check list that keeps them in check. Here is my Rule of life.
