I grow both personally and professionally through my relationship with nursing. Unlike many other careers, the growth is reciprocal. Nursing gives me the freedom to venture into uncharted territory and in turn, nursing’s boundaries expand. As the field of nursing develops and strengthens in new areas, unique and rewarding opportunities become available to me. While I achieve a Master’s of Science in Adult Primary Care from New York University the profession of nursing will, in return, be rewarded with a valuable contributor.
My nursing relationship began after a successful yet uninspired career in fashion and media production. As the first person in my family to attend college and self-fund it, I am especially proud to have graduated cum laude from the University of Texas with a BSN in December 2004. In school I maintained a 3.69 GPA in my

Oz Show, as a guest on Good Day New York, and on ABC 7 Eyewitness News with Dr. Jay Adlersberg. Dr. Jay Adlersberg has encouraged me to draw upon my past career in modeling and on-set production to become the first nurse health correspondent. He and I agree that it makes sense for nurses to deliver health-related information in the media. The public wants information from reliable, honest and ethical sources and nursing has ranked the most honest and ethical profession in 13 out of 14 annual Gallop Poll surveys. After bolstering my education and credentials at NYU, filling the vacancy in television is something that I would consider. Teaching is one of my favorite aspects of nursing and I could reach a much broader audience using this forum.
However, I want to be clear, I am not focused on self-promotion. I am interested in health promotion; health promotion through my business, my writing and the media. A graduate nursing degree from NYU combined with my business acumen and previous career experience will give me the confidence and credibility to advance in all of these
Soon after, I received my licensure and began working at The Queen's Medical Center as a Registered Nurse (RN) in early part of 1994. Since becoming a RN, I have provided care to a great deal of patients and reassured countless numbers of family members. As a RN, I've also become the coordinator of care, patient advocate, and teacher to the patients I cared for while serving as the eyes and the ears of the physicians. As with any human, I enjoyed sharing the laughter with my patient and cringed at site of their pain and despair. For these reasons, I believe that being a RN is a great career choice for me. However, for these same reasons, I still feel that I am not a complete nurse; hence I've decided to go back to school and try to earn my Bachelor in Science Degree in Nursing
I completed my adult nursing degree. I began my nursing career in 2014 in primary care as a community nurse. I have continuously undertaken courses to improve my skill and knowledge in caring for patients. This has empowered me to deliver holistic evidence based care to patients in the community. I have continued to professionally update my practice and have developed comprehensive portfolio.
Nursing is a noble profession that will help me expand my horizon by letting me focus outside of myself and my self-interest. By focusing outside of myself, I will get to be an advocate for people’s health and a humanitarian who will have a chance to see the other aspect of medical
I would reach out directly to members of the ANA board to seek opportunities for collaboration and to learn about ANA events that nursing students would benefit from attending. Also, by routinely reviewing content on the ANA website, including upcoming events, health initiatives, and issues in healthcare affecting nurses, I could highlight the work of the ANA on social media platforms, thereby encouraging NSNA members and nursing students to become engaged and aware of issues vital to the field of nursing. I would strive to make this content relevant to nursing students and provide information on how they can become more involved. Additionally, to support my goal I would like to collaborate with the ANA to bring speakers to the NSANYS annual convention to further encourage NSNA members to engage with New York’s nursing leaders and increase the ANA’s presence at the convention. Also, by working with my fellow NSANYS board members I believe I am confident I could develop additional strategies for fostering the relationship between the NSANYS and ANA
My talents and experiences have prepared me to support the Metropolitan State University School of Nursing mission and prepared me for graduate education. I currently work in healthcare as a certified pharmacy technician and work with diverse and underserved population daily. Unfortunately, I can see how communication barriers, access to health care, physical barriers, and monetary barriers can prevent individuals from living up to their full health potential. I have had patients call our pharmacy to tell us they are unable to pick up their medications due to a lack of transportation access and an inability to pay for their medications. I have also had patients who are unable to take their medications regularly also due finances and an inability to read or understand the directions of their medications.
This is an interview of a Master’s- prepared nurse who has recently assumed an Assistant Director of Nursing position. The aim of the interview is to show how a graduate of a Master of Science in Nursing would adequately prepare a nurse to assume a higher role in the field of nursing practice, education or administration. This achievement offers the individual with many opportunities for growth and opens the door to different career possibilities. I chose to interview B.A., a fellow instructor at the Anaheim nursing school where we teach.
Ever since I decided that I wanted to become a nurse, I have hoped to obtain my degree from the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. For me, the way the U of M nursing program exposes its students to a combination of typical classroom setting and actual hands on learning is something that is exceptionally appealing. Also, the Ann Arbor campus is a highly accredited school known for its exceptional medical studies, programs, and overall campus life.
Completing my Bachelor of Science Nursing degree has been a great achievement that I am proud and grateful to complete. I completed my Associate Degree in Nursing seven years ago. When reflecting professional competency and what it meant as a new registered nurse I connected it to being competent in my new specific nursing skills related to direct patient care. Over the last twenty months I have grown through each course professionally and personally. I was able to bring to the bedside more knowledge and questioning how and why I am doing what I am doing expecting a specific outcome. My confidence has grown to a higher level of professional competency. My focus has shifted to not only specific skills but now as a leader and what I can
After some trial-and-error in majors—after business and math education, I began to look at healthcare careers. I knew that I had a desire to help people because
Presently we all are experiencing some elation for finishing our arduous journey with the completion of nursing school. We all have dreams and aspirations from which we plan to grow and succeed. Small short bursts of wisdom are on our minds as we contemplate our new jobs and lifestyle like a child staying up all night anticipating what is going to under the tree after the jolly old man in the red suit arrives and bestows with his good cheer. This is a life changing event for which have been entrusted and the complexity of its empowerment and responsibility. With all of the challenges before us, we will endeavor into a new world full of pain, suffering, joy and contentment. For some of us these are shiny new gifts to be unwrapped like those found under the tree. For others, they are embellishments and struggles attained through a sense of accomplishment. Never the less all of these circumstances will become part of our lives.
First of all, I would like to thank all the staffs for holding this event and giving me this opportunity to talk today. I am glad for being involved in the panelist and I would like to share a little bit about myself and my experiences in the Nursing program here at UW. Ever since I was a young girl, I knew how important it was to become educated. I was born in Ban Vinai, Thailand, an overcrowded refugee camp where Hmong families fleeing Communist persecution in Laos settled after the Vietnam War ended.
Even while I have enjoyed the research, I want to do more with my professional career and want to help someone in their time of need. Therefore, I decided to make the career change to the nursing profession as I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. Nursing is necessarily a
My footsteps did not follow my sisters’ directly out of high school into nursing. I had already married and had just given birth to my second child when my mother approached me, insistently, about becoming a nurse. As a result of what transpired to cause my brothers disabilities, I wrestled with my altered perception of nursing practice as one being fraught with tremendous responsibilities.
I come from a low-income urban community located in East Los Angeles and was raised by a single mother who immigrated to the United States from Mexico. I am a first-generation college student and I have an interest in Nursing and the desire to improve the health in communities similar to the one I grew up in: working class communities that consists of disadvantaged groups of people who lack access to quality health care.
My nursing background is in women and children’s health care. As a clinician, I have practiced in acute and primary care settings. My professional interests include nursing genomics, nursing leadership, and new program development.
