Going to college was always an important aspect to me. Coming from a home where the highest level of education was a GED, making something of myself has been a substantial goal that I’ve always yearned. When I was in the 8th grade, I was determined to become a veterinarian. It’s become somewhat apart of who I am. Going to college means that I’m one step closer to progressing to my goal. My goal to actually make something of myself that no one thought I could legitimately achieve.

I am planning to continue my path in the nursing field. I will hopefully graduate with my Bachelor’s Degree in nursing. I will take my nursing exam to become a registered nurse. Then I will hopefully be working here in Perry County at the hospital and gain some outstanding training from the OB staff. My dream

When I worked as a Business Office Manager at a nursing home I had many job responsibilities. One of the jobs I had to do was conduct and lead orientation. Each manager in the building had a section that they were responsible for going over with the new employees. In my section I would go over the organizational chart, OSHA standards, payroll, and H.R. information: sexual harassment, workplace violence, attendance policy etc. After my introduction and paperwork I would bring each manager in and introduce them to the new employees and allow them their allotted time to go over their assigned part. The first person I introduced was the Administrator. In a nursing home the Licensed Nursing Home Administrator is in charge of the entire building. I respected and trusted my

In speaking with Sandy Stoll, a Nursing Home Administrator at Lutheran Homes of South Carolina, she reveals “health care demands changes in their present day patient care focus in order to remain effective for the generation of tomorrow.” That is powerful yet it is relevant to the changing world of health care reform and present day health care services. When Ms. Stoll was asked about her role and the facilities scope of practice; she was graciously willing to states, “I have been working as a Nursing Home Administrator for over (12) twelve years. Sandy informs me that working as a Nursing Home Administrator is rewarding, being as how she started out as a Activity Director for over (8) eight years prior to becoming an administrator.

Nursing homes are places where people go who either can no longer care for themselves or never were really able to without special professional care. With this being said, the expectations for nursing homes are set high because no one wants their loved one to be left alone in a place far from home that isn 't healthy for them. My visit to The Renaissance wasn 't at all like I expected it to be. The expectations for a nursing home should be clean, in a safe and quiet area, and also I think it should have the some of the best nurses working for them.

Approximately three months ago, I left an industry I have worked in my entire professional career in an effort to broaden my professional experience. I have worked in the acute care industry, at hospitals, for over 24 years in a nursing or management role. Since I plan to obtain an MBA degree and want a more diverse background to strengthen marketability, I went to work in a nursing home as a director of nursing. Admittedly, experience is not always a pivotal indicator. Varghese, Lindeman, and Santuzzi (2015) referenced Guion and Highhouse’s suggestion that aptitude and motivation, indicated by personality and ability, are preferential indicators of performance. This is phase one of the overall plan. Honestly, this was not a preferential move because I never wanted to work in a nursing home; there is a stigma associated with nursing homes and nursing home staff for hospital employees. Hospital staff tend to view nursing home staff as failures or lazy. However, with such limited experience outside of healthcare and the prevalence of male dominated positions in this area, the nursing home position seemed to be a natural opportunity to broaden horizons.
