Opportunities

For me nursing was not something that I initially intended to do as a career. During elementary school and into high school I contemplated many different career paths such as cosmetology, teaching, psychology, and forensics. It was not till the later years of high school that I started to notice my desire to help other individuals and love of science, health, and different disease processes. My desire to help people has originated from the admiration of my grandfather’s

During my senior year of high school, our graduating class had to take more than one career assessment. I was given choices in the health and human science field. I was a lover of science and the human body so there is no wonder on why I was given these career choices. You never think about choosing a career until you are given a list of what there is to do in the world. I put a lot of time and effort into choosing the career I want the rest of my life. I found that a lot of my childhood was spent in hospitals. When I was there I made sure to make time to look at the babies in the nursery. My mind would come up with a ton of questions regarding their life, family, and health. This lead me to choose a career pathway in neonatal nursing. Neonatal nurse practitioners normally deal with babies who need immediate medical attention, but sometimes there are instances when that is not the case. I would like to become a neonatal nurse practitioner so I can apply my education and experience to better the newborns’ health and well-being.

The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I

Finding the career of my dreams or as some would put it “my calling” has been a rather difficult task. It is always hopeful that someone would discover what they are called to do in their younger years (elementary-high school) so they have plenty of time for planning out there career map but then there are those who are pulled in different directions…like myself. When I started my college career in 2007, I just did what seemed to be the norm. To make a long story short, I started as a nursing major and ended up graduating 5 years later with two totally different degrees, a Child Life degree as well as a Family and Community Services degree with a concentration in early intervention. In this economy, finding a job with two fairly non-specific

When you graduate high school most of us look forward to going to college and starting a new chapter in our lives. There are many choices of fields to choose from when we enter college. Some of us know right from the start what we want to do and some of us don’t. I have had many ideas of what I might want to pick as my career for the rest of my life. It first started out with wanting to be a teacher, and then it changed to a veterinary technician, and finally with lots of thought and research I have decided I want to be a Respiratory Therapist.

Growing up I knew I wanted a career where I can help people. I was undecided whether that would be in the form of caring for people or helping teach key stage 1. I thought I would enjoy becoming a nurse so started an access to higher education course in health care. Once attending university open days and finding out the unsociable hours and weeks away, I knew this is not the career path that I want to go for. As a mother, I want to be around and involved with my children.

In contrast, I feel like the most problematic issue I have during nursing school is being unsure of what area I would like to work in once I graduate. I seems like many of my classmates already know where they would like to work, but I am keeping my options open because I am still unsure. Unfortunately, this might hinder me from researching and learning more about a particular field I could be interested in while I am attending clinical field experience in that area. I feel that my goal of simply passing has humbled me and keeps me grounded and willing to accept what I cannot control. Although I cannot control everything, the main aspect of nursing school that I am in control of is how I manage and use my time. I feel like my expectations

Do we just wake up one day and know what our career should be? Finding a job that best suits myself is complicated. It is not easy as it seems to decide on what I want to do for my career. I believe the job that best suits me would be a nurse, so that means I would enjoy to be in a hospital. I am best suited to be a nurse because I am very dedicated and hardworking, I am a very caring person and hopefully a role model to others. Also, I have a calm temperament and I can remain focused in difficult situations. Being a nurse comes with plenty of hardships, but I am ready to face them all.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit my Eng.101 Portfolios for your review. I believe the Portfolio is a great example of my hard work in this course. My academic goal is to achieve my Associate of Nursing Degree in Nursing Program. I am aiming to graduate in two years with a GPA of 3.5 or above. My career goal is to own a clinic to care for the sick. I am from Nigeria, and I would like to take what I have

My academic and career goals don't stray from the norm. I strive for success and for satisfaction in my work. I refuse to let a goal go unaccomplished. I feel that I display that by moving across the country from Idaho to Washington D.C., to see to it that I get the best education I can. My passion is helping people, and I see no better way to do it than to care for all ages and ethnicities in a day to day job. I am starting with obtaining a Bachelor’s degree, then work for my Master’s degree with a specialty in anesthesia. Nursing has everything I would hope to have in a life and a career. The opportunities are endless with where I would be, what I would specialize in, and who I would work with. I want to take this career

Since I was in elementary I knew I wanted to be a nurse. When I was not feeling good during school, I would end up in the nurse’s office. It did not matter how bad I felt. I could not help staring at her personalized wooden desk plate. I would daydream about one day seeing my name on my own the desk plate. I loved how caring and loving she was and I wanted to be like her. As I grew older I never really took the time to think of what type of nurse I wanted to be. I assumed I would go into obstetrics or gynecology since I am a female. It was not until two years ago that I decided I wanted to be a psychiatric nurse.

I knew the first step when I was out of high school I wanted to begin college with the goal of completing the classes I needed to continuing working towards what I wanted to do with my life. I had thought about lots of different careers. For example, Psychology, Nursing, Teaching, and Marine Biology. Towards the end of my freshman year of high school I was convinced Marine Biology was what I wanted to study. Then sophomore year came around and my parents bought Rosie. After I raised my dog Rosie, I felt I had developed a real passion for caring for animals. I then thought about being a vet. I had never thought about being a vet as an option before. I had considered Nursing as my major for some time because I wanted to have a medical related job. In fourth grade I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes. I wanted to pursue a job in the medical field because I felt since I was Diabetic I could provide lots of help since I had some experience. Imagining it I thought it was a really good fit for me. A vet is in the medical field, I love animals, and it was beneficial all around. I had loved the idea of being around animals all day and being able to somehow help them with any problem, I thought it was very rewarding in a way giving me a sense of fulfillment being able to help any animal. Helping anything I care about always makes me feel happy and feel that I have a real

The nursing major is a popular choice for many people entering college. This profession continues to grow because of numerous factors. As

In life it is hard to know if the career chosen is the perfect fit. How does one know if he or she is going towards the right profession? Once I learned more about nursing and became a CNA I knew nursing was a good fit for myself. In this paper I will first, explain what brought me to the nursing profession then, the values of nursing and how they relate to my personal values and lastly, my personal goals and how they relate to nursing.

One sweltering day in August of 2014, while New York was experiencing a 108-degree heat wave, I made a decision that changed my life forever. Two months leading up to this day, I had just graduated high school, and eager as ever to start a new chapter in my life, college. One problem stood in my way though. I had no idea what career I wanted to pursue. I was planning on attending York College, because of the central location, but with no direction as to what major in. On this day, I finally realized that I wanted to be a nurse. Throughout my college career, I have faced countless challenges, that helped shape me as an individual. I believe that both my negative and positive experience as a Pre- Nursing Student at York College, has molded
