When i go back, i plan to specialize in neonatal nursing and eventually work up to becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner or a neonatal doctor.

My interest as a future Registered Dietitian is to work children and adolescents. I wish I can afford nutrition education, especially to children and adolescents, as I think the value of food and nutrition education is the important step in shaping a

While interning in the Children's Clinic, I had the incredible opportunity to go and visit the NICU. This program had also introduced me how to write a medical research paper. Mini med school gave me a lot of informative information everyday by health professions which they discussed about the ongoing medical issues and other problems like drug use and criminal issues our community is facing. I have also taken classes in High School such as Ap Biology, Ap chemistry, and AP Psychology that exposes me to everyday medical terminology that health professionals use. Information offered by these classes made it easier to communicate and understand doctors.I have taken every opportunity to better prepare myself to the challenges of the medical field. During the internship, I mainly focused on the nursing branch, I shadowed nurse practitioners and registered nurses in action and how they handled medical issues and was also given the opportunity to learn and ask about their challenges in nursing school and how they had overcome it. I was able to learn about the responsibilities and special skills required to be a nurse and received advices from the nurses on how to be successful in nursing school. I have also been self studying Human Physiology and Anatomy. Its the medical field that best describes me. I love to give back to my

In order to begin my journey towards my post-secondary education, I must first finish the goal at hand which is to graduate high school. Currently, I am on course to reach my goal of graduation with a perfect unweighted 4.0 GPA. In addition, I am enrolled in my high school nursing assistant program which I will earn a certification for in June. Upon completion, I will be attending Lenoir-Rhyne University to take part in their Physician Assistant program in order to obtain my goal of becoming a Physician Assistant. I have always dreamed of having a career that will require a life-long pursuit of knowledge; medicine is constantly evolving and diseases are constantly changing, making it the perfect type of career.

These health care teams often are made up of many different types of professionals including doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists, registered dietitians (RD), and many other different types of technologists and technicians. Although all of these members of the team are essential, the role registered dietitian’s play and the knowledge they contribute is vital to many different specialties in health care. According to a study by Kelly Adams, Karen Lindell, Martin Kolhmeier, and Steven Zeisel, only 30% of medical schools require an actual separate course in nutrition. Although their curriculum may include nutrition throughout the many different courses a physician has to take, this is an inadequate amount of time being spent on nutrition to be considered and expert in this field, which results in the vitality of having and maintaining a RD on their team. Nutrition can prevent and help treat many different problems that arise in clinical care and the different specialties that it entails.

I am interested in becoming a pediatric nurse because of the connection I have with children. I have always enjoyed taking care and being around children. The joy of making a difference in the pediatric patients and their families lives is something I want

The major I have chosen is nursing and the career path I would like to take in that is becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Nurse practitioners are registered nurses with an advanced educational degree and clinical experience. They provide health care to people of all ages with an emphasis on wellness through physical examinations, diagnostic screening for health disorders, vaccinations, injuries, and more. In addition, they administer complete physical exams, diagnoses and treatment instructions to the patients, while assessing the patient's symptoms along with medical history and lab test results. NP’s also write prescriptions for patients and they may consult with physicians regarding diagnosis and treatment.

As a current dietetics student, becoming PNPG mentee can assist in developing personal responsibility and career advancement. Although I have had previous nutrition related jobs, being a mentee enables a direct affiliation with my preferred field of study. Establishing a open communication system with reciprocal feedback is an important component of being a mentee. My objective on becoming a mentee is obtaining a sufficient amount of skills, knowledge and experience in the field of pediatrics that can help guide me to towards career achievement.

Natural Science: Health and Nutrition Concrete Experience I started to learn more about health and nutrition when I started my home childcare at the end of 2009-2010. I thought I knew what was healthy and nutritious for myself, my son, and the children attending my home childcare. In 2010 I joined a food program through Rainbow Fleet that helps in home childcare and childcare centers get federal money to help feed the children attending a healthy, nutritious meal that they may not be getting at home. They give me yearly training on what the guidelines are on what they think will be healthy and nutritious for growing children.

It was then when I decided to pursue a career in Dietetics, I wanted mycareer to be applicable to my personal life. because I wanted to study something that would be applicable to my daily life.

I truly believe that our future will be brighter, healthier and happier if we create and implement better evidence-based public health practices today. UTHealth School of Public Health (UTHSPH) is the ideal institution for me to continue my studies and shape my career by completing a combined Masters of Public Health and Dietetic Internship (MPH/DI). When I began my post-baccalaureate career in nutrition, I was not entirely sure of what my career path might entail. I had previously studied communication and psychology, and had several years of experience as an event planner. I ached for a more purposeful career path, and had interest in the universal application of nutrition as a daily factor in individual’s lives.

The registered dietician at the WICC department provided lots of education for the clients that I observed. She provided proper nutrition education for their age recommendation based on the MyPlate and food pyramid. She spoke at length with each client about meeting requirements and ways to include certain foods in their diets. She educated the parents on proper weight/height guideline. She provided each parents or client with educational material regarding nutrition guidelines based on age. The pamphlets were based on age starting at 1 year and went through 5 years of age. She also educated the parents of infants on proper nutrition regarding bottle, sippy cup and pacifier use. The appointments were used to give vouchers for purchase

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to do something special in life. I was born in a small village in Mexico where public health and education were very limited. In 1996, my family and I got the opportunity to move to the United States. This move brought me closer than I had ever thought possible to accomplishing my dream of becoming a registered dietitian and working in public health nutrition. I have always valued my education because where I am from it was really difficult to study beyond middle school. Here, in the United States, I have gotten the chance to further my education beyond high school.
