Personal Experience: Getting My Nursing Certificate

I can apply this new knowledge to my own personal life, by realizing that people come from a variety of different backgrounds. One background is not superior to another background. It is important to be accepting of where people come from, and to not judge them based on their culture. That knowledge can be currently carried out into my professional life, as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). When caring for my residents, I should never be judgmental of their physical or mental conditions. Everyone is at a different point in their lives, and it is important to comfort people along their lifelong journey. This experience changed my opinion of different cultures by making me more aware of the poverty that East Asian counties face. I never knew that the Philippines was among the top poverty-stricken countries in East Asia. Going forward, I will use that information to make a bigger effort to give back to people in the Philippines, especially in times of disaster.

In order to reach one’s goal, the goal should be well defined, firm and the individual must be completely committed to attaining it. Pursuing a career as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner has always been my driving goal throughout all my education and training since the age of seventeen. Over the past three years working within a Surgical Inpatient unit as a Registered Nurse, I have become aware of the lack of community resources and access to health care available in rural areas. This has inspired me apply to the University of Western Ontario’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program for the fall of 2014. After completing my Bachelor of Science of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario, I am certain that no other

Preparing for nursing school could be very stressful. I want to make sure that I am preparing for nursing school in every way. Taking Nursing School Success course has educated me on several different areas that are important to succeed nursing school. Making sure that I am organized and prepared for class early are two tasks out of several that are important as I major in nursing.

What has surprised you? I think the most surprising thing about my nursing school journey has been how much I have grown and changed as a person in the past two years. I have become a much more assertive and direct person. I have a greater appreciation for the monotonous moments in my life and have learned how to not over think things and just to appreciate every moment and day for itself. Part of this group come about from clinical and part of it developed through my work experience as a nurse tech in the Emergency Department at Seattle Children’s Hospital. I personally have grown and learned a lot from the kids that I have worked with and its taught me the importance of slowing down and living in the moment. It’s also taught me that happiness is something that only you can determine. I feel that throughout all my clincials I have learned important life lessons from the people from every age and stage of life. All of these lessons have helped to shape me into a more compassionate, understanding, and better therapeutic communicator with my patients and have shaped my personal nursing practice.

I am applying to the certified nursing program. Since I was little, I have always want to be in the medical field. I grew up in a big family, where my parents were illiterate but worked really hard, and struggled a lot to send me to school, as a first generation, to get educated. The idea of helping each other has always a joy to my heart and of course to those who received the help. Thus, as I get older and older, started to explore the field the more I fall in love with it. My parents could not afford to continue to send me to college. I felt the same pain that they had. I did not stop going I continued and graduated from highschool. Over the years, we moved to Minnesota for a better place. When we got here, I decided to start working as

All my life I have wanted to make a difference in the world, to make my mark. I may not be able to do this on a worldly scale, but I can start by helping one person at a time. My plan for the future is not an easy one, but it is worth it. I intend on becoming a Registered Nurse to begin, then later going further and becoming a Practitioner Nurse. Hopefully with my plans, I can get there fairly quickly. I will be attending Western Oklahoma State College, starting off with my basics, which usually take about two years. Then go into the Nursing program that Western proffers, putting my Associates degree under my belt. I would like to start working as fast as I can in order to get all the debt I will have paid off so I can attend a Southwestern

Desiring to aid others with the use of science and medicine, I am currently striving to obtain my Associate’s degree in nursing at Ivy Tech Community college to move towards my career/financial goals. However my educational journey will not end there, I will later transfer to IUPUI to receive my Bachelor’s degree in nursing and then move on to my goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner, and hopefully dabble with medical research along the way. My career goals stem from high school when I entered a program known as Young Innovator’s Quest, a two-week program that allowed its participants to explore multiple facets of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and medicine) through the creation of their own research projects and interactive activities.

There are many races, hurdles, and obstacles to contend with throughout the course of life such as: life itself, family and health. In the realm of Certified Nursing, I have become more intent on knowing more about the lifestyles of the people, and the good and bad results of daily tasks that ensure their happiness. Safety, and the many diseases/disorders that have been encountered by others, can only be counter-acted by better knowledge, resources, and means of assurance in providing ways of increasing the (ADLs). While reading, I came across the disorder of Myocardial Infarctions, and found the information to be remarkably interesting. First of all, I learned that infarctions are commonly known for being obstructions of the blood supply to the organs and tissues; whether by the thrombus or embolous. This obstruction causes tissues to die. ” (Medicine Net, 2015).There’s different kinds of infarctions, such as: Myocardial, Acute, Cerebellar, and Right Ventricular. Therefore, myocardial infarctions are “irreversible necrosis of heart muscle, which are secondary to prolonged ischemia” (emedicine, 2015). Therefore, myocardial infarctions are “irreversible necrosis of heart muscle, which are secondary to prolonged ischemia” (emedicine, 2015).

I am 38 years old and I have decided to return to college after being out of school for twenty years. I have two amazing children, Sydni , 11- years- old and Logan, 9- years- old. My husband Steven and I have been happily married for 17 years. I am currently employed at a family practice doctor’s office in Opelousas, LA., for which I have been working for the past 13 years. My job entitles that I do mostly nursing duties such as taking vital signs, minor procedures, telephone triages, and general patient care, and has inspired me to become a Registered Nurse. I am a little apprehensive about my decision and starting school again because it’s a new change, but I know this is what I want to do. I went to LSUE after graduating high school in

Have you ever had a moment in life that validated the direction in which you felt compelled to follow? A moment which never escapes your mind because it represents one of the purest, symbolic instances you have experienced? Or a moment as simple as being handed a book to encourage you to further your dream? A time to inspire you to succeed in becoming something even more significant than you already are? Or had a moment offering you the opportunity to enhance your knowledge, and thrust yourself into the world you so deeply want to be a part of? I was handed the Merck Manual along with a kind gesture and warm-hearted encouragement which aided in igniting a fire, reaffirming what I felt I was meant to do; it was a defining moment in my life.

Because of the versatility in nursing today going to nursing school and passing licensing exams doesn’t mean you can function anywhere in the clinical setting. However, the basic level of the scope of practice is the same for all nurses. This paper will examine how the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the State of Pennsylvania’s Standards for Nursing Practice are implemented in my plan of patient care. My scope of practice involves caring for patients during the preoperative, postoperative, but mostly the intraoperative phase of nursing.

For different jobs just like nursing and radiology technology would have people that you work as a team to make people feel better. Another way to be a good candidate is by helping my fellow coworkers as a team when they need something because I would never know if I need something from them in the long run. If someone needs me to put stuff away, I’ll do it with no questions ask. When the years go by I know there would be a lot of more computer use to give orders to patients and help to diagnose the patients. I believe in health care that I would need a lot of patience when it comes to the patients who will need my care the most. Sometimes I need patience when I’ll be having a hard day because working in the health care career it does take a lot of patience that I can handle. While I was doing my Certified Nurse Aid certification, I have known that I had to listen to different residents’ stories about their life before they came here. So, I’ll be a good listener to everyone that do come my way. Many patients go to the hospital just to get back to their normal health by the care I would go from the learning that I had over the years.

In May of 2015, I completed my nursing degree from the accredited nursing program at Carteret Community College with an Associate in Applied Science in Nursing. My dedication and hard work to my studies can be seen through my three year membership in the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. As a new graduate in the nursing field, my objective is to grow and engage in the knowledge and expertise of my chosen profession. I am very flexible and eager to begin utilizing my newly acquired degree. Therefore, please considered my resume for the Transition to the Practice New Nursing Resident Program at Carteret Health Care.

The skills I have in this field is that I am dedicated and can get physically fit to the point I will do good for that job. The tools I have for this is that I already know quite a few about this field and can learn more to be the best. The work environment I like is a friendly work zone and clean place to be.

Having learned the ability to adapt at a young age will make navigating through this program, I believe, much more manageable. I am also aware of the time and commitment a program like this requires. Due to constantly having new curriculum's and teachers, I was in turn required to consistently show my ability to learn and retain knowledge to the highest of standards. This determination and will to succeed helped me through every class, and I know will be just as beneficial for me at CCU. It is an instilled trait that I am positive will help me become the best nurse I can be, and take advantage of every opportunity CCU has to offer me.
