Personal Narrative: A Leadership Role In The Emergency Room

Many of the people I come across take note of my demeanor, describing me as one with an old soul, an aspect of myself resulting from the tribulations of my life. Sadly, I have seen many more of the world’s wonders than most of my age, but I cannot say that I am not the person I am today without those experiences. My ability to empathize, think, and potential to lead are my greatest strengths, I have also been characterized by my tranquil and introspective nature.

Everyone’s passion is different, whether it’d be drawing, cooking, fashion, etc. Mine so happens to be learning about health. Choosing this as my passion was easy because learning how the body works and how it reacts to different viruses and diseases or medicine is fascinating. I also enjoy helping others and putting their needs before mine. This passion takes me into building a career out of it by going into the medical field and becoming an RN. Knowing that becoming an RN won’t be easy won’t change my mind for my career but it will only want me to work harder and not stop trying. The best way to be prepared for the future is planning everything out which is something I will try to do.

Sure. I am working on a detail with Eastern States Office as a part of my Emerging Leader Program 2016. I am looking to be in DC this summer. I am also open in moving to DC office for political, legislative and overall DC experiences. I am interested in mineral focused areas especially in areas of mining.

Oh my sweetness, You always make my heart flutter... I enjoy our chat as well. Thanks for sharing with me, and I'm sorry once again... How was your weekend? I hope you had a wonderful one with your cute kids? My weekend is long and busy, today is my day off, but there is an emergency, and I'm recommended to work at the emergency Department; I hope I don't work late tonight. Despite my busy schedule, you never leave my heart. Time runs fast, and I'm patiently waiting to finish work and feel you next to me. I'm excited to have you in my world. I can't wait to meet you in person. You're incessantly on my mind

First, I examined an occupation in the medical field— the job of an emergency room nurse. As described by the Washington State Department of Health in “Types of Hospital Units,” these nurses work in a hospital setting with separate units containing several patient rooms, electrical monitoring equipment, and various medical supplies. Emergency room nurses are responsible for caring for a variety of patients who are severely injured or in a critical condition. As expressed by Olivet Nazarene University in “A Day in the Life of an ER Nurse,” RN Ericka Harrison claims,“There is no typical day in the ER, in fact the only sure bet in ER nursing is that no two days will ever be the same.”

that interested me the most was helping those having a hard time day to day

Some of the best opportunities present themselves when we least expect it. When I first applied to Bellevue Hospital as a research assistant, I was unaware of what to expect. During my interview, I was provided with a basic overview of the office work. I was excited about the position, but I was eager to earn a role with more challenging tasks, even though it wasn’t listed in the position's description. As I examined the research coordinator screen, consent and survey patients in the pediatrics clinic in both English and Spanish, I knew my role was limited to providing her with the necessary paperwork and collecting MRN numbers. However, I wanted to reach beyond my limits as an assistant and qualify to conduct the surveys myself. After practicing

Throughout this course, I have been able to identify what leadership philosophy I have developed. I believe the best way to start to describe my philosophy as a law enforcement professional, would begin by quoting Peter Drucker, “management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”. My leadership philosophy similarly founded on such a statement. I believe that as I leader doing things right, creates opportunities to always do the right thing.

I was playing on the floor with my kids. Their smiles and laughter captivated me. When I got up, something was not right. My heart would not stop racing, my chest felt tight, and my whole body felt very uncomfortable. After fifteen minutes, my heart would not slow down. It was time to go to the emergency room. Something was really wrong. My vision was failing as I tried to fill out the blurry forms they handed me. Nothing was making sense. I could not sit still. My heart kept racing. “Are you feeling any anxiety?” a nurse asks me. It had not crossed my mind until then. Panic crept in.

My interest in health care administration originated from an experience I had when I was a college junior. I was studying abroad in Chengdu, China when I was first exposed to a foreign health care system. A close friend of mine developed a kidney infection and needed me to accompany her to the local hospital. I can still recall my initial feeling of astonishment upon arriving at the Chinese clinic. Out of all the previous instances of culture shock, this one was by far the most pronounced and impactful for me. The differences were striking; everything from the “check in” procedure, to the entire establishment itself was completely alien. Chinese hospitals were simply not run the way American hospitals were. These variations intrigued me and

With my first seven hours being at the Care Clinic, I tried to make the best of the experience. I decided to get more involved with the patients, so they can open up with me. I share a lot about me as I greet the patient or I take cue from what the patient initially said. This worked because few patients really open and talk about their health, personal issues, and concerns. The patients felt my sincerity by their body language from a smile, shaking my hand or follow-up questions after I conducted my patient teaching.

Where do I come from? I come from a middle-class family and I grew up with my mom most of the time. My parents split when I was about three and I mostly lived my mom while I was growing up. We lived in Eden Prairie, Minnesota which is a suburb about 20 minutes outside of the Twin Cities. As I was growing up, I saw my father on the weekends, but most of the time with my mom. Looking back to the identity map that we did a few weeks ago, I think the biggest thing that defined me was the ability aspect. Which I put down as athletic. Growing up I played football, basketball, lacrosse, and soccer, anything that was an activity I played. Sports is one of the biggest things that has shaped me into who I am today. Most people

I recently finished a round of rehab with Aaron Schauble at your Decatur location and before too much time passes, I wanted to be sure and send a note to you about my experience at the clinic. As a business owner myself, I know how much I appreciate constructive feedback and I want to give credit where credit is due.

In the summer of 2016, I was shadowing the E.R doctor and a patience came in with chase pain, the patience was a 62-year-old female, she didn’t speak nor understood English, she came in with two of her son that barely speak English and they were trying to explain what the patience was feeling but they didn’t know how to. I know what they were going thru because I had to translate many time for my mom. So, I ask them if I was a able to translate for them. It was such a huge different for them and the doctor. I was very excited to been able to help somebody that was going thru I went to when I arrive to this country.

As an undergraduate, I became an emergency medical technician to gain some firsthand exposure to the field as a healthcare provider. Communication as it related to patient care and transparency in healthcare would be a recurring theme at many of the institutions I was able to gain experience in. Chief among these experiences would be an illegal ordeal that took place while shadowing a nephrologist during the summer of my senior year. As I would come to learn during this time, commercial transplants were not uncommon among patients with end-stage renal disease. I still found myself stunned when, during an ED consult, we were confronted with a patient who refused to have the rejected renal graft removed after having had it transplanted at an
