Personal Statement: A Career As A Healthcare Professional Nurse

Originally my desire was to become a physician assistant or nurse, until my heart started to reach out to those patients I took care patients exposed to unfavorable circumstance. Due to the exposure of many to victims, I saw in the emergency room, labor delivery, and relationships with personal friends my desire to aid in the need of such a disparity realized, the key to healthy people started at the Psychological

I cannot attribute my desire of becoming a nurse to following the footsteps of a family member, nor caring for a sick family member as I was growing up. I am a first generation high school student, furthermore, a college graduate. I became a mother at the very young age of sixteen. Being so young and growing up without the care of my parents, it was always said I, too, would end up in a rough situation and not be able to care for my child being so young myself. I continued out my days and nights being a high school teen mom. I graduated from high school in three years by attending night school while I was pregnant; allowing me to finish school sooner and obtain a better job that would allow me to take care of my son.

A nurse practitioner, is a profession that I have wanted to pursue for many years. The Family Nurse Practitioner program of the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services and California State University of Los Angeles will provide the advanced level of education I need, to provide evidence based practice care to a wide variety of patients. My goal is to utilize this level of expertise and knowledge to give back to the community especially to the underprivileged inmate population in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department by providing them easy access to high quality, patient centered and cost effective health care.

The nursing field gives a person the opportunity to work with and care for elderly, sick, and injured patients. I want to join the registered nurse team because they take on multiple medical settings. Registered nurses are known as RNs. They are responsible for multiple things. Being a RN has a lot of responsibility. The topics I will be covering are: job description, specialties, trends, salary, benefits, and required trainings. These are essential things that a person needs to know before going into nursing school.

Your choices will affect you throughout your life, whether it is a big or small decision. For example, it could be something simple like eating fast food for the third time this week or it could be important like going to an interview for a new job position. When you are young, you change your mind every chance you get. This might be why deciding what job you want for the rest of your life is difficult. Currently, 1. I want to be a RN, which is a registered nurse. Registered nurses do a lot to help their community and the people in it. With this job, I would be able to give back to the community by helping people. This makes me feel like I would be a better person.

Ever since I went to the hospital in fourth grade, I knew I wanted to have a career in the medical field. After highschool, I plan to go to college and then pursue my job in the healthcare world. My goal is to be successful doing the job that I love. To achieve my goal, I have good people skills and like working with others, and I have done a lot of group work, which will help me in the future. Getting into a group called Club Scrub, a learning experience about different medical careers located at the Monroe Hospital, will also help be choose which specific medical career I want.

From torn ligaments to occasional bad viruses, I know what it feels like to be the person in the hospital bed. What made those tough times better was the care and empathy of healthcare workers. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field. I wanted to live a life of caring, helping, and providing comfort for others in hard times. Any career in the medical field would be one that would complement my character and personality.

I am a compassionate person, and I truly enjoy providing care to others. My goal is to further my education in order to get a degree in Nursing, work as a Registered Nurse. Being a Registered Nurse is a wonderful career choice with amazing responsibilities. While I worked

Registered Nurse A career as a registered nurse is to, “Save one life, you’re a hero. Save 100 life’s you’re a nurse.” which is rewarding and demanding. Nurses often work hours, with day and long night weekend hours, but the demand for nurses is growing, and many nurses express high job satisfaction.

I grew up in Mobile, Alabama in an area where higher education was neither valued nor desired. Upon graduating from high school, my father (who worked as a janitor) was offered a dependent-stipend for dependents of employees who attend a Historically Black University (HBU). My father felt that I had the potential to be a nurse. He drove me to Tuskegee Institute and dropped me off at the designated orientation site. Thus my orientation to college life.

When I first knew that I wanted to become a nurse, I was watching a show called Grey’s Anatomy with my grandmother and I was like that would be fun and adventurous to work in a hospital and to make a difference in people’s lives each and every day that you step foot in the door. And to make sure people get the care that they need. I would truly like to be one of those nurses that also helps others that can’t afford to go to a hospital. Do you know how many people die because they don’t have enough money or have the proper care that they need to help them. You could only imagine.

As a child, the medical field has been a heightened interest of mine. Having taken classes to become and emergency medical responder, being taught CPR, watching and learning from media about emergency services, my want to excel in medicine has only increased. I feel one of the biggest purposes in my life is to understand and help others through the pain and suffering that they might be going through. I wish to develop the knowledge and the skillset to be able to help or even save those in need. In addition, I hope to help others see how successful you can be if you are passionately driven for what you do.

Graduating this year from high school is going to be a major turning point in my life where important decisions will be made. Even if I am ready or not decisions will be made and new obstacles will come my way especially when it comes to college. My choice of attending college stems from me wanting to earn a good education and successful job. I plan on furthering my education in nursing. My goal is to learn more about nursing and the medical field that way I can become a Registered Nurse and eventually work with moms’ and babies in labor and delivery.

To improve the health of the people in my community with my care by promoting wellness and self care, taking advantage of teachable moments and advocating for patients and their healthcare needs. To make a positive impact in patient and families lives. To treat all patients, families and coworkers with respect, compassion and dignity.  I will continue to expand my nursing knowledge with evidence based practice studies. And I will continue to ensure that I maintain a healthy lifestyle, as this will set a good example to patients and I will also be allowed to care for them to the best of my physical and mental ability.

One of the health professions I chose was a school nurse. What interests me about this career is how school nurse are very trustworthy and how they're able to communicate easily with student. Me, personally, I feel like I can tell them me issues and they wouldn’t be non-judgmental towards me. The school nurse provides direct care to students, provide care for injuries and acute illness for all students and long-term management of students with special health care needs. School Nurses also educate students on health care and growth development.
