Personal Statement : Health Field

Choosing healthcare as a career for me was quite personal. When I was born, I was delivered a month and a half early. My lungs weren’t fully developed and I couldn’t survive on my own. As soon as I was born I was rushed out of the room to the NICU

As a teacher, I encourage my students to follow their passions and I would be remiss if I did not follow mine. At this time, I am ready to take purposeful steps toward those aspirations. Public Health, specifically health equity, is my passion. I aspire to implement culturally competent policies and programs that increase healthcare access for vulnerable people in developing countries. My commitment to creating equity in health systems and expanding access comes from academic, personal and professional experiences.

I made the decision to join the health care field based on my own desire, love of the people that live and thrive around me, and to be a role model for my daughter. I feel it is important to have a goal in life, and it is important to me to show my daughter the value of goals, and achieving them as well. I love meeting new people, and being able to lend a helping hand in any way I possibly can. What better way to help the general population then to have a profession in the health care industry.

I will like to work within a health sector, namely the National Health Service (NHS). The NHS is the biggest publicly funded health service in the world and created for good healthcare to everyone despite wealth. The NHS employs more than 1.5 million people, making it the top five world's largest workforce. England is the biggest part of the system, caters to 54.3 million population and employing around 1.2 million people in England.

Ever since I was a freshman in high school i always wanted to persue a career in the medical field.

I was intrigued by the profession of a Nurse at a young age. However, what truly sparked my interest in this thriving career was when a close friend of mine was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Ever since she was diagnosed I wanted to help to create an encouraging, loving and supporting environment around in her time of need and sorrow. Since then I have always been fascinated and interested by the scientific and academic side of nursing along with the caregiving duties of the profession. Because of this, it has lead me to study Level 3 Health and Social Care programme. I am particularly enjoying my Level 3 Health and Social Care programme as it allowed me to carry out the theoretical side of my course in a real life environment as I have a work placement with a care agency. Now I am striving to further my knowledge and proficiencies through taking a university level course in Nursing.

Personal health and wellness are important factors towards life because without health, our quality of life would suffer greatly. There are many factors that contribute to health and wellness; some can be managed, but many are out of our control. Below are four main topic that caught my attention throughout the course.

As a health care provider it is so important to be aware of ones own biases, stereotypes, and prejudices. The role in this career is to provide for others, and this will include others that differ from yourself. In order to provide optimal health care to these people you can’t let these differences get in the way.

As a health care provider, it is extremely important to be aware of different resources that can be used to help you provide the highest quality of care to each patient. In this paper, I will touch on several websites that discuss different topics of maternal, infant, and child health. Many of these websites include educational information that can be passed on to women of child bearing age, those who are expecting, and those caring for infants.

As professional nurses we have obligations to both the patient and the medical community. Nursing is not only a trade developed through formal education, but also through the interactions we have in practice which are equally if not even more important in development. Each Patient has the right to the best possible care regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, beliefs, or previous decisions. Nurses should strive to build therapeutic relationships that will benefit the client and leave a lasting impression. We have a duty to play several roles including educator, supporter, listener, and advocate. The professional nurse should be an active member of the interdisciplinary team contributing to knowledge, growth, and a respectful atmosphere. Most importantly, each patient deserves a nurse that is part of a healthcare team focused on obtaining their ideals of health and preserving their privacy, sense of safety, dignity, and human

Working in the medical field has always been one of my top long term goals. As a child, I started volunteering at different nursing homes passing out ice and eventually when I graduated from high school I was able to become a worker at one of the nursing homes I volunteered at. Last February , I was in and out of the hospital taking care of my aunt , who passed away with cancer. I would take notes for my aunt if she wasn't alert to hear the nurses or doctors comments. When my aunt was alert I would read the comments to her & she would breakdown the information so that I could have a better understanding. My aunt had her masters in nursing, which means she was a well educated women and knew most of the information the nurses and doctors would

Being the daughter of Haitian immigrants has influenced my desire to advance healthcare in developing countries. Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas, resulting in restricted and inadequate social services, such as quality health care. I have witnessed how the poor healthcare system has failed my grandmother, who was diabetic for most of her adult life. She passed away in 2003, as double amputee and enable to speak due to a stroke. The lack of care that she received in Haiti caused her to lose her legs. Seeing this strengthened my desire to be an aiding force in the healthcare field.

As I began to pursue my dream to become a nursing professor, I realized there a was a knowledge deficit; not a total lack of awareness, but definitely an opportunity to grow as a holistic practitioner. I have always been an advocate for my patients, but the concept of wellness in wholeness is very intriguing and an area of growth for me. As a nurse leader, I am learning self-care is essential to caring for others; living a full life can be a challenge. I am learning to take time for myself and to encourage those I have a direct connection with to do the same. When leaders learn they share and teach others the lessons they learned. As an aspiring professor, I feel very fortunate that my nursing school emphasizes holistic care because I

I’d fallen ill while visiting my grandparents in the northern part of Nigeria and was taken to a 2-room health facility where I witnessed an unfathomable scene. In the hallway, lying on a wooden bench, a pregnant woman moaned loudly, in labor. Tossing and turning, she flinched in pain as she reached around the rusted nails protruding from the bench while simultaneously following the midwife’s directions. For many weeks, I couldn’t get the image out of my head. I remember thinking, ‘Why was she giving birth on a wooden bench? Are there no beds?’ Of course, as I advanced in my education in the world of healthcare, I came to realize that those were deceptively simple questions that delved into issues of access to quality healthcare in low resource settings. This and other questions drove me to research and birthed my interest in public health.
