Health And Social Care Personal Statement

Soon after, I received my licensure and began working at The Queen's Medical Center as a Registered Nurse (RN) in early part of 1994. Since becoming a RN, I have provided care to a great deal of patients and reassured countless numbers of family members. As a RN, I've also become the coordinator of care, patient advocate, and teacher to the patients I cared for while serving as the eyes and the ears of the physicians. As with any human, I enjoyed sharing the laughter with my patient and cringed at site of their pain and despair. For these reasons, I believe that being a RN is a great career choice for me. However, for these same reasons, I still feel that I am not a complete nurse; hence I've decided to go back to school and try to earn my Bachelor in Science Degree in Nursing

I am pleased to state that I have been a registered nurse for forty years. At this moment, I continue working in nursing while pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

Thus, in terms of my career planning, my education is a crucial part to my professional development. Extending and deepening one's education, especially within the career field of one's choice, can only bring upon additional professional opportunities as well as opportunities for personal growth. My career planning includes building upon my decades of experience in obstetrics, my particular area of specialty, expertise, and passion, with the assistance and addition of higher education. I believe in terms of career planning, my strengths include foresight, preparation, internal motivation, and focus.

My main reason for applying to the Simmons School of Social Work is that it is an accredited university with an excellent reputation as an educational institution and offers an MSW program that is predominantly online.

Once I made the decision to continue my education, I searched for MSW programs that were available online with CSWE accreditation in compliance with New Jersey State social work licensure. I found that Simmons’s specialized program in clinical social work is well suited for my educational needs.

My professional experiences thus far have enabled me to learn a great deal while reaching my

Nursing is an excellent career choice, where an individual acquires great gratitude while attending to others necessities. If someone is constantly trying to improve themselves and wanting to be challenged in life, “as nurses, we face tremendous challenges and often see and do things that are extraordinary” (Ulrich xix).

One common mistakes exhibited by professionals in the field is delegation of duties by persons. Nurses should be wary of delegating duties to health care assistant because nurses should be aware of the abilities of the person with whom he or she is delegating duties. This is to minimize any chance of poor service delivery. Poor patient attendance by a person tasked with the duty at the time of delivery will extend the liability to the nurse delegating duties.

The decision to take the clinical route as a second year MSW graduate student, was one that took no hesitation to make. My passion for children and the preservation of families have been a propelling factor in my Social Work career; both academically and professionally.

Although this class discusses the key aspects of medical assistants, I personally believe that every individual in the medical field should demonstrate the same professional and personal qualities. I truly think that a good medical assistant is able to show proficient skills in every area of study, while accommodating the needs of their patients in a way that is respectful and responsible. Due to the fact that the healthcare field is very competitive, I think that it is important that hospitals, clinics, offices, etc. provide their patients with the best possible staff. It is crucial that medical assistants put customer service first, and are able to recognize and satisfy the needs of their patients. In being able to grant the wishes of their

I have come to the decision to pursue a degree in nursing education after spending time as a clinical preceptor for the hospital I work in. This role involves taking a student from the local nursing school and allowing them to work side by side with you for around nine weeks. I love the feeling that teaching someone else the profession gives me. I also took the role of “Skin Care Champion”,

Nurses are often exposed to diseases and workplace stressors can cause diseases. Nurses face severe physical and psychological stress every day, and the working atmosphere can be depressing. These can have both acute and long-term adverse effects on nurses. Healthcare assistants support nurses, but since there are no national core standards for healthcare assistants, there is a large discrepancy between what nurses are allowed to delegate and what they should not do in different facilities. The need to be very careful to whom they delegate certain jobs.

My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years.

I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

Being a certified nurse aide was the first job I had to do all my life, was it easy, I might be lying but it was definitely not as easy as I think. Since every person has a different temperament and sees a world differently, becoming a successful nurse aide is challenging. Among various of challenges, one of the greatest problems I had to face was working with overloaded information to better assist people with different issues is miserable.
