Philosophy Statement Jessica Baise . . . A Career In Healthcare

The career I am pursuing is dental hygiene. Dental hygienists clean patient’s teeth, examine the mouth for diseases like gingivitis. My mom works for a pediatric dentist and I spend a lot of time at her work. That’s what made me choose this career. I love the atmosphere and how friendly everyone is.

There are many different career paths and a variety of jobs for people to choose. Different people are suited for different jobs. After high school I want to further my education to become a dental hygienist. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and provide dental care. They also educate patients on ways to improve and maintain good oral health. I believe I would be a perfect for this job. I enjoy helping others and I care very much about my health. I get to do a job (hopefully in the future) where I can learn about the human mouth, how to treat the patients, and also educate patients on proper oral care and technique’s.

Growing up, I have always wanted to have a job that has made a great impact on someone's life. I have changed my career plans as I’ve gotten older, but one that has stuck with me in the back of my mind is being a dental hygienist. Which is why I’ve decided to pursue a career as a dental hygienist. I hope to first work as a dental assistant while studying to become a certified dental hygienist. This will help me work in a dentist office and get experience while learning more about the dental field.

Dental hygiene has had a significant impact on my life since I was a child. While most children would absolutely dread going to have their teeth cleaned, I was the kid always eager and ready to get to the dentist office. Throughout my journey of traveling through life, I have had several experiences that just called to me saying dental hygiene is definitely the career for me. Shadowing my own dental hygienists and having the privilege to be hands on and work with them was amazing. I enjoyed every minute from simply going over X-Rays to getting to know the patients personally.

A career in healthcare has always been an interest of mine. Making a difference is someone?s health was a very important aspect of my career choice. Dental Hygiene has been top of the list since I was a younger child. I was one of those children who loved going to the dentist. I was always amazed by what was going on in the dentist office whether it be the dentist, dental hygienist, or dental assistant. Becoming a young adult and noticing the appearance of others, the smile was and still is the first thing I notice on another individual. Everyone does not have the beautiful smile that society expects; so being the one to improve that and make a difference I feel is an awesome career choice.

The career I have chosen is Dental Hygiene. I am very interested in this career because I have the opportunity to teach people and educate them about the health of their mouth. Some of the things that dental hygienists do include taking x-rays, cleaning patients teeth, educating patients on the benefits of good oral hygiene, and treating periodontal diseases of the mouth. The importance of a healthy mouth truly affects the entire body. Plus everyone would enjoy a pretty smile and a good set of straight teeth.

Goals are what individuals aim for in their lives to achieve a desired result. Goals can be short, intermediate or long term. Short term goals are pursued quickly and can span from a few days to a week. Interminate goals require effort and are achieved over a few weeks to a month. Long term goals require the most effort and hold the most value.

As a college student, it is important to research different professions in order to determine what career path to ultimately follow. Certainly, there are many types of jobs to take account of, and as a person with plenty of passions, finding a major has proved to be quite difficult. Nevertheless, the time has come to decide a career pathway and currently I am pursuing to become a registered dental hygienist. This career path is far from my art passions, but the search for a good occupation, and a feel-good job has brought me to the dental hygiene career path. In order to research this occupation even further, I will interview a dental hygienist and find out if this is the right career path for me.

I believe that goals can give me strong motivations and guide me in a right way to pursue them. My short-term goal is to

Goals within my organisation look at where we would continue to strive towards. They are long term aims. They are stated in our professional development plan stating:-

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 chose to commit myself to the nursing profession because I believe the nurse is the comma in every health care sentence. A comma may seem insignificant, or even invisible in a properly structured sentence, but its absence can be detrimental to the whole. The nurse links the art to the science of care, connecting two independent clauses creating one fluid idea. Nurses help connect the patient and the doctor; they translate the jargon to the civilian’s understanding. In a constantly changing environment, they elicit an essential pause, assisting each crucial transition. A carefully placed comma doesn’t just manage a checklist of ideas; it inadvertently leads them forward in motion. Nurses are ever present in the healthcare experience, beginning with

Nursing is a dynamic career field with endless opportunities associated with it. Working in this field allows those seeking a job in a variety of working positions. Whether it is working at the bedside of a patient, going into a community and teaching about disease prevention, or in researching clinical outcomes, nursing has a wide variety of options to get into for those who are interested in this career. However, with those opportunities and options available, there is more to nursing than just performing the job. Exploring reasons why a person chose nursing, as a career, is needed to give insight into this profession.

A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the

My outside of school goals are to go outside more, save up money, and to chew more gum. I chose those going outside more because i remembered that when i was smaller i used to hang out with my friends outside but now we never do. My second goal is to save up some money to have just in case i need it for a particular reason and i want to use the money to buy some gum because i love gum. My last goal is to chew more gum i want to chew more gum because i always used to chew gum but now i never do so this semester i want to start chewing more gum but not in school.
