Pursuing A Career In Healthcare

Let’s start off by saying I knew it. I have learned, I am meant to be in the health field. I scored very high in the health area of the career questionnaire. I made a choice in my high school years, to pursue a career in the medical field. In 2013 I became a Certified Nursing Assistant, then in 2015 I started to work at Pocola Health and Rehab, and I love every moment that I am there. Nonetheless, I want to become a Registered Nurse. During my questionnaire, I learned that it is a very well paying career. That’s important, but in my heart, it is very awarding to help people. I strive to do better, for me and my family and that is my goal.

I CHOSE TO GO INTO THE HEALTHCARE PROFESSION BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE IN A POSITION TO HELP PEOPLE. I ENJOY WORKING WITH THE ADULT POPULATION AND BEING An NP This role has allowed me to expand my part, and better serve my community by advocating for vulnerable, high-risk adult populations while DELIVERING quality and safe healthcare. I LIKE WORKING WITH MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. I ENJOY LEARNING FROM EVERYONE I MEET.

I have chosen to become a Registered Nurse because, I like to be challenged, I want situations to be difficult so I can use my skills and knowledge to solve them to the best of my ability. I have the drive and determination to become a nurse and care for others in different situations every day. I want to make a difference in people’s life, and I know being a nurse will help me fulfill this want.

For me nursing was not something that I initially intended to do as a career. During elementary school and into high school I contemplated many different career paths such as cosmetology, teaching, psychology, and forensics. It was not till the later years of high school that I started to notice my desire to help other individuals and love of science, health, and different disease processes. My desire to help people has originated from the admiration of my grandfather’s

Healthcare abounds with occupations dedicated to serving a variety of populations. Each profession has distinct qualities that warrant specific talents. My mother exemplified the characteristics of a successful Registered Nurse as I was growing up. Although I greatly admire her profession I knew early on that I would not follow the same path. My initial career goal was marriage and family therapy.

There are many factors that attribute to my desire to pursue a career in nursing. My personal experiences in health care settings, both as a patient and as a volunteer, brought to my attention my strong desire to live a life that will impact others in a positive way. A career in nursing is a perfect channel through which I can fulfill this desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

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.

Throughout this document, readers will understand a few syllabus that I feel are important for my future career within the healthcare industry, some challenges I encountered, accomplishments, and opportunities that I have gained over the past seven weeks. In addition, taking the step to further my education is an accomplishment for me because if I did not decide to seek my dreams I would still be working at a convenience store. Furthermore, without this course I will not be able to obtain my college degree and seek employment in the healthcare industry. Therefore, it was a pleasure taking this class because I had the ability to gain more knowledge and skills for an administrative job. In addition, there are several insurance plans available throughout the United States; therefore, it is important to have the patient bring their insurance card with them upon arrival to verify his/her coverage.

My passion to help others and my interest in the healthcare arena have been evident since I was a child. I felt as though I had won the lottery every time I helped someone as a child. It was rewarding for me to see a smile on someone’s face from an action that I had completed. I carried out nice deeds without the agenda of receiving something in return, but with the mentality that it was a deed that needed to be done by someone. Whenever the famous, what do you want to be when you grow up game was played, I would faithfully name occupations that pertained to the healthcare field, such as a pediatrician, dentist, or a nurse.

Using the SMART method, my long term goal is to continue my work as a CNA while applying for healthcare administrator positions. I would like to work as an administrator for at least 3 years for any medical setting. While working, I will be looking into ways on how I can own and operate a home healthcare agency. According to Marak, (2017), I really don’t need to have experience in the medical industry; I would just need to have the passion for providing care, the marketing savvy, an understanding of business knowledge, and integrity. With my CNA experience, along with my other work experiences, I am half way there.

Many years ago when my children were very small I decided to return to the work force.

I chose to be a nurse because this allows me to interact more with people. Nursing is a great profession; it allows people to influence and touch lives. I am willing to obtain this significant responsibility. I am keen to be there for the patients through illness, injury pain, loss, grieving, birth, growth, aging, and health. I consider myself as determined and vigorous. I have the desire and determination to accomplish my goal of being a nurse. I am also thoughtful, caring, and open. I believe that my desire and traits would reflect on me being a nurse and would make me successful one.

My aspiration in life is to earn an honest living by providing health care to those in need of such attention. With this career path, I believe that I will have both an exciting and rewarding occupation. Helping those in need by promoting health and preventing disease I something that I found interesting ever since I was little. For when I was younger, I was in the hospital quite often for countless reasons, and knowing that I was going to be perfectly okay lead my impressionable self to gaining the utmost respect for those in the health care business and eventually leading me to pursue a career in the field. Ultimately, I feel that the profession will allow for me to contribute to society and in doing so I remain confident that I will learn a great deal from such as occupation as one in health care. For Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing”. With this quote in mind, health care appeals to me and appears to be the true career field for me and is my calling.

My life has been overshadowed with caring for people and a healthy living. Ever since I was a child my mother always instilled in me the importance of health and caring for my younger sisters and brothers. From a very young age I wanted to go into health care, as that is the one profession where I always believed I would excel, owing to my love of caring for people and the satisfaction of being able to help those in need.
