Pursuing My Nursing Career

Compassion, commitment, courage; three words that I would associate with the role of being a nurse. By going into nursing I believe that I will be able to make a difference, even changing one life for the better is far more rewarding than anything I could ever imagine. I have always admired the role nurses play in the lives of so many, not only patients, but also the families of those in their care. I believe that it is essential for a nurse to be able to listen and communicate with not only their patients but also those around them.

I want suffering patients to feel the comfort of a compassionate presence. If they need to talk to someone, I want to be able to help them think of the things that bring meaning to their lives. Fourth, I want my patients to feel that I am a competent nurse. When I come into the room, I don't want them to wish it were someone else.

In order to reach one’s goal, the goal should be well defined, firm and the individual must be completely committed to attaining it. Pursuing a career as a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner has always been my driving goal throughout all my education and training since the age of seventeen. Over the past three years working within a Surgical Inpatient unit as a Registered Nurse, I have become aware of the lack of community resources and access to health care available in rural areas. This has inspired me apply to the University of Western Ontario’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program for the fall of 2014. After completing my Bachelor of Science of Nursing at the University of Western Ontario, I am certain that no other

How do you want to be remembered? This is something said on many occasions, I’m even willing to bet it is said during 90 percent of high school and college commencement speeches. It’s said because it’s important and it’s important because a legacy leaves a mark on others. Thinking back to that one specific person in your life that really made a positive impact on you can sometimes be tough. Throughout our lives we have so many people that influence us in someway. We remember them because of their character and actions, sometimes we remember the good and sometime we remember the bad. One particular person that left a positive impact on me was my first Squad Leader, SGT Delapaz. He has influenced me through his duties as a squad

In your nursing career or personal life, have you volunteered your services? If so, please describe the facility and your experience. If not, why?

A college education will improve my quality of life not only by helping me get where I want to be but also helping others around me. Becoming a nurse is not easy but it is so worth it in the end. By continuing my education as an Licensed Practical Nurse and going on as a Registered Nurse I will be able to help so many more people. Getting an education in a career that improves peoples lives is a great feeling knowing I made a

As a nurse I will spend a lot of time with my patients and be the person they most likely see most often therefore giving me a chance to make a difference in their lives. I see myself as a good citizen, I am honest, caring, positive, and a Christ

One of my favorite writing assignments that I wrote along this year would be “Career Plan”, since it helped me find out what I really want to be and learn more about that Career. Searching for career is really helpful and it helps you decide on which one you want the mot and think it’s more convenient for you and you know you will be able to accomplish.

In the future, I will strive to care for my patients as I would want someone to care for my family, and to never forget what drove me to become a nurse in the first place. I will be that person who will help others realize their strengths and capabilities. To me, nursing is a vocation that requires passion, integrity, and a natural drive to serving others. In or out of the hospital, I believe in showing everyone kindness. I plan on earning a bachelor’s in nursing then continuing on to attain a master’s degree and become a nurse practitioner, specializing in Neonatology or

In May of 2015, I completed my nursing degree from the accredited nursing program at Carteret Community College with an Associate in Applied Science in Nursing. My dedication and hard work to my studies can be seen through my three year membership in the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. As a new graduate in the nursing field, my objective is to grow and engage in the knowledge and expertise of my chosen profession. I am very flexible and eager to begin utilizing my newly acquired degree. Therefore, please considered my resume for the Transition to the Practice New Nursing Resident Program at Carteret Health Care.

I am an Registered Nurse with over twenty years of experience in the medical field. I am now 42 years old. I have enjoyed every moment of my nursing career. I have traveled and learned a great deal from my experiences as a nurse. The past seven years I have been a nurse manager in a smaller institution, which has allowed me the opportunity of serving several additional job duties to increase my overall business skills. I would benefit greatly from a business degree and learning the financial aspect of the business. Most recently , I have taken the additional role of purchasing for my surgery center. I previously also did payroll. With a business degree, I could continue to advance my career in administration as well as open the possibility of opening my own

My favorite quote will always be by Sappho in which she says, “Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.” She was right. She’s remembered for being a gay poet and is immortalized despite a lot of her works not being found completely. It’s one of my favorite quotes because identifying as a nonbinary queer person who also likes girls, I can relate to Sappho a lot when she writes about her desire for love and personal heartbreaks. This quote also brings me ease as even in “another time” someone will still remember me. I think we all want to leave a legacy of some sort, and for me I want my legacy to be centered around my experience and accomplishments as an American born Punjabi artist and social activist, who was also highly active in the LGBTQ+ community. I want someone to remember me because it is a vicious cycle that people of color and members of the color in the LGBTQ+ community get forgotten in history. History is white- washed. But the idea that I will do enough in my life to be remembered in some shape or form, reminds me that my efforts and failures as a Punjabi artist and social activist are just part of a legacy I am starting.

I want my legacy to be leadership, especially in my family and community. I would like to set examples for others that would motivate individuals to get out in this world and be somebody and make a difference like I am. I would be the first in my family to receive a degree, and that is a big deal to me I am determined, focus, and motivated and want others to have that same drive as I have. I would like to be that ear to listen and others can come to, and I can lead them in the right direction.

I want my patience's and family to remember how dedicated I was in my job, and how much I adored helping people. I want people to know that my passion was to help people and make everything painless. I want to be the nurse, that my patience's still keep in touch with me, and tell me how good they are doing. I want to be the one that everyone looks up to. The one who always wants to help and was always there when you needed someone. I want to be the nurse that wasn't just a nurse, but also a friend you could talk to. I want to be good at my job so that people talk about how good of a nurse, I was to them. I want family and friends of patience's to come to me when something is wrong or they need help. I want to be the nurse that teenage girls can talk to and not feel scared or nervous. The one who could always make someone feel

How I wish to be remembered depends on the period. At the end of my school career, I wish to be remembered differently but similar to how I want to be remembered at the end of my life. Even though these two places in time have similarities, there are far more differences on what I wish to be remembered by.
