Pursuing Nursing Goals

Registered nurses work alongside physicians providing patient care in a variety of ways. A few examples of what nurses are responsible for include: administering medications, tracking patient’s vital signs, helping to diagnose and properly treat patient aliments and educating the patient and their family on their condition and the course of treatment. Depending on what area of medicine a nurse works in will determine more generalized and specific duties and responsibilities. There are many different areas a nurse may work in. Some areas include: obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, emergency room, and many more. Nurses can work in a variety of settings, these can include: hospitals, urgent cares, doctors office, nursing homes and home health.

This scholarship award has improved my experience at school over the past year by alleviating the stress and worry that would have been put on me had I not been able to afford to go to school. Due to the help that I was given through this scholarship last year, I was also given a boost of confidence in my academic abilities and was named to the Dean’s list for both fall 2014, as well as spring 2015.In the upcoming academic school year I will be starting my clinical classes. I am very excited for these because they will help me determine what field I want to focus on in nursing. However, for my sophomore year I have decided to live off grounds in an apartment with two other girls so I may have to pick up a part-time job. I feel that this is will give me experience in the adult world. My future goals are to continue with the nursing program and then to enlist in the

After graduating from Blackhawk Technical College my nursing career will begin at St. Mary's Janesville Hospital as a surgical/pediatric nurse. I am excited to begin this journey within an organization I have been a part of since before the doors opened in January of 2012. St. Mary's Janesville is partnered with several colleges offering ADN to BSN degrees. My future goals include enrolling and completing an ADN to BSN degree program by December of 2020. In addition to earning my BSN by 2020, my goals also include obtaining my ACLS and PALS certificates within four months of hire.

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

In one year I see myself attending Grand Valley State University, studying nursing. I will be working on my prerequisites on their Allendale Campus.

This course is something that will be very important for my career as a Registered Nurse. I plan to try my hardest and do my very best in this course. By the end of the course I expect to be able to properly communicate using medical terminology. The only experience I have with medical terminology is an anatomy class I took in high school. I retained the information well and I still remember most of the words I learned in that class, because I knew they would be important to know later on.

Since I was in grade school I always had a dream of going to college and becoming a doctor. I pushed myself to maintain an “A average” and continued to be involved in sports and school activities. Both my personal and professional lifetime goals in life are to provide and offer true love and compassion for humanity. With my goal of obtaining a nursing degree is extremely important to me as it would allow me the opportunity to fulfill my career goals and desires.

The main goals I have for myself are to become a well-rounded, intelligent, and focused nurse. I want to know all about nursing and how I can help everyone I can. I come from a long line of strong women who were nurses. Nursing is in my blood and I want to carry the legacy on. As a nurse, I want to be able to touch as many lives as possible. As for my education, I want to continue on for the rest of my life, therefore I will never stop learning new medical procedures and practices for the future. I want to be able to be educated in all ways of nursing so it opens my opportunities to help more people. There are many people in the world that need my help and if I can touch hundreds of them I know that in my heart I did the right thing. Not only

Before the age of eighteen, I had lived in three countries. My father’s career as a doctor and scientist of Military, Disaster & Extreme Medicine took my family throughout Kazakhstan, Russia, and the Ukraine. Although it was a challenge for me to continually adapt to new places and learn three languages, I am grateful for the cultural exposure that traveling provided me. In every new environment I was raised to treat others with equal respect and kindness regardless of any differences or similarities we may have had. This exposure has taught me that successful acclimation lies in the ability to interact well with people from diverse backgrounds. Here, in a country of immigrants, I have met people from countries all around the world. The Nursing field provides me the opportunity to help all people regardless of age, sex or ethnicity. I seek a Nursing degree here in the United States in order to increase my knowledge and to be able to practice in the field of professional nursing. My goal of becoming a Registered Nurse has long been encouraged by my personal interest in the profession and by my experience, previous education and achievements. These factors continue to motivate and inspire my desire to seek this degree and become a healthcare professional.

Careers in Nursing contributed to those in need and creates a bond patients . Its always something that perceived that it would draw my attention .

Although nursing is my undergrad, I learned business method at an early age in life. Moving forward, I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia August 2014, to pursue a better career in healthcare, not to mention, I place nursing on the back burner and try to pursue more of the health care administration. Moving to Georgia, is not what I expected to be, the job market is all about who you know. Mostly, everyone has a degree in Georgia, so having a degree sometime mean nothing. Nonetheless, I landed a job in the medical field that focuses more on mental illness. The job is not bad, just moving up the ladder in the company is very problematical. To move up within this company, you have to know somebody that knows

Once the actual and potential problems have been identified care can to be planned, making sure the patient’s goals are centred around the patient achieving independence in the activity of living or dependences the patient may have (Pearson, Vaughan and FitzGerald, 2005). At this stage achievable goals needs to be discussed with the patient. Potter and Perry (2001) states it is important that patients are involved in planning their care because it empowers them and improves the likelihood of the goal being achieved. Moreover, NMC code (2015) also implies that nurses should respect the level to which people receiving care want to be involved in decisions about their own health, wellbeing and care. To act in accordance with the NMC code the nurse

My career plans as an advanced practice nurse are two-fold; I want to work in Primary Care around rural communities providing preventative health plans for patients, as well as assisting to get health care education provided to schools. There are few things more important than education, whether that education comes in a classroom or in a primary care office education is the leading force to change. With the obesity epidemic that has continuously plaguing the health the both the young and the old, the only way to change that is through education and prevention. I want to work within the communities to provide nutritional education to both the young and the old, in classroom and in public meeting areas.

Helping people has always been in my blood. The main key to nursing is helping people and making sure that your patient is safe, healthy, and aware of what you are doing at all times. In this paper, I will be talking about how I was brought into the profession of nursing, the values of nursing, and my personal goals that relate to the nursing program.

According to Stanhope and Lancaster (2012), holistic nursing takes into consideration the “interconnectedness between the mind, body, and spirit” (p. 974). Once upon a time, the concept of holism was something I had never heard of. It was not until I began nursing school that I became familiarized. Initially I did not understand why there was such an emphasis on holistic care; I always deemed nursing as a career where it was always necessary to see the patient as a whole person, so it never occurred to me that the practice could be done any other way.
