Statement Of Purpose: A Career As A Nursing Assistant

At 17 years old, I had the grueling task of deciding how I wanted to spend 40 plus years of my life. I always aspired to land a career in the medical field, so I majored in biology like most pre-med hopefuls, but during my junior year, I no longer desired to become a physician. The medical field was calling out to me, but the specialty of focus was incorrect. After graduation, I went back to the basics and put my nursing assistant certification to use.

The career that I plan on pursing would hands down have to be Certified Nursing Assistant. Some people may wonder why I decided to settle with this profession so I guess we’ll just have to take a walk down memory lane. Ever since I was a little girl I love watching nurses work. I never really realized how much I wanted to be a Certified Nursing Assistant until my grandmother took sick at home she had home aids come and see her routinely. I watched my grandmother struggle with her health issues and I also watched how caring and proficient the nurses were towards my grandmother. Seeing my grandmother go through the things she went through definitely made it clear to me that I wanted to do in life. And that was helping all others just like my

The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I

with going back to school. Because I knew, firsthand, how important a degree was, I

My decision to join practicum of health science did not come in a moment of blinding revelation, but as a result of a variety of experiences which began during clinical rotations. During my experience at Kindred and Cy-fair hospital, I gained profound insight into the healing relationship between patient and doctor/healer. While I was there, I delivered many different items that the patients requested such as, jello or water to patients for their afternoon snack. As soon as I brought something as simple as jello into their rooms, their faces, which had previously appeared somber and withdrawn, began to glow. At first, I had believed that this response was in anticipation for the cool, sweet treat; however, I soon realized that this response

I am a spouse of an ARMY active duty soldier who has three beautiful kids. I have a passion for nursing and cannot wait to finish my degree in this field. I have been a certified nursing assistant for the last ten years while raising my family and moving around the U.S. with my husband due to him being in the military. As a CNA, my love for nursing and taking care of people grew to a passion. I knew this was my calling. Due to moving a lot these last few years and having to go through multiple deployments with my spouse it has become challenging to finish my degree, but has not stopped me. Just set me back some. I really want to show my kids that it is possible to accomplish your dreams despite what life throws at you. However, with the economy downfall and the rise of cost for living it is becoming a struggle financially to pay for college. It is a consent battle whether to pay for things your family needs or to pay for another set of classes to take. I have recently been accepted into the CTC Nursing program. This means I am only two years from graduating with my degree in nursing. I am undeniable motivated to finish what I started not only for my family, but to prove to myself that anything is possible.

Often working directly under a nurse, the Certified Nursing Assistant or CNA, is a versatile job that varies from state to state. However, one thing that always stays true is that CNA’s play an important role in caring for the patient as they often spend the most time with them.

I am a highly motivated licensed practical nurse pursuing an RN degree simply because I believe this field offers diverse knowledge and skills that are relevant to the modern day which is more diverse compared to LPN. This short scenario is an example of the how the nursing care I have provided has influenced my career and my decision to continue my education. I had a seventy-one-year-old male patient with primary medical history of 99% occlusion in the carotid artery and intermittent chest pain admitted to my facility for conservative treatment following hospitalization for an unwitnessed fall and was found to have subdural hematoma and multiple facial bone fractures. Patient had no evacuation and no coronary cauterization and anti-platelet therapy. However, the patient had signed the advanced directive form for “full code” thirty-six hours after admission patient noted to have flat affect although he had no specific

The career I researched about is a Nursing Assistant. Nursing Assistants help patients with the daily things we do as individuals to help ourselves. The personal qualities and abilities within this job is getting the special things the patient needs in order to be healthy, such as grooming the patient, brushing the teeth of the patient, observing them, helping patients walk, making their beds, and they helping with the bowel and bladder problems for their care. In the United states it is required for Health care facilities to have Nursing Assistants. The educational requirements for a Nursing Assistant is to have a CNA credential and also a state registration. Nursing Assistants need to take programs such as a certificate program in nursing assistance. Usually you may go to a community college to have the proper education needed for the job or you may go to a university. The certificate program to become a nursing assistant takes about 18 weeks or a whole semester. Lastly they need to

I am enrolled to be in nursing education next semester. Upon completion of this course, I will become a certified nursing assistant. I have taken or taking the following classes: health science, medical terminology, medical therapeutics, rehab therapy, diagnostic medicine, and nursing education. As you probably can tell I am very interested in the medical field. In college, I hope to major in Pre-medicine or nursing to get me on the path of becoming a nurse anesthetist.

If I do not transfer to a four-year university directly after high school, I plan to go to Johnston Community College. I would go to JCC to become a certified nurse assistant. To become a CNA, it would take about twelve to

Even though I do not have enough points to qualify for this award I am still going to apply, because although I may not have done as many things as others have within the building. The things I have been able to accomplish outside of the building have helped me lay the foundation for my education, career and overall life after high school.

The career as a nurse's assistant (CNA) is to provide care for patients and perform treatments procedures that require skills and knowledge.

In my early forties, I was given a second chance to choose a career. I was laid off from my workplace of 18 years due to a slump in the oil industry. I started working with an employment agency to perfect my resume and come up with creative ways that my skills transferred to other industries, but my heart wasn’t in it. My job had meant to be a short-term pit-stop on my way to realizing my true purpose, one that got too comfortable. This was an opportunity for me to select a meaningful career that I could be proud of.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.
