Statement Of Purpose: A Career As An EMT

As a young child, I was always drawn towards the field of health care. I remember reading about the many options that are held within it and wondering what path it would lead me on. Neonatal nursing was something that always came into my mind, but it was often pushed to the side by people and teachers who thought I should become a pediatrician instead. This became a real struggle for me, but as I grew up and began researching and exploring the health care field I came to a decision for myself. I came to the realization that everyone was wrong. I didn’t want to be a doctor at all. This sudden burst of independence from what everyone else wanted was the first step to reaching my end goal. Along with this, an accelerated education, volunteer

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

I have always wanted to be a nurse: I do not think there is any task that is as satisfying as treating a patient physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. I first pursued my LPN, and immediately I knew I had chosen the right career path. Every day, no matter how tired and weary I felt at the end of the day, I was invigorated by the sense that I had made a positive change in the lives of my patients. To build upon my capabilities to help others, I then pursued my RN. I am currently in an RN-BSN program and hope to begin a graduate program subsequently to become a family nurse practitioner.

The career path I have chosen to take is in the medical field. My dream from a young age was always to be a nurse. A nurse is a healthcare professional who is focused on caring for people, and making sure that they manage, maintain, and recover patients to the finest state of health (What is Nursing, par.1). Nursing makes up a vast majority of the healthcare industry. There is a huge range of nursing specialties. Nurses work in General and surgical Hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing care facilities, outpatient facilities, and home health services (Why Be a Nurse, par. 2). Nursing is an extremely flexible career, with one hundred and four specialties and a lot of advanced nursing degrees, so there is something for everyone in this field (Why Be a Nurse, par. 4). Nurses do much more than just help people heal physically. Nurses are there to make sure patients are taken care of physically and emotionally. There are different levels of

I have aspired to be in the medical field for as long as I can remember. At the beginning of every school year the teachers would inquire each student to share what role we wanted to pursue when we grow up, my answer was always the same: a nurse. I am very goal oriented, and I am aware to accomplish anything you must work for it and put in one hundred percent. Mistakes can be critical, but they remain a huge part of the learning experience and advancing. How one handles those mistakes are ultimately what makes or breaks you.

The career I plan on pursuing will be Nurse Assistant. Some people may wonder why I decided to choose Nursing Assistant so now I want to tell you why. Ever since I was a little girl I loved watching nurses do their job like in hospitals in other places. I never really actually realized how much I really wanted to end up being a Certified Nurse Assistant until I witnessed some death right in front me. I watched that person get hit and just laid there and was just dying and I was just wishing I could’ve done something to help that innocent man. And while I use to sit at the hospital with my mother I had seen how caring and proficient they were to her. All the things I’ve witnessed and being through made me open my eyes and realize the Nursing was for me and I

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.

When I think of my career goals, I ask myself what I want to accomplish in life. I know that I love helping patients and families, and I want to continue to do that. I always am changing my mind on what I want to do after my BSN. I don’t know when or if I will get my masters or continue to work at the bedside for a while. I love what I do and what I do for other people and families. Working in the critical care unit feels like home. I get to do what I love.

Because of these changes, my interests in nursing have been influenced by circumstance. From the very beginning of my journey, I had a strong interest in becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), but because of the need to relocate for my husband’s job, becoming a CRNA was no longer an option due to location. After reevaluating my options, I have established a new interest in becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner, but because of my academic marathon and because of my age, I have also considered foregoing the additional education past a BSN. Other areas of interest include the Emergency Room, Cardiology, Critical Care, and Neurology. All of my career options interest me because they provide challenge and constant change. Hopefully the remainder of my academic journey will help solidify my ultimate career goal in the nursing profession.

For as long as I could remember my ultimate goal in life has always had to deal with health care; I want to help as many people as I can in a variety of different aspects. Regardless if it is nursing or a physician assistant this is a career choice I’ve always saw myself pursuing. I could easily see myself waking up everyday and surrounding myself in a hospital setting; I’m not sure what it is but I enjoy that fast pace environment the hospital has and the variety of different environments I could put myself in while I take care of my patients. I hope to have personal, one on one relationships with patients because I find establishing close relationships with any patient you have helps in regards to their own comfort. I’m mildly content with being managed, I do not necessary want to manage others; I find I enjoy having a structure and someone to tell me what I am doing right or wrong appose to it being myself correcting my own actions without any guidance.

Throughout my life, I’ve had many future career interests like becoming a teacher, dentist, and even an astronaut. Once, when I was with my friend in the hospital for her concussion, I was sent out of her room and I ended up having to wait outside. As I waited, I realized how intrigued I was while watching all the different things that the nurses and doctors were doing. I knew at that point what I wanted to be when I grew up, a nurse, but more specifically, a registered nurse.

I think as doctors and nurses, most of us have had that defining moment in our lives when we knew we were supposed to be in medicine. For me, that moment was about twenty years ago. I was outside helping my mom in the front yard. She was pushing a lawnmower and tripped over a root. She fell hard to the ground splitting her knee open to the bone. I ran inside the house; not to get my dad, but to go get a towel and bandages to stop the bleeding. I begged and pleaded with my mother to let me come with her to the ER. Reluctantly she gave in and agreed to let me come. From the moment I walked in the door, I was fascinated with everything I saw. The doctors and nursing scurrying around, the lights, the sounds; I couldn’t soak it up fast enough. I must have asked that poor ER

Ever since I worked as a physical therapy aide, I knew I wanted a place in this line of work. The experience I have earned as a teaching assistant and instructor amplified my patience, as well as, the adaptability required to work with different types of people. These qualities are essential in providing optimal care to patients. My next step was deciding what kind of provider I wanted to become. I had been exposed to the nursing occupation, but was not absorbed by it. I wanted to be involved in deciding the treatment of a patient, their diagnosis, prognosis, etc. I grew up admiring physicians, however, there was something holding me back from committing to that route. While attending Case, I became friends with many medical students and gained insight into what becoming a doctor entailed. I was at a loss and felt unsure as to what vocation to pursue. Accordingly, I sought out other careers in healthcare. I had come across the physician assistant (PA) program years ago, but never legitimately gave it thought. As I became familiar with the PA profession, I discovered my main concern in becoming a doctor. I could not live with myself if the ultimate decision in saving a patient's life resided solely in my hands. I like the idea of having some autonomy, but at the same time, having the reassurance from a physician to proceed with a patient's

The career I want to pursue is to become a doctor. Dealing with medicine is a passion and also helping others basically as saving lives. You are being trusted to save another human beings life. That should be an honor and having the chance of that is the best feeling because you know that person is relying on you to help them. To see families cry of joy and excitement knowing that saved on of their loved ones. Getting hugs and held at that moment you feel as If you are the hero. You never know what might happen next everything you do is by faith. Anybody can come through the doors needing you to be their hero and to have that opportunity is a lifelong goal to anybody. “The best part about being an emergency room nurse is that moment you know

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.
