The Medical Field And Working As A Nurse

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

I want to pursue my health care career in Nursing. I always dreamed of being a nurse, because I enjoy working and caring for people. Ever since I was a little girl I carried a toy stethoscope around and havin my family be my patients. I was not like any other kid, who played with barbies and kenn. My mom even knew I was going to fall in the great path of the health care. My potential is to have the greatest affect on others who are in need of my help. Also, I chose nursing to be my health career, because I have seen the real path of nursing in the real world. Attending a vocational high school, has given me a chance to enter the health assisting program. A four year high school program has put an outrageous affect on me. I learned how to practice

My love for nursing began early in my life; in high school, my continuing desire to become a nurse resulted in my applying and being accepted to Midwestern State University. There, I received a BSN and became a registered nurse. My experience at Midwestern prepared me for a successful career by instilling confidence within me as I joined the workforce. As my experience grew and years went by, I became eager to further my education and pursue my master's degree. Then life happened: the two-legged version that requires love, compassion, energy, and time. Now that my child is in school, with the support of my family, I am ready and dedicated to become a family nurse practitioner.

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.

My educational goals are to receive my Associates Degree in Nursing at Shelton State Community College so that I can work as a Registered Nurse. After working as a Registered Nurse for at least two-years, I plan on returning to school to obtain my bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. Becoming a Nurse is more of a calling then just a job or a career for me. I have worked in the healthcare field as a Certified Nursing Assistant since I was eighteen years old. I have known that I’ve wanted to be a Registered Nurse since I was fourteen when I helped take care of my sick grandmother. Becoming a Nurse is very important to me because I have a passion for taking care of people and I know that I can make a big difference in people’s life.

Honestly, I never thought I would be a nurse. More so, I never thought I would have a college degree, as no one in my family had even attempted college before. I shared my desire to attend college with my high school English teacher, and with her guidance I applied for scholarships and received three upon graduating along with financial aid, which was important due to my family’s economic situation. As my college graduation neared, my dreams of applying to medical school were put on hold when my sister left her two small children in my care while she struggled to find work. My family was my priority, and I could not bare the thought of abandoning them in their time of need, even if it meant putting my future on hold. I decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree of Nursing at UTMB so I could stay close to home. Nursing seemed like the most obvious career choice to get first-hand experience and patient interaction in the medical field. Shortly after starting the nursing program, my father was diagnosed

It has always been a dream of mine to work in healthcare in some capacity. I was raised in a family of educators, but I felt a calling for the medical field at an early age. I have vivid memories of visiting family members in the hospital when I was younger. I was fascinated by the professionals who cared for my family. I wanted to have their jobs one day. However, I wasn’t sure where I would find my passion in healthcare when I was that young. I started exploring different healthcare professions as early as middle school, but I only touched the surface of what was available. When I started college I thought that nursing would be a good fit for me. However, I began to question my desire to become a nurse as I started to learn more about other

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.

For as long as I could remember, I have wanted to be a nurse. Whenever my younger brothers or my parents were sick, I always tried my best to take care of them. My mother and father called me “The Little Nurse” because whenever someone wasn’t feeling well or hurt I was the first person to try and help them. In high school, I participated in an internship at Detroit Medical Center (DMC) and was apart of Women of Tomorrow, thanks to the help of my counselor. My parents asked me what type of nurse did I want to be. I wasn’t to sure so I did my research and I decided that I want to become a nurse anesthetist. To reach my goals, I realize that I must pursue a seven year college education. I am very excited about my future and feel that with the

In this personal statement I will address my plans and aspirations for completing a graduate education. I believe that an adequate college education is a necessity in today’s society. There are numerous resources and opportunities available to those who choose to seek a college education. I am committed to continuing my education to achieve my career goal of becoming a family nurse practitioner. Several members of my family are in the healthcare field, as both doctors and nurses. I have had the privilege of growing up observing and learning about the field from a private practice perspective. From this, I developed my interest in the healthcare field and decided that I wanted to become a part of the healthcare field. I want to be able to make a difference in the world and in people’s lives. I have often heard about there being a nursing shortage and the need for more practicing nurses and advance practicing nurses. After researching and evaluating the different roles and job opportunities in healthcare, I determined that nursing is the specific area that is the best fit for me. By pursing my career goal to become a family nurse practitioner, I could make a difference in the world and people’s lives as well as help fill the need for nurses.

Completing my Bachelor of Science Nursing degree has been a great achievement that I am proud and grateful to complete. I completed my Associate Degree in Nursing seven years ago. When reflecting professional competency and what it meant as a new registered nurse I connected it to being competent in my new specific nursing skills related to direct patient care. Over the last twenty months I have grown through each course professionally and personally. I was able to bring to the bedside more knowledge and questioning how and why I am doing what I am doing expecting a specific outcome. My confidence has grown to a higher level of professional competency. My focus has shifted to not only specific skills but now as a leader and what I can

Many students change his or her career path and life goals several times in college, but I have a firm understanding and motivation regarding my career and expectations of myself that I intend to accomplish. My primary education goal is to complete the B.S.N. program at James Madison University. I am currently a freshman and have a long education career ahead of me, but I am up for the challenge. I chose to become a nurse because it will be my way of serving the community wherever I decide to settle. I have come to respect nurses and their important roles in the world through personal experiences. The most challenging situation I have faced in my short life is when my father was diagnosed with cancer for a second time. As a result, I was able to decide on my future career as a nurse, making it my primary

In high school I decided that I wanted to work in the medical field but it wasn’t until I was a freshmen in college that I had decided that nursing was the field in which I wanted to study. In College I had taken an anatomy and physiology class that had struck my interest and although I had some struggles in the class because of the amount of criteria there was to cover I spent extra time studying and talking with the professor but most of all I enjoyed it. There was so much about the human body that fascinated me which helped close my decision on becoming a nurse. Although I had applied and talked to a few colleges about their nursing programs there was something off about the people and the program. A friend of mine was hospitalized at Medical Center of the Rockies and after many visits with him I began to talk to some of his nurses among the most caring was a girl who had graduated from Colorado Christian University. She had a smile on her face the entire time and never

At the age of seven, I had my first kidney transplant that left me hospitalized for two weeks. During this time, I had plenty of time to “investigate” what health career I should pursue. I immediately became fascinated with nursing. Wanting to be involved with my medical care, and curious about the nursing profession, I began asking my nurse questions about why she had chosen to become a nurse, and what she liked most about her profession. Her response was simple, “Because she wanted to help people like me.” At his point, I knew that becoming a nurse would be my goal for the future.

After starting my college journey and successfully finishing my core classes in 1 year, I entered the program and started what I thought would be the journey to my life long career. My life took a total turn when my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer September of 2011. I was four hours away from home in school but I made visits every weekend. From the very first visit to the hospital, it was clear that the nurses caring for her weren’t there just to treat the cancer. In my grandmother they saw not a diagnosis, but a woman, a wife, a mother, sister and friend. They saw a brave and amazing person. Compassion, skill, strength, support, hugs and tears, all were shared freely and it was then that I knew my calling was to be for others what these nurses had been for us.
