The Paint Cerebral Palsy: A Career In The Medical Field

Nursing is a very rewarding field to work in, but it can also be very difficult. The field requires the nurse to be able to care not only for their patient, but also reassure the family of the patient that their loved one is going to be alright. This can be rewarding for the nurse when everything turns out good for the patient, but if things do not turn out as planned it can be difficult. I have felt drawn towards medical professions my entire life. I help my mother take care of both my father and grandmother. My grandmother suffers from Alzheimer’s as well as a debilitating lung disease. My father was in a motor vehicle accident that left him permanently disabled with a spinal cord injury when I was two years old. If it had not been for great nurses and doctors my father would not be here today. As I grew

I’ve always known I wanted to help people, but I didn’t know exactly how I was going to do it. My sister has influenced me to pursue a career in the healthcare. At the young age of 20, my sister was told that she was in stage 3 renal failure. At the time I was only 16 years old and still trying to figure out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, getting news like that was difficult to absorb. The constant doctor visits made me realize a health profession is what I was going to do. The incredible doctors and nurses who have been a part of my family’s journey have left a huge impact on me. The compassion, drive, and dedication to not only their work but to their patients have woken

Looking back on my life, there were many difficult times my family and I went through. Those difficult times, however, became my motivation for pursuing a career in the medical field. Growing up my brother had to overcome many different obstacles. At five years old he started talking after we thought he never would. In kindergarten he contracted meningococcal meningitis and was hospitalized for a long period of time. A couple years later his appendix ruptured while waiting in the hospital emergency room. After a couple weeks he had to be transferred to Akron Children’s Hospital where he stayed for another month. During those times

I realized I wanted to be a nurse in 2010 when I was sitting by my grandfather as he was diagnosed with a stroke. As the physician explained to my family and I that the man we knew and loved would not be able to speak or walk again we were struck with heartache. The compassionate and holistic care that the nurses provided him solidified my determination to become a healer to patients who were not able to care for themselves. Today, I have the joy to work in an Emergency Department caring for acutely ill patients and their families, as they are vulnerable and grieving just as my family was. Nevertheless, I have come to realize that my journey will not end until I become more involved with patient care by earning a degree as a Nurse Practitioner. In this paper, I will discuss my educational and professional goals, short term and long-term goals, and how earning a Nurse

Growing up around three female nurses in my family has sparked an interest in working in the medical field; being the introvert that I am, I decided that it was best to become a medical records field technician in Surprise Arizona. Being a big part of my life has I was growing up, my Nana and my two aunts Phyllis and Theresa all took upon the same career choice and became nurses. On February 14, 2012 I went with my Nana and my sister to the nursing home where my Nana works and passed out cookies for Valentine’s Day. While I was passing out cookies with my sister, I was able to see how the staff interacted with the patients and helped them if was needed, it made me realize that one day I would like to work somewhere in the medical field, but

When I was a Junior in Methuen High School, I was enrolled in community service program in which I have to go to hospitals or nursing homes and take the old patients to other room, bathroom, or to their cars during the time they get discharged. During that time period I noticed that there were many old patients who didn’t had any family members who came to either visit them or take them home. The only people who were helping them were either volunteers like me or the nurses. So when it was time to decide that what career I am going to pursue, I decided to be a nurse and give the old people a family experience with my required duties and responsibilities.

When I was fourteen years old, my great-grandmother had an ischemic stroke and struggled with Broca’s Aphasia until she passed away seven months later. What she left me with, however, was a gift greater than anything of monetary value: passion for the healthcare field. For months prior to her death, I watched her devote her life to redeeming her expressive language. I was inspired tremendously by her gallantry and decided that I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. However, when I was applying to colleges, I chose nursing because it was what my parents suggested I pursue as a career. After coming to college with the anticipation of graduating with a degree in nursing, I was disappointed when, after two years of school, I realized

To this day, my mother, a CNA at a local hospital where she’s been for the past 24 year, fears going to hospitals herself; let that sink in. This is common in the community in which I was raised and I’m sure in many other underserved communities across this nation as well. Many do not trust in our healthcare system and I want to work towards changing their perspective. I want to educate those in underserved communities on the importance of taking care of themselves and seeking treatment when necessary. Having been raised in an underserved community myself, I believe that I am in a unique position to truly make a difference. My other hope is that I can inspire the children of these communities to follow their dreams. Maybe, just maybe, they will be able to use our similarities as a starting point as they embark on the lifelong journey of self-identification and self-discovery. Having the opportunity to pursue my dream of becoming a physician, coupled with the potential impact that I can have on communities that are often neglected is the reason that I want to be a healthcare professional.

First, let’s begin by stating that my expectation of a nurse is that he or she must be a good communicator, empathetic, patient and have good physical endurance. I feel that I exemplify these qualities which would make me successful as nurse in the future. As a little girl growing up, I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse. As a young adult, I continue to have the desire so I can help people through some of their most vulnerable times. Also my passion to become a nurse evolves from past experiences that have dramatically impacted my life: for example, my father’s death, my illness, and my personal interaction with nurses.

Coming from a medical family it was written onto me at an early age that health care and making people feel better is heartwarming and inspiring. One of the most influential people in my life is my mother, who is a nurse herself. Having watched my mother helped so many people, I grew into knowing that there is no greater reward in life. My mother's joy inspired me to become a nurse.

I chose to interview my mother who is currently a nurse at canton nursing center. She had said before she never stopped studying, she always read the book of human anatomy. In high school she was an average worker most of the time her grades were great she didn’t skip school. After high school she went to college for about 4 or 5 years during her time in college she studied hard and never skipped. My grandmother was my mother’s role module my grandmother was a nurse for a while and that inspired my mom to be a nurse. My mom said my grandmother always knew what the right thing to do and say. Her thoughts going to college were whether or not if she was going to pass or fail. My mother’s grades never really changed in college. My mother went

My mother resilience and her doctor dedication to their patients is what inspired me pursue a carrier in medicine. Over the years, my desire to help other has been strengthen with every chance I get to spend with patients either through volunteering or working at the hospital.

Considering my prior health history, one would believe that I wanted to become a nurse because of my lifelong health problems. However, this is not the case. Although living with a chronic illness opened my eyes to the healthcare industry, there was another event in my life that determined my chose career path. In the spring of 2014, my grandmother fell and fractured her spine in several places. After a failed surgery, she developed hospital-acquired pneumonia, and spent a few weeks in the hospital. My mother had me come into her room time and time again to ‘say my goodbyes,’ believing that my grandma would not recover from her illness. But, Grandma persevered, defeating the disease and making it back into the real world.

Surrounded by cake and ice cream, on my twelfth birthday was not so delightful. By the time it was ready for everyone to skate, something tragic happened. My mother put her skates on, and as she approached the skate floor, someone’s backpack was wrapped around her skate wheel. As she tried to move her foot, she immediately fell on her right ankle, crushing every bone. As my mother cried in pain, I began to weep with her. When we arrived at home I had to help my mother with overwhelming responsibilities such as, helping her get up thirteen stairs, giving her medicine, fixed her food, and helping her bathe. When it was time for doctor's’ appointments, I listened very carefully to make sure I could help her. As my senior year was approaching, it was always the difficult question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” When people would ask me that question, I would immediately think about helping my mom when she broke her ankle. I have always dreamed about taking care of people and making them smile. So I discovered being a registered nurse would be the perfect job. Nursing is not a simple field it is highly stressful.
