Why I Want To Be A Midwife

My plans for college are to either attend San Antonio College or the University of Houston-Victoria to study Pre-med. This is astonishing because I never actually pictured myself going through with the idea of me going to college and that I had more than a choice to attend college because of the fact that it is practically given to me with the way the education department and the government can issue us different types of financial aid.

As a future midwife, an important topic I think about would be how the fetus is affected by EDCs the mother is exposed to during pregnancy. EDCs are found in several everyday products such as cosmetics and cleaning, and prolonged stress is an everyday threat. These products and exposures can pose risks for the mother and her fetus/newborn, however, expecting mothers are often unaware of these theories, what their effects are, and how to avoid them during pregnancy. It important to provide education about the significance of exposure to EDCs and stress as they pertain to fetal and newborn development; this subject should be addressed as part of prenatal counseling to influence outcomes. Part of influencing practice on behalf of the midwives

Statement of Purpose I chose nursing as a profession because I saw the value of the intimacy of the nurse¬-patient relationship and the ability of the nurse to have a significant impact on a patient’s life. While I have cherished and excelled at inpatient nursing and have loved the connection with my patients and their families, my goal all along has been to advance my education and become a nurse practitioner. As a nurse, my happiest moments at the bedside have involved teaching, educational moments interspersed throughout the many tasks of the day, and time spent understanding patients and what was important to them as people. However, as a nurse, I have often felt that I was doing a disservice to my patients and their families by not

Midwifery is a role that hugely appeals to me as it isn’t just clinical skills that are offered to the women, it allows for a relationship to form with them and their families. This is important to me because it would allow the women to feel completely comfortable in a stressful but life changing event. I have always wanted to be take up a caring, supportive and helpful career and as soon as I did some research into the role of a midwife I was immediately hooked and knew it was the right path for me to follow.

My grandmother always taught me to stay true to myself and stand out in whatever I choose to do. She would say " Do what makes you happy honey". I wanted to be a teacher, lawyer, police officer and even some kind of superhero, Superwomen perhaps. She told me I could be anything I wanted then asked me what all those careers had in commom. I never thought about it until I actually figured out what I was truly wanted to be, A nurse and utlimatly a Nurse Practitioner serving in the United States Air force.

Over the course of thirteen years, I dreamed of pursuing a career in nursing. This partially due to my mother, an OB nurse, who continued to perfect her career over the course of twenty-five years. As a nurse, an individual is given the privilege to not only deliver an infant into the world but also to hold the hand of an individual who is leaving the world. With people as my passion, nursing presented itself as the perfect career. I could impact the lives of the people around me while practicing a career that I loved.

I became a Registered Nurse twenty four years ago. Over the years I have had to overcome many challenges and obstacles plus enjoyed blessings of experiences and opportunities to work in many different capacities. My nursing experience started when I was a senior in high school and obtained my nurse assistant certification. Upon completion, I held my first job as a nurse assistant in a nursing home working with the elderly. I enrolled in college at Bob Jones University in hope of completing their nursing program. Due to finances I was not able to continue my education so I participated and worked at a couple of Christian ministries, but my heart still desired to become a nurse. I moved to Virginia and applied to attend Norfolk General Hospital

College can be an exhilarating for some people, but terrifying for others. Certain individuals have special qualities that allow them to contribute to the college community like no other person can. These qualities are what make college fun for them. I believe that my greatest quality is my kindness for people. I have a hard time telling people no, which can be seen as an awful quality, but for me it’s a valuable thing. There are limits to when I stop saying yes; however, I tend to want to help people whatever their problem may be. I live to make others happy. I guess you could say that’s why I aspire to be an Obstetrician. They have the chance everyday to make a person overjoyed, and I want that. I don’t work hard in class because I consider

I finally decided I was going to study fashion in the 11th grade, which was a surprise to my family and even myself. Everyone wanted me to become a lawyer, but that was not my passion. It

When I was younger my parents always asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up. Well of course my answer was always a princess because who wouldnt want to be a princess and rule the world. As i got older my answer changed. Being a princess wasnt an acceptable answer anymore so instead I wanted to be a vetrinarian, but watching family struggle to get into school made me change my mind. I went to my backup option on being an accountant. I suddenly thought pursuing a career in Accouting would be a good option for me because I am capable of completing all the duties this jobs requires, work well with technology, and can easily adapt change within this career.

When I was 5, I wanted to be a princess. When I was 7, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer. When I was 9, I wanted to be the world’s greatest piano player. It was not until I was 11 years old that I decided that I wanted to help people and be involved in the medical field. It was at that age that I decided that I wanted to become a nurse, a registered nurse more specifically. Now, being an 11 year old, you do not necessarily know what you are signing up for. It was not until a couple of years later that I actually started to investigate what majoring in nursing actually meant.

I am a mature student urrently undertaing a higher education access course at Bletchley college with a view to go to University. By doing this I hope to secure a place on the Midwifery course to persue an exciting and challenging career, as I feel now is the perfect time in my life.

Since the beginning my school days, people have always asked me what profession I wanted to pursue in the future. I would always say that I wanted to become a doctor; my desire was to cure the sick and help the injured. This year I am a junior in high, which means that I am more aware of what I want to do. After researching the process it takes to become a doctor and the amount of money involved I knew that career was not for me. This year I have changed my major to nursing. When I graduate from high school, I plan to go straight into a four year university to become a neonatal nurse practitioner. After touring over twenty different colleges I found my dream school, in Nashville Tennessee called Belmont University. Belmont offers an amazing nursing program that I would like to be a part of it in the near future.

For as long as I could remember my mother would tell me to start thinking about what I wanted my career to be. She would tell me that the years will fly, and the next thing I would notice is it is time to pick a career. I always thought of the most basic things like a teacher or nurse. In high school I thought about becoming a children’s nurse. In my sophomore year I began to have doubts about what I wanted. In August 2010 which was the summer before my junior year my family suffered a loss.

I have worked as a nurse for 31 years. I began my career as a newly wed. Graduating one year after our wedding. We were living in Michigan and after graduation we decided to move back to Indiana near my parents to start my career and our life together. My first job was at Reid Memorial Hospital in Richmond, In. I worked on an Orthopedic Surgical Floor. It was fast paced and I was enthusiastic to learn everything I could and be an excellent nurse. I attended every seminar and learning opportunity I could to improve myself and achieve excellence. The first couple of years were challenging. I learned to face the staffing issues,being short staffed was a normal. The stress of trying to meet my patients needs effectively and efficiently while completing
