'The beauty of a nurse is to nurture without restrictions. Being able to grow up within a family where we always stimulate each other concerning gaining the courage we require to work within a specific health and social care profession, such as my mom recently graduating with a degree as a learning disability nurse, my auntie working as a general nurse within broader hospitals, as well as encountering major aspects of experience within the health and social care sectors for several years, has given me personal reassurance to become a general nurse. Having my first ever experience at the age of 16 of being shadowed by a qualified nurse who mostly cared for the elderly with some form of disability inspired me to ascertain the philosophy of human behaviour, which is one of the major reasons why I've developed an ambition to become an adult nurse. This experience taught me that the challenging aspects of being a hardworking nurse are also rewarding, as it gave me the privilege of providing compassionate care while making a positive impact on the lives of individuals. …show more content…
I find great satisfaction in the idea of being there, supporting comfort, advocating for their needs, and caring for people throughout their most vulnerable moments. After completing 2 years within the nursing field by taking a unique path in another institution, I have arrived at a point in my journey where I continue to work within the healthcare role as a 1:1 support worker to enhance my knowledge and interpersonal and professional skills. This, as an additional benefit, advanced my understanding of the nursing role by ensuring that these skills and practical initiatives are applied when working closely with individuals and as a
My future career must focus on being there for those who cannot always be there for themselves. Working as a nursing assistant in a nursing home and on a rehabilitation floor in a hospital, I dedicated myself to assisting residents, ensuring they had everything they needed. Many residents in the nursing home lacked family support, so I became their ally and friend. The residents' faces would light up as they shared their small steps toward their physical therapy goals. For new residents feeling anxious about transitioning to a new place, I offered reassurance and showcased the facility's best aspects, creating a sense of home.
I am an experienced hardworking, reliable and motivated Senior Nurse. I lead by example and thrive on challenges. I am able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and this is evident when working well within the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). I have worked in Alder Hey children’s Hospital for fourteen years, working initially within the Oncology unit for eight years were I acquired a vast knowledge of sepsis.
I am in my third year of nursing and I am currently working in a hospital on an Orthopedic Neurological Trauma Unit. I collaborate with patients to identify the prominent health issues they are experiencing and advocate to ensure the care they receive is the most effective for their healing process. Patient interaction, learning new skills and evidence based practice, and being hands on with patient care are the benefits of my job that I enjoy the most. I form a bond with these patients and listen to their personal story to ensure that I give care individualized for each patient. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I can connect with patients of various age ranges and diagnoses by applying these
Introduction: As a first year student I have very specific goals in mind that I hope to achieve through my work in college. My main hopes for the future are that I pass all of my exams in the coming years, graduate and receive my honours degree in general nursing, become a registered nurse and finally get a job as a nurse. Throughout this essay, I have detailed my strengths and the opportunities that will help me finalise these goals along with my weaknesses and the threats that will hinder my progress. Strengths:
I always wanted to be a nurse or a teacher. I have been in the healthcare setting for 11years. I didn’t have an interest for coding until later on in my life. I’m glad I decided to attend college. It has been a challenge.
As the 6th child in a family of 10, I grew up witnessing the struggle that my parents went through to get us to where we are today. We came to America when I was five years old and we were stuck in a two bedroom apartment until my parents saved up enough money to move out. We were very poor and had very little money for food. Eating once a day was the harsh reality and the constant headaches from not having enough calories inside my system will always be in my memories. My brothers and I didn’t understand why the other students had better clothes to wear or why we couldn’t go on any fieldtrips.
My grandmother was a nurse. For thirty years she cared compassionately for her patients, and for three years she watched my demented grandfather receive lackluster care before he died. My experiences as a patient were vastly different from my grandparents’. The care I received and the compassion I was shown led me to pursue nursing as a profession. The discrepancy between our accounts of care shows that although nurses are compassionate, there is opportunity for growth.
If I could choose one word that would summarize the root of my motivation it would be this: mother. From a very early age, my mother taught me the importance, and the privilege of earning an education. She, having grown up in poverty, was persistent in her efforts to ensure her children developed a love for learning. This love has grown tremendously, and has led me down the path I am today. Currently, I am about to graduate with my Associates in Nursing, and it is a wonderful feeling to be accomplishing a goal that I had set.
In my time there, I have realized my passion for caring for patients and their families in their time of need. Why I Chose Nursing Nursing wasn’t always my first choice for my career. In fact, I hadn’t even considered it until I got my
I have worked in the nursing field for 13 years, mostly and currently in the ER (emergency department), but I have also tried long-term, med/surg, and correctional nursing. Emergency care is my preference. I hold the position of Clinical Coach/Shift Leader, and enjoy mentoring others in this amazing field, so i decided to continue my education and follow my dream of becoming a nurse educator. I would like to be able to instruct on a full time basis. Along with nursing, I have been heavily involved in EMS (emergency medical services), not only as a paramedic, but also as Lead EMS Instructor.
I was raised in a small francophone rural Northern Ontario village called Belle Vallée, a tightly knit community. Since I was young, I always had a passion for health sciences and my ultimate goal is to be able to study medicine. From there came my choice to pursue my studies in nursing as a path to learn the human anatomy/physiology, improve my bedside manners and interact with clients; all to build a solid foundation to study medicine. In my undergraduate education, knowledge was passed on in different settings: in small group with case-related scenarios, hands-on skills and placements, as well as academic lectures. I volunteered to help fellow classmates, in the group setting or outside the class; I was looked upon as a leader.
To pursue a Bachelor’s degree in nursing is pursuing much more than just a degree or profession- it is more so pursuing a privilege of value, compassion, humanity, and solicitude that surpasses any occupation a regular job can offer. The tasks put at hand, the lives that are touched, and the overall attentiveness put forth by these nurses is the reason so many lives are refined each and every day. One of the best things I believe I will personally obtain from being a nurse is being able to fulfil and change lives through people’s illness while being able to contribute to their life in a supportive way. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that progressively weakens muscle coordination throughout the body, and for the past nine years
Prescriptions, hospice, suturing, and diagnosis are all words I grew up hearing frequently in my home. Hardly did I hear words like physical fitness, mind-over-body, relaxation, or stress management. From an early age, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in health care. As I began to explore the options available in the field of medicine, I realized that encouraging a focus towards well care would most benefit the changing needs of the world. Through my undergraduate courses, I was able to better understand the responsibility amongst physicians in shaping a patient’s quality of life.
I am a strong believer in preventative measures when it comes to combating disease and disorders, by encouraging the health and immune systems of individuals to naturally inhibit these afflictions. I will take action in pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in agroecology and plant sciences, which will take me into the career of agricultural consulting from the extent of farms to household gardens. This career path will allow me to promote the most nutrient dense foods and biodiversity; the key constituent to a healthy immune system, to the diets of our local communities. I have confidence in a contemporary approach to health care that emphasizes health and resorts to pharmaceutical medication only when necessary.
I will love to apply to University of Portland because I have this desire and enthusiasm to pursue my dream which is becoming a nurse. I have always wanted this because I love the fact that I'm interacting with people while helping them and changing someone's world. One may ask why so far for nursing but as usually I respond with a smile and explain to them the resources and prestigious classes that UP offers. I’m from Rhode Island which is literally located in the other side of the country but that doesn't scare or stop me. One of my goals is to travel around the world and starting with the beautiful state of Oregon would be a great start.
