My chosen career path at this point in life is to be an Executive Director for a Long Term care Nursing Facility. In the world of for-profit Long Term Care Nursing, everything has a dollar amount associated with it. The average cost of a LTC Nursing facility in the state of Maryland is about $7k per month; unfortunately, people are not able to pay out of pocket this amount of money and the financial burden can tear families apart when coming to the decision that their loved one can no longer care for themselves.

It is my analysis of the financial burden and decisions we had to make for my grandmother is that as the demand increases for long-term care as the baby boomer population ages, Medicare and Medicaid will be forced to reevaluate how they pay for long-term care. Many states are not equipped to handle the comprehensive needs of this aging population (Ford, Henderson, & Handley, 2010). Also, families are forced to take on enormous financial burdens due to the lack of coverage by Medicare (Can Medicare, 2015). The are no true pros to this situation.

My most significant endeavor since attending community college would be helping my community to receive an Adult Daycare.

This number is projected to continue to grow and it is important that the right care is provided and also that the elderly is properly taken care of as they make this transition.

My Intent to Be a Nurse Practitioner Coming from a third world country where there aren’t many opportunities for work and funding for education, proceding to nursing school was a grand opportunity. The privilege to attend a government subsidized school where top students in the region compete to get into the program that allowed only 60 students per year was indeed a blessing. As clinical rotations began, what was once considered a mere opportunity evolved into a true passion for caring as I truly love and enjoy nursing and helping people.
My interests in these two areas stem from the fact that I have worked in homecare before becoming a nurse and have seen how disenfranchised the elderly population can be. I hope to be one of the voices that can further advocate for them. I am from an island where healthcare is deficient in many areas due to the lack of medical manpower and supplies available which often lead to serious consequences. There are many areas like this around the world that could benefit from competent nursing practices. In addition to providing my services as a nurse, I am very dedicated to my immediate family, which consists of myself, my husband, and two sons.
