I felt the same way as all of you. I am a Registered Respiratory Therapist. We all have a clinical based knowledge. Nurse and Respiratory Therapist is a part of clinical team who work always together and help each other out in the hospital. I am also anxious and enthusiastic about to follow my graduate classes at GCU. I want to tell Kristin that, we have a quality resemblance regarding our career path. I have the same goal as yours. My objective for achieving a MBA degree is to advance my career path and obtain a managerial level in the health care system. I hope we all gain more knowledge as well as great leadership and organization skill that allow us to improve overall quality of care in the hospital.
I would like to become a Health Information Technician, properly known as Registered Health Information Technician or RHIT. This position appeals to me for a couple reasons. One is because I like the medical field but do not have the heart to be a doctor (it seems too sad to me). I also like technology and this combines two of my interests into one job so therefore I believe it is a good career option for me. RHITs do not collect data themselves, they receive it first hand through things such as patient histories and test results.
The health career that I am most intrigued with is a certified registered nurse anesthesist or for short, CRNA. In the United States, a certified registered nurse anesthesist is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who has acquired graduate-level education and board certification in anesthesia. Certified registered nurse anesthesists provide anesthesia in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other qualified healthcare professionals. Certified registered nurse anesthesists are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural America, enabling healthcare facilities in these medically underserved areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, pain management and trauma stabilization services. In some states, certified registered nurse anesthesists are
Athletic Trainer Out of all the year round sports 1 in every 5 athlete gets injured. Athletic trainers help heal these athletes and prevent future injuries. The trainers need to be familiarized with the athletes they are working with and make an annual wage of about $42,000. An athletic trainer is useful for on the spot health care, treatment of muscle and bone injuries, and any other sport care needs. To become an athletic trainer a bachelors degree from a college or university is required.
Now my major goal is to finish my Bachelor’s degree as a Healthcare Technology and Management. I hope to pass this class and getting into the program for fall 2016. Nice meeting every one.
My childhood initiated a desire to help prevent and mitigate injury or illness; this soon flourished into an interest in the health care field. To help narrow my choices I explored as many science courses as I could. Talking with health care professionals and reading nursing textbooks I found in my aunt’s house piqued my interest in the nursing field and patient care. From there, I completed a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) course which further solidified my decision. Now, I am fully invested in becoming a nurse.
An emergency room physician assistant practice and perform medicine on a team with other physician assistants under the surveillance of an emergency room physician in the emergency department. They are dependent to examine patients, analyze injuries and diseases, and provide treatment to patients in the emergency department. In the emergency department, physician assistants would face and treat life-threatening injuries or non-threatening situations. Even though they work under the supervision of an emergency room physician, they perform the same tasks as the emergency room physician. They also work full time in the emergency room.
I am optimistic for my future and my education at Kaplan University is the foundation for my success. A career as a patient representative is very diverse. When I first decided this is the career path for me, I imagined
Veterinary Technician When trying to decide on a career path, a veterinary technician is a good choice for those who enjoy working with animals. It allows people to pursue their passion and also earn a comfortable living. The job of a veterinarian technician is much like the job of a nurse to a doctor. A veterinarian technician assists veterinarians with duties such as surgery and carrying out the orders they have prescribed. There are many areas available to a veterinarian technician such as working in research laboratories, zoo research as well as in wildlife.
The first day I stepped onto the floor, I felt overwhelmed and I questioned myself if I was meant for this line of work. I was assigned 14 patients. Soon after interacting with all my patients, my perspective and doubts changed. After leaving for college; I started my college days as a full time pre-nursing student. I continued to work as a CNA and
My long term goals are to acquire my Doctorate of Nursing Practice after completing the Master of Science in Nursing: Family Nurse Practitioner concentration program. I would use my advance practice license in a clinical setting and later give back and share my knowledge and expertise in an educator role. I enjoy educating others greatly; one of the most gratifying components of nursing. Meeting my short term and long term professional and academic goals would be highly rewarding. Knowing I was able to conquer a rigorous nursing program like Maryville University and now having the tools to play a vital role in helping others achieve optimal health would provide
Ever since my sophomore year of high school, I knew the medical field was the right choice for me. It wasn’t just the ability to have vast amounts of knowledge about the human body, but to be able to help people. Helping those who need it is a very rewarding idea to me. Although the school I am currently attending is not able to allow me to help people as a nurse. My decision to transfer is based fully on this programs direct entry nursing program.
In order to be a more competitive MBA applicant my career has been focused solely on producing extraordinary results and getting promoted, nothing else. While I was an analyst at the Office of Personnel Management I was able to save the 3rd-party assisted acquisitions office (Vendor Management Branch) $6M annually. While I was an analyst at the Internal Revenue Service I worked in acquisition oversight and was able to save the IT division $7.7M during fiscal year 2015. The first of these accomplishments led to two promotions.
Nobody is perfect. At some point in our careers and even in our lives, we all have committed a mistake or two –or more. To excel in what you do and become successful in your chosen profession, you must try to improve your skills, aspire to be better and work hard for it. Surely, being a respiratory therapist is a very fulfilling career but along with it comes great responsibility, pressure and working commitments. Being compassionate to patients and having an aptitude for technology and complex procedures may be essential to become a good respiratory therapist.
This week I had the opportunity to spend some time in both the OR and Endoscopy unit. Going into the practice days I was excited and optimistic about what I was going to take away from the experience, as I considered my possible future in working in the operative setting. However, by the second day of practice, I realized that I wasn’t overly excited about either of the units and that the expectations I had set out, didn’t quite match up like I had hoped. Even though I don’t feel as though nursing in either of the units is for me, I was able to take away new knowledge that I believe has enhanced my overall nursing practice.
By obtaining my MBA, I will have an essential tool to allow me to progress up to administrative positions. I believe MBAs will soon become a required degree to advance in the field of engineering. I will focus on the business side of engineering more than the actual calculations and designing. From the numerous projects that I have completed over the years as an undergraduate I have come to realize that, I am not as gifted as others in the engineering field who can create and design far beyond what I am capable of. I however, find that I am better at managing, finding what people are best at, and getting them to get the work done to reach all our requirements.
