Ten years seems like a long way away from now. However, I have put a lot of thought into where I want to be. In Ten years my goals aren’t super complicated and I plan on having them happen. In the time span of ten years I plan to be through medical school.
Currently I am based within the clinical business unit. I am the lead nurse on a number of studies ranging from meningitis, encephalitis epilepsy, ketogenic diet, transverse myelitis, HIV, DMD and infection. Working very closely with consultants within the trust on a number of duties and teaching. I have excellent abilities to visualise, gather information, articulate, analyse and solve complex problems and make decisions. I pose excellent organisation skills which I have demonstrated throughout my career, such as prioritising my workload, utilising IT skills to produce accurate records of study data, maintaining accurate case report forms and online data records in a timely manner.
A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.
In 1993, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing in the Philippines where I began my career as a medical-surgical nurse. Migrating into this country in 1995 was the catalyst to the nurse
The two areas I am the most interested in are medical-surgical nursing and emergency
There is a high significance for a nursing student completing their degree in nursing to start their career as a nurse practitioner. Nursing students must prepare to become nationally certified by an accredited body upon completion of their schooling in order to advance their career (AANP, 2016). This academic accreditation process helps to show that the students have met the requirements to practice as a Nurse Practitioner in their population focus testing. The scope of practice will be affected based on the certification that the practitioner obtains. If the Nurse Practitioner obtains a certification as a nurse specialists in pediatrics, oncology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, etc.
I have dedicated the last ten years of my life to multi-disciplinary self-discovery, and I hope to share my learnings to help others become the best versions of themselves. By exploring other fields, such as working as a nurse’s assistant, a massage therapist, and a yoga instructor, I’ve had the joy of holding space for people, in a vulnerable area. Holding space with a deep sense of empathy is my biggest strength. I enjoy meeting people where they are at, and working in collaboration to move them forward in a way feels authentic to them. Emphasizing and celebrating individuality and uniqueness is at the forefront of all the work I intend to do.
I have wanted to go into the health care field for as long as I can remember. My mom is a register nurse and I always wanted to be just like her. It always fascinated me learning about the body and how it works. I love to help people, love getting to do something new everyday, and I love a fast paced environment. Making a difference in people 's lives makes a person feel so good and being a nurse I could do that everyday!
Thomas, I agree with you, nursing would be almost impossible without nursing assistants. Throughout my nursing career, I have worked with several nursing assistants that are tremendous and a great asset to the nurse. I have also worked with a couple of nursing assistants that could take some advice and training from those tremendous nursing assistants. Having said that, my job as a nurse is dependent on the nursing assistant and we all should work together for what is best for the patient, for they are the ones who we are caring for and they should be of the utmost importance.
During my grandfather's hospitalization, a profound experience occurred that ignited a transformative period of personal growth. This experience shaped my desire to become a nurse. The significance of this event had a profound influence on my understanding of myself and commitment to nursing. As I sat by my grandfather's side, observing the tireless efforts of the nurses attending to his every need, I was struck by their unwavering dedication, compassion, and expertise. Their ability to navigate healthcare complexities while providing comfort and support inspired me deeply.
Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation
When I joined the healthcare field, I had absolutely no experience aside from having a mother who was a nurse. I was a cliché—a young, single mother working several dead-end jobs to support a little boy who had instantly become my entire existence. I can remember crying to my parents, and my mother said something to me I will never forget. "You pick yourself up; you focus on yourself and your son. So, things didn’t work out the way you planned.
“I am a nurse. I made it. I really just made it!”. Shortly after getting my nursing license, I spent hours submitting my resume to dialysis companies. The persistence paid off, and my journey as a hemodialysis (HD) nurse soon began.
Having a career in nursing can be very exciting and rewarding. My Aunt Audrey was the first Beard to enter the medical field. When I told her I was finishing my bachelor’s degree at the University of Toledo to get my certification in nursing, her face lit up like a Christmas tree during the holidays. Not only was she proud of me but my parents couldn’t be happier. It is a blessing having parents that support my dreams.
