Until I decided to go to Lenape, I had not had any plans for what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I learned I could graduate as a Certified Nurse Assistant, I was interested immediately. However, I knew I wanted to accomplish more than that. I love learning and I have a lot of empathy so I knew healthcare would be a perfect match for me. I chose nursing specifically because I love the idea of taking care of people, and nurses make a huge difference and have such an impact on the patients and their loved ones lives. In my junior year, I went to Butler hospital to shadow one of the nurses that worked there. During her shift, she was always busy and working hard in order to take care of all her patients. The thought of working hard
For over fifteen years I have enjoyed being an LPN. Working in nursing homes taught me to how to patience and how to use my knowledge to help my patients to the best of my ability. My time as an alcohol and drug rehabilitation nurse helped me to appreciate the courage it takes to admit to a problem, ask for help and the strength it takes to work to get better. Working in a hospital taught me to how to work in a fast paced setting while keeping my sanity intact.
There are many people who find it more satisfying to enhance the lives and to help other. People with same deliberation can become a certified nursing assistant and can start a new career. This will open the new future doors for you. To become a nursing assistant, you need a few weeks training and after that training you will be writing a certification exam. Once you have passed the exam, you will get the certificate.
Due to budget cuts in Illinois, there are beginning to be a shortage of certified nursing assistants (CNA) in the nursing homes. CNA’s play a major role with providing basic care to patients and assisting with adult daily living activities. Basic care includes bathing, toileting, dressing, and last feeding. Feeding is a critical area for speech-language pathologist (SLP) in this setting. Issues affecting most SLP’s are the lack of responsibility following protocol with patient’s diet and delivering swallowing and aspiration precautions.
My top interest at school is The Academy of Health Professions. This rigorous program gives classroom instructions, hands on laboratory, and clinical experience. As a class of 17 students, we volunteer at the local clinical to get experience as Certified Nursing Assistants. Every other class, I take the role of an adult for 2 hours and become a CNA. I provide my patients with oral care, bathing, feeding, and changing linen.
I am attending Colorado Christian University to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I started my medical career as a Combat Medic in the US Army. Since then I have become a Registered Medical Assistant and a Registered Phlebotomy Technician. I now work in a dialysis clinic and soon will be a Certified Dialysis Technician too. I decided to become a nurse because I feel I am capable of achiving it.
Helping and doing things for people is something I have always enjoyed, and I believe nursing combines these perfectly. I have always liked working with kids and for that reason, I want to be a Neonatal Nurse. A lot of people think that a Neonatal Nurse just has the responsibility of receiving the newborn and feeding it. Even though at times this might be true a Neonatal Nurse has other roles. A Nurse has to track the heartbeat of the babies, check breathing and make sure their respiratory system works.
I wanted to help people, and it made it ten times better that I loved the work as well. I went on to take Health Science II my sophomore year which also earned me the CTE Scholar award, along with some of my classmates. After that year with Mrs. Pelz I took an advanced class called Nursing Fundamentals. This was an even better year, we went to nursing homes and performed CNA work and to the hospital to work with actual nurses. In this class I studied hard and got my CNA.
I have work as a certified nursing assistant in the surgery unit and we have already implemented most if not all these patient safety measures. As a nurse, I will continue to practice and perform these safety measure that I have learned from my colleagues. Any patient that enters my unit will be asked to identify themselves. Patient will be asked to say their name and date of birth, while I make sure that their information is accurate on their arm band. Next step in the process, is to attain a medical history, from their current medication, health history and any allergies.
I decided that I wanted to become a doctor. I started volunteering at a local Hospital in emergency room. This helps me more by realizing how I wanted to save lives is what I do with rest of my life.
I attended nursing school and earned an LPN license, but I was determined to get my BSN. I knew nursing school would not be cheap, so I looked for a job as a patient care tech in a hospital. I knew I wanted to work someday in a hospital. I found a job on a pediatric floor and fell in love with my new job. This floor also has a special hall just for cancer patients.

While in my undergraduate career, I chose the field of Social Work because I felt a desire to help people.
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!
Nursing At 21 and with only one year of medical assisting experience. I figure it was an okay job. After all, I was getting paid more than minimum wage. Initially going into a trade school for fast pace and expensive learning that is what I wanted more money in little time requirement.
Growing up with parents very passionate about the health care field has had a tremendous influence on my decision to pursue the health sciences. This was because of two things: my interest in helping others and my fascination with science. I was always been interested with science in grade school mostly because it interested me to see how living organisms functioned. This was especially true when it came to the human body. Helping others has also always been a passion of mine for as long as I remember.
