My passion for healthcare lies with patient care. I enjoy taking care of patients and their family. I have chosen to become a family nurse practitioner because I can combine nursing and medicine to provide a higher level of care to my patients. As a nurse practitioner will be able to make an impact on my patient’s health through, health promotion, disease prevention, managing acute and chronic conditions and improving patient’s health (Wynne,
My dutie for my health science was HOSA. I was co president of HOSA and my duty was to lead the club and we did community service. We went to Monroe Middle School and conducted the Boys and Girls Club. My classmates and I went on different days throughout the week and taught them about different things. On Monday October 3rd the club was taught about reaching goals, on Tuesday October 4th they were taught about diversity, on Wednesday October 5th they were taught about being ready for the future, and on Thursday October 6th they were taught about personal characteristics.
Lani: I was helping for someone’s project for COMM 245; I was in the video lab, in the studio. I was on campus and decided to contact everyone I knew who comes to the school. I remember I sent out a snap saying guys I think there is a shooting, be careful and then I started sending out individual texts to people making sure they were okay, like hey are you good? Stay out of an area.
I braced against my opponent on the field-- calves burning, sweat soaking through my hair. Anxiety overcame me. We were tied with twenty seconds left on clock, and the opponent was sprinting beside me with the ball. As we both charged towards the goal, I tried my best to knock the ball out of his mesh. Yet, my attempts proved to be fruitless.
This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
As a medical assistant, I could be asked to instruct a patient to give a mainstream specimen. As my job, I would make sure I had a sterile container with lid and label ready, antiseptic wipes and the patient record ready. I would call the patient back into the office, asking the patient her name and DOB. After verifying that, I would record the information on the label on the container. Then I would explain to the patient what she needs to do to get a clean accurate sample.
During this time, I noticed the difference in care provided between the doctor and the nurse. The nurse offered a more trusting relationship, emphasized the use of holistic care, and provided empathy, which was much appreciated. Thereafter, I began volunteering at Lowell General Hospital and experienced my own interpersonal relationships with the outpatients. I felt truly satisfied during my time there, as I was able to apply my values and experience the gratitude and warmth that radiated from each patient that I helped. Therefore, I chose to pursue a career in nursing, as it is similarly based on my own beliefs and makes me feel like I make a difference in the lives of every person that
This is a personal statement for my application to the Family Nurse Practitioner Concentration in the Ball State School of Nursing.

In my public health career, I have had the privilege of serving diverse populations of various ethnic groups, religious and cultural practices across the globe. Specifically, I have worked with vulnerable groups including the homeless, hungry, pregnant, uninsured, and those infected with AIDS. With these experiences and having being an U.S. immigrant, I am able to easily relate to and empathize with patients of different religion, languages and/or culturally practices. Working with these diverse population has helped to expand my worldview. I have become more open-minded to different ways of getting the same result(s).
My interest in critical care began when I was 10 years old when my father was admitted to the intensive care unit at Highland Hospital after undergoing a triple coronary bypass surgery. At that time I did not know the extent of my father’s condition. My family and I did not know what was going on. At times, my family and I were afraid because we did not know if my father would survive. My father was vulnerable, but my family was vulnerable as well.
Good for you it looks like you have an exceptional understanding of these words. You have definitely helped me to expand my medical vocabulary. From your choice of words I learned that Neauropathy is a disease that caauses numbness or weakness which I had never known before. I also learned that Meningeal is three layers of membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Which, is also something I had never known before.
For as long as I can recall, I have loved to help people. It seems that I have always possessed a certain affinity for aiding those in need. Throughout my childhood, I would seek out those suffering both physically and emotionally. I was the girl on the playground who was always making sure that no one got injured and everyone was included. As I got older, I became the friend that people would look to for a shoulder to lean on or for guidance.
Hippocrates once stated, “healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” The ideology of Hippocrates to my knowledge is that, as time passes by, the body can heal minor wounds however, sometimes it is crucial to seek help when the health outcome is a great ordeal. The opportunity to seek help at the right time can have fundamentally affect on one’s mind and body. Traditionally, society cannot live without proper health. Health in the perception of overall social, environmental, physical, and mental outlook.
I am the kind of person that likes to be challenged and is determined. Ever since I was a kid, I was eager to learn new things. Although I was always like this, my determination and desire to be challenged grew stronger. I taught myself how to play guitar and piano, and even though it’s still a working progress, that is how it is with everything. It was a challenge
