During the second term my focus has been on developing my skills to become a more valuable member of the health visiting team. My previous career within emergency nursing means I find the drop in clinic setting to be the area I am most comfortable within and this unscheduled method of contact a familiar one. I have been assisting the health visitor (HV) or child health advisor (CHA) each week with at least one clinic to improve my skills within this setting. This enables me to see a wide range of more common concerns and queries on a high volume basis but within a setting that affords me the opportunity to ask a colleague for advice if I am unsure. I feel I am learning a diverse range of subjects that will better equip me to answer questions
At this Center the patients are Cancer related. As I spend more time as an intern at this Center I was inspired by Dr. Howard Bruckner work how he help and gave hope to many of these people, had myself raise some questions on the concepts and wonder what it would be like to be a part of the Bruckner Oncology team or somewhat relate to this field. I believe that Medical Assistant program classes at ASA College help gave me an opportunity to pursue my passion for helping those with medical problems and let me feel at ease on the first hand training at the Center of Bruckner Oncology. At the Bruckner Oncology Center I learn to Answering phones and making appointments ordering supplies, greeting patients, pulling and filing patient charts, calling in or faxing prescriptions, converting charts to electronic charting. Hopefully I can take these skills I learn and better myself in life.
I havce known since from the time that I was little that I wanted to do something healthcare Up until I discovered the Physician Assistant career, I wanted to be a doctor, but was hesitant to do so because of all the schooling, responsibilities, and extra stress that goes along with it. I am not saying that being a PA does not have responsibilities and is not stressful, but in comparison to a doctor, these items are considerably less of an issue. As I stated in my first reflection, I have a true passion for people and for helping them. NO matter what their problem may be, I am always trying to be the “helper” and do anything I can to make their day a little better than it was before. Having a career that is designed specifically to help people will fit me perfectly.
I really get to know my patients and try and make them feel as comfortable as they can because nobody really wants to be stuck in the hospital. I’ve always been interested in going into the medical field but I didn’t really have a clue as of what I wanted to do. Some days work can be a living hell and other days it doesn’t seem like work at all. It’s an incredibly gratifying feeling to make a difference to somebody. I mostly see older patients in the hospital because I work on the orthopedics floor.
My current job autonomy is necessary. Working in hospitals and nursing homes the majority of my nursing career, becoming completely autonomous was like culture shock for me. In a hospital you have co-workers, doctors, PT, Pharmacy all at your fingertips for information or advice and just help. Working out in the community was hard for me at first because I was not use to being completely alone. I did learn a lot with this job and have grown tremendously, since starting.
Some insurance company will make you go through a course with a trained nursed over the course of several days or several weeks before they will okay procedures or payment on some illness. I really believe that this is a good way to not only start managing the rate of fatalities due to lack of knowledge but braking the cycles that most families carry by allowing the individual to become more responsible in responding to the nurse to find out all they can for their situation. It makes them feel more in control and you will find that more and more people will continue to use this type of set for future issues that may
That's when I realized I wanted to become a physical therapists. While I was in rehab, I started to learn more about the body and became more interested in it. The recovering process was no joke! The pain I had to deal with was incomparable to any other pain I had before. The doctor gave me pain killers to deal with the pain and I used some it but mostly my faith in God helped me get through this situation.
As a junior in high school, I am approaching some very big life decisions fast. Now is the time in my life where I am expected to start narrowing down career choices and looking into the right schools that fit my choice. I have decided that working as an OBGYN is a major possibility because of my fascination in the medical field and the mentorship I am involved in at Augusta health. After looking into this career more this year, I have discovered so many accounting factors. However, reaching the title of an OBGYN takes time, money and love for the career which is the reasoning behind this paper.
I have been out of school for many years, but I feel that now is my time to achieve my goals and return back to school and become a registered nurse. I have realized so many things have changed since I was last in school but I am willing and able to adjust to a new way of doing things. I anticipate many challenges along my path for academic success, such as not being as informed as those who just graduated. I also feel that I am going to have trouble understanding some words used in the educational process. It has been a long time since I have been required to use or learn new vocabulary.
My goal for my future is to become a nurse anesthetist. I chose this profession because I have had a lot of experience in hospitals between the both of my parents’ several admissions into the hospital. I like the fast paced environment in a hospital and the fact that I can help someone excites me. It is my personality to want to help someone but I am not the kind of person that would want to perform surgery, but I do like jobs that put me under pressure. The profession of nurse anesthetist, to me, is the perfect balance between my likes and dislikes.
