Nature of work Core tasks for a LPN are to help provide medical treatment to patients. Some examples of that would be, bandaging up wounds, or giving medication, helping a patient get bathed or dressed. Being a LPN working in an assisted living home you might have to help someone walk or eat. Maybe you work in a hospital and you’re someone who’s monitoring someone, and you’re taking a report on their changes. Usually their main jobs are to take and record vital signs, such as weight, height, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate.
I watched the nurse’s and talked with them about what they did and how they did it (and how much money they made). That was when I decided what I wanted to do. I wanted to be an ER Nurse. Prior to becoming a nurse, I had the opportunity to become a Certified Respiratory Therapist. I felt that would benefit me as I went to nursing school.
I went to the cardiovascular health/open heart unit at Riverside hospital on October 7th to do the research. I also researched the job description which is available on the company’s website. I was also able to use the Nurse Manager as a source as she was a previous incumbent of the job and now is the current supervisor of the job. Processing the information

Math has always been one of my stronger subjects in school because it comes easy to me. I also have a huge interest in science classes as well. That has helped me make my decision in being a surgical oncologist. I have now done some research on this career to see if it is right for me and to see if it is what I want to do with the rest of my life. Hard work and dedication will pay off.

Lastly, a reflection of findings will be discussed as to how nurses could contribute the information from the two interviews into their own professional growth and development. The first interview question pertained to the interviewee’s role in their current position and their educational preparation. The CRNA interviewed had an extensive emergency and critical care background, which applies greatly to his position today as he works in several areas, including the ICU, of the hospital where he is employed. The nurse educator was previously a nurse practitioner in a family practice office where she learned the patient teaching aspect that transitioned into her educational role today. Each interview participant explained the unique contributions they each made as nurses and brought to their interdisciplinary team.
The financial conditions of my home did not allow me to go for a bachelor’s degree at that time as it was very expensive as we all were in nursing school at the same time. So I decided to go for my Associate Degree first and then move on. Marriage, relocation to USA, kids and so forth and on, pushed my BSN degree this far. Although being a nursing student was a bit of a challenge, the strong determination in my mind pulled me through the course .I loved the neuro- surgical /trauma ICU the best during my clinical rotations. So soon after my graduation, the hospital gave me the choice to decide where I would like to work and I decided to go for neurosurgery.
