For two years I watched and assisted students achieve their dream of obtaining a degree. They did this in part because of the explanation I provide that those without a degree would always be the last considered for a position and the first let go. I proved my point this past February when reductions in force (RIFs) cost me my beloved job. How could I allow myself to become such a walking contradiction? I could not and would not continue that hypocrisy.
Conclusion Narrative/descriptive essay My first day of clinicals Introduction: Starting over can be hard and I recently had to learn to adjust to it. I was laid off from a clerical job after 6 years of working there. I had to make a big decision. I was a 32 year old single woman with no children when this happened and I felt like starting over was not an option. It might be easier trying to find a desk job but always wondered if another layoff would be inevitable.
My son Kaleb was born May 24 2008, and from that moment on I wanted to give him everything he deserves. I tried to go back to college right after my son was born, but I had no idea what I wanted to do for my future and taking care of Kaleb wasn't cheap. I was constantly working to pay for the expenses of Kaleb, while paying for the rest of the expenses I had. Finally four years later, I made the best decision I could for my family and that was going back to school. One of the many reasons why I came back was that I did not was to continue being in a factory the rest of my life.
It’s amazing how much I learn in the past two years at ASA College. It’s just so hard to believe that less than a week we will be done with my education. I must admit I will miss spending my time here. But most of all I will never forget how my experience as an Intern Medical Assistant with Cancer Patients. Making a difference in someone life just fascinates me, knowing that I have the power to help someone.
In an instant moment my mind was transformed. I was ready to continue moving forward in my life. Two months after my daughter left, I decided to start school to obtain my bachelors degree in business. I made a deal with my daughter that I would continue going to school during the time she was in school until it’s completed. I was up for the challenge even though I had nothing to lose, but had much to gain.
In my own experience, I applied in 40 plus different hospitals all over the United States of America, without any particular position, no particular choice of shift, and with a willingness to relocate closer to the target job. Surprisingly, I was not able to find any new grad position for nine months after passing the NCLEX. Most of the hospitals do not even offer that new grad residency program Taylor was talking about in her article. Almost 80% of the time, in my search for a job, hospitals require at least one year of experience to be hired; and if ever they offer a New Grad job, they prefer the Bachelor degree, “not” the Associate degree that I have, unlike what Taylor said on her article that University of Tennessee Medical Center (UTMC) are looking for “varying” degree and backgrounds. If not for my mom who knew someone from Hemet Valley Medical Center, I would still be looking for a job right now.

The military didn’t really do a very good job back then in combating the issues of marines coming home. I finally had to take a “post deployment health assessment” which is where a very old looking lady told me that I needed to see professional psychiatric help. The diagnosis was PTSD and moderate alcoholism, which was wrong, I wasn’t a alcoholic, I was just numbing (which today I know to be a sign of coping with PTSD) They sent me to a psychiatrist, who I went to for 3 weeks. On the third week he told me that he was going to put me on Klonopin and Ambien for my sleeping and anxiety. That didn’t sit well with me.
I was a huge jock in high school and it has taught me to be a team player and a leader in my life. Right now I do not have a job. I was laid off by my last employer and I felt that it was a sign that I should go back to school again and get that all important degree. I’m going to get my associates first then I’m going to get my bachelors. I have been in the retail business my whole professional career and felt that a business degree would help me achieve my goals.
My mom has some college experience but never got any kind of degree and does home daycare. During my junior year in high school I had a job working as a cashier at taco bell I worked there for over a year. I decided to quit my job as I entered my senior year because I needed to focus on school because I was going to take a lot of leadership responsibilities. I believe I had made the right
