new ways of working and practices that health visiting would offer. During this week I felt I had stepped out of a job that I was competent, comfortable and qualified for and reverted back to being a student again. My mentor did keep introducing me as a qualified nurse who is currently training to be a health visitor which made me feel less of a novice but in this first week it did almost feel like starting from very beginning. I was welcomed by the team and the other staff in the health centre which gave me a sense of belonging from the first day. The week was very interesting and I learnt a lot about the role of the health visitor and where they fit into the wider healthcare team.
I would love to have the opportunity to graduate from nursing, because I have a strong desire to help people and make a difference in the quality of their lives every day. What is also noteworthy about nursing is that there is no another job as rewarding as being a nurse. Each day I will have an impact on patients´ lives, and have the opportunity to save someone´s life. I think there is no reward greater than that. Searching in different schools, I found that this program has a bunch of resources not only solid basics of nursing theory , but also nursing practice as well as clinical experience that will give me the opportunity of been successful in different practice situations.
I researched nursing school programs and selected one with a night/weekend program that would allow me to continue working full-time during my studies. I have a family that I needed to continue to provide for and this seemed to be the best fit. My nursing school decision was fortified when I was selected for an award by the nursing faculty from all four semesters for excellence in the clinical setting. After graduation, I began my nursing career working as a case manager for orthopedic worker’s compensation patients. During this time I gained critical knowledge of the importance of

I know that there is so much hard work I have to go through to get to that position though, but I’m already starting it. I have volunteered at the Staten Island University hospital for a year. I worked hard to get good grades into the Medical Program at school. Lucky for me those good grades paid off because I have been a certified medical assistant since I was 16. I am determined to obtain all of the experience and knowledge that it is required to get to where I want to be when I am older.
My Goals and Walden University Vision and Mission As a practicing nurse for over 29 years, there were limited advancement opportunities for nurses. In today’s nursing field there have been vast opportunities for advanced degree nurses. My ultimate professional goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. In order to obtain my goal, I will have to return to a university to continue my education. I have chosen Walden University due to the flexibility that will allow me to continue to work and ultimately achieve my goal.
This specialty internship program will also assist with retention of nursing staff. Career development programs such as internships are an effective retention strategy. Purpose The purpose of this internship is to expose the student to the outpatient environments of hemodialysis. As most undergraduate nursing programs lack dialysis-specific clinical experience, nurses are in need of a strong educational program (Singer, 2006). As the number of patients on dialysis increases, so does the demand for hemodialysis nurses (Dunbar et al., 2012).
Since I became a registered nurse in UK, it was always in my agenda to continue further studies and gain higher qualifications. So, I registered for a course in Open University towards my degree qualifications while I was in Eastbourne working in a nursing home. Then I moved to oxford to work in an acute general medicine where I worked for 19 months while continuing my studies towards my degree. I also did a short course at Oxford Brookes University in addition to my studies at Open University. My study at Open University as well as Oxford Brookes University helped me to enhance my writing and research skills.
The symposium provided me with the fundamental knowledge of the issues that the health care industry faced today. During the past year and six months I strived to learn more about public health both through coursework and work in the field. Since practical experience is an essential learning tool, I went on to expand my experience in the field of public health. I was fortunate to have landed a job as a Clinical Research Coordinator at Borgess Medical Center, the position allowed me to view public health at a different level. Working as a Clinical Research Coordinator I was responsible for overseeing and coordinating the initiation, implementation, and development of clinical research protocols to meet requirements and objectives of Borgess Research Institute, Food and Drug administration (FDA) Regulations and ICH Guidelines, sponsor Guidelines, Institutional Review Board and Investigator and patient needs.
In addition, I will learn how to work as a critical care registered nurse. Prior to this clinical week, I was afraid of having a patient assigned to me, but I have overcome this fear. I want to learn and be able to provide patient care and distinguish any potential problems my patient may be having. Furthermore, I want to be able to communicate with the doctors, family, and other members of the healthcare team about my patient. This will enable me to become a well- rounded nurse.
