Why do I want to become an LPN is because I am a motivated health care professional seeking growth and advancement in the nursing field by continuing thru License Practical Nurse. I have all the qualities of becoming an exceptional LPN. My strengths lie in creative problem solving and managing priorities. I have also exceptional ability to work under pressure, goal oriented, dependable and conscientious team player capable of interacting effectively with all areas of management. I am highly organized, excellent in communication and customer service skills.
From a young age I was highly intelligent and had a very powerful drive. The friends I made in childhood are the ones whom I have carried on to my present day life. Since I came from a high school which did not provide many of the necessary recourses to a gaggle of students who felt lost, we were the blind leading the deaf. I vowed to help my future kin learn how to go about achieving a higher education. I decided to take the route of the Los Angeles Community College District because I felt in the long run it would be far more beneficial in my situation.
I am committed to excelling personally and professionally in all that I do and to serve as a role model by leading a healthy lifestyle. I believe that becoming a registered nurse will only be the beginning of my contribution to those I will help, and the medical field in general. After I get my BSN I plan to continue my education and get either my MD as an Orthopedic Surgeon or a masters as a Certified Nurse Practitioner. I feel as though I possess several characteristics that will positively influence my capability of successfully pursuing my goals as a healthcare provider. I have several strengths that will help my ability to connect with patients on a more personal level and not just business.
Chelsey Sousa March 29, 2013 Alternatives for Youth Foundation Since being committed, involvement with DYS has made a difference in my life in many positive ways. DYS has helped me receive my G.E.D, obtain and keep a job, find my true self and build a better self-esteem and develop a better relationship with my family; all of these things that will help me in the future. When I first got committed to DYS, I have to admit I wasn’t a big fan of school. My caseworker helped me to get involved in the GED program and classes held in the Young Women’s Center in Springfield, Ma. I started taking these classes In July 2012 every Thursday.
The most profound theme she discussed during the interview was her love and dedication to her family and church. Her dutiful involvement with her Church has given her strength and encouragement. Belonging to a Christian church and being a part of a spiritual family plays a vital role in living and enhances survival. The church is where she met her recently deceased husband and best friend. The personal interview with Ernestine was a meaningful opportunity that I am grateful for.
In some instances I could see if a family member, or student for that matter, would feel resentment for that individual bettering themselves. This is not the case at all with my family. Everyone wants to see me better myself and become successful in my chosen field. As my education continues, I feel no sense of, or need for, separation from family and friends. I still talk about the usual things with the same set of friends I have had since high school.
She says “nursing is assiting individuals to gain independence in relation to the performance of activities contributing to health or it’s recovery” (nursing-theroy.org Henderson par.4). That’s what I like about the health care profession. I like knowing that I to will one day be a part of making a difference in those who need help in my community. I want to help people better help themselves. My educational efforts will help me get the career I have always wanted.
In doing so, nurses must be care-givers and educators - providing the necessary information, skills and knowledge, to their patients to allow for self-nurturance, well-being, and growth. I started my journey in the field of nursing two years ago. My personal values, combined with the strong desire to help others influenced me to enroll in the Licensed Practical Nurse program. This career path has provided such great opportunities to help others, and has allowed for my own personal growth. I am continuously looking for new and great ideas to better the field of nursing and the ultimate goal of helping those in need.
When I decided to go back to school, knew that college would help me refresh my brain in certain areas that I may need improvement on. I also returned to school because I want a job that will fit with me. Since I have been out of high school, I have had quite a few jobs. The jobs that were employed at, I knew that those jobs were what I did not want to have a career out of for the rest of my life. So, after all the different jobs I had back to back and me not being satisfied with either one.
I have family members who are always saying negative things to me like- “It’s too expensive to attend college,” you’ll never find time,” it’s too late,” and etc. I have long separated from some of these family members because I needed boundaries and knew they were not part of my eventual goals for my life. I ultimately knew that if I didn’t separate, my dreams and a piece of myself would die. As a result, I make sure to concentrate my energy on various healthy challenges and this has helped me to forget about the negative words and impacts in my life. Thank God- that I have been able to succeed in most of my goals.
