I decided to choose one of my junior staff nurse as my learner. Hana (not real name), she is qualified State registered nurse (SRN) from Private Nursing College. She has been working in our hospital for six month and her appointment has been confirmed as staff nurse in organization. Hana look familiar with the ward facilities and common procedure in ward such as receive new admission, transfer out patient, writing nursing report and assist doctor whenever needed. Hana show interest in learning and willing to be my learner for the purpose of these assignment.
The Journal of Nursing Education states, “researchers found the concepts of caring and nurturance were identified as high motivators for choosing nursing” (Williams, Wertenberger, Hames, Gushuliak, 1997). At that time, I was working back office at a Urology office and was going to school. I decided one day that to be able to provide for my daughter if something were to happen between my husband and I that I could always support us. Therefore, my journey began. A Journey Amongst Friends I was fortunate enough to go to nursing school with my best friend Harley.
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.
My knowledge and experiences that I have gained from various sociology, health, and cultural courses will greatly benefit me in the nursing field and in taking the greatest care for my patients. I truly believe that I will be someone who they can count on to focus on what is best for them and make the best decisions to improve their well-being. When you are a nurse you need to see the whole patient, not just their physical health. Whether it is to ease their pain, lessen their fear, comfort their sadness, support their wishes, or to simply be next to them to place a smile on their face, I will give them nothing but my best to contribute to their needs in those
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 most relate to the biopsychosocial model. I believe that a person’s faith and the power of prayer can affect their health, physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. I also belief that a person has a choice in their health and nature can play a huge impact on a person’s overall wellbeing. Over my years of nursing, I have incorporated different holistic practices into my treatment plans including acupuncture, yoga, massage, meditation, and prayer. I talk to my patients and their families about balanced diets, physical activities, fresh air, and having close personal relationships are in regards to health and balance.
In order to accomplish goals, a plan must be laid out. My educational goal is to be a Licensed Practical Nurse which in turn will lead to my career goal of becoming a home health nurse. will lead to a satisfying health profession where I can assist those in need of improving the status of their health. My career goals is to become a Home Health Nurse. Nursing is a career filled with endless personal and professional rewards.
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.
When I become nursing board credentialed nurse, I will be an expert in the field of infusion nursing this would allow me to become an educator for a venous access team which would include the training of picc line placement. I also would like to attend national conferences as a speaker to share my knowledge with my peers. Personal Short-Term Goal Personal Long term Goal Needed Skills I feel the needed skills would be an education which will allow me to obtain the job that I desire and would good at, Milestones for Goal Achievement Time Management Conclusions and Recommendations Goals in life are important for a person to succeed. I believe writing them down helps to bring them to fruition. Writing thoughts and ideas down on paper helps a person to formulate a plan for success.
