BSN Career Plan
I plan to obtain a bachelor's degree of science in nursing. There are many different directions that I can go with a BSN. I could become a registered nurse, a critical care nurse, or even a clinical nurse educator. With such an open opportunity space I believe that I will be the most successful in the field. I’m choosing something that I am not ascertain of the reasoning why. An oncologist nurse provides care for patients that are diagnosed with cancer or at risk for getting the disease. I know that there will be tough experiences and rocky waters in this profession; but, seeing the strength one person can endure and being the strength for a patient when they can not be strong themselves will be one of the most rewarding thing I can witness.

    My personal nursing mission statement is changing and developing as my career advances, however, one core piece will remain constant. I will strive to provide the best, safest, most ethical and compassionate nursing care that I can for all patients and family members with whom I come in contact. I began my post-high school academic career as an accounting major. I enjoyed the challenge of manipulating a report until I had balanced. I thought I had found my calling. As my first semester was nearing an end, I found myself contemplating the thought of sitting behind a desk all day. I wondered if I would find fulfillment in this work as a career? The more I pondered this thought, the more I realized that this was not the right career path for me. I saw images of the medical assistant program in the catalog at the school where I was attending. I could not shake the thought of the medical field for a profession. I attained my medical assistant degree and worked in the field for 10 years. The longer I worked, the more I realized that there was more that I wanted to do, but my current degree restricted me from going further. 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 clear documentation, the ever-changing requirements of insurance companies and an extra measure of compassion for…

    Being in the medical field for the past ten years, I have seen the growth and changes in the medical field. When I began my nursing career as a medical assistant, I noticed many other nurses continuing their education to be able to have greater hands on approach in nursing. This opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that a nurse can do, whether it’s with direct patient care or being a resource to patients and other nurses around.

That is why I am continuing on with my education in hopes to one day receive my Master’s degree in Nursing and be able to utilize the knowledge and skills that I build, to educate patients. I still…

    I want to major in nursing and my intention is to become a certified oncology pediatric nurse in the future. An oncology nurse deals with working with patients who have been diagnosed with cancer. Yes, it is something that can be very painful to go through at times, but I think more on the positive side such as helping them with their needs and just making sure they feel comfortable. I want to be able to be that person along their side through all their hard moments and be able to provide some sort of happiness so that they won’t always have to remember about the situation that they are going through. Personally, I decided to focus on specifically becoming an oncology nurse because my grandpa is currently fighting cancer himself and even though…

    Majoring in psychology and English in undergrad let me pursue my life long love for books and literature all while continuing to work as an LPN. I grew a bigger appreciation for nursing when my grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009. Although my grandmother died nine months after her diagnosis, but the oncology nurses were the backbones of my family at the time. It was the first time someone very close to me was terminally ill, and we all felt helpless. The nurses were there to provide the proper end of life care for my grandmother and for us as a family. Caring for my grandmother had an immense influence on my career decisions. A year later, I began working as clinical care coordinator in radiation oncology and I was able to advocate, comfort, support, and be empathetic towards patients going through difficult cancer treatments. Concurrently, I discovered that I had a passion for community health and a desire to work towards promoting health equity. I earned a masters degree in public health. During my public health career I worked…
