Becoming A Psych Nurse: A Case Study
Hello Karen, I enjoyed reading your introduction. I laughed when reading about your fear of needles, as I also fear needles and still feel faint when given a shot. I never thought that I would be working in healthcare either. My older sister has been a nurse since 1970 and was encouraging me into the nursing field after I had lost my job at 44 years old. Going back to school at that age was very intimidating and I envisioned myself working in mental health. My favorite rotation was also the psychiatric rotation and I wanted to be a psych nurse. It sounds like you love your job and I wish you all the best in this class and in completing your BSN.

    New Graduate Nurses: A Case Study

    Approximately 20% of the United States “Baby Boomer’s” will be over the age of 65 years old. In 2013 there was a total of 44.7 million adults aged 65 and older in the US. Maryland’s population is approximately 6.5 million with 22% the population at age 65 and older by 2030 ("Administration on Aging," 2014, p. 10). Despite the growing number of older adults there is a shortage of registered nurses working in clinical environments that service this population. New graduate nurses often have negative attitudes toward working in environments that are heavily populated with seniors. As the number of older adults increase the demand for nurses will likely increase in all inpatient and outpatient care settings. Nurse education programs provide students…

    Summary: A Career As A Medical Assistant

    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. After completing my RN in May of 2015, I decided that I really enjoyed being a mentor and teacher to other nurses. 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…

    Nurse Anesthetist Research Paper

    I interviewed Dr. Janet Geyer and received some great information from her. Geyer sand the hardest part of becoming a doctor was “The lack of personal time, everything became about school.” I knew that going into the medical field would be hard and the majority of my time would be spent studying, but hearing it from a doctor makes it real to me. I asked Geyer what makes her happy to be a doctor and why, she said “I like the intimate part of being a nurse, people tell me more than what they would normally tell others and sometimes I am really able to make a difference.” I thought about what she said and I would love to make a difference in someone’s life, but I also need to remember that I cannot get too attached to my patients. Geyer said that if she could go back and give herself advice from when she was in college she would tell…

    What I look forward to the most, at the end of this experience is knowing not only am I advancing my career and knowledge, Ill also be providing my family with a better life. My ultimate goal is to have my Acute Care Nurse Practitioner license. At the same time Im most fearful of the stressors in my life and how it will effect my school work. Im working full time and Im the only one working. So now I have to be strong for my family and be a strong student as well. I have very high expectations of myself and not reaching my best is another fear I have for myself. But with the support of my family and friends and a positive attitude, I know I will overcome any obstacle I face. When I graduated from nursing school, I decided I was going to go into Psych and geriatric psych at that. Straight out of nursing school and jumping into psychiatric nursing, I found that I lost a lot of medical skills that others would gain from not working on a medical unit. After 3 years of this I finally decided I would bridge over into medical-surgical nursing. This terrified me. Even though I wasnt a new…

    Pediatric Nurse Application Essay

    Health Ed. has been really easy because we have pretty much covered most of that units, even the CPR unit. I have also used what I have learned in this class outside of school mostly with my family because when they would not know what something means I would always be able to tell them what it means. I have also noticed that I understand what my doctors and more specifically what orthodontist is saying during my appointments. I will use what I have learned in this class to my advantage while in college and nursing school. If I could go back in time I would not want to change anything but I would tell my 9th grade self to relax and that I made the right choice, if not one of the best choices so far. I think five years after graduating from Wheeling I will be in the process of getting my registered nursing degree and after ten years I see myself having a nursing job and maybe working as a neonatal nurse if possible by then. In ten years a lot will be different about me but I see myself being in a good place. I really enjoyed being in this program and I am going to miss it, but I am excited that I am moving to CNA next…

    Becoming A Nurse Practitioner

    Everyone at some point in their life has made a trip to either the doctor’s office or the hospital. Many times, it can take hours to finally get seen by a doctor, and sitting in the waiting room is the last thing a person that is ill wants to do. According to Ann Hamric, Judith Spross, and Charlene Hanson (2009, 87) , their book Advanced Practice Nursing: An Integrative Approach states: “ The APN role that has shown the most significant growth is the NP. The number of RNs educated as NPs increased by 43.5% between 2000 and 2004 and more than doubled from 1996 to 2004.”…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Nurse

    Hello everyone, My name is John Santiesteban and I’m currently a nurse. I am attending this class in order for me to achieve my masters in nursing. My enthusiasm for nursing first took root and flourished after losing my father. My father became very ill and needed medical care. When I saw that my father was starting to become weak and frail, I thought to myself "What access would my father have to good quality health care?" I asked my mother "Where is the nearest hospital?" and my mother replied, "It's about twenty miles away child." It was from that moment on I began to realize a desire to engage in a profession that focused on the area of helping sick people. After losing my father I made the initiative to start a new direction in my life to pursue a career in healthcare. So I decided to become a surgical tech to test my interest. After completing my certification, I was able to do a lot of hands-on work with sick…

    Essay On Nursing Experience

    I love to learn because I want to provide the most competent care that I can, and because of my mere fascination with medicine. Recently, I was a preceptor for a student nurse. He was the husband of a patient I had taken care of a few times. The first time was during a miscarriage, this was a devastating end to their many fertility treatments. We all spent hours talking and crying through this hospital stay. The next time I took care of them was a much happier visit; she was in labor. Everything was going wonderfully until there was a drop in the fetal heart rate. Upon examination, I discovered that there was a prolapsed cord. Feeling the incredibly slow pulse of the cord on my hand during the entire cesarean section was one of the scariest moments of my life. The outcome was great. They had a thriving baby boy. Five years later, his father is almost done with nursing school, and he was telling me that I am one of the reasons he is becoming a nurse. This was a pivotal moment in my career; it was when I realized the immensity in which I can impact lives. I want to continue to do this, and as a Nurse Practitioner I will dedicate my life to helping those in…

    Personal Narrative: My Migration To America

    Everything in my life began to change, from my friends to my attitude. My future was looking bright. The only thing left was to pick a profession, something that would ignite my spark. That was when my parents were involved in a terrible accident. In March 2009, my parents were pedestrians struck by a car. My mother was diagnosed with a fractured tibial plateau, and was wheelchair bound for five months. During this difficult time I accompanied her to numerous appointments and met many different medical personnel. Surprisingly, I became inspired. It was an awful time for my family, but it was an experience that changed my life. Everything about the healthcare system fascinated me. I asked many questions about medications, imaging techniques that were used on my mother, and job descriptions of practically everyone I had encountered. I remember telling a nurse about how I found the hospital to be the most interesting place that I have ever visited and she replied, “Well if you feel that way, you should become a doctor, they practically live…
