Career Goals and Inspirations
During my life my career goals and aspirations have changed several times. I’ve wanted to be a teacher, someone who works with babies and a veterinarian. As I have gotten older my dreams and career goals have changed. Now my career goals are starting to become more of a reality. I’m looking to pursue a career in law, medicine, or neonatology. If I go on to pursue my law career I would want to be an attorney. To become an attorney I would roughly have to complete 4 years of college and 3 years of law school. Also I would have to complete and pass the state bar exam in the state where I would be practicing law. Attorneys need to possess good oral communication skills in order to be successful. Attorneys make roughly $ 94,930 to 152,750 depending on the type of attorney. I would like to be a criminal justice attorney. Attorneys are required to obtain malpractice insurance. The law field for those reasons is one of my career choices for college. If I go on to pursue a career in medicine I would like to be a pharmacist. This is the career I am leaning the most towards the most as a career. To become a pharmacist I will have to obtain my Pharm.D some require a bachelor’s degree while others accept a 2 to 3 year pre - pharmacy major. Pharm. D is a 4 year course with 3 years of classroom and laboratory work and a full year of full-time experience. Pharmacy workers need to have good math, science, and good social skills. Pharmacists usually make $ 81,000 yearly. Just as attorneys pharmacist require liability insurance. Becoming a pharmacist is what I am looking forward to doing as a career. The next career I am looking into is neonatology. I would like to be a Level I neo-natal nurse. Level I nurses usually take care of the healthy babies. Typically a neo-natal nurse has to have 3 to 5 years as a registered nurse and be CPR certified. They make from about $ 44,190 to 95,000 yearly. A neo-natal nurse has to be gentle caring and obtain good social skills. This also

    After Graduate School, I hope to have my PhD in psychology or my doctorate in psychiatry. I would like to start out working in jails, talking to criminals and analyzing their brains versus the brain of an average adult to study how the brain reacts with criminal activity and why they do and feel what they do. I have heard that a person can not do that type of work for very long because it is emotionally tasking so after that, I would like to open my own counseling practice up. I would do either marriage and family therapy or focus on teenage depression. Eventually, I would like to retire into school psychology or become a psychology teacher. Also, if I ever have enough money, I will buy a house devoted to taking in stray animals…

    Neonatal Nursing Career

    • 786 Words
    • 4 Pages

    After I graduate, it is required of me to become a registered nurse by going to nursing school for a number of years. As a neonatal nurse, I must become certified in Neonatal Resuscitation and Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing due to the fact that I will be handling ill infants. Many hospitals in different locations require nurses to complete a small number of years of clinical experience in a hospital setting before practicing as a neonatal nurse. There are 3 different levels of neonatal nursing. Level 1 neonatal nurses take care of healthy infants after they are born. However, there isn't a major demand for these types of nurses because many infants are more likely to stay in the same room with their mother. A level 2 neonatal nurse, which is what I plan on becoming, takes care of premature infants or infants born with illnesses. Level 2 nurses are much more of a necessity than any of the other levels because sick infants need constant attention. A level 2 neonatal nurse may seem as though they have a lot of responsibility on their hands being that they're working with ill infants, but they don't compare to Level 3 neonatal nurse practitioners. Level 3 neonatal nurses work in the NICU with extremely ill infants. They work countless hours checking in on the ill infants and making sure they are responding well to treatments. Level 3 neonatal…

    When I started this program I was deciding between being a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, but now that I have been through the program and had a chance to explore many different careers I have shifted between many different pathways in the medical field. Especially when I went to the medical career club meetings, I would always question what I thought I wanted and would end up going back to my main reason for wanting to be a pediatrician or a pediatric nurse, I love working with kids. As I transitioned from introduction to health to medical terminology, I found one career that I never knew existed, a neonatal nurse. As soon as i realized that you can work, let alone get payed to work with babies, there would be no questioning what I wanted…

    When it comes to my education my short-term goal is to finish out this school year and maintain my current GPA. I find it easier to motivate myself each day if I have set in stone grade goals in mind. My long-term education goal is to finish my Associate of Applied Business degree in spring 2017 and my Associate of Arts degree in spring of 2018. I have enough classes and credit hours to finish a second associate degree in two part-time semesters. My short term career goal is to continue where I am until I graduate and learn as much as I can from those around me. I find that the people around me at my current jobs are very intelligent and it would be wasteful of me to not learn what I can from them before I move on. My long-term career goal…

    I want to be happy, to help others, and to make a positive impact on others. I would love to be a motivational speaker because it's easier to change a person’s life with your personal stories and words, rather than forcing them to do things. I want to tell troubled teenagers and kids that it's never too late; you can be something in life despite what you've been through or what others may think, say, and feel about you. That's my biggest goal in life, to give others the same opportunity I was given. To show that second chances are real. I would also love to be an Athletic Trainer or Firefighter. Regardless of the path I take, I know that whatever I do in life, I will make a difference. I feel like with me being an Athletic Trainer I can give an athlete a second chance at the respected sport they love. I could also inspire people to do more than just play the sport they love; I could inspire them to go out and make a difference. Being a Firefighter I could save lives. I would play a key role in the community, giving back more than I…
