My father was absent thru out my life. But I have many father figures in my life. Who gives me the best guidance and always told me to provide for myself don’t depend anyone else.

Over the years I’ve came to the conclusion that I would be a better Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists than doctor. The thing that made me choosing nursing was my mom.

    During the summer I worked at a nursing home to gain some experience in the healthfield. Working as a certified nursing assistant really helped me grow and it is one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve had, it also was very challenging at times. As I said before I struggle with anxiety, but working as a nursing assistant pushed me to overcome some of the fears I had of communicating. I learned really quick when working in a nursing home you strongly need the ability to have good communication skills because without it you can’t communicate with the charge nurses, the residents or the other C.N.A’s. Everyday that I worked there I used different forms of communications such as body language which I learned says a lot about what a person is feeling.…

    Without a doubt, Mrs. Holder was the best teacher I have ever had. As my health and nursing fundamental instructor in high school she pushed me to better than my very best. I went into her class my sophomore year of high school scared and not knowing what to expect. Mrs. Holder taught me everything that I needed to know for the next level of classes. Once I got accepted into her nursing fundamentals class to become a nurse assistant, she gave me clear instructions of how to master each and every skill needed to past my exam and get certified as an NA. Because of Mrs. Holder, today I am the best NA I could have become. I am also proud to say that I am working as an NA at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in their trauma ICU and I got accepted…

    When I was thinking about writing this journal post a particular experiences came into my head. I pushed it aside for the fact that it didn't fit the criteria for this journal. However, after struggling trying with writer's block, I gave in to my original thought. The experience I am going to be talking about doesn't fit the criteria of being a patient/nurse interaction because I wasn't with a “patient” or in a clinical setting.…

    There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…

    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…

    My dad had gotten very sick. The doctors found a tumor in his large intestine. Hearing that, I felt like my whole life crashed before my eyes. My dad was such a good man that sometimes I thought why something so bad, would happen to such a good person. Doctors told him he needs surgery immediately, so dad had no other choice. He went into surgery and my mom and I were there by his side the whole time. Dad needed to stay in the hospital for a full week after surgery so we each took turns staying with him. I would come from school and go to dad, and mom would leave to work. We would take turns. This hardship was difficult for me to bare. My dad didn’t really speak any good English yet at that time, so I had to be there for him and translate everything. I knew I had to help him out. Hospital days were long. I remember sitting in a chair near my dad’s hospital bed and seeing all the nurses come in and out of his room. They were all so sweet and caring. They were all trying their best to get my dad to heal faster and get better. I remember sitting there and thinking to myself, how exhilarating it is to work as a nurse and make a difference in someone’s life every single day. From that day on, I have always wanted to become a nurse. I decided that I was going to study nursing so that I would be able to make a difference in people’s lives one day. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed helping people. Whether it was helping my classmates with homework, helping my mom around the house, or helping my dad with translating. I always did it from the heart. I truly think that serving others is my passion and my calling in life. I went to my counselor in high school and told her that I wanted to do running start. She gladly signed me up for it. I did it for two years by taking prerequisites for the nursing program at Everett Community…

    My mom taught me to live by the Golden Rule; do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I have lived by this rule all my life. I have never had a problem getting along with others and treating them with respect until I started my nursing career as an LPN. I started working at the local hospital, working night shift. I really enjoyed going into work, helping the patients with their needs. I enjoyed visiting with them and finding out what would make their stay better. Then one day the supervising nurse in charge of the floor took me aside and told me to stop visiting with the patients. I was thinking to myself okay there has got to be a good reason behind this. She told me the patients need their sleep and they don’t need me to visit with them and keep them awake.…

    Jodi-Recently I got promoted into a leadership position because of my high level of achievement and proficiency as an RN. Moreover, I am very social and have a moderate need for affiliation. Although, the clinical staff view me as a professional and competent, I have a reputation of being "chill" and "laid-back." A chill and laid-back persona make you overly familiar. I wish I were the task master! I wish the need for achievement has bumped me out of the graces of others. Nursing is a profession focused solely on patient care and being proficient at skills. Before, I did not have to manage productivity or worry about others. There was a danger in building the relationships in the way I did with humor, kindness, and likeability. Now, in my new…

    I did not expect much from college. I knew what I wanted, to be a nurse, and that was what college was going to help me achieve. I did not realize that I was beginning a vast voyage, trying to tie some meaning to my life. A few months in, I was going insane. I mean this with complete and utter regard to the word. I was a mess and chaotic. My nights ended at roughly five in the morning, and my mornings started three hours later. Drowning in self-pity, while slamming shots of expresso, I found myself unhappy and stuck. My parents heard from me at any hour I could reach them. I was crying, longing to come home and feeling trapped in this strange new world. I hated my classes, felt uncomfortable in my room, and out of place with my new friends. Every night the same…
