Personal Narrative: A Career In The Medical Field
There are many things different jobs that I am interested in and I still have a couple more years to think about it. The jobs I have thought about the most were in the medical field and the police force. I have always wanted to be an investigator, but the medical field for me is I think the best option. The job that would best suite me is being in the medical field specifically working at a rescue squad or in a hospital mainly because I pick up on medical terminology and practices a lot better than other job types, I love an adrenaline rush, and saving people’s lives.

The medical field isn’t for everyone there are a lot of hours you have to stay overtime and a lot of people that you have to put up with. From personal experience I can safely say you have to have a lot of patience for a job in the medical field. One of the reasons I like the medical field so much is the fact that I very quickly picked up on the practices and terminology. When I went on a call the first few times I felt like I knew exactly what I was suppose to do it was like I was supposed to be there.

A lot of times it varies day by day some days you will have one call and some days you will have fifteen. The adrenaline rush you get from the medical field is unreal within seconds you could have a dying person laying right in front of you and it is your job to save them. Anytime we ever get a call my adrenaline shoots straight through the

    Active people like to work in a fast moving environment. They like having the adrenalin rush, not knowing what kind of patient they will have next. First thing they will do when the patient gets into the room is take vitals. They ask the patient if they have any allergies. After that they ask the patient what happened. Finally the doctor will examine the patient. When working in an emergency room people will be in survival mode. They will also have to be able to deal with rude people. Doctors and nurses can 't take anything to heart. They can 't get attached to the people coming in. With emergency rooms it is very hard for someone to become attached. Some people would work in environments like this over working in a long term care facility.…

    I have obtained two jobs working alongside physicians and nurses. The first job consists of transporting patients throughout a large hospital system. Every day is filled with numerous activities as the hospital is a level one trauma center located between suburban and urban areas. I chose to work nights to gain more responsibilities and autonomy. My responsibilities include transporting patients throughout the hospital system. I have learned to communicate with a diverse population and explain my role with regards to care. During night shifts, I was tasked with transporting patients out of the emergency department and into the main hospital. Other roles of my job include collecting, cleaning, and distributing equipment such as IV pumps throughout…

    As I was looking for a Physician Assistant program I focused on three main things: research, prestige, and location. I was fortunate enough to discover that Yale PA program exceeded my expectations. As a clinical research assistant, I have had the pleasure to work with great clinicians (doctors and physician assistants alike) who have graduated from Yale Medical School and Yale PA program. Their perseverance, ability to react efficiently and decisively in difficult situations are some of the many qualities that Yale highlights and solidifies in its programs. Furthermore, shadowing one of the physician assistants who graduated from the Yale program gave me a better insight on the rigorously, expectations, and preparations of Yale PA program.…

    A cold sweat began to bead at the base of my neck as I urged the muscles in my knee to work their way through the set of squats my physical therapist had asked me to perform. My appointment was scheduled at seven in the morning, but already I could feel the adrenaline rushing up and down my spine as I watched the sun rise over the waking city through the large paneled windows of the gym. Sharp pain shot up the inside of my right knee as I slowly lowered myself, making it difficult to continue the squats. As I pushed the muscles in my knee to lower myself further, I gazed intently at the wall in front of me for inspiration. A quote I had learned to cherish over time as my personal mantra adorned the wall, reading, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." With these powerful words lodged into the back of my mind, I dropped my body into an even lower squat and continued to complete the set with strong determination to get back to soccer, the sport…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

    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.…
