I feel the strongest aspect of my worldview is my tremendous sense of ethics. They help to guide my actions and decisions everyday. Ethics to me lay the foundations of a person’s character. I feel that a person with good character will by default have a strong set of moral values and their morals will help that person to make ethical choices in their lives. My moral values have been learned from many different influences throughout my lifetime. Numerous influences in my life have been strong Christian examples that have given me a good foundation of Christ like values. These loving examples have inspired me to live a life of compassion, service, and teaching. I strive to live ethically because I want to please God and lead others by my example. In my experience the ethical choice may not always be the popular choice, but it is the one I can live with.…
They assist in decision making, guiding you to participate in actions that meet your internal moral standards. Ethics represents the core value system you use for everyday problem solving. They create a framework for determining “right” versus “wrong.” Ethics are developed throughout life based on a wide variety of factors. They are not absolute rules. For many people, to define personal ethics is a difficult endeavor. They simply consider their “inner voice” to be all the ethical guidance they need. After all, intuition plays a large role in what one finds ethical.”…

Many different occupations such as doctors, nurses, engineers, accountants etc. are regulated by various forms of professional standards. These standards exist to provide confidence that an employee has the knowledge and training to conduct their job within particular parameters. For example, when an engineer signs off his or her approval for the design of a bridge, everyone assumes that the engineer has performed all of the necessary analysis to ensure that the bridge will function as anticipated. If an employee does not maintain the professional standards for their discipline, then they erode the confidence that the other employees and the general public have in their ability to conduct their…

According to Eastside Regional Communications Center (2008), 911 dispatchers answer phones for both emergency and non-emergency calls for not only law enforcement but medical and fire services as well. These individuals work with computer-aided dispatching services as well as computerized phone and radio systems. Dispatch Magazine On-Line also states that these individuals must prioritize these calls when numerous phone calls come into the center at the same time. Dispatchers must complete clerical work, retrieve information from callers using various computer and phone systems, monitor radio frequencies, and relay relevant information between officers and callers. This is only a partial list of duties for a public safety dispatcher. Dispatchers may be required to assume other tasks as needed because of short staff, budget cuts, and situations that have never before been dealt with. Individuals seeking a career as a public safety dispatcher need the ability to remain calm and confident, be knowledgeable, maintain patience, calm down the caller, and maintain high morals.…

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a registered nurse. I come from a family where wearing scrubs has always been the normal work attire. My mother has been a registered nurse at a highly accredited oncology hospital for over twenty-five years, and my father a pharmacist for about twenty. I have aunts who are nurses and uncles who are doctors. For me, the health care profession always just seemed to be my future. When I first began my actual nursing journey I was worried that I had possibly chosen the profession simply because it was so common in my family, and that I never even really considered any other career. Luckily for me, my first day of clinical in “Introduction to Nursing” sealed the deal. It wasn’t the environment, the schedule, or even the salary that lead me to feel confident that I had chosen the right career path for myself. Instead, it was the overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment that I felt when I saw how my care and compassion could help another individual during a time of need.…
