Otc Career Path
The path I have chosen to take in my life is pursuing a career in the medical field. I am a people person, and I love to take care of others. Helping people reach a goal is very rewarding. I am so happy that OTC has a nursing program. I plan to take all of the necessary requirements to become a nurse. I know that the program is hard to get into, but I plan to achieve this. I know that there are limited spots, but am willing to prove myself. I know that it will not be easy, but that is a risk I am willing to take to achieve my goals. I have worked in several nursing homes as a CNA, and a CMT. I have had my CNA certification for almost 15 years, and my CMT certification for just about 5. The experience that I have is mostly in home health care. I enjoy this, because it is more one on one time with a patient. I personally believe that if you have a client, it is best to give them this attention. Taking the career clusters survey was …show more content…

There are lots of PRN positions, which is an as needed position. In my other time, I plan to work in home health care with more of a one on one environment. As I mentioned before I believe that it is better to have a one on one relationship with a client. That ensures that there is enough one on one time with your patient. I really enjoy working with the older generation. I believe that they have done their part in making the world a better place, and that their time here on earth is limited. I really like that I can do MY part in a one on one environment ensuring them comfort and peace. Also them knowing that they are not just another patient in a facility. I believe that it is important to make them still know that they are making a difference. The older generation usually can’t do much in terms of working, but the stories about their generation, hard times, and overcoming hard times have proven to make me a better

    My name is Jennifer Mast when I was three years old my sister was born when she came out the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck three times she was dead, but they brought her back to life after that she had seizures every three minutes of the day she had spent a lot of time in the hospital and so did I. when she had turned five years old we drove to California so my sister could get half of her brain removed so the seizures would stop. As a eight year old child does I asked the doctors and nurses plenty of questions I even asked what they were going to do with her brain and if I could see it. Watching the doctors and nurses work on my sister at such a young age helping to save my sisters life made me want to pursue a job in nursing ever since I was a young girl. I want to help people and their families like they had helped us. So I begun in high school I attended vocational school to become a nurses aid. I have been a nurse aid for seven years. I have also been a med-tech for the past three years. I have worked in different fields as a nurses aid. I have worked in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and home health care. They all were very enjoy able jobs. I would make a go licensed practical nurse because I care about people wants and needs and I am compassionate about the job I do and how its done. To heel some who is sick or injured or just a family member who needs someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on I am always there to help. The reward of making someone else who needs help feel better is a feeling you cant explain it makes you feel like you have done your job to make someone else have another day in the world of life. Learning new things in the medical field interest me and the more I can learn the better. When I watch television I watch different medical shows think Its amazing how they save peoples lives and I wish I could do that to. So I am taking a step up the ladder in the medical field so I can enhance my knowledge and in the…

    I absolutely love my job. I love going into work and saying hi to all my oldies! I won’t be a CNA for the rest of my life. I am going to school to be an RN then transfer to Indiana University or University of Indianapolis to get my BSN. I will miss my oldies when I leave, but when I do leave, I will leave that place knowing that I have hopefully made a difference in that facility. They are all my best friends and I love them to death! Hopefully some day when I get old and put into a facility I will have a CNA that will care about me as much as I care about them…

    Hi, I am Anna Belgarde. I have been working at Heartland Care Center as a CNA since July 2015, before that I worked at Rolette Community Care for 1 year. I have been there in the front lines of nursing, I love it. I love being able to help and care for people. My mom is a nurse and has been for 20 years.

I think she worked hard to be where she is at now. I am grateful for her showing me what my calling is also. I want to be a nurse; I believe with my compassion and caring nature I was born to be a nurse. I was born to help people and take their sufferings and make them at least comfortable.…

    The road to success has always been paved with many obstacles. When I first decided on what I would plan on being in the future, I was a little girl (about four years old). Many people in my family were a part of the medical field, mainly nurses. As I continued to get older, I received more practice and more knowledge about the medical field and I would go back and forth on whether I would become a nurse or a doctor, and I still face that conflict today. However, I am positive that I will stick to the medical field. I have discovered other career paths, and I can never see myself loving them as much as I love the medical field. The way medicine works amazed me and I always found it interesting to help people. When I started learning more about the medical field, I learned how difficult it would be to get where I needed to go. Each day, I try as hard as I can to get closer to my goal of becoming a doctor.…

    Today, I know that my long journey towards success has involved mistakes, but I choose to learn from those mistakes in order to grow in life and learn valuable lessons. My other interest is nursing. I believe nurses are the foundation to many hospitals. My interest for nursing goes hand in hand with my passion to travel the world and explore other countries because I am very intrigued about volunteer nursing in struggling countries that helps to save the lives of many people who lack the opportunity to seek medical assistance due to the lack of resources or medical staff. To be aware that my participation in something so much greater than I am ,such as volunteer nursing, is very gratifying.…

    My personal nursing philosophy is geared toward caring. I personally believe that one cannot practice any kind of profession in the health care field without having a deep since of caring for their fellow human beings. Even as a little girl, I have always had a great respect for other people, most especially the older generation. I realize that everyone has fought their own personal battles in life and that we all deserve respect. I worked in a nursing home as a CNA for about two to two and half years and at the same time I helped my grandmother take care of my great-grandmother for four and half years. People use to tell me that working in a nursing home seemed like it would be a depressing job. I always thought of it as an opportunity instead of job. I realized while working there that not everyone cares about their patients and that caring should actually be a requirement for the job. You never know what that patient has been through, but if your taking care of them; they’ve obviously been through something. My basic nursing philosophy is that I try to apply to everyone is that if I care about this patient, then I should do everything for this patient that I would do for my own family. If you care that much then everything else should fall into place, because I’m going to do everything in my power to see that they’re taken care of because I…

    My mom works at a nursing home, so I have always been around doctors, nurses, and specialists. Repeatedly, I was asked the question “what do you want to do when you grow up”. The steadfast answer of “I want to do something to help people get better” was always my response. I truly enjoy helping people and nurturing them when they need it. I believe when I set my mind to something I get the job done and make a huge impact. Nursing manufactures care giving and teaching in a way that exploits my natural strengths while aiding others.…

    I know I will scrape through in being a nurse. When I was looking into career options, nursing attracted my attention for a variety of reasons. You could go anywhere, work with adults, children, in public health, prisons, physicians offices, schools, factories, and were only limited by your level of education, I found that nursing could be what ever I would want to make it. People need nurses in all aspects of life and if I were to ever feel "expended out" in one area, I could educate myself in a variety of ways to expand into another. Or if I needed to move to another state, I could transfer and easily find my niche there. The sensation that you feel when you know you have accomplished your goal to aid an individual is priceless…
