I have decided to lean to nursing as a career for many reasons. The main reason i decided to turn to this field of work was feeling the need to help people in a way that my younger brother was helped when he was in out of hospitals. During this time i joined the voulanteer morton fire department to get a grasp and sense of working under pressure while remaining calm. Alot of the times i noticed ifyou are in a flusttered sense of mind it is best to leave the situation to someone who is more capable then end up causeing the situation to get much worse possibly causeing someone to get hurt or death. Later on when i began attending south plains i attended and became vice president of the star center student organization for a short period of time…

My duty as a nurse is to promote good and do no harm and respect the patient as the most basic and universal principle. According to the code, my most fundamental accountability is to the patient. In addition, it is my duty to make the most wise and ethical decisions for what is best for the organization. As a leader, I am self-aware of my values and basic beliefs about the rights, duties and goals of human beings. Unfortunately, here utilitarianism of what is best for the common good outweighs what is best for the individual. Mr. Cole has the right to leave against medical advice and it saddens me the issues they may face being denied home health care, however, it is not justified to withhold information from the physician. I could be risking…

I want to be a lpn because caring for others is my passion and it brings me so much joy knowing that I made a difference in someone's life(Even if it's just by putting a smile on someone face). My dream of becoming a nurse is something that came to me from a very young age. From birth, till my family and I were able to come to the United States, I was in a environment where the health care system believe was to give treatment to those can afford to pay for it. I was men and women dying prematurely from minor health problem because their family couldn’t afford to take them for treatment. It hit me hard when my family and I came to American 2003, we learn that my grandfather die because of hunger. Expersing all these things at such a young…
While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…
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.…

My dream is to be a registered nurse something I would be great at. To achieve my goals I have enrolled myself in college and started taking courses, nursing is something that I crave. The reason I took so much interest in becoming a nurse is because I took care of my son when he was going through recovery from meningitis which was passed down to him at birth. Till then I built a huge passion in taking care of people that is in need of help. I have had other jobs, but none has fulfil me or made me happy as I know being a nurse would be. I would not feel happy with myself if I had not made the decision to go to college and achieve my dream in getting my nursing degree in what I love to do. I cannot keep putting it aside, letting time pass by…
