Dr. Hiring Manager,

I have also had a specialized training to become a cardiac nurse which includes basic life support and cardiac life support training.

Through my clinical rotations,

    Length of stay was not the only process that was made more effective with the implementation of the PSH model at UC Irvine Health. Another aspect that was positively affected by the PSH model was turnover time of a procedure. According to UC Irvine Health ninety two percent of procedures start at 7:30 in the morning. With the implementation of the PSH model the turnover time averaged about 29 minutes. This was a 31 percent improvement from before the PSH model was implemented. For those worried about the performance of a surgeon because the turnover time improved, it went unaffected. According to UC Irvine Health, the 166 cases researched that all 166 cases had 100.00 performance rates. Because the performance of the surgeons was so high in less amount of time, this lowered the readmission rate for the same health issue. UC Irvine found that the readmission rate for hip arthroplasties is zero percent. The national average for readmission for a knee arthroplasty is between 2.5 percent and 4.3 percent compared to UC Irvine Health readmission rate which is 1.1 percent…

    Sutter Health is a non-profit community-based healthcare system. It is based in Sacramento, Northern California. The healthcare system serves patients and families where the healthcare providers join resources and share expertise to develop and advance the quality of healthcare. The non-profit network initiated an interface with the intention of developing revenue collection of the healthcare facilities that would be collected from self-pay patient (Souza & McCarty, 2007). The traditional payment processing system had disadvantages that delayed the process of effective revenue collection of the healthcare facilities. The limitations of the processing system were as a result of the lack of accessibility to precise information in the accounts. The Patient Financial Services staffs were not in a position to get real-time information that would aid in accessing the financial and operational indicators of the healthcare facility (Souza & McCarty, 2007). There was also ineffective and inefficient performance measures in the healthcare facilities. The centers of service provision were patchy. There were also issues with the upfront collections. In order to address these…

    My desire to pursue a career in health care is greatly influenced by its unlimited opportunities for career development and the desire to impact another person’s life positively. As a kid, I always had a burning desire to become a nurse or a medical doctor but my parents’ influence and their perception of the engineering profession while in Nigeria lured me away. I trained and practiced as a Materials Engineer back in Nigeria, where I worked as a research and development officer for five years. However, coming to the United States created the turning point in my life. I searched for engineering jobs unsuccessfully for many months, and none was forthcoming despite availability of many job openings in nursing and healthcare related fields. In order to confirm my readiness to pursue nursing as a career, I entered a Practical Nursing program at the Wilbur Wright College in Chicago. At this time, I was still driving cab to support myself, while I dropped it completely upon graduation and passing LPN board examination.…

    My personal nursing mission statement is changing and developing as my career advances, however, one core piece will remain constant. I will strive to provide the best, safest, most ethical and compassionate nursing care that I can for all patients and family members with whom I come in contact. I began my post-high school academic career as an accounting major. I enjoyed the challenge of manipulating a report until I had balanced. I thought I had found my calling. As my first semester was nearing an end, I found myself contemplating the thought of sitting behind a desk all day. I wondered if I would find fulfillment in this work as a career? The more I pondered this thought, the more I realized that this was not the right career path for me. I saw images of the medical assistant program in the catalog at the school where I was attending. I could not shake the thought of the medical field for a profession. I attained my medical assistant degree and worked in the field for 10 years. The longer I worked, the more I realized that there was more that I wanted to do, but my current degree restricted me from going further. I researched nursing school programs and selected one with a night/weekend program that would allow me to continue working full-time during my studies. I have a family that I needed to continue to provide for and this seemed to be the best fit. My nursing school decision was fortified when I was selected for an award by the nursing faculty from all four semesters for excellence in the clinical setting. After graduation, I began my nursing career working as a case manager for orthopedic worker’s compensation patients. During this time I gained critical knowledge of the importance of clear documentation, the ever-changing requirements of insurance companies and an extra measure of compassion for…

    For four years I have know that ETSU was where I wanted to obtain my Nurse Practitioner Degree. I have been obsessed with the medical field for as long as I remember. I was that child who was always watching things like Grey’s Anatomy, Untold Stories of the ER, and HOUSE instead of normal kid shows. From the moment I learned that I could obtain my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) licence in high school and work my way up, I knew that was what I wanted to do. In all my science classes I strived to learn everything I could. Any health class offered, I have took. My life has been consumed with learning, studying, and volunteering in any health care area. By the time my senior year came, in my own mind I felt I was already a nurse. That is when I got the biggest reality check.…
