Why I Want To Become A Certified Nurse

In the video “Inclusion, belonging, and the disability revolution” (TEDTalks, 2014), speaker Jennie Fenton opens with describing situations where people with disabilities are segregated and excluded from their communities, sent to live together away from society, or even treated as lesser humans. She then proceeds to introduce her family, including her six-year-old daughter that was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Jennie admits to previously having negative or frightened thoughts about having a child with a disability, but with her “seven realizations,” she learned that her daughter was merely on a different path than others, but that no one should ever feel broken or not a whole person (TEDTalks, 2014). After she explains that there are roughly one billion people with a disability throughout the world, Jennie states that she believes in possibility over disability. If a person’s

Nursing is the most trusted and reliable profession leading in the transformation of healthcare. “Nursing helps to promote, protect, and optimization of health and abilities to prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities and populations” (American Nursing Association, 2017). Nursing offered careers for both men and women and it is the profession that provides healthcare everywhere. Society has great expectations for this profession. Caregivers are one the reasons why nursing is seen as the engine room of healthcare system. In the quest to provide preventive and restorative measures. There are three basic career guides which are; education, job opportunities, and salary.

Throughout my four years of college, I wanted to learn about myself and the world. I did not want to follow a particular path or be strict with myself. Now, as a graduate I discovered my passion for health and helping people. I want to volunteer at New York Methodist Hospital because I want to learn more about health while getting to help people feel at peace during a difficult time in their life. I am ready to learn and I am ready for a new experience. I want to learn from accomplished individuals and further my knowledge in health for when I decide to go to nursing school. At the age of 5, I had to help my grandma because she could not walk due to arthritis of the spine and knee. At a young age I learned how one person can make a difference

In response to the advertisement on hired.durhamcollege.ca, please find attached my resume for the full time position of Personal Support Worker available at Fairview Lodge. As a soon to be Durham College graduate, I am seeking a position to utilize the skills I have learned from placement and from my very current schooling. I chose the Personal Support Worker program to not only work as a caring support worker, but also to start the process of being a Practical Nursing student.

It takes a lot to faze me, blood, guts and bodily fluids are of no exception. I'm looking into the health field, as a registered nurse. My ASVAB score pointed to more of a social and realistic career, which pointed to more health related careers. I'm currently in the Lycoming Career Technology Center for health careers and I'm in my third year. I knew I wanted to pursue a career in field and I knew it would be a Nurse. Being in any occupation of the health field isn't easy the same goes for nurses. Countless hours of college education, repetitive relearning classes, semi-high salary and long hours, doesn't sound fun for some, but for me, it sounds great.

Coping with a disability many would assume that sexuality is no longer a factor or want. However, this is another result of societal barriers and stigmas people place on individuals with disabilities. Sexual healing as Mitchell mentioned, should be part of the rehabilitation process. Mitchell states that he learned more from his peers and mentors whom have acquired disabilities and I find this interesting. He learned and gained the most knowledge from others in his situation and I believe many are educated this way similarly to young children learning societal norms. The social learning theory is a great example of Mitchells closing analysis about men with disabilities. Men apply what is learned socially throughout life. After an individual becomes disabled attitudes prior to and after the disability should be addressed in treatment. For Mitchell learning from others that he could understand and relate to was a form of

A potential cause of this lack of understanding is few disabled persons being involved in the research process. This makes it difficult to understand and break down communication barriers. Braithwaite references an ongoing study consisting of 57 interviews. The goal of the study is to gather disabled persons' perspective on communication with able-bodied persons. Perspectives of both able-bodied and disabled person can be considered when trying to understand the current communication complications facing the separate

I have a lot of dreams. Dreams to change the world and do great things. My first dream is to receive my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, followed by working as a nurse for a few years to gain hands-on experience. Second, I intend to further my education by obtaining a Master’s degree and working on improving my skills, knowledge, and understandings of the nursing field. I want to be a nurse anesthetist. They administer anesthesia to patients. When I eventually retire, I intend on giving back to future generations of nurses by becoming a Nursing Instructor, educating them and watching them grow and develop into the best-equipped nurses they can be. As a result of my experiences in life, I am more mature, grounded, and I realize that even when

EDU-1400 Study of disabilities is a class that aims to educate students on disabilities and the way society and the individual with the disability defines having a disability. This course provides students with the information to see disabilities from different perspectives as well as educating students on the many aspects of having a disability. It allows the student to determine how they perceive disabilities. People with disabilities are the largest minority group and suffers from a tremendous amount of discrimination and prejudice. My goal for this class is to educate myself enough to contribute to lessening the stigmas associated with disabilities.

The night before my first day of college my dad sent me a text that read, “Big day tomorrow. Get up early, sit in the front, and participate. This is your school and education. I am proud of you. You are ready for this. Have a great day and have fun. Love you, dad.” My parents know that me attending college and getting good grades is just the first step to the career I want. I want to become a Nurse Practitioner, and I was able to decide to pursue this career when I had the opportunity to learn about and see different healthcare professions. There are several smaller goals I have to reach first before I am able to reach my main goal, but I have my family encouraging me.

My nursing career has been a journey full of gratification and personal success. Six years of bedside nursing has taught me how essential teamwork and communication is when working to restore health in the critically ill. Today I find myself ready to advance my career into a Master’s Degree. Advancing my career will grant me with the opportunity to service my community and allow me to treat my patient’s holistic needs. As an advanced practice nurse, I plan to use my knowledge to further educate, reinforce and advocate for those in need. By accepting my application to the Adult/Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program you will provide me with the opportunity I need to expand my caring journey.

In the peer-reviewed article Successful Transition of Students with Disabilities to 21st-Century College and Careers, the authors start by discussing the cases of a high school special education teacher named Ms. Hitchcock. At Ms. Hitchcock high school, they have been working on new ways to help their students transition from high school to adult activities such as post-secondary schooling, independent living, and maintain a job. A new transition process has shown to cover a broad range of skills that are more non-academic than academic, something that many students struggle with. With this new system of nonacademic skills, Ms. Hitchcock has noticed that two of her students, Damien and Jasmine, would benefit from these new findings (Gothberg,

I choose to write my journal reflection on the presentation about Disability Identity Development Model. In as much as I learned and enjoyed all of the other presentations, this one made an impact. From the videos to the conversation, each piece made me more aware of how unaware I am about people with disabilities. I was surprised by the impact of the presentation and realized how little attention I pay to my surroundings when it comes to what assistance are out there for people with disability. I was not aware of the struggle people had to go through in order to have the ADA law pass in 1990. Today I see disability signs in parking lots of places I go and now I understand the struggle that people when through to get those assigned parking.

Through this course study, including course readings and classroom discussions, has allowed me to view disability with a whole new scope and perspectives. It may sound
