After graduation I will be attending National Park College for the RN to BSN degree program with dual admission to Henderson State University. I plan to become an RN with a Bachelor's degree and gain field experience before going back to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. To prepare for these rigorous classes, I have already taken the Level 1 Med Pro class offered by National Park to high schoolers and am currently taking the Level 2 class provided as well. Through this Level 2 class I have also become a Certified Medical Billing Specialist (CMBS) and a Certified Medical Records Technician (CMRT). I will also be taking the test to become a Registered Medical Assistant this year. With these certifications I plan to gain work experience in
My passion for medicine continues to grow with each patient that I’ve had the privilege of caring for through shadowing, volunteering and my job as a CNA. Being my grandma’s translator has inspired me to pursue a career as a physician assistant, and beyond becoming a physician assistant, I aspire to practice in underserved populations so that everyone has an equal opportunity to access the health care they need.
After I graduate I plan on attending National Park College for their RN to BSN degree program. I wish to do that and gain some field experience before I go back to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. Becoming a Nurse Practitioner has always been a dream of mine and each day I get closer. To stay close to home to attend National Park for the first part of my goals is a definite plus. My end goal is definitely to be a Nurse Practitioner but to also have job security and stability because they do make very good money. I come from a struggling, middle class family with hardworking parents and to be able to provide for them one day as they have done for me is also a future goal of
I would like to become a DNP Family Nurse Practitioner. The requirements I will need for this degree will be RN licensure, followed by a BSN program, then a Nurse Practitioner doctorate program in family medicine. The road that will take me to this goal will be graduating Columbia Basin College with an ADN, take and pass the NCLEX, followed by one year of clinical experience. I will then apply to an online BSN program, preferably CBC, but I could apply to WGU, or WSU. An online BSN program may take one year to eighteen months to complete. The next step would be to apply to Washington State University’s Post-Baccalaureate DNP – Family Nurse Practitioner Program. WSU Tri-Cities offers online live video conferencing, that are archived, and
Please consider my application for the Clinical Tech I position as posted on your hospitals website. Your hospital Scottish Rite, is one of the leading hospitals in Dallas that has a specialty in working with children that have orthopedic and neurological diseases.

Being an Emergency Room nurse for 7 years and working as a traveling nurse in many different parts of the country has impacted my future and decision of going back to school. My personal career goal is to become a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with specialization in pediatric critical care area, mainly pediatric emergency medicine. I have known since a very young age that I had a gift for working with children. My colleagues always call me the “pediatric nurse”. I feel it takes a very special type of person to work with pediatrics, and this is where my heart is. I chose to become a FNP to broaden my area of expertise and to leave multiple doors open to work in different areas. I have
My second professional goal being long-term in is to go from a registered nurse (RN) level II to a level III RN. The hospital that I work for offers room for advancement through a three level tier program. Starting with my basic RN license, moving toward level II and then onto level III, each advancement comes through educational and specified guidelines established by the hospital and set forth in a hospital policy. Prior to going back to school I was able to attain my level II status. However, the requirements for a level III require the achievement of a Bachelor’s degree and certification in a specialized field. This means acquiring a Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) certificate. I anticipate my graduation from the BSN program to be in May 2012 and then giving me six months to study for and mastering the CEN test. At that time I will obtain an updated copy of the policy and requirements and revisit the application process to becoming a level III RN. According to McKay (n.d.), “Long term goals can take about three to five years to achieve” (Planning for the future, para. 3), and with “Goal clarity, increases persistence, making individuals less susceptible to the undermining effects of anxiety,
Things I can do to research to assist me with my transition from an entry level position to a more advanced position is always going to be school. I say this because if I start off as a Certified Medical Assistant then I can look for schools to become a Registered Medical Assistant. While doing this I can obtain a Bachelors in something pertaining a part of the medical field I may be interested in. I can also make myself aware of the courses my job may offer its staff such as management seminars and even simple leadership workshops.By doing these things this would allow me to bring back information to my team and help improve the quality of care we provide our patients and even the way we may run our office. And this can prove that I am an

My goal is to be accepted into the LPN/RN Bridge Program May 2017 and graduate in May 2018. I have been an LPN since 2007 where I have spent 9 years in the Emergency Department at Welch Community Hospital. I have absorbed a great deal of knowledge in the time I have worked, in addition will continue to endure more information daily.

While being in the Emergency Department for the years I have has driven me to apply for the RN program. Thru the type of work, I preform I receive joy when recognizing that I have assisted them to heal. I plan to apply at Pikeville Medical Center once graduated and apply for an ER position.
I want to be an Advanced Practice Nurse. I complete similar work every day so I thought to myself, why not get the certification for it? As I called medical doctors and physicians assistants about sick patients, I found myself suggesting and telling them what orders the patient needs. I was struck with a sudden realization; I needed to go back to school.
Because of my mother’s and sister’s involvement in the medical field, I have gained a personal connection with wanting to continue in their footsteps. I am going to attend The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to pursue my career as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. I would like to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in order to provide the best care for small children. I recently obtained my Certified Patient Care Technician certification while in high school, which means I am certified to work in a hospital. The next step is attending at UAB where there is a rigorous academic curriculum, the Pre-Nursing Dean’s Scholar program, for students whose main objective is nursing. I am currently in this program, which is one stepping
I have many goals I would like to pursue in my adventurous journey to becoming a nurse practitioner. First, I will be entering the Traditional Nursing Program next fall. I'm very excited because this will give me a chance to start out by getting my RN (registered nurse) degree. This program is supposed to have rigorous classes and will have a lifelong term care. This degree will approximately take two years. As well as enrolling in the nursing program, I will be completing my AA Degree. I currently have sixteen credits from college credits from CIS (college in the school) credits. I currently am taking fifteen credits, so I only have to take twenty-nine more credits to graduate will my AA Degree.
Over the past three and a half years of undergraduate education, I have received a very comprehensive education that has prepared me to function as a professional nurse after graduation next week. I have appreciated and truly enjoyed taking courses both within and outside of the University of Southern Maine nursing curriculum, and don’t believe I am able to count the ways in which this education has challenged me to become an enhanced learner and well-rounded person. I have identified three courses that have brought me to the role I will now assume as a professional baccalaureate-prepared nurse: one of which is a core course; another, a non-nursing course; the last, a non-clinical nursing course,
As my career advances I want to use my Master’s degree to help me propel myself above other. Furthermore, I am looking for the next step to improve my resume when promotions come around for the Dearborn Heights Fire Department. I believe this degree will help me stand out when I interview and show the necessary skills of motivation, desire, leadership and loyalty when entering a leadership role within the department. Secondly, we are looking to pilot a community paramedic program which I am very interested in leading and helping organize within our community. Furthermore, I am looking to expand my skills and knowledge as a skilled professional. This degree will allow me to grow as a nurse and apply the knowledge learned within this program in a real life scenario. I would like to work as an advanced practice nurse in an acute care setting where I can help the most amounts of people possible. I also want to give back as well and teach others as much as possible. In our department we have hired many new registered nurses who I have been trusted to orient. This has given me the knowledge and confidence needed to prepare myself for a leadership role within the department and provide the necessary feedback to others to allow them to continue to grow as
Starting the Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelorette of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at Jacksonville University in June 2015 was a simple transition for me. I had graduated an Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) program in December 2014 and became a licensed RN in January 2015. I had just gotten hired for my first nursing position the month prior to the start of class and had not yet started working. I was very much still in student mode. While this makes it a bit easier to learn and process information in a classroom setting, I had no real world experience to help guide me. Through the knowledge I have gained as a student at Jacksonville University I have become a competent and well-rounded nurse. I am able to quickly problem solve and utilize critical thinking to identify and rectify issues. I have even put together, and will be presenting, and presentation about nursing practice for staff members at the facility where I work.
