I work third shift at an assisted living facility on the weekends, second shift during the week, and by doing that I have learned so much. I want to be a registered nurse, and while working at a CBRF, a community based residential facility, I have learned many skills that I can use in everyday life and in my future profession. By working as a CNA I have learned first aid, time management, and empathy. I have been working at St. Monica’s Senior Living since two thousand twelve. I started in the kitchen as a kitchen aide. My job duties were to serve the food, clean the tables, set the tables, take out the garbage, and to clean dishes. I met a lot of friends working in the kitchen, a few that I even still talk to today. In the summer …show more content…
Most of the time it is something not urgent like a skin tear, a small cut, or a nose bleed. Every now and again, though, I have to do some serious first aid. Once I was walking down the hall at work and watched a woman trip and do a whole flip over her walker. She then hit her head on a door jam and busted her eyebrow open. After stopping the bleeding with towels and other supplies, we sent her to the hospital where she got six stiches. With the knowledge I have from being a veteran aide, I was able to get this woman safe. First aid is not just about patching up wounds, you also have to assess the situation and your patient. At the CBRF where I work, we once had a woman fall out of bed and she hit her head on her nightstand. She called for us to come down to her room and when we got there she was bleeding from her head. After we had that under control we started to assess her. She could respond in both Hungarian and English with ease so we assumed she did not have any brain injury, and she also passed all concussion testing. She went out with her daughter to prompt care and they did x-rays. She had hairline fractures on three vertebras and she had to wear a neck brace. This event taught me that no matter how good they look during assessment, there may still be something wrong with them and further investigation might be
Get help, shout for assistance, call a first aider. If you have been trained in emergency first aid, what is needed and your action will depend on the result of the primary survey. Call emergency services if required, don’t call emergency services without basic information about the condition of the casualty. Get some support for yourself as you may go into shock or be stressed afterwards. Report and record what has happened as soon as possible before you forget the details.
Emergency services may give instructions over the phone, such as move child into recovery position, or keep wound elevated, this will also give some reassurance to the child. And is helpful for the emergency services as they are aware of how the child/young person is reacting to this.
Going into the nursing program at Colorado Christian University means so much to me. I have been to a couple different colleges but at that time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Now, I know exactly what my goal is and what I want to achieve with school. I currently work as a Hospice CNA, I love my job. I will be the first out of my parents and mothers side of the family to graduate from a four year college. Also, being a nurse is something I’ve always dreamed about. Working as a hospice CNA has really made me value life and has opened my eyes to nursing. I love being there for my patients and their families. I truly feel like this is my purpose on earth to help others. I feel so rewarded to be able to take care of these people that cannot
I started my medical career as an Emergency Medical Technician with the Hawaii Army National Guard (HIARNG). After several years, nearing the end of my contract with HIARNG, I was offered to renew my enlistment contract with the opportunity to go back to school and to become a Registered Nurse (RN). The HIARNG, through the G.I. Bill Program, assisted me in my quest of becoming an RN. After enduring personal and financial sacrifices, I finally graduated from Kapi'olani Community College with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) in 2003.
When the paramedics came, Liz was unconscious. They took her to the hospital to get treatment. She had bruises
My dedication to my goals is my number one priority this year and I can truly say once I not only graduate, but become a Licensed Nurse Practitioner, I will be at ease temporarily. I say temporarily because I wish to continue my nursing career at Miami-Dade community college. I have been so devoted to nursing all my high school years. I have been taking nursing courses since the 9th grade and even after I graduated high school. Although, it may have been tough but I learned to overcome obstacles for the thing you are very passionate about.
Having the ability to provide for my family this day in age as a Bachelor prepared Nurse is of the upmost significance in my life. I obtained my Associates Degree as a Registered Nurse from Springfield Technical Community College in 2005. I started college straight out of high school knowing I would be entering a career that had endless opportunity for growth. I remember the second I knew I wanted to become a nurse. It was because of Brenda, the kind nurse who held my hand while wheeling me towards the operating room as I was told at the age of 15, while having my first daughter, that I would need a C-Section.
Please accept my candidacy for the Patient Care Director position on 14 South. I am confident that through my professional experience, committee memberships and education, I have developed the knowledge, skills and leadership abilities necessary to be a successful addition to your leadership team.
I became deficient in the year 2009 because I was going with full intention with a major in Child Development. Really soon I found out it wasn’t for me. I was really stressed out and didn’t do so great like I had planned. I decided to stop school to really decide what it was that I really wanted . Additionally, I felt that I wasn’t ready for the challenges I was to face in college.
While education can open many doors, success relies on initiative. I have the desire and the determination, but lack the financial backing needed to achieve my goal of becoming a registered nurse. This scholarship would award me an opportunity to pursue the career of my dreams; a career rooted in service. My desire is to give a little bit extra and do a little bit more. A scholarship would allow me to make a difference in the ever changing, and challenging, world of health care.
In the near future, I aim to be an aspiring registered nurse. I chose this career so I can give people emotional support and advice when they are in need of help. When I was a child I thought dreams would always come true but I guess society does not think so much of it.
Michelle fainted and was lying on the ground with blood all over her hand. I was scared. I called the ambulance. Then I ran to go to make the bandages like I would do every single day. I grabbed the cotton tape and gauze, and put them together like I usually do.
I used to work as a registered nurse in Samoa for the past 10 years. I recently resigned from NHS in 2012 as a registered nurse and accepted an offer from SENESE Inclusive Education to work with children with special needs. This is with regard to my plan of developing and enhancing my skills as a registered nurse, taking advantage of the perspective of disabilities as other areas of health we also work with. From then on I developed an interest in becoming the first speech language therapist for Samoa in order to work with children and adults who have communication and swallowing disorders. I have noticed from my background as a nurse, our people deserve this service.
For some time I look for a school where I could study nursing. A friend told me about International Institute Healthcare Professional. I saw this as a great opportunity in my life and I did not think twice to study in the school. I knew to start in the institute was my better option to achieve a good future. I am doctor in Cuba and in this country I want to be register nurse.
Nursing as defined by Webster is the job of taking care of people who are sick, injured, or old. However, to me nursing is not just a job. It is a work of the heart, mind, body, and soul; something that encompasses who you are and how you choose to live your life. Being a Nurse is an art, one that requires patience, a steady hand, and an eye for things that are truly miraculous. Unfortunately it seems, that not all professionals have this mindset when it comes to caring for people. While some have what many would classify as never ending compassion and love for those they care for it seems that others are only there to get in, get out, and earn money. I, like many others, have had the sadly tragic experience of having this occur to me and my
