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. I have also nursed a lot of people who have had stroke and seen children …show more content…
I also believe that my experience as a registered nurse in Samoa has supported me to know what Samoans need and what approach is relevant to the way our people live. I also have the experience of working with people from other cultures like Maori, Tonga and Tokelau. My long term goal would be training more health professionals in the area of speech and language therapy by sending them to the University of Auckland in order for this service to be extended to other Pacific Islands in the future.
I would be interested in a position for a full time speech language therapist in your organisation with conditions similar or close to the following:-
• A salary around 45,000 or more corresponding to my qualification and experience.
• A senior speech language therapist or speech language pathologist to supervise me for the period of two years for preparing me to work on my own in the following years and ensure that the speech language service are provided in a quality needed by our people. If it’s not possible, the University of Auckland in affiliation with the Speech Science Department are willing to provide support for a supervisor for me at this
After graduating Anacortes High school I plan on attending a four year private liberal arts university. I will be pursing a Bachelors of Science in Nursing leading to a career as a Registered Nurse. My main interest is a specialty in pediatrics. Following a month stay at Children's Hospital after enduring emergency surgery and a difficult recovery I decided nursing is what I'm meant to do. The nurses inspired me, and I hope that I can help a family and child in the same way that they helped
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
Wide reaching, nurses significantly outnumbered physicians as providers of health care often having utmost vast reach remoteness to underserved communities. Having personally lived in one of the underserved communities in my hometown Western Africa before moving to the United States of America and my life calling to be a nurse from a young age with the deep desire to make a difference. I plan to contribute and continue to contribute immensely to the underserved communities by delivering quality health care to remote regions around the world. I do volunteer service at several clinics in the Atlanta area with many well-known Emory physicians that care for homeless and underserved populations, these volunteer experiences provide me with opportunities and fulfillment to develop added headship skill and experience to meet my daily patients, needs.
Since Speech Therapy programs are not offered in Fiji, I would go there to help children, work with teachers, and offer parents ways to help their children. I will work closely with the teachers to train them and involve them in my work with the children. I will help educate parents and help them acquire basic techniques to help their children who have speech disorders.4 Another way I would serve my profession is by participating in KidScreen which is a program used to screen children for speech, hearing, and vision to detect disorders in communication in children early in life. I would be able to provide an instructional plan, make medical referrals, and follow up with referrals with phone calls. 1
In 2003 during the last semester of nursing school, my life was devastated as my ex-husband was arrested as a serial rapist. This was overbearing and I thought this as being impossible to recover from. A breaking point came as I approached a red light deciding whether to deliberately run my minivan into oncoming traffic with my two young children to end our lives. Only days later, I once again felt that I was at the lowest point in my life as the reality of this event truly hit during a medical-surgical examination.
I want to pursue a career in medicine by working in the field of nursing. Specifically, after graduating from Illinois State University, I plan to start working in pediatrics to help me become a certified pediatric nurse. A bachelor's degree from ISU’s Mennonite College of Nursing is a good fit for my educational goals because of your high freshman retention, graduation, and pass rates for national and state licensure examinations. ISU has an excellent academic reputation, and because I am someone who takes my academics seriously, academic quality is important to me. After seeing the campus tour videos, looking at your majors, and learning about the Traditional BSN program, I knew ISU was the school for me. I know that at ISU I can develop the skills necessary for success first in college, then in the nursing field.
People around the world would not be cared for, educated, and have emotional support during their injuries and their family member's injuries, if it was not for Registered Nurses. Registered Nurses need to genuinely have people skills in order to care for patients and their families. Registered Nurses need to educate people on health care and how to take care of themselves during injuries. The amount of RN's has been growing at a percentage of 19%, which is faster than average ("Registered Nurses: Occupational Outlook Handbook"). This is excellent because there are more Registered Nurses, therefore, there are more patients being cared for. Being a Registered Nurse requires an associates degree, specific qualities such as people skills and sympathy, and knowledge about medical care to be able to do the duties.
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.
As I contemplate why I am choosing the Acute Nurse Practitioner Program I look back to my childhood. This desire to serve others started as far back as I can remember. I wanted nothing more than to care for any relative that would let me, I dreamed of becoming a nurse at a very young age. I felt a strong connection to the compassion and dedication of the nurses I had the opportunity to know and work with volunteering in my local hospitals. However, I placed my dream aside in 2006 and joined the United States Air Force. I served my country here at home, overseas, and the Middle East. During this time, I volunteered at Landstuhl Regional Hospital in Germany, with the Red Cross, in patient care. I was privileged to work with many outstanding nurses that mentored me.
Living with her the early months in the hospital, and observing the doctors and nurses involved in her care taught me a lot about the health care field. From charting her input and output, oxygen saturations, administering oxygen via oxygen tank and concentrator, bolusing tube feeds, medications and giving shots on my own at home, I feel comfortable assisting a nurse with the abovementioned and with many other aspects of nursing. I am highly motivated to learn more. Not only did I learn the technical aspect of nursing, but I was able to be on the receiving side, and was given so much empathy and compassion from the nurses that I would love to provide that aspect to the patients of

As a course of life, people are born, raised, and go to school until the time comes where they need to make a decision about their career. In fact, most careers have one common theme among them---Help or give back to community and society. I for one have chosen a career in nursing to help people and give back to my community. Other than the fact that I want to help people, a career in nursing will expand my horizons, give me career opportunities, and job satisfaction.

Many of whom were lacking in both the knowledge and at times grace to work with a women in my mother’s state. As a result of this and my willingness to learn and love I have lately found myself stepping up to care for her. I have experienced the early mornings and late nights associated with caring for and maintaining an IV line as well as the handfuls of medications to be delivered at certain times throughout the day. This experience I have come to realize is part of what made me truly fall head over hills with nursing. In addition to the endeavors with my mother I was able to obtain and keep a job at my local elderly care center. It was my three years there that helped me to both learn and love to care for people in a professional setting. The work I accomplished with my coworkers and supervisors during my time there also turned out to be not only helpful when providing care but in my everyday life as well. They helped me to understand that everyone has different personalities and beliefs and that when they are combined something magical just might happen. Despite the different opportunities I have had in my life, I like all other people am still
