When I reflect back on my life I see that the desire to care for other people was always in me. My exploration of the world and caring profession began in my early twenties in France and Switzerland where I worked as an au pair. During these travels I came to the realisation that the key to building a successful rapport relies heavily on respecting the childs individuality. This core belief has been a integral part of my career form the children I helped with self awareness to realisation to my present career in which I facilitate clients with intellectual difficulty to self actualise. My love of travel brought me to New Jersey where I volunteered in a palliative care nursing home. It was here that my compassion for the patients and hard working ethic earned me a position as a care assistant. This was one of the more rewarding junctures of my career as there was an emphasis on client interaction. I began to realise that this interaction was the key transforming a functional experience to a theraputic one. I realised that quality of palliative care depends on recognition of a persons uniqueness. I was fascinated by the impact that the emotional support made on the residents.(where did you go after NJ? I assume you did the degree form Ireland you should introduce that here) Eager to learn more I overcame my challenges with dyslexia and the language barrier to earn an upper second-class honours degree in psychology from The Open University. …show more content…

Growing up with my grandparents had helped me determine my decision of pursuing a career in the medical field. My grandparents were Chinese farmers who would always reaching out for our neighbors and providing them with life needs. By growing up with them, I obtain their personalities as well. They taught me to be humble, responsible and caring. I remember a quote by Stephen Richard, “When you reach out to those in need, do not be surprised if the essential meaning of something occurs.” This quote was later proven by my own experience, which I would get this indescribable gratification I get after helping someone. Therefore, I wanted to become someone who can reaching out for others as my grandparents ever since I was little. Being in the

My field placement at the Vidant Home Health and Hospice was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Each day as a Hospice Nurse I touch lives. I cannot imagine a job more suitable for me. Each work day I make a difference in someone’s life. No one can die for us, but we don’t have to die alone; and, that is why I became a hospice nurse. Every day is different, presents new challenges, and always touches my heart. It’s beautiful when talent, and passion come together to make a difference.
While attending college, I took part in the 'Kissing It Better' program. I visited elderly dementia patients at Manchester Royal Infirmary and provided them with companionship. This is what inspired me to want to become a nurse. Enthusiasm and interest in this subject erupted as I saw it as a golden opportunity to have a positive impact on other people’s lives. I have always had a desire to help other people in one way or other, whether they are friends and family or complete strangers. My passion has always been present, but became stronger when I saw first-hand how health care professionals helped myself and my family. During this work experience, I improved my knowledge and skills of care and communication. I listened to the patients and spoke to them based on their needs and personal interests. I also displayed courage while carrying out these visits, speaking to the staff members when concerned about the patients. These visits were carried out
I am a pretty well rounded individual although not perfect by any means. Throughout my life, I have always tried my best to be friendly to everyone and optimistic in all situations. I don’t think anyone would ever describe me as a critical or aggressive person. I’ve always been willing to give advice and be encouraging to anyone that I felt needed it. I believe that I am a fairly conscientious person in that I have always been careful and diligent when it comes to work and other life choices. I’ve always been organized and usually don’t act on pure impulse alone. I’ve never been described as traditional or conventional. I’ve always been open to new experiences and relish every opportunity that can make me a more well-rounded person. People would also describe me as a fairly intelligent individual with a vivid imagination. My weaknesses, however, would have to include my ability to develop people and team process. I’ve always been encouraging, but I can improve upon my ability to develop people by providing feedback to individuals on their performances and recognizing individual contributions when I am part of a team.
