A career in medicine is one of the most prestigious careers to have not only in the United States, but in the world. A career that allows you to help mankind and help people survive in a world filled with diseases and harmful bacteria must be a true blessing. Enriching lives of others would not only benefit them, but would bring a deeper meaning into my life. If I had the chance to choose any career I wanted, why not choose a career that will introduce me to new patients and cases that I had to critically think to find the best care to help them recover? Why not choose a career with job stability and the ability to specialize in anything I wanted and be one of the people in charge to make the big decisions? My motivation in medicine started
when my father passed away in high school. He always told me he saw me wearing a white coat and thought I had the compassionate and caring personality to be a pharmacist or physician. After he passed away, I decided I wanted to go for pharmacy and looked for a job as a technician after I graduated high school. I found a job at a specialty compounded pharmacy during my freshman year of college and felt like I was going to feel like that’s what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. However, that was not the case for me. Nevertheless, I did in fact learn a lot from my job as a technician from making compounded medicine, getting more comfortable talking to patients in person and on the phone, and speaking to healthcare professionals. I just felt like I would not enjoy being a pharmacist for the rest of my life so I decided to try my other option as a physician. I started to try and lead my focus on learning more about being s physician. I have been looking for a job as a scribe for months and finally got the job in August. I also started volunteering in a clinic filled with volunteer doctors that come and give medical care for immigrants and people who do not have health insurance. Ever since I started volunteering at this clinic, I knew I would enjoy the career choice as a physician for the rest of my life. The way the patients look at the doctor with gratitude and respect is what I hope one day patients could look at me. Helping a single patient would make me feel like a made a difference in the world. Health is often taken for granted when one is young and has no worries. Some people abuse their bodies not realizing the long term effects it does to you. That is why I also want to spread awareness on some of the things that hurt your body. My dad used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day since he was young, not realizing what it did to his body. In the third world countries he used to live in, no one would educate the teenagers the danger of smoking. He smoked from the age of 18 to the age of 55. Once his body started to catch up to his smoking habits, he wanted to quit. My family would always push him to stop and he would try but he never could. Smoking is an addictive disease that is very difficult to stop once you start. It was very devastating to see my dad try to stop smoking but never could. That would be one of my goals as a physician: to spread awareness of the dangers of smoking to young adults all around the world.
desire, but instead the desire should be to help people be healthy. Although some believe they deserve a big payoff because of the amount of money they put into the becoming a doctor. Goodman believes that is your intentions are only for the money and not the passion of medicine then the medical field should not be for you.
First I would like to state that any career in a medical field takes a lot of dedication and many hours studying and it is not for everyone. I would also like to say once an individual has made a career out of it the job has long hours and can be very stressful, so I suggest readers to not consider a career in medicine unless you are genuinely interested in the work, and are not in it just for the money.
I grew up in a research and development campus where my father is a scientist. Research and curiosity were constantly encouraged and this prompted me to take up medicine as a career, a field that offers tremendous prospects for research and discoveries. Throughout medical school I tried to be involved in research and attempts at trying out new ideas, be it in the lab or working with human subjects. I carried this through my residency and now my fellowship. The idea of studying a topic or issue that has so far not been treaded upon seems to be extremely exciting and challenging.
A career in the medical field is always evolving, and always needing more hands. I knew from a young age that helping people is what I was meant to do, and from then on out every step I took was the way to a successful career in nursing. It is a profession that allows you to see people at their worst, all while helping them become their best. The most important task for nursing students is to create a clear pathway for our education, and to be sure to follow that plan accordingly. When choosing this career, I had to access my own strengths and weaknesses and really establish clear goals for myself and evaluate if I had what it takes to be a part of this diverse and skilled profession. I also decided not only not only do I need to set professional goals for this career, personal goals are important as well.
“As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.” I relate to this quote by Paul Shane Spear because it mirrors how I feel about pursuing a career in nursing. I want to be able to help others as much as I can. Arriving to this career choice was not a simple decision for me. What influenced me most in wanting to be a nurse was helping my grandfather during the past several years, and helping him through different illnesses and surgeries. My grandfather, who I call Papa, lives with me and my immediate family. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to help him because he and I are very close and he is my best friend. Through my involvement in helping him heal from his medical challenges, I was able to come
Along with creating steps which will lead me towards my ultimate career goal, the creation of a specific five-year plan for myself was key. In five years I will be in school, hopefully in my final year of my Masters degree; a plan which seems so simple to achieve, however requires an extensive amount of hard work and dedication. Being so far in my academic career already, I will hopefully have worked in summer internships or been employed during the year by a speech-language pathologist or various health institutions to gain experience in the profession and potentially become full time employed by one of these institutions post-graduation. Within the five years, I will have as well established networks and built relationships with multiple
This career option as an assessment employer for the child protective services could possibly be a long-term career option. Although, I do not believe I would want this as my long-term career goal. Choosing to work directly out of college would also allow myself to gain experience within the field which would improve the possibility of getting a better job or getting into graduate school. If I was hired and I did accept the position within five years my goal would be to continue working while attending school to further mu education. I would continue to work to gain more experience as well as helping me get through school by paying off my tuition. I would not leave this job until I graduate and had another job lined up.
In times of crisis, have you ever noticed that some people run towards a disaster rather than away from it? During September 11th, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing, news channels showed everyday people not hesitating to aid first responders and help each other amidst danger.. Within each of us there is a desire to help others in need. In response to threats, human beings feel a wide range of emotions. As an ER physician, I must channel these emotions into action. While this initiative remains essential, my tasks cannot be accomplished without compassion and teamwork.
The biggest problem with being a first generation child is living with idea that your parents sacrifice isn’t wasted on your unwillingness to see their dreams come true. Becoming a doctor, lawyer, or an engineer isn’t your dream or goal, it’s theirs’s. As a child growing up, I was pushed towards a medical route by my father, as he had high hopes of me becoming a big name doctor. With the idea of medicine in mind, I really had no idea in what direction I wanted to go. The possibilities of what I wanted to do in life in regards to medicine were endless. So I started to turn towards TV and one of the most influential shows that got me into what I wanted to do is the show Dexter. Dexter’s field of work was not exactly what I had in mind, but it led me to focus on Forensic Science. With a little extra research I found a job that I had my eyes set on, and that was becoming a Medical Examiner.
From a young age, I was drawn to the healthcare field, not because of the amount of money doctors, nurses and other health professionals made, but because of the dedication and contentment I saw on their faces helping someone in need. Growing up everyone wanted to become a doctor or a nurse and as a little child being a doctor or a nurse was a profession many parents wanted their child to pursue as a career. Needless to say, I fell into that category because I wanted too. However, that dream came to a halt.
witness the amazing efforts made by the nursing staff that ultimately saved my brother’s life.
I worked as a greens keeper at a golfcourse named Baycel. I had many responsibilities there including making sure the course was in good shape and playable each day.
The occupation that I choose was pharmacy tech because pharmacy tech’s work mostly in the back of the pharmacy dispensing medicine and not dealing with customers so much as Pharmacists do. I would like to work in this occupation because, like I said in the beginning, I would not like to deal with people as much as Pharmacists do. I would like to work in this occupation because pharmacy tech they work in the back and sometimes, they answer questions that the patients have about the medicine. Pharmacy tech’s also dispense medicine for patients, answer question that the patients have, like I said before, and supply medicine for patients whether it's over the counter or prescription. Another occupation that I was considering doing was to be a pharmacist. The reason why I was considering being a pharmacist's was because they also distribute medicine like the pharmacy tech’ s do, they provide information about
I met Amy in the fall of 2014 at the College of Saint Benedict when she was student in my Advanced Adult Nursing Skills course. Upon meeting Amy, I was immediately impressed by her excellent communication skills, outstanding work ethic, positive attitude and her devotion to learning.
Ever since I can remember, I have always dreamt of a career in medicine. I have always had a passion of saving others people's lives. Being a doctor is meant for me because I love taking the time throughout my day to make a difference in people's lives. I am willing to further my education for an extended amount of time just to fulfill my dreams of becoming a doctor. Others want to become a doctor because of money or prestige, I want to become a doctor to help the people that are ill. My grandmother, who has been suffering from Cancer for 3 years is recovering from therapy. Even though, she experiences skin problems frequently, the doctors are still doing everything in their power to help her recover. Her hair have started to grow back and she is back to her normal self. This is one of the reasons why I want to be a doctor. When one is a doctor, people look up to that individual when they are at their weakest point. When they have no one else a doctor helps maintain a sense of hope for the patient and his or her family. I will be honored to say that I will be the person people turn t...
