Recommended: Reflection on volunteer experience

1. Tell me about yourself. So, I moved here 2 yrs ago from the Philippines where I got my bachelors. I worked as a Volunteer nurse there in the Phils before I came here in the US. I am a goal oriented and compassionate person. When I came here in the US, I started working in an assisted living facility as a resident associate where I helped elderly patients with their ADLs and provided nursing care. I worked there for a year and a half until I got my RN license. Right now I am a Pediatric Home Health nurse, I provide nursing care for a baby with central Line and G-tube. With my 2 years experience in the medical field it helped me build confidence as a health care professional and taught me the importance of pt care. I am very determined and always willing to learn.

2. Why do you want to work here? Why here in Lubbock? What do you know about UMC? …show more content…

I started searching for a job there in Lubbock and saw several openings in UMC which doesn't require at least 6 months of experience. So I looked at UMCs website and found out that it is actually a public, non profit hospital and is a teaching hospital for Texas Tech. I like that your passion is to serve people by providing the highest quality of pt care and training future health care professionals. I want to be part of the growing population of UMC where I can gain new skills and grow as a nurse and as a

    The new information that I have learned is that Registered Nurses do not just work in hospitals but other places too, such as nursing homes, schools, and clinics. Nurses are able to just about the same things doctors can, and they are ranked one of the most employed occupations in the Health Care field. I do believe that this is a good career choice for me because I want to be able to help people not only mentally but physically as well. I feel as though this career choice will give me the opportunity to do just that. This will allow me to help patients to maintain their help so that further visits to the physician will not be as necessary for bad health, but to check on how well their health

    My community service work at County Hospital is to care for the rudimentary needs of each patient. My goals are to provide inspiration during the healing process, teach kindness and compassion, and discover my own abilities for empathy. "Courage doesn't always roar.

    1010 Words  | 3 Pages

    I believe that Nursing is a profession that is unique to the individual. My reasons for choosing such a profession is due to the fact that I have a desire to help others. Growing up with a very sick parent of whom I traveled back and forth over the years to many physician offices, lead me to develop my career path at an early age which was nursing. I watched the many doctors and nurses providing care to my mom in such a compassionate way, and as a result of the kindness they showed my sibling and me, I was very much aware this was as some may say, “my calling”. I had a conversation with my mom and told her that one day I was going to be a nurse so that I could care for her in the same manner that I saw the nurses and physicians caring for her. I wanted to

Watching my family deal with my grandfather made me aware of the care and services the elderly need and has made me realize how important it is to volunteer at a local nursing home.

    Volunteering has been one of the fun things that one could ever ask for. I volunteered at church to be a Sunday school teacher and it has been a blessing.

Since I would like to be a Pediatric Nurse, this becomes a form of learning and helps me to know and interact well with children.

    As a child I remember constantly requesting assistance from others whenever I needed a helping hand, and I always seemed to receive it with no resistance. As I grew older I watched as less and less people sought to help me when I was in need, and through time and experience I’ve learnt that if I ever needed a helping hand it would always remain at the end of my own arm. Although I sound a bit bitter, I’ve learned to appreciate and accept the lesson I’ve been taught and to initiate it in the process to becoming a better women. As I grow older I will continue to help myself, but I will refuse to have it hold me back from helping others. I give freely.
