How has the clinical experience changed you as a person? I think the clinical experience has had a positive impact on my life. I feel I have slowly discovered how much I enjoy working in a hospital setting. I figured I would enjoy taking x-rays, but you never truly know until you are actually in the environment. In a way I have become more caring as a person, especially when you see newborn babies struggling and fighting for their lives.
My experience is like being an Emergency medical service (EMT) or a Paramedic because such as rolling dice, you never know the outcome. My goal in life is to become a Paramedic. To do this, I will need to go on, after high school to attend a community college for 2 years to major in fire science and receive an Associate's degree to apply for a Emergency Medical Services (EMT) or Paramedic. Once I become an EMT, during the time of work I will still attend school and training to further my education to become a higher position as a paramedic. In the medical field it is always better to excel in your position.
It wasn’t till a couple of years later while working at Miami Dade College that me and a colleague of mines decided to get our weights under control and in the present having a new found confidence in myself I decided to pursue a career as a firefighter. Today I am a certified EMT both nationally and for the state, and currently in the pursuit of obtaining a certificate in the paramedic program at Miami Dade College. Currently me and my family are facing financial issues after my great aunt went through a medical emergency after suffering from both Pneumonia and Congested heart failure. She is undocumented so most of the hospital bills fall under our shoulders to take care
This is a fun, exciting, and cheerful game. It has bunches of people watching others. It makes me feel good when I walk up to the plate. I always feel like I’m at home when I step onto the field. I play my position and have fun doing it.
For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
When I drove home from school, I stopped at a gas station. I wanted to put a full tank in my car. However, as I looked at the gas price, I realized I could not afford it. I panicked. I knew there was a shortage of gas this week, and the gas prices had increased.
The best thing I had accomplishment in high school is doing my 200 over hours in the Mercy Medical Hospital. Doing this was a big accomplishment because I learned how to communicate with the people in the community and also I had also learned new things on how to take care of the patients their to make them feel comfortable while they where their. How I earned these hours was by going once a week and doing four hours and I help people locate where they need to go and I also go to the floors and help them get their things ready when they are about to get discharged. Also, when I was able to work on the weekend and during my breaks I had done eight hours each day I took the extra hours to show that I am capable that I wanna help the people
I lay in a cot in my own section of the surgical center. I was just about to meet my anesthesiologist for my arthroscopic knee surgery. An anesthesiologist is in charge of administering anesthetics “prior to, during, or after surgery or other medical procedures” (“Anesthesiologists”). The anesthesiologist entered the room and greeted me. She was going to be in charge of my life while I was under.
It is hard for me to toot my own horn but I believe I am exceptional because, in addition to the usual applicant assets of intelligence, aptitude, drive, and experience, I seek and embody diversity, I am highly empathetic and sensitive to the needs of others, I am an Eagle Scout who embodies Scouting’s values, I have significant clinical experience, and I speak fluent Japanese. On the above, I do not just talk the talk, I walk the walk. I will be a great doctor because of the above and because I deeply want to serve. It is a calling and not just an occupation for me.
Like many people, I’ve spent the last couple years trying to decide what it is I want to do with my life. After years of contemplating and changing my mind a few times, I finally decided that I wanted to do something in the medical field. I made this decision based on many things. First, I wanted a job that would be around for a long time, and one that is in a booming industry, thus hopefully making it easier to achieve employment. Secondly, there was the fact that, I like many people out there wanted to do something that was helpful.
When I entered an operation room for the first time two summers ago, I saw the fireworks you hear about in movies when soul mates have their first kiss. My heartbeat raised to a point of a questionable heart attack. Every single neuron in my body experienced an explosion of adrenaline and dopamine that originated at my spine and rushed towards my extremities. My smile showed every single tooth in my mouth, but, thankfully, I had a light blue face mask that concealed my creepy smile so as to not scare the other doctors and nurses away. I decided to shadow plastic surgeon Dr. Sandy Gonzalez because I was eager to explore my interest in medicine and surgery.
Ever since then, I knew I wanted to provide patients that go through such harsh medical and surgery procedures to not feel pain and most importantly to provide comfort. I know I am still at a young age, only a freshman in high school, where my decision regarding my future career might change one day, but I believe my mind and heart are more than
My passion for healthcare lies with patient care. I enjoy taking care of patients and their family. I have chosen to become a family nurse practitioner because I can combine nursing and medicine to provide a higher level of care to my patients. As a nurse practitioner will be able to make an impact on my patient’s health through, health promotion, disease prevention, managing acute and chronic conditions and improving patient’s health (Wynne,
Traveling from city to city after every two years since childhood made me realize how much there is to learn and explore. This nomadic lifestyle of mine gave me a thirst to travel and learn about new places, diverse people, and their surroundings. Traveling became a part of life because I am the daughter of an armed officer, but the extensive change in locations made me hungry for more experience. It captivated me to my deepest core. Little did I know that this carving for new adventures would remain with me.
A lot of people don’t understand the pressure that comes with being a child of immigrants. Everything that I do is to prove that I am indeed proof that my parents’ sacrifice was worth it. I guess that is why I always strive to reach my full potential in anything that I do. I believe my full potential can be reached by becoming a heart surgeon. There’s something so captivating about the fact that I can use my parents’ sacrifice to save lives.
