694 Words3 Pages

I started off experiencing the healthcare system from an early age; this is where I fell in love with the industry. I was 8 years old and found myself in and out of hospitals frequently as my family was visiting my sick grandfather. While I was too young to completely understand what was going on at the time, I can still vividly remember the long tan corridors, the white lab coats and the smiling faces of all the workers. There was something unique and different about this place they called the “hospital, it felt different than the outside world. As I have grown older I still believe this to be true, healthcare is an industry where life (and not just the fiscal outcomes) is treasured more than you’ll find in any other industry.

I found myself back in those very same long tan corridors filled with white lab coats, but now instead of smiling faces I only noticed the worried faces of my family around me. This was a paradigm shift in my life where everything seemed to fall apart, only to be put back together better than I could have imagined.

I made it my goal to enter this beautiful world in order to help lives get healed, as it had done for both my grandparents. My undirected glide through life became a spirit driven strive for good grades and passionate …show more content…

I believe I am an ideal candidate for the MSHA program due to my diverse background, unmatched work ethic and a true love for the industry. As I am still young in my career, I plan to take the slow trek through the program by taking two classes per semester. While some may hold the view that I am entering this program too early, I believe it is the perfect time, as I will have a projected graduation date of 2021. This will ensure that I am not only growing in the classroom, in the workplace, and at home, but that I am absorbing the material to my fullest extent

Over my 17 years working at Jackson Memorial hospital, I honestly can say that I only had one conflict. Nothing major; however, the situation was tense and the problem needed to address.

My experiences shadowing with several physicians have given me an insight to the difficult but yet rewarding career medicine has to offer. One of my shadowing experiences that stood out the most to me was when I shadowed at Emory University Hospital. As undergraduate student, I had the opportunity to shadow for a team of neuropathologist led by Dr. Brat. While shadowing for Dr. Brat, we received a patients tissue and the team of pathologist (including myself) determined that this patient had glioblastoma. We had so many patient cases to sign out that I didn’t think too much about the diagnosis.

Nursing, and everything that it entails, cannot be easily described in just one simple word or phrase. It goes beyond the meaning of a profession and the stereotypical definition of treating the ill. Nursing is the “protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations” (American Nurses Association, 2010, p. 1). Therefore, it is a career that requires dedication, passion, critical thinking, and knowledge. It demands commitment and an understanding of its core values and concepts, as well as the nurse’s own personal philosophy and principles.

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.
