Oddly enough, that same person walked through my door about thirty minutes later, or at least I thought it was him. I yelled at him. Full on screamed at him for giving me a medicine that nearly killed me. He looked flustered, but then recovered moments later. “What are you talking about?”
Day two clinicals. This day went so much smoother. I had the same two patient as the day before and one got discharged and I got a new patient. I feel like my second day I had an amazing relationship with my one patient. I got her to eat a little more that day because I knew what to talk to her about.
I am currently working as an LPN rooming patients in an OB/GYN clinic. My job includes taking vitals, updating medical records as necessary, preparing exam rooms for the providers, administering injections and medications per order, and recording signs and symptoms for the providers. I work along side the providers and midwives assisting with procedures. I place OB patients on the non-stress testing machines and educate patients on topics such as breastfeeding, maintaining a healthy pregnancy, etc. Working here, I 've been able to witness many situations that drive me to want to succeed as a doctor, such as being able to assist patients who are in active labor or empowering patients to take better care of their health.
Even with this improvements there are, there are still “sadness about the infants who did not survive, even among families who had barely enough to ‘keep the wolf from the door’” ( Judith Lumley). This sadness of losing a child during labour has had a great impact to my great grandmother. My great grandmother known as Maria lost her first infant in labour and also her hope on the medical field. Maria was a privileged women that was able to pay hospital care.

I want to be a physician because I want people to grow old. At the age of 6, one of my closest friends was diagnosed with leukemia. By age 8, the disease claimed his life, robbing him of the opportunity to experience the privilege of growing old. Unfortunately, we live in a society of vanity. We see the process of aging and choose not to embrace it.
This year, I experienced both a personal and academic obstacle that correlate with one another. In January, I started the year long Medical Assisting program at my school. Prior to beginning this program, I was so excited to be getting a medically centered education, and learning about the field I wanted to expand my career in. After entering the program and learning that there is so much more to medicine than just taking care of patients, I began to lose my interest. This was shocking to me since, my whole life up until this year, I believed I was going to become an amazing medical doctor.
From the young age of twelve, I knew that I wanted to be a piano teacher. So, I did. I began teaching at 15 and figured I was all set for life. Then when I was 26 I adopted twins from Milwaukee county. I soon discovered their needs were greater than I had anticipated.
Ever since I could remember, I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher. When I was little I would pretend I was the teacher and my friends were my students. For the longest time I wanted to get my degree in elementary education and become a second grade teacher. I loved working with younger children and second grade was my favorite year in school. However, in high school, I changed my mind.
I decided that I wanted to become a doctor. I started volunteering at a local Hospital in emergency room. This helps me more by realizing how I wanted to save lives is what I do with rest of my life.
Until I decided to go to Lenape, I had not had any plans for what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I learned I could graduate as a Certified Nurse Assistant, I was interested immediately. However, I knew I wanted to accomplish more than that. I love learning and I have a lot of empathy so I knew healthcare would be a perfect match for me.
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,
Oh…. I REALLY wanted to be teacher… I wanted to be an educator, until I was about ten years old; that’s really all I could ever talk about. As a youth coming of of Flatbush Brooklyn, I realize that sometimes a mentor is all a child needs. At this stage of my life, part of me felt that my family and my teachers were the only people that truly cared about my well being.
This is the story of my pregnancy. The night I found out I was pregnant I got a funny feeling in my stomach, and I wasn’t sure what was going on. I told my mom what was going on, but she was already suspecting I was pregnant and already had a test ready for me to take. I took the test and the results was positive.
As a young child, I had a lot of aspirations and dreams for my future career. Originally, I wanted to become a doctor and planned to whatever was necessary to get into medical school. My father was a doctor and as a young unknowing child, I looked up to him. I was fascinated by the human body and the complexity of the various systems that kept it functioning. progressed through my high school classes, I realized that while I enjoyed learning about science, I was more interested in the human mind and behavior.
