Ever since I was a child, I wanted to become a nurse. My father was always in and out of the hospital as a result of diabetes. One of my earliest memories is of him telling me to become a nurse so that I can take care of him. He passed away when I was ten years old. As a result, I devoted my school career to pursuing a nursing degree, seeing as it was what my father wanted. That was until my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2007.…

I was one of maybe eight out of a class of 50 who passed the TEAS Exam with a score high enough to grant me admission into their competitive RN program. During my time at Rasmussen I have taken my studies very seriously and have earned Honor Roll. However, my educational and career goals surpass that of which Rasmussen can provide for me. I hope to first achieve an AS at USF and then to be granted into the AS-MS Accelerated Graduate Program. I know that the program is very competitive, but with the resources provided at USF, I know I can excel. I hope that my strong desire for success shines through what I have written here and that you take my awards, honors, and applicable skills into consideration when deciding on my admission status. I can assure you that if I am admitted into USF, I will always grant my classes (as well any extracurricular activities) my upmost attention and full effort at all…

As a member of QAA, I would like to learn more about the accounting industry. I have taken a number of accounting classes, as well competed in the accounting category at DECA. However, my knowledge is limited to the theory of accounting; I have little to no insight on the industry itself. I feel that, as a Commerce student, it should be my responsibility to have insight into as many relevant industries as possible. In addition to industry insight, I believe there are some very valuable benefits of being a member of QAA. First, receiving tips for how to succeed in an interview are valuable for all Commerce students, and I recognize that there is room for improvement in my own interview skills. I hope to take away some valuable lessons on interviewing…

A major advantage of becoming a physician assistant is the benefits that come with employment. When i researched at John Hopkins hospital a benefit i found was health insurance. This included medical, vision, prescription and dental plans. A great thing about John hopkins hospital is that the health insurance covers family members also. Another benefit would be life insurance at no additional cost. They also provide legal assistance which offers access to legal services for almost all personal matters. Disability is available as well this includes when you are unable to work due to illness or injury, or because of having a baby. Paid time off is part of John Hopkins comprehensive benefits package, “employees receive paid time off…
On average, I juggle the workload of a full time student and a certified nurse aid (CNA) position, working approximately 20 hours per week. As a CNA, I am responsible for working with a team of two other CNAs and providing care for 30 elders. My responsibilities are to bathe, dress, and assist elders to dine, serve meals, take vital signs, assist in minor procedures, and assist them with activities of daily living. When working in a long term care facility, it is easy to be negatively affected, because of the customer service nature of the job. Providing care to elders, is very rewarding and beneficial work, this leads to a high job satisfaction.…

To me, the National Honor Society (NHS) is an organization where students who are well- grounded, can improve on themselves. The main point of the NHS is to aspire leaders to help out their society. Being part of the NHS will for sure, look very good on leaders' resumes and help them get into the college of their dreams.…
Being a Healthcare Administrator can be both a challenging and rewarding job. One must maintain a certain set of skills, education, as well as certifications to properly be successful in this career. Your overall job description is to plan, direct, or coordinate medical and health services in hospitals, clinics, managed care organizations, public health agencies, or similar organizations.

Your load is usually always full because you have an entire location to manage and run properly. But the job is also rewarding in many ways as well. There could be situations…
My interest in a Resident Assistant position comes from my desire to help. I was born with a very strong sense of empathy and if I see that a person is struggling I do all that I can do to alleviate them. Whether it is a person with a learning disability who struggled in class to the “weirdo” in high school who just wanted a friend, I’ve been there for them. Nothing is more painful to me than seeing a person being mistreated, under respected or neglected and I do all I can to protect people from this. My goal is to make every person feel as if they have someone on their side, someone rooting for them and someone who cares about them. To me, nothing is more rewarding than to be that someone’s “someone”. I believe that all people, no matter their pasts, deserve this. As a Resident Assistant, I feel that my helpful nature will be put to good use. I want to be there for students who need advice, who need a friend, who need help getting settled into their new lives. For many, the transition into college is not an easy one and I feel that as a Resident Assistant I can be of great support to any and all who need it.…
Ms. Kristin Goetz, the Clinical Coordinator for Radiation Therapy at CCBC, came to Eastern Technical High School to speak with the Allied Health students about the Radiation Therapy program and profession. Radiation Therapists (RT) use high power x-rays to treat tumors and keloids. Therapy only treats the site of disease contrary to chemotherapy, which goes directly into the bloodstream and kills cells all over the body. The oncologist writes a prescription for radiation based on the patient’s stage of cancer and the therapist uses the linear acceleration machine to program the radiation. Therapists see patients daily from Monday to Friday and give the patients the weekends off for their bodies to recover. Therefore, most RTs only work on weekdays from 8am-4:30pm and are on call on weekends. Goetz says her favorite part of the job is that she cures people and can see the contrast from when they come in and when they leave. As a Radiation Therapist one does not get any radiation at all being that, once the patient and machine are set, the RT leaves the room. One of the benefits of the job is that the RT develops a relationship with their patients. In order to be successful at the job, an RT should have a good personality, be detail oriented, be able to detach their emotions, and work as a team.…
I have been a clinical team member and manager in radiology for the past twenty-one years. I decided to go back to college to enhance my knowledge in the field of Human Resources as I have developed my strengths in my current role. I want to be open to opportunities that may present themselves in my current role and organization, as well as those that may come about outside of healthcare.…
On my experience, the administrator explained everything to me that her role is kind of hard to handle because all she needs to do is to make sure that the workers in the facility are doing their job right. I learned that as an administrator, you have to be multi-task with ease. Also, as an administrator, you’ll be expected to turn your hand to job such as sorting out the post, answering the phone calls, ordering supplies, greeting clients, typing, filing, and etc.…
