Why the Phlebotomy Technician post is the best entry point in healthcare services The Phlebotomy Technician is one of the most “in demand” professionals in the medical field. There was a time when drawing blood used to be the responsibility of registered doctors and trained nurses that discharged this duty alongside their primary jobs. But the task required focused attention, and exceptional skills and finesse in conducting procedures which were beyond many regular practicing doctors. There was also the possibility of human error, patient injury and lawsuits.…
The very first reason when I started working was to improve my skills. As a new graduate of nursing, I didn't know how to insert a nasogastric tube for example, even though I read it from the books and our whole class tried inserting it on a mannequin. A living patient reacts differently with the tube being inserted via their nostril. You would never know if they'll gag or follow your coaching and have a smooth insertion of the tube into their stomach for decompression purposes.…

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…
Sometimes we have to take risks to get what we want. By supporting an individual to take a risk of their choice you are working in a person centered way. this is about asking the person, reading their files and speaking to others about the individual's back ground, and what their preferences, wishes and needs are. The more you know about your patient the better care and support you can provide for them because you will be focusing on who the person is and what their skills and qualities are. By offering them support and encouraging them more explaining what the success could be from it will make the individual feel more confident in carrying the activity out, by seeing the…
I think the knowledge I have learned from the foundations and history helps me be a more proactive nurse while I am practicing today. I think back to how it took only one nurse, Florence Nightingale, to say we need to start sanitation to help cut down on infection. In todays practice we as nurses are utilizing the idea of we can make a change, we can make our hospitals safer, we can help decrease medication errors, and we can make prevention the key focus to help prevent never events.…
Seeing the huge difference a small group of dedicated people can make to so many lives first led me to think about a career in the Medicine. A profession that will allow me to work with my head, hands and heart plays to my strengths and I look forward to the challenge of applying a high degree of skill and knowledge for the good of others.…
In addition, my employment experience has provided me with great respect for social and ethical views that differ from my own. This position has given me the opportunity to decide if a career in medicine is truly where I would like to be. Working at the hospital has been a truly challenging experience through dealing with the magnitude of death, illness, and recovery. This experience has made me realize that a career in medicine is where I need to be. I have experienced a multitude of emotions and in the end I have realized that the reward of knowing that a life was saved or that through the death of a patient, we have made groundbreaking discoveries in medicine is far greater than the emotional tensity associated with the experience.…
There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…
I learned that no matter what, life is cruelly unfair. I took care of people who were only fifty, yet could no longer eat or speak. I learned that working as a team is important especially in healthcare, no one person should be expected to go it alone. There is so much to be learned from listening to fellow aides and workers; their understanding of the situations that I found myself in helped me learn and adapt my ways of care. I learned to be cautious and pay attention to details to slow down and to be patient. Most importantly I have learned to speak up and make sure that I am heard when I know that something should be changed for the betterment of those involved. I was always told if it does not seem right then it probably is not. The responsibility of someone’s life depends on the decisions that are made throughout the course of a healthcare professional’s day. I am thankful to have had a job that has taught me to stand up for what is right and to speak my mind in order to care for people to the best of my ability. Being a CNA has changed my life and I will never forget the experiences I had and values that I learned my first day, and even my entire first year, of being in the healthcare…

I have been inspired to become a respiratory therapist to help patients, like my mother, who suffer from breathing complications.

When I was a young child, I witnessed my sister receiving stitches on her head. We were jumping on my bed when she fell and hit her head on the headboard. I was inspired by the medical professionals who treated her. Although this was a traumatic experience, it helped shape my aspiration to help others. Serving and improving the lives of others is a fundamental duty that I believe should be a part of everyone’s personal mission. Working in healthcare is the path that I discovered as an ideal way to accomplish this goal of service. In particular, I intend to eventually become an anesthesiologist where I will assist patients during medical procedures.…
