If I were to list the careers that I have had in mind since I was a 5 year old up to my current age the list would probably include: a Fireman, a Doctor, a Local News Anchor, or a Lawyer. However, amongst all these careers there is always one common characteristic in them. That common characteristic is to be given the opportunity to help people. With my passion in the sciences, success, and the goal of helping others there is no better place for me than in the medical field. Through personal, volunteer, and first hand experiences the career I have decided to pursue is neurology. By definition a neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The daily routine for a neurologist is dependent upon who is to be treated and what is to be researched on …show more content…
A neurologist is able to provide families and individuals who are sickened with a neurological disease by prescribing medicine and keeping their patients under watch. Personally, what got me to be interested in this specific career was a vivid experience that my family had to deal with when I was younger, the details of this horrible experience is one that I could vividly remember. Around the year 2010 my younger brother had a biking accident. Consequently, during the fall, he hit his head and immediately started panicking about how he couldn’t move his legs or arms. My already terrified parents and I took my paralyzed brother to the hospital, upon arriving there were many doctors who were performing various tests on my brother in an attempt to find what is causing the problem. About a week later after the incident my family met with a neurologist recommended by our doctor. The neurologist
The career I am curious about is in the medical field, generally speaking, nursing. I have chosen to become a registered nurse because of its background, and how its characteristics require the use of creativity, problem-solving, social skills, and critical thinking. Registered nurses use various skills to diagnose and apply certain care methods to specific patients. I know that nurses aid patients with various illnesses, diseases, disabilities, and injuries. I love helping people and the feeling I receive when helping people. It would also be very motivating to learn and discover things about the human body and how to fix any problems involving it.
This continual career contemplation changed during a night when my grandmother was taken to the emergency department. I remember feeling uneasy and helpless while dialing 911 and riding in the ambulance with her to the hospital. I wished I had the abilities at the time to help her instead of just watching her lay there unresponsive. The staffs at the hospital were very knowledgeable, but I appreciated the nurse that took care of my grandmother the most. As I stood
They also work with Radiologists to help cure patients who may need brain surgery due to bleeding, tumors, or other conditions.
In my opinion, the thing I would love to change In my life this year Is that I want my dad to understand and not to put me down and not think nothing bad of me as an embarrassment In what I mostly want to be In the future which Is to be a barber/cosmetologist I've been wanting to be one since a kid that's all I would bring up to my parents In my perspective to me I think they would say under their breath she Is not gonna get to that goal she Is not gonna reach that I also want my mom to think better of me not to think of her daughter of “ Oh she was born in the streets of Los Angeles and a typical Chola so she Is probably gonna get pregnant at 16 and dropout of high school” I want her to think better of me and not negative, I want her to think
For me nursing was not something that I initially intended to do as a career. During elementary school and into high school I contemplated many different career paths such as cosmetology, teaching, psychology, and forensics. It was not till the later years of high school that I started to notice my desire to help other individuals and love of science, health, and different disease processes. My desire to help people has originated from the admiration of my grandfather’s
I have always been interested in the medical field. My father is a physiotherapist and my mother has a bachelorette in Microbiology and is a laboratory technologist. I have grown up having science-themed discussions around the dinner table and books lying around the house. With the experience of my parents at their respected professions, I did not have the feeling that these paths were the correct fit for me. I liked the hands on side of physiotherapy but I wanted something more technology related. I searched the medical field for a career that combined my fascination for both human science and technology in addition to being able to interact with patients. My research on Radiation Therapy instantly established a thought that this is a career
The career path I have chosen to take is in the medical field. My dream from a young age was always to be a nurse. A nurse is a healthcare professional who is focused on caring for people, and making sure that they manage, maintain, and recover patients to the finest state of health (What is Nursing, par.1). Nursing makes up a vast majority of the healthcare industry. There is a huge range of nursing specialties. Nurses work in General and surgical Hospitals, doctor’s offices, nursing care facilities, outpatient facilities, and home health services (Why Be a Nurse, par. 2). Nursing is an extremely flexible career, with one hundred and four specialties and a lot of advanced nursing degrees, so there is something for everyone in this field (Why Be a Nurse, par. 4). Nurses do much more than just help people heal physically. Nurses are there to make sure patients are taken care of physically and emotionally. There are different levels of
For my Health Science 1 class we were instructed to choose 3 different careers. The careers to be chosen were a health care career, a career of disinterest, and a career we would like to pursue. I aspire to be a Cardiovascular Perfusionist because it would feel great to be able to prevent someone from dying pre- maturely. I dislike the real estate field because they don't make much money and they do entirely too much work for not much profit. I choose Neurology as my health care career because I like learning about the brain, how it works and how and why people get mental disorders.
“What do you want to be when you graduate high school?,” my mother asked me. She has asked me this specific question my entire life but today she wanted an answer. I was seventeen, only a month away until my eighteenth birthday, so it was time for me to make a decision. I told her I did not know and she started to list a bunch of career options I could pursue. She continue to go on and on then, she said Occupational Therapist. My mom described to me what Occupational Therapist did and their job responsibilities. That is when I decided that this is the career for me. I am driven to become an Occupational Therapist because I want to provide for my future family, and to grow spiritually and mentally in the process.
From a young age, I have always wanted to understand other people’s thoughts and feelings. As I have grown older, I have grown even more curious about not only understanding people, but learning how to help them. With this guiding me, my future career goal is to become an Occupational Therapist. Occupational Therapists work with a wide variety of people to help them overcome obstacles in their lives in order to achieve a better quality of life. I specifically hope to work with young children, adolescents, and teens who suffer from emotional, mental, or cognitive impairments. This is due to growing up in a family who fostered challenged children, having siblings with their own challenges, and having many young friends who could have benefitted

Because of these changes, my interests in nursing have been influenced by circumstance. From the very beginning of my journey, I had a strong interest in becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), but because of the need to relocate for my husband’s job, becoming a CRNA was no longer an option due to location. After reevaluating my options, I have established a new interest in becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner, but because of my academic marathon and because of my age, I have also considered foregoing the additional education past a BSN. Other areas of interest include the Emergency Room, Cardiology, Critical Care, and Neurology. All of my career options interest me because they provide challenge and constant change. Hopefully the remainder of my academic journey will help solidify my ultimate career goal in the nursing profession.
