1. Describe your career path to your current position. Include information about education and experiences. I really enjoy paddle surfing. Once or twice in every week, I usually go out, paddle surfing. Each time I would go out I would see this sea lion; he would pop his head out facing me like he was looking at me. I got used to seeing him, I even named him Taki. One day I go out and see Taki but he is doing this weird twisting thing in the water. I paddle over and I see he got a red marine rope made of hemp wrapped around his neck and one of his fins. I freaked out and tried to get it off with my paddle but it did not work. I jumped in the water tried to save him but he disappeared under the water and I never saw him again.
Since this incidence I swore to myself that I was going to study anything related to medicine. I settled to nursing believing and hoping that if Taki ever resurfaced again I would be able to apply my expertise and save him.
Nursing is the profession of providing health care to the needy. American nursing association defines nursing as 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. Nursing is a career path chosen by many, me being one of them. Research conducted by Columbia University- my former nursing school- shows that nursing is one of the fastest growing professions within the United States, with an unemployment rate of only 2% and a median salary of nearly $66,000 each year. Although it’s tougher to enter healthcare industry, holding a nursing degree will make it easier. Columbia University is one of the top nursing schools in the nation and teaches one all the aspects of being a nurse and being good at it. [Show Less]
