1. When I started in college, I was unsure of what degree I wanted to get. One thing I know for sure is that I wanted to be in the medical field. I was choosing between ultrasound, radiology, nuclear med, and nursing. I tried thinking what are my possible chances of getting a job and chances of success in each place. I chose nursing which is a degree with a growing demand and greater opportunities. I selected a career with the highest possible return. I am happy, because I can go back to school for continuing education and advance my career.

    Clinical Observation Paper

    Throughout the entire semester, I incorporated evidence based practice into my clinical days. Whether if I was performing a skill or if I was observing my nurse do a skill, I was thinking is this evidence based. I observed nurses use water instead of alcohol to clean an area on the skin before pricking a patient’s finger for a blood glucose check; this I knew was evidenced based. Some none evidence based thing that I observed were using 5/8inch needles when the nurse should have been using a 1inch length or not using two hands when assessing a patient’s fundus. I met my midterm goal of telling the nurse nicely that this is not what we learned in school.…

Many of them see these meeting as pointless and stupid but they are very beneficial to their progress.

I eventually chose what I thought would be a good stable career simply because it would be a financially good choice but it never seemed like something I could stick with or love. I discounted anything from the medical field because everyone was going there and I didn't want to be a lost number of people rushing to the same career, I wanted to be a little different.…

Through this, I assured myself that I really wanted to be a nurse.…
