Why do I want to transfer?

June 17, 2014, on a sunny Monday morning at about 9 am I walked in Mount Sinai hospital in Miami Beach, Florida. I was not ill or anything, but, something was going on in my stomach. It felt as if I had little butterflies in there, and I wondered what could possibly be wrong. But no, it was just excitement exploding in my stomach at the thought of actually volunteering in a hospital. That first day as I stepped in the double automatic doors will forever be engraved in my memory. Nothing special happened that day but I found my happy place:the hospital. From that day on I never remember being miserable one day entering that hospital. Even though I was a volunteer at the case management department which means

    Since my second semester at UT, I have devoted 15 hours a week to volunteering as a Young Life leader. Every week I help run a club meeting for dozens of high school kids, manage a planning meeting with my teammates, and lead a small group for sophomore girls. I spend hours at St. Stephen’s Episcopal School watching games and performances, and simply getting to know these young adults. Through investing this time to build relationships as a mentor and role model, I strove to show these girls that they are significant, noticed and valued. Volunteering as a Young Life leader has taught me invaluable lessons in building relationships, caring for others, and working with a team that will help me to be a more supportive and productive physician…

    During my internship at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center (STC), I gained more confidence in my decision in eventually pursuing a career in health care, either through being a researcher or a physician. I first started my internship at the University of Maryland STC in my senior year of high school as a requirement for my magnet program. The internship was a volunteer position but we performed basic tasks such as stocking each bay with supplies and saline solution, retrieving blood from the blood bank when needed, and providing blankets and socks for incoming patients. I never paid attention to the importance of these tasks until one specific incident.…

    On March 27, 2015, Facebook and Twitter were inundated with the message “Daundre Barnaby, An Olympic Sprinter from Weaver, Drowns.” When I first read this message, I was heart-broken. I desperately wanted it to be a mistake. As the story continued, Daundre, my dear friend, was swimming in the Atlantic Ocean and was swept out to sea by a strong current. Overcome by grief, my emotions were out of control!…

    “Hi! I’m Sona with the OU Teen Volunteers, would you like to buy any cookies, popcorn, or baklava for one dollar?” I said for the thousandth time in my life. This quote was used daily during my last three summers at OU Medical Center. We came into the office every morning at 8:30 am, answered the daily icebreaker with other teens, got assigned our tasks, and went out to bring smiles throughout the hospital.…

    A Respiratory Therapists role in long-term care facility and Homecare My time working at CCOH and RHCS was exciting and interesting. Although they are both respiratory therapist jobs, they each demonstrated something different. While CCOH showed how it is to work in a long-term facility and have consistent patient interaction. At RHCS driving around to the client’s place of business or residence to check on, or collect the equipment, made it personal able.…

    My area that I intend to major in is neonatal nursing because it’s been my dream to be a nurse where I get to help people who are in need, but to be a neonatal nurse is where my heart has fallen into. One huge reason why I am driven to become a neonatal nurse is because my experience with neonates is a tough one as I had lost my newborn sister on a tuesday of August 16 of 2016 (this date is ingrained in my head forever) to nothing. Doctors gave no explanation to why she died, one minute her heartbeat is higher than 100 beats per minute and the next minute it was dropping down to 95- 85 beats per minute. With a hope of getting my sister 2 months before her due date and finally getting a chance to welcome her after 13 years of trying, my mom was rushed down to labor and delivery while the staff all sprinted down to help. I never thought I would hold a dead newborn in my hands, especially my sister.…

    Southern Appalachia holds a special place in my heart. For as long as I can remember, my family and I have spent two or three weeks a year in the North Georgia Mountains. It seems it is only natural then, that I decided to acquire my Biology degree at Young Harris College — in the heart of the mountains. This location not only allowed for wonderful professors, but an environment where the scenery and locals make an impression each day. I have long been interested in medicine, but did not learn of the Physician Assistant profession until later in my sophomore year of college.…

    Before I even started reading the article I thought about how hard it would be for myself to go in every day and see patients and that patients may or may not remember. I know in the begging it would be very hard for me to do this, but I feel as time went on that I would get used to it. I would need to remind myself that I’m not only there for the patients, but also their families too. Once I read the article it really opened my eyes and made me think this might be something I would like to do. I know it might be hard in the beginning…

    I volunteer in the maternity concierge of Mission Hospital, where I am part of the Baby’s First Ride program. Essentially, I am responsible for making cribs for babies, rooms for mothers, and best of all discharging mothers and babies from the hospital. When families are ready to go home I am one of the lucky few who get to wheel them outside. I also make rounds in the ward offering water and asking if any if the parents need anything or running any errands for the nurses. I absolutely love that I get to be present while babies see their first glimpse of the world outside the hospital.…

    The Comfort of Ignorance Much of my life has been filled with blissful ignorance about the world. Growing up, I was consumed by the little problems of my life and never thought twice about the hardships of others. However, as a self-absorbed fourteen year-old, I found that although ignorance is comfortable, it blocks the true reality of what the world is. It was a crisp, clear, and unusually warm winter day when I had to shadow my mom in the ER.…
