Personal Statement: My Ideal Work Environment

Improved Essays
How would you describe your ideal job? Your ideal work environment?
The emergency room is my ideal place, but it will be nice to have sufficient staff and more respectful patient. If not everything is dependent on patient satisfaction that I think that would be a better ideal environment.

What 's your most important professional achievement?
Right now the most important is my masters as a nurse practitioner. I’ve been nominated for the last couple of years for...it’s called the Falling Star Award at my job you get nominated depending on my co workers. I’ve been nominated almost every year. The reason why I haven’t won though anymore is because I need to take a certification exam and i haven’t been able to take it.

What motivates you to be
…show more content…
Everyday up until recently I haven’t been in charge because I’m pregnant and its a big risk, but before I got pregnant I was always in charge of the emergency room and the pressure is like none other. I perform extremely well all the time because having to allocation the patients where I have people coming in and ambulances coming in and I have to delegate transporters, clerks, nurses, nursing assistants, plus deal with the patients and know everything that 's going on with every patient in the emergency room. Whether they are critical or not I need to be able to have a group of people to be ready to receive a critical patient. I need to be able to juggle resources that I have and sometimes our resources are limited, but we always get through the day. There are days where the sentence is pretty high when we have over 80 patients and I need to know everything that 's going on with the patients so you get used to that.

How has your training prepared you for a nursing career?
I would say that in all reality … the training that i got in school wasn’t that much of a preparation for until I actually go to work. I learned more when I continued my profession than in actual clinicals because i was able to work and learn more and have more experiences. So it was a stepping stone, but it wasn’t an actual real preparation.

Did something/someone influence you in your childhood to pick this

    Chances are that at some point in everyone’s lives, people will have experiences in the ER, whether they are being admitted, having tests done, or just visiting a loved one. Many people who visit emergency rooms think they are very strict and high-stress environment; nurses are speaking to each other by using jargon that few people understand. What patients do not see is the hospital from the perspective of a staff member; it is completely different from a nurse’s point of view. I chose to observe an emergency room to reveal how the nursing staff functions, as well as confirming or busting the stereotype of how hospitals run based on television shows such as Grey’s Anatomy. I contacted my aunt, Emily Clarkin, who doubled as my informant.…

    Today, I began my first day in the insurance/billing office observing two ladies call insurance companies and different patients to check their insurance benefits. First, I started off helping them file some invoices, consent forms, and verify benefits for certain procedures. Also, I got to go through old patient files to check for the patients that did or didn’t have a procedure done. After lunch, I started putting together patient information packets and prenatal care packets. Overall, I think today was a slow day for the office because a provider is out sick, one employee ended up getting fired, and two LPNs are sick.…
