Self Assessment Essay

My name is Beata Koszyk, better known to others as ‘B’. I have a lot of outdoor hobbies like, kayaking, canoeing, fishing and camping. I was born in Poland, but moved to the United States at an early age. After finishing high school, I went to a Cosmetology school and I got my license. Then I decided to go to a Real Estate school, where I got another license. But I still felt a void and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life, so I went to NYU college for a Business degree. My enthusiasm for Nursing first took root after going through some tough times, with my mother getting sick and my friend’s father having a stroke. It was at that moment on I began to realize

Also my spelling got better and I learned more by doing research papers. Reading more articles and books, and then writing a draft, improved my grammar and punctuations and is very effective. When I read, I check when the author places commas & quotations and how he uses punctuations to separate sentences. Most effective way of learning is when a teacher checks my work and corrects it to makes us rewrite it. At first I didn’t understand why we did that, but after I started to do drafts more often, I can tell the different from my previous essays and it all makes sense.
Some essays are more challenging than others and I like the challenge and I think it makes us a better writer. To improve writing I think it’s important to have a passion first, but by doing drafts it’s also a big help in improving anyone’s writing skills. You also need a will to learn, so your work would come out clean and perfectly structured. We all have that, you just need to want to learn and this class makes me want to know more and get better. I already see improvement in my

    Never assume that you will not be good at something when you did not give yourself the time to put your brain to work. A statement that I heard multiple times but that make sense, once again, with this class. I walked in with uncertain and thin writing abilities, and the fear not to be able to align five, different and acceptable essays. However, because of my openness to what would be offered, I acquired and sharpened a great deal of skills. Among which the ability to invent, deliver and edit a text, with the purpose to narrate, criticize or simply analyze, in conformity to the rules of Standard Edited American English. I learned how to stimulate my reader’s senses; grasped the techniques to apply when it comes to writing under pression, and most importantly, I learn to appreciate and incorporate other writer’s input through the writing circle.…

    Throughout my life, many factors have changed, but the one thing that has always remained the same, is the passion I have for helping people. When I was five years old, I saw my Aunt undergo chemotherapy, and I witnessed the impact that the nurse had on her. By the same token, I was astonished at how similar I was to the nurse. That was the groundbreaking moment, when I knew that I needed to be a nurse. Fast-forward fifteen years, and once again, I know that I will be successful in Davenport’s nursing program because I have the perfect combination of traits. My personal and professional characteristics have been demonstrated through my job as a CNA, and those traits will transpire into my career as a Registered Nurse.…

    Becoming a nurse was not something I always knew I wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to have a career in the medical field due to the opportunity for innovations in health care and the challenges for improvement. It was not until my mother’s struggle with breast cancer that becoming a nurse became my mission. As a young child at my mom's bedside, I would watch her nurses as they took care of her. To me, they were pillars of compassion, strength, and advocacy that inspired me to pursue nursing.…

    When people ask me why I am interested in nursing, my thoughts always return to my late father. I was his caregiver for eight months while he battled with lung cancer. During his hospital visits and treatment we encountered many different nurses. Some of the most memorable were the hospice nurses that cared for him during his last days. My feeling at that time was that it takes a special kind of person to be a hospice nurse. I questioned how being a hospice nurse could feel rewarding. I heard several stories from the attending nurses. I didn’t realize how much of an impact these nurses had on not only the patient but also on the family. It has been said that “It is more than just a job, it is a true passion and some would even say that it is a calling.”…

    I first became interested in counseling when I was helping a friend with serious drug related problems and family problems seek help and counsel from advisors. Being just sixteen, I didn’t know how to help him efficiently and felt both powerless and helpless at trying to find adequate resources and services to help him deal with his problems. While I did eventually find counseling services and potential help for him, the effects of his psychological problems were so brutal that he committed suicide. This profound experience of losing a close friend to suicide forced me to develop a strong interest into understanding the role, guidance and motivations that leads people to such extremes. At this point, I had already cultivated the desire to…

    Writing is one thing I hate the most. It was hard to write an essay for the first time because I did not have the knowledge or concept of this writing style. Before this class, I thought I knew what writing was all about by expressing my thoughts, ideas and feeling. I know now that I had the wrong concept on how to write. I can express my thoughts, ideas and feeling, but if I put them in the wrong contents it does not lead the reader to the point of the essay. I hope I learn to write a great essay before the end of this writing course.…

    As I begin to gather all of my pieces together throughout my nursing education, interactions in clinical settings with my patients, families and professionals I have created my own personal nursing philosophy.

While feeling concerned on helping my parents I began to also feel the need to help others. This is when I decided to pursue my career as a nurse.

    Nursing, from the perspective of a first-year nursing student, is a profession that is underestimated. Nurses are the backbone of all health care facilities; without them, quality of care would greatly decrease. Through the influence of maternal figures in my family, along with an inherent interest in health care and a strong desire to care for others, I was drawn to the profession of nursing. However, a nurse requires more than merely an interest and the desire to care for others. During my first few months as a nursing student, my understanding of nursing, or lack thereof has come to light. Through comparing my personal attributes and skills as a student nurse with the required attributes of a professional nurse, my overall competence and preparedness is uncovered.…

    Role Of Nursing Essay

    It is said that the nursing profession is one of the most respected and trusted careers there are. From the beginning, a nurse’s role was to nurture and mend those that are sick, frail and even through the process of end of life, but it doesn’t just stop there. Nursing has come a long way and entails many more aspects than they are even given credit for. A nurse wears many hats and is required to perform duties outside of healing obvious wounds. They are highly skilled and educated individuals, scientists and innovators, who work in many different divisions, all for the best interest of their patients. They require a deep commitment to their work and patients as well as a compassion and love for those who he or she is caring for, always remembering that the patient is the top priority and their well-being is the center of all things they do.…

    Have you ever wondered what your greatest strengths were and how you could use those to help you advance in your career? Many people probably think they have certain personality strengths until they take an assessment to see what they actually are.

    Little did I know that I was going to learn a lot more than I thought throughout the semester in ENGL 1433. I began the course dreading reading and writing. I just wanted to be done with the class before the class began and go back to science classes. I never have considered myself a good writer or someone who was good at analyzing literature, it was never something I enjoyed. Despite these initial thoughts and preconceived notions, I did, for the most part, enjoy the class. Yeah, I still didn’t like to read or to write as I am actually dreading writing this right now. However, I did really enjoy the class discussions and learning about analyzing the literature. I ended up learning a lot more than I thought I would. This…

    This English class has been very helpful in my efforts to improve my writing abilities, but has also been very challenging due to there being a different median for every essay. It’s been a heavy work load especially this semester since I decided to enroll in five classes, but in the end it has been very beneficial indeed. I can’t say that writing essays has been one of my strong points but I believe that this course has helped me improve tremendously and it has also made me feel a lot more comfortable with my writing. While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes. I learned that you have to take your time and start he project early this way you can make multiple drafts and with each draft your essay continues to get better and better. This…
