Months into my first semester at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, I had felt a disconnection with the profession I had chosen--doctor. I felt confused and tried to work through it, convincing myself that it was the right choice. Finally, after weeks of confusion I turned to a close family friend and confined in him my doubts. He turned and looked at me and told me that whatever

After classes came to an end, I then transferred to Schoolcraft College (for financial reasons I decided to finish my prerequisites for nursing school elsewhere). At my stay at Schoolcraft College, I made the Dean’s list, was initiated into the Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa, and graduated with an Associate’s Degree in Science. After graduation, I decided to take a nursing assistant program at Schoolcraft College, which I have recently completed.
All in all, I am determined to push myself through college in order to better myself academically. Growing up, I had watched my father try to battle his addiction with alcohol, but regardless of this, ended- up working two to three jobs in order to support his family. As for the other important teammate in my family, my mother who has worked endlessly to try to provide for her children, and at the end of the day still manage to be a great mother.

    College has been a goal of mine ever since I was in elementary school. I have been interested in the medical field for as long as I can remember since my dad is employed at the hospital.

This year I have been really focused on job shadowing different possible occupations ranging from a nurse in OB to a nurse in the ICU. Although I really enjoyed nursing, especially in the OB department I am really interested in the field of a Physician's Assistant.…

    Ever since I graduated from high school and continued on to college, I have placed most of my focus into my studies, but I have also put effort into participating in extracurricular activities as well. From the beginning of first year in college I have pursued a career in medical, first looking to become a doctor, but later changing my direction to nurse practitioner. Why the jump? Well, since joining the MRC and other organizations I’ve learned that I like certain aspects of nursing such as the patient interaction, which is rarity when you’re a doctor, however I also liked some aspects of becoming a doctor such as the ability to diagnose, give treatment, and depending on where you practice, be under your own supervision. A bit confused,…

    Nursing programs like the one offered here at Breckenridge, are designed to prepare and educate nursing students like myself to become well-trained Registered Nurses (RN). Before I can become an RN, I will be required to complete the rigorous program set forth by Breckinridge. Compared to any other training I have received in the past, my nursing student success relies upon not only my ability to adapt and overcome various situations presented but also on adopting good study habits. According to an article by American Nurse Today (2010) “Nursing school can cause a tremendous amount of stress, which may lead some students to drop out. Dropout rates for community colleges can range from 18% to 20%” (para. 1).…

    My Motivation: What motivates me the most to pursue a college degree is that I will be the first person in my family to receive one. My grandmother is the backbone behind this motivation because she was always making sure that academics came first in my life. There was rarely a day that I would come home and she would not ask me questions about my homework, asking what I learned in school, or even looked over my homework. As I got older, she made sure I was a part of a college prep program called AVID from 6th-12th grade and that definitely made a difference for me. It helped me understand the importance of continuing your education and how beneficial it can be to succeeding in life.…
