All of the nurses listed above have to be a Registered Nurse before they can specialize in any of these fields.

Why did I choose Bryant & Stratton

Before I started college I already had my mind made up about what college would be like. I pictured teachers dishing out assignments that I knew nothing about and moving in a pace that I couldn't keep up with. When I first came to Bryant & Stratton I had very little confidence in myself as far as being a student. I wanted to gain the same confidence as my sister who was finishing her first semester at Bryant & Stratton . My sister told me that Bryant & Stratton had small classes where students can get individual help from friendly professors. There is a resource center where students can get help from professors outside of the classroom. Another reason I decided to attend Bryant & Stratton is because of the ninety three percent job placement rate for students who graduated.

When the time came to make a decision as to where I should attend college I knew that I would need to attend a college where I could get individual help if needed. Sometimes I don't understand a lesson the first time it is explained and if I don't get any help I sometimes get frustrated to the point I give up. My instructors are very hands on and they answer any questions I may have. My confidence as a student has increased because of all the help I have received from my instructors and their words of encouragement.

The resource center is a great place to go to get help and also get a professional opinion on assignments. There are instructors that can help you in any subject in the resource center. Free tutoring is also a great service that a student can receive free of charge. My favorite thing about the resource center is that you can get an instructor to review a paper for you and give you feedback on what you should change to make it better.

The ninety three percent job placement after graduation gave me incentive to do well. The thought of working in the field of my choice soon after graduation made me very excited. This percentage also made me feel confident that Bryant & Stratton really cares about their students success . Overall I feel that I have made an Excellent decision to attend Bryant & Stratton college.

What three careers within your discipline are you most interested in

The medical field is a very interesting field to me because there is always something new to learn. In this field a person can always further their education and move up to the next level of their career. There are so many different career paths to choose from in this field. A person can choose the career that fits best with their personality, and their interest as well.

The preoperative nursing position is interesting to me because the assist the surgeons in this particular position. Working that closely with the surgeon would be a great learning experience. I like the idea of being able to watch surgeries first hand or possibly assisting in saving a patients life. The medical field is a field that a person can always continue to gain knowledge in and working with a surgeon can teach me a lot.



Diabetes Management Nurse is interesting to me because a lot of patients don't take their conditions seriously and I think I could help with that. Sometimes a nurse might not connect with the patient in a way that the patient can understand exactly how they should manage their condition at home. My uncle Jeff died from diabetes and every since I became very interested. At a certain stage of my uncles illness he had to go to dialysis, and because some of the nurses there weren't very nice at times, he wouldn't want to go. If I were to choose this job description I would help patients manage their condition in a polite and professional way and hope it makes a difference in their lives.



Pediatric Oncology Nursing would be the most interesting to me because it involves working with children or adolescents who have cancer. I would love to work with the youth because I believe that this is the most important time to have a positive impact on ones life. Working with children and being a good nurse could possibly change their outlook on fighting this disease or living a healthy and normal life.

In conclusion , there are many career paths you can take in the nursing field that are interesting. I believe that these position can be very rewarding to myself and others. There can be a lot of things that I can learn in any of these fields that could open my mind to other career paths.

My Weaknesses

When I think of my weaknesses I think of the things that I am not good at doing. A weakness is something that I would want to work on and later improve.My weaknesses consist of different characteristics of my personality. I procrastinate on important things, I let my temper take over my better judgement,and I have a hard time pacing myself.

Sometimes I wait to do things at the last minute. A lot of time I tell myself that I have more time to do an assignment than I actually do. In my everyday life I don't get a lot of time to relax and, when I do get time to relax I take advantage of it instead of using valuable time to get work done. This is one of my weaknesses that can effect me being a good student. My goal with this weakness is to complete assignments as soon as possible.

My temper is something that Ive been working on for years and it has been getting better. My goal is to be a nurse and I cannot have a temper in this line of work. I don't want to be known for having a attitude, I want to be known for being a professional and polite person.

Another weakness that I have is that I'm not good at pacing myself when I have a big task. A lot of times I just want to see the outcome of things without building a foundation. My mother always tells me that I have to crawl before I walk,I would be the person who just wants to walk.

In conclusion, my weaknesses are something that can be my strengths in time with hard work and determination. I plan to work on my weaknesses one at a time and find the source of why I have these weaknesses and think of what I can do to improve.
