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 three careers within my program that I am most interested in is Peri operative Nurse, Diabetes Management Nurse,Pediatric Oncology Nurse.



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.
