...The past couple of years in this Health Science endorsement has helped me decide that I want to continue my time in this program. Throughout my high school years I have taken many science courses, making me more encouraged to explore in this area of study. In freshman year, I took biology and that was the first step to something great. I really enjoyed learning about the human body and the entire human existence. This year as a junior I took anatomy and physiology, physics, and health science and clinical rotations, and I love each one. All three science classes helped further my learning experience on the different science aspects and what each has to offer. My career aspiration is to become a Pediatrician, which is a doctor who specializes in helping kids get better. The Health Science clinical rotations benefited me by helping me understand and get a better grasp on what I need to know to be in the medical field. This class will help me get better at my communication skills with patients and learn what it is like to be in their shoes going through what they are. Even though I am an intern with my Pediatrician, I feel like this class will help improve/ benefit how I approach things in such situations, such as,...

...What is Research Katrina Rubio MHA614: Policy Formation and Leadership in Health Organizations Dr. Chanda Holsey May 21, 2012 Introduction Writing papers for school or proposals for your job means you have to look up information about whatever it is you are writing about, this is called research. Research is defined as the collecting of information about a particular subject (Research, 2012). You can’t write any papers properly without conducting some sort of research on the subject and the supporting evidence. What does Research mean to me? According to Tutt (2008), “Research could mean different things to different people and how they conduct the research could also be different.” Finding the ways to conduct the research and identifying exactly what to look for differs from person to person. Research is a powerful tool that will enable the one conducting the research to gain knowledge on the subject and be able to speak about it with great insight. To me, research is very important for anything, not just writing papers but looking up information on anything you may be interested in. When I was pregnant, I researched every single thing I could think of and that helped out a lot to be more informed about what was going on with me and my unborn baby. At every doctor’s appointment I was well educated and was able to ask my doctor really important questions if something didn’t seem right or if I just needed more information. Not only did I use research when I...

...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research. Read through these directions and the requirements for this assignment BEFORE making your choice.

...will help. Once the goals are set, and the decision is made to go back to school, additional research and careful consideration is given in deciding what type of program to attend. There are basic considerations, including program and cost, but the future student should also consider that not all programs are created equal. Graduate study programs often have different objectives and focus (Kuther, PhD, 2013). It is the responsibility of the individual to ensure that the program of choice matches his or her desired learning preferences. I knew I wanted to be a nurse from the time I started college, and it did not take long working in the field to determine that I was meant for health care management. My BSN and management ability has enabled me to work my way up to a senior management position, as the Chief Nursing Officer, at a rural hospital. I believe that by obtaining the MSN/MHA dual degree, doors will continue to open in health care administration. For this reason, I have found my way back to school and I am a proud virtual student at University of Phoenix (UOPX). Through my life journey, I have worked hard to manage my demanding career while helping my wife raise a family and set a good example for our children. While I am traveling the path to my graduate degree, my goal is to succeed in making good grades and continue to manage my family and my career. In the long-term, I hope my decision to improve myself will reflect upon my children, and...
