...To have the opportunity of using my skills and knowledge at immediate disposal in order to provide the best possible patient care and improve the quality of lives within this challenging, yet remarkable profession ignites my drive to pursue this career. I am looking for a degree course that will significantly extend my knowledge further in the field of pharmacy as I have always had an interest in the healthcare profession, particularly the pharmacy field where there is direct patient interaction. After considering various career roles I have chosen to become a pharmacist as I am enthusiastic about every aspect of the profession. The variation of roles and responsibilities within this profession sparks my interest even further, for example community pharmacists advise patients on the proper use of their prescription and non-prescription medication use, and keep records of their patient’s health, illnesses, and medications, whilst hospital pharmacists advise other health professionals about the actions, interactions, and side effects of drugs, and counsel patients about medications....

...my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our nice big house, white picket fence, and dog in the backyard. We also want to be happy. These next few paths are ways I might be able to achieve both. I have many different possible interests when it comes to my future. I hope to attend a four year college, and after graduation attend graduate school. Having gone to small schools my entire life, I prefer a small school. I am looking for a school with a tuition under $30,000, but would not rule out schools that aren’t significantly over my budget. I am open to the thoughts of leaving home, yet I am not sure I would survive on my own. None of preferences are set in stone and I am willing to try and consider new possibilities. When it comes to careers and majors, I have considered becoming a pediatrician, orthodontist, pharmacist, or being an english major. After researching all of my options, I became even more interested in pharmacy. A pharmacist helps in the treatment of disease. They advise both doctors and patients about the dosages, interactions, and side effects of certain medicines and help people make decisions regarding which drugs to take. Pharmacists work at...

...Running head: WHAT ARE THE REQUIRMENTS TO BECOME A PHARMACIST? 1 What are the Requirements to Become A Pharmacist? Review of the Pharmaceutical Life Insert Name Lone Star College Cy-Fair Author Note This paper was prepared for English 1301 taught by Professor Jamil Summer. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A PHARMACIST? 2 ABSTRACT A pharmacist is a healthcare professional who is a expert on pharmaceutical drugs and how they act to fight disease and improve the heath of the patient. Pharmacists are responsible for the implementation of drug therapy with the intention of improving the quality of a patient’s life. Some examples of such improvements include curing diseases, reducing or eliminating a patient’s symptoms, slowing the process of a disease, and preventing disease. A pharmacist works with patients and other healthcare professionals in order to design, implement, and monitor a drug therapy plan specifically designed for that patient. Not only do pharmacists advise doctors and patients on prescription drugs, but they also provide information on the best medications that can be purchased “over the counter”. The most common goal of pharmacists is to move beyond their traditional role of simply dispensing medication and deal with patients more directly and on a more personal level. They strive to be a source of advice on medications for both heath-care professionals and patients. They also are dedicated to providing individualized services...

...Andrew Yates Instructor – Anissa Demiter ENG 111 January 16, 2015 Literacy Narrative Throughout my childhood, the idea of having a college education was greatly stressed. As a result, it was my duty as the next generational child, to excel in my studies and achieve a life of prosperity and success. Learning became the basic foundation of my growth. Therefore, my youth was overtaken by many hours spent reading and writing what was known to be correct "Standard" English. I first found this to be a great shortcoming, but I knew that one day I wanted to have a great career. At this time I had no idea what I was going to become but trough reading and writing I had a few ideas. One idea was to be a truck driver or a pharmacist, but I later discovered I liked law enforcement much better. Through the many years of school I have found it very hard to get through my English classes. I found writing to be the hardest subject, but I always gave it my best. Reading I found much easier. I have always liked reading more it is easier than to write something. My mom always helped me through by encouraging to do so. She always told me “son if you just give it your best then you will make good grades”. Those words have stuck with the throughout my life. I strive to do my best in everything I do today. I give it my best. I think the reason I struggled with writing is because I’m more of a hands on person. I have been this way for as long as I can remember. I used to take...

...of the most valuable experiences I gained as an EMT was being able to witness firsthand how medicine truly interacted with patients and what direct effects the prescribed treatments had on a case by case basis. This real life experience taught me many valuable lessons that cannot be learned in a classroom or behind a desk. My experience has also led me to the conclusion that, as an EMT, my abilities are limited by my inability to directly prescribe medicine to my patients. As a licensed Pharmacist, I'd have the tools necessary to exhaust all possible scenarios, which would allow me to prescribe the proper medicine needed to treat the patient to the best of my ability. With modern medicine changing and improving on a seemingly daily basis, the allure of constant learning and growth is both intriguing and motivating. The day to day interactions and trust building with patients and colleagues, coupled with the pride I take in giving back to my community have inspired me to want to be a Pharmacist. My experience as an EMT has proven to me that a life in the medical field is physically and mentally demanding. Very few people understand how draining the medical industry can be. There are times when we as EMT's are physically and mentally abused or belittled. There is emotional, physical and mental drain from missed meals, loss of sleep and a nonexistent social life. However, there's also closeness and a kind of brotherhood we as EMT's develop with each other since we spend so much time...

...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.

...Final Research Paper Tanya ANT 101: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology Final Research Paper Different societies exist throughout the world and within these societies each society develops culture that works best for them. Within these cultures they pass all their acquired knowledge and traditions down from generation to generation. Nevertheless, each culture has their own way of life, own marriage beliefs, their own values and feelings on life and religious beliefs. Cultures tend to have their own way to run their government, and ways to keep their economy up to their standards. Most importantly in cultural anthropology it is imperative to value culture relativism. This is the view in which no culture is superior to other culture when comparing systems such as morality, law, and politics (Crapo, 2013). Each culture beliefs are equally valid depending on the environment. In this paper, I will delve into a piece of my culture from an outsider’s standpoint, an etic perspective, and furthermore, I will examine another culture from an emic perspective on their traditional practices. Not only will I examine gender roles and equality in the United States workforce from an etic perspective, but also polygyny in Sub-Saharan Africa from an emic perspective. Throughout American history the number of women in the United States workforce has been increasing even though American society has always claimed men to be the breadwinners and heads of the house.

...World War II there was a sudden growth in junior colleges to support the demand for technical training and education of returning veterans. At the same time there were accelerated advances in medical sciences and facilities and a supporting demand for more nurses. Creative educators, led by Dr. Mildred Montag, starting in the early 1950’s created the two-year ADN curriculum to help meet the growing demand for nurses. “Dr, Montag’s doctoral research, not only as the spark that began the Associate Degree Nursing movement, but also the research base that proved her ideas could work in the real world and established Associate Degree Nursing as the only nursing program that was research proven over time.” However, some educators took liberties and experimented with the ADN curriculum as they worked to provide the best mix of clinical and classroom education. In 1965, the American Nurses Association (ANA) published a position paper titled “A Position Paper on Education Preparation for Nurse Practitioners and Assistants to Nurses.” This paper stated; “the education of all those who are licensed to practice nursing should take place in institutions of higher education” and “the minimum...
