I have always found the health care field very interesting as well as ever changing! The fact that new technologies and new medications are continuously evolving, makes health care an exciting place to work. Nursing is a career that I can imagine myself working in as well as flourishing in as an individual of this society.
At Planned Parenthood (PPH) there are several different aspects that compose this health organization. The medical portion of the facility is what people generally think of first, when hearing about PPH. This is the actual clinic portion of the facility where certified physicians and nurses preform screenings or procedures. However, there is much more to PPH than just the medical side; public policy, communication and marketing also play very important roles in the success of PPH. Working at PPH in the "near" future is not something I imagine myself doing but I could envision PPH as a career choice later on in my life. Once I have gained the hands on experience of being a nurse in the hospital setting, PPH might be a great place to consider working or even volunteering to maintain that public policy "hands-on" influence within the community. Being able to go out into the public and educate people on which candidates PPH is endorsing in the up coming elections, is something that I would never have been able to be apart of through just a nursing career. The skills I am learning while interning at PPH have been very community oriented and the values that are placed on the 'right to choose' is something that I will carry with me as a nurse and human being in this world of suffering. I think that working in the educational system as an instructor of new nursing students would be very inspiring and I know that with all the amazing concepts I am learning in various disciplines, I will have a lot to share with others.
Hello Taylor its Rachel I just want to say thank you so much for your comment on my blog. It sounds as though you are very passionate about your career choice and your work study site. Passion is the greatest thing we can have in our job. A job is work yes, that is why there is the ever so popular saying “If it’s fun it wouldn’t be called work, now would it,” well I say down with that idea. We send the first quarter of our lives in school learning about what life has to offer and what we have to offer the world. To then spend the next seventy-five years of our lives being miserable in a job we hate. To enjoy and have passion is the greatest gift in life. I think it is amazing that, even though you are enjoying your work at PPH and can see yourself working there in the future, you still want to go out and experience other exciting possibilities. You have to put your whole heart into your job for it to be truly meaningful. One thing that my dad has always told me that I think you would appreciate is, “The day you feel that you know everything is the day you need to quit, because it is most likely when you will mess up,” being passionate is always being open to new ideas. I hope you get to experience all the medical world has to offer. You have to have love for what you do in the medical field and I am very glad that you do, it will make you years ahead of others. I hope your time at PPH continues to be an amazing and rewarding time.
