Where I'm Going With School... likes and dislikes

Hi, my name is Tasha, as a child I enjoyed cheerleading, swimming, dancing, playing softball and baseball and traveling to countries such as Nigeria, Switzerland, Germany, and Paris,France. I traveled mostly with my grandparents. We went to Germany because my uncle was stationed there on base. My father is from Nigeria, so as a child my family and I traveled there for the rememberance of my grandfather whom passed. While in high school I attended dance and drama( known as Theatre Works) this was where every other week after school we would rehearse skits and plays to perform for the school and parents. My parents would ask me: "what do you want to be when you grow up and I had many different answers...choreographer,lawyer, a journalist, a poet, beautician as a side job. I really was confused.

On this home page, I'll introduce myself and talk about my reasons for wanting to go back to school and further my career.the chance of being able to utilize my medical training while you allowed me to gain more experience from your teachings by showing me how to be proficient in patient checks and follow-up protocols when parents of the patient called in about their sick child/children; call in prescriptions for patients per doctor's request; review for patients History_ Physicals(H&P); insured patients rooms were santitized and presentable in examination rooms for patients before and after visits; took proper vital signs for check-ups and given proper physical to your patients.

My most experimental part of the job was removing sutures and staples from the patients eye, hand, thigh or head (based upon injury location). I did not mind administering venipunctures or PKU's but I felt only sorry for the infants receiving the shots.

During the sick visits, I felt honored to be able to help the patients that had asthma or was short of breath(SOB) by administering breathing treatments and checking their pulse Ox. I was also glad that you trusted me to call patients in while you were out of the office and give throat cultures and fill out and send out labs for results without disturbing your day off or vacation time.

After all, my obstacles and bumpy roads I must say "You are responsible for my success" today. I now have a good and stable job at a major hospital in New Jersey... as a Nursing Assistant while enrolling in school majoring in Nursing after completing my prerequisites and furthering my education in the Nursing field to one day I can continue helping and caring for people as a Registered Nurse.

Now, I work at a major hospital as a Nursing Assistant. I just recently, started to attend school. Classes are Psychology;Sociology; Computer Science and Math. I never liked math and science eversince elementary school, however, in order for me to become a Nurse I have to complete some math and science courses. I learned not to let what my least interests are set my destiny.

I wanted to be a traveling nurse, but since I have children I would like to be able to set my own personal time for my children, family or myself and work on other days.
