My name is Josselyne and I want to be become a nurse someday. I am mentoring with a program at my school. My dream career is to be a nurse to help people. The idea of being a nurse came from having the feeling of helping someone. Everyone has a health that they need to take care.  Most people know how to treat basic health issues, but sometimes people need professional help. I chose this profession to be able to be looked up to. I don’t want a career that will not bring benefit to me only. I want a career that will help people in general.

 

I am mentoring at the Guildford Clinic. I have about 6 or more mentors. They all have different schedules because of their personal needs. I sometimes go once or twice a week because of my school schedule. The people that work there help me understand the basic things to know. There is a great amount of information needed to know, but I am learning slowly. I am always asking questions about the things that they have, and why they do certain things. I always go inside the clinic and go to the nurse’s station.  That is where I spend most of the time observing the employees. When patients come in the clinic, I get to help with taking their vital signs. I take their temperature and pulse rate.  I also get to listen to the patients symptoms and concerns. There are times when I am lucky and get to hear the diagnosis from the doctor.

 

I plan to apply to the mentorship program, and mentor again. I want to keep learning from my career. I am reaching my goals by actually getting the full experience of  my career. I am actually seeing my career for a couple of hours. The thing that is helping me is that this is a small ER and a regular clinic. I am getting two experiences in one.
