I have gained confidence with my mentorship at Guilford Immediate Care. I know now that the dream job that I want is in healthcare. I have gained the confidence to know what I am good at in the healthcare field. There are some things in healthcare that I will have to practice in order to get better. I also learned that getting adapted to the health care is difficult, but by getting a real world experience it helped me know the career that's right for me.
Sometimes I was allowed to scan documents in the computer, and helped with vital signs. There were other times that by just going in a room was a patient was enough to learn something new. I also learned to look up medicines and know some of the most common doses that are given. There were times that I didn't understand things, and would ask about different procedures. There were some nurses that guided me through every step during a treatment. Also some patients that allowed me to go into room while having a procedure done on them.
This mentorship has helped me prepared for the future by giving me the insight of the career that I want to pursued. I know now more than ever that nursing is the healthcare field that I want to work in. The mentorship gave me the opportunity to see different aspects of nursing that need to be seen in real life rather than reading about them.
I want to be a nurse more than ever. I now know that nursing is the career that I would be best at. Nursing is a very competitive field, but I know that I can do it. I am going to be a great nurse because I will enjoy everything about it.
I would recommended the Honors Mentorship Program for anyone who wants to explore a career. I know that reading about a career isn’t enough to determine that is your dream job. HMP made me realize how important it is to more about the career of your dreams. Many students make the mistake of hating a job after finishing college. I am now more confident that nursing is the right career for me.
