Informational Interview Experience

Throughout the informational interview, I learned that there are so many interested things in the medical field that may eventually cause some type of temptation into wanting to try out new things and find out what do they really consist of. I interviewed a neighbor of mine named Lashanta and she is a registered nurse but as she was beginning to get into her job, she says she felt the need to explore different things just to make sure what she wanted to do. She loves what she does now and it’s because of all the experience she has had on the way to where she stands now. She explains that at first she started off knowing she would want to be in the medical field but didn’t know what exactly. She went to Long Island University and says it was very competitive and included a lot of hard work and dedication in achieving her goal. Throughout her school years, she did intern and sometimes would even sit there and watch how things were being done.

In this interview, I also learned that one must be very dedicated to their work, pay close attention and be very careful. One also has to have certain qualities like be people friendly, warm, charming and basically, try to make their patient feel as comfortable as possible. If one is completely sure about what they really like and want to do, the books to getting to such place is considered your new best friend. However, if it’s the right thing for you and what you enjoy, there wouldn’t be that much of a problem, you would just need to do a lot of planning and know how to schedule all the activities you may have in life. I also learned that taking clinical practice is really great because once you’re actually in the field; it would be a lot easier for you. I’ve learned that the education one withholds in preparation for their career is very important along with different opportunities one may run up against and achieve like having an internship and actually completing will possibly make a person’s life and job a lot easier as well because of the knowledge they gain and sometimes they can even use it to their advantage as an experience. With any job, when someone first starts off it’s a learning experience for the most part, but if it’s something that is of interest to you it is even better. Overall, I’ve learned that anything one is really interested in doing can be done; one just needs to be very sure and responsible and dedicated and it will get done.

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2. Motivation: When you wake up everyday, look at the...
