Hobbies/ Leisure

How my personal activities help me grow as a nurse

As I have stated in my "about me" page, I greatly value self-care and mental health. Personal activities, such as Taekwondo and playing the flute are forms of exercise that allow me to destress. Another destressing activity for me is spending time with my dog. Whenever I go take my dog, Ahsoka, on a walk, I feel rejuvenated and happier. Having these hobbies and practicing my skills also allow me to better focus on my health and my wellbeing so that I can provide my clients better care. In addition, drawing and putting on makeup are also forms of destressing for me. By making my mental and physical health a priority, I am able to limit my anxiety, stress, and burnout.

Professional Goals

My professional goal is to become a competent nurse that is highly specialized in my field. When I was in middle school, my mother had a huge accident on the freeway. Her car railed off the highway and flipped around 8 times. She was carried to the hospital by amazing flight nurses and flight paramedics, and eventually made a full recovery. Her head was split open and we were told if she came just a minute later, she may have been brain dead. My dream is to become a flight nurse or a critical care nurse who saves people's lives and makes a difference in someone's world.

Before I became a nurse, I was a CNA and a medical receptionist. I was also a certified lash technician. However, because of my unavailability and the rise of COVID-19, I have stopped taking clients altogether. In May 2021, I took a risk and started my own small cosmetic business. Today, that business no longer operates so that I can focus on my nursing career.

I believe that these professional activities helped me in the future as a nurse because they all build my character and experience. Working as a CNA in a skilled/ rehabilitative facility allows me to practice and reinforced skills that we learn as a nurse, such as the first five, final four, hand hygiene, transferring, bathing, etc. Being a medical receptionist forced me to deal with different as well as difficult situations, and allowed me to step outside the box and mediate the the situation. This helped me with my leadership as well as my inter-professional communication skills by allowing me to communicate with both the medical staff and the administrative/ management staff. Being a lash technician allowed me to me to practice therapeutic methods of communication with all sorts of clients as each session takes about 1-2 hours with the client.
