by Cindy Arthur -

There is actually a very personal for the reason I have choose the Nursing field.  My 38 year old daughter passed away last December by a accidental overdose.  She was a Cardiac Nurse and was wonderful.   I am currently working at an inpatient Detox center. I came out of retirement to work with patients in mental health or Addiction crisis.  If I could say or help one patient then my work will be done.  That's why I am seeking an Nursing degree in Addition.

Career Inspiration

by Cody Butler -

Hello everyone,

The person who inspired me to pursue my chosen career field is my high school science teacher. She encouraged me to ask questions, think critically, and understand how people behave and interact in different situations. Her passion for helping students and explaining complex ideas in ways that were easy to understand sparked my interest in psychology.

Seeing how she applied her knowledge to guide students and solve problems inspired me to want to make a positive impact on others’ lives through my career. I hope to follow in her footsteps by helping people, understanding behavior, and contributing to the well-being of my community.

Thanks,
Cody Alan Butler

I am inspired to work toward owning my own business because I want the freedom to create something of my own. Being a business owner would allow me to make my own decisions, set my own goals, and build something that reflects my ideas and hard work. I am also motivated by successful entrepreneurs who started with small ideas and turned them into successful businesses through determination and effort. Their stories show that with dedication and smart choices, it is possible to achieve success. Owning my own business would give me the opportunity to grow, help others through jobs or services, and take pride in what I have built.

I've always wanted to work in healthcare and believed it to be a preference. However, since I've grown in my faith, God has revealed to me that it's actually a calling. I am glad that I received this revelation before pursuing my goal in becoming a nurse because now I have a solid foundation to build on. There is always a difference in healthcare between the people who do it for money versus those who do it because they truly feel called to it.

What inspired me to work in the career that I've chosen is experience in life. While growing up, I found myself surrounded by people with different skills and talent. That motivated me to learn more about myself. I've been through lots of different environments, the good and the bad. I've learned that in life you have to be strong, brave, motivated, lots of confidence, loyal, honest, self encourage and a will to help others. Learning to find what works best for me is Art, cooking, a leader and role model for children. I've learned how to do all of these things while growing up, which inspired me to choose Business and Early childhood education. Working with children, teaching them a lot of things that I've learned so they can have a solid foundation and a bright future.

Who and what inspired my work in chosen career field?

by Tamika Barnes -

My inspiration to become a Registered Nurse came from my mother. She was a single mom who raised seven children on her own, and watching her strength, resilience, and compassion had a profound impact on me. Despite all the challenges she faced, she always found a way to take care of us, and she did it with love and determination. Her example showed me what it means to care for others selflessly, even in the toughest circumstances. Three years ago, we had to watch my brother suffer with stage 4 lung cancer. That too was another reason for my career decision. Becoming a nurse allows me to carry on that legacy of caring and allow me to be there to comfort family in need. I’ve seen how powerful compassion can be, not only in a family but also in a healthcare setting. My mother inspired me to use that same spirit to help others heal, to be a source of support during difficult times, and to create a better future for my own family through hard work and service.

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to dive into this discussion with you all. This week's readings on the impact of social media on mental health have been particularly insightful for me. I was especially struck by the section that discussed "doomscrolling" and how it can contribute to anxiety and stress. It really made me reflect on my own habits and how easy it is to fall into that cycle.

I'm looking forward to reading your perspectives and will be sure to rate them as we go. Let's make this a great discussion!
