...Confidence, control, and cooperation; these characteristics is what I hope to fully embody in the future. As I step into the operating room, the adrenaline rushes through my veins. A sense of accomplishment and success light up the room; this is why I want to be a surgeon. Thinking about how the human body functions has always been fascinating and as a young hispanic girl I started to view the world around me a little differently.

...Ethics in Healthcare December 16, 2014 Professor Russell Arenz Leadership Development Plan Career goals are something that have become very important to me over the past few years. As I have gotten older, I have realized you have to really work hard to get anywhere in life and that nothing comes easy. This day and time you really have to have a degree to get a good paying job and to really succeed. When it comes to my short term career goals, I have a great job at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. I am currently an Administrative Assistant II for Vanderbilt’s Diabetes, Rheumatology, and Endocrinology Department. I took this position to get my foot in the door with Vanderbilt and there is plenty of room for advancement within the department and within Vanderbilt. I really love my job, however it is not the position I want to stay in forever. I have thought a lot about what I want long term in a career and I have not come to a final decision, but I do know that one day I would like to manage my own department. I realize that with this goal in mind, I am going to have to work extra hard to show people that I am a hard worker that is very capable of being a leader. I already have leadership under my belt being an Assistant Manager of a finance office and I loved being a leader, but our branch was closed due to a buyout. Anyway, back to my career in Healthcare, I have also thought about getting my nursing degree because I love being able to...

...Financing of Health Care Medical Care for an Aging Population Countries around the world are encountering a growing number of the elder demographic. The aging population has created situations that the world’s economy and health care that have never encountered. The elders leaving the workforce and entering retirement has created new challenges in an already fragile global economy and health care system, and it is uncertain what the impact will in America. Questions rose about how the aging population will affect the economy. Will these changes bring new opportunities for the aging population because of the healthier life style and longer life expectancies currently seen today? Will physically and mentally healthier seniors be able to manage longer working years? Alternatively, will it result in a shortage of worker in the workforce leaving an overwhelming burden on the younger population? This paper summarizes three articles that attempt to bring to light the various challenges the nation is encountering in its preparation to care for the aging population. Additionally it will provide the readers with some recommendations on strategies both the American industries and government can use to prepare for the loss of a large percentage of the workforce who will start retiring in the next decade. The burden of geriatric health issues While countries across the globe are scrambling to make the necessary preparation to accommodate medical care for the aging population...

...RESUMES WHAT IS A RESUME? A resume is a custom designed, written summary of your background. It provides a thumbnail sketch of your education, experience, and qualifications to a prospective employer. An effective resume targets a specific type of position and relates your skills and experience to that position. WHO WRITES A RESUME? A resume is written by anyone seeking employment, both part-time and full-time. Although there are companies that provide resume-writing services, the most effective resumes are written by the job seeker--after all, who else knows you, your qualifications, and your experiences better--someone you just met, or you? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A RESUME? A good resume (in combination with a cover letter) will provide you with an interview. The employer will select applicants on the basis of how well their skills match up with the job requirements. Sometimes, the difference between getting an interview and being placed in the “no” pile is a well put-together resume. GENERAL RESUME GUIDELINES: Length: • A one-page resume works for the recent graduate. If you have extensive work history, two pages are reasonable. Remember to limit pertinent to what is important to the current job objective. Appearance: • Developing a well organized, readable layout determines if it gets read! Direct the reader’s eyes to the format. • Avoid dense text appearance, which is difficult to read. • Use high-quality white or off-white paper--stay conservative...
