Undergraduate / Why do you want to change careers? Medical Research to Nursing [3]
When asked about changing careers normally I feel as though I am not changing. Considering my current work as a medical researcher it is evident that my career is slightly shifting paths and the focus is changing from research to a more clinical setting of medicine. Working at XXXX has given me a unique perspective of the medical field--our lab generates the ideas that eventually impact the treatment of patients. There are a number of fulfilling aspects to research. One is having your hardwork recognized in science publications.
My degree in biology and course such as Anatomy and phsiology help to understand the anatomy of the mouse. Genetics is necessary to perform lab techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reactions and Chemistry to calucate dilutions similiar to the pharmalogical applications in nursing. I've always felt compelled to work in a profession where I can make a difference in many people's live. Whether I am in a lab generating data to cure disease or saving live in a busy ER; I will be helping people in the same capacity but different formats.
After several years as a researcher and the manager of one of the largest animal facilities at XXXX, I am at a pinnacle point in my life where my deffered dream of being a nurse can materialize. I was raised in an environment in which healthcare was a part of everyday life.
