Have you ever been in a situation as a healthcare provider (nurse, doctor, therapist, etc.) where cultural understanding really impacted patient care? If yes, what did you learn from it?
I love my culture. Being Arab is a big part of my identity and something I love to share with others. Currently I am a senior in high school and the president of ASO, a safe space for students to learn more about Middle Eastern culture-whether they are Arab or not. ASO is one of the best choices I've made, and I have changed significantly with the creation of it. I am able to share my traditions, customs, and my favorite Arab singers, songs, games, with others too! I was able to create an inclusive club that supports the Arab students at my high school. Tying to supporting, I'm hoping to become a nurse in the future. This has been my passion for many years now as I see how they are one of the foundations of health care with how hard they work and dedicated they are. But one question I ask myself is: How can I tie both my culture and my future job (hopefully) together? This is why I am asking this question. I want to know if anyone in the healthcare industry has every experienced a moment where sharing their culture, representing it, or just bringing it up in general, made an impact on a patient or another healthcare provider. I hope with everyone's help and comments, I may answer my question. :) Thank you for reading!
What has your career done to help change your life for good? For the worse?
This is what I believe is crucial when choosing a career. Doing a job that pays a lot that you hate might not be as good as doing a job you love with lesser pay, and the way your career affects your life is a huge element to your overall drive and mindset. #career-choice #career-path #experience #public-relations #decision-making #emotional #interactions #observational
