Working as a pharmacist has always been my dream, more than any other avenue of health care work. I decided to pursue a career in pharmacy in earnest shortly after I began attending community college. Especially after I found work at a local pharmacy, my desire to work in this industry increased. I had only worked at the store for a few weeks and I had already taken note of a number of procedures related to the pharmaceutical business that aren't taught in the classroom. For example, I picked up on the level of care and personal interaction required between pharmacist and customer, as well as the distinct relationships between the pharmacy, the customer, the physicians, and the insurance agencies. Pharmaceuticals are a booming business, one in which I know I will thrive professionally. Yet it is also a health care industry, one that combines clinical work with patient interaction. For these very reasons I am drawn to the pharmaceutical sciences.
Synthesizing laboratory empiricism and personal care is the unique domain of pharmaceutical science, my primary field of interest and one which I intend to delve into while a student at the University of Washington. Already I have demonstrated determination and focus in the pursuit of my future career. My academic coursework and professional and volunteer positions have all related to pharmaceuticals and health care. I am applying to the University of Washington PharmD Program because of the unique affiliations with other UW schools, affiliations that will enable me to better hone my talents and develop areas of specialization as I familiarize myself with the field. I look forward to studying with the esteemed faculty at the university, networking with them as well as with my fellow students.
While in the PharmD program I also hope to take advantage of the many resources and opportunities for internships that the University of Washington offers. I feel that the UW program suits my needs as an aspiring pharmacist and I also feel that I will fit in well on campus because I am an affable, open-minded, caring, and flexible individual who thrives in a diverse and challenging environment. Thank you for your consideration.
Reflection A reflection on the case shows me that ethical and moral guidelines must be instilled in pharmacy as a profession. It is therefore necessary for the pharmacies to collaborate with other key stakeholders in ensuring that proper guidelines are put in place together with polices aimed at ensuring an ethical and moral pharmaceutical practice. Case Resolution Model (CRM) (Brincat & Wike,1999) is therefore an important model since it has taken

Nurses The nursing profession has always attempted to put forward a positive, clean and healthful image. Throughout history the nursing industry has tried to portray nurses as angels of mercy, and as ethically upstanding, helpful healthcare professionals, just a few steps down from doctors in terms of medical needs. But lately the images of nurses has changed and not always for the best. This paper critiques the images of nurses
Jamil, who had supported me financially and emotionally during these tough times, persuaded me to continue my studies when I felt ready.
