Career

By Ezekiel Rosalva

About Myself
My name is Ezekiel Jonathan Rosalva. I am a

senior at treasure coast and also a student

athlete. I am 18 years old and I was born on
October 3 1996 in Orange, New Jersey. On my
free time I like to spend time with my
girlfriend and play football.

Plans For My Career

I plan on becoming a Registered Nurse and later on becoming a

Physician Assistant.
If I dont get any offers by the end of the school year I plan on
attending a community college such as IRSC or Valencia for 2
years then transferring to a university with a great medical
program.
Most applicants to physician assistant education programs
already have a bachelors degree and some healthcare-related
work experience. So ill be in school for about
I must take courses in anatomy, physiology, microbiology,
chemistry, nutrition, psychology and other social and
behavioral sciences, as well as in liberal arts.
I want to get accepted into a BSN program which takes 4 years
to complete.

Negatives and Positives

There are many benefits to choosing a nurse
career.Nurses are able to choose their own
specialty, working in the field of nursing or
medicine that suits them best.
The disadvantage for me is I hate long hours.
Many nurses are required to work well beyond
their scheduled shifts, and are often required to
work more than forty hours a week. When there
are nursing shortages, nurses may work very long
hours and may work these long hours many days
a week.

Concerns of getting my
career.
My concern is all the book work and the study

time I have to put in for this career. I'm going

to have to sacrifice a lot of time a dedication.
Most concern is really the cost of all this.
Thats why I must stay focus or all the money
will go to waste
