The careers that I best fit into are healthcare risk management manager and informatics nurse. The role of a healthcare risk manager suits me because I have a strong comprehension of health processes and policies that help to reduce liabilities and risk. I love the role since it will enable me to organize and implement training to ensure patient care and safety process are understood and met. The job will give me a proactive role in the healthcare system in the quest to help people. The job will help me have a meaningful impact in people’s lives. I am also interested in the role since part of it requires one to field the concerns from patients about their care and enable the institution to comply with federal and state requirements (Rubbio, Bruccoleri, & Perrone, 2016).
