A Personal Statement Of Purpose To Become A Nurse

Choosing a major has been one of the most difficult challenges I have faced as a student. While many students select their major based upon statistics and ideals, I base my decision primary on my strong commitment and my passion. Furthermore, I have learned that a major should encompass your love, talents, and desire for success in that subject. Forensic Chemistry wasn’t my first choice. When I first came to Grambling State University my major was nursing. I wanted to be a nurse ever since I was little, my mother is a nurse so I been around that environment all my life. My plan was to graduate from Grambling State University with a Bachelor degree in nursing. Then go to a community college to get my certification in forensic science to become

“What do I want to be” was never a question I pondered too deeply. The sudden death of my father to an unknown health condition and 5months thereafter, the tragic loss of my mother helped fostered a caring and compassionate spirit often alluded by many in describing my personality. I suppose this translated to why I find it easy and satisfying to help and serve others, most especially those in a medically vulnerable state. Thus, choosing a healthcare professional, specifically nursing was a natural fit for me. The ability to be able to care for patients and bring about a meaningful change in their life serves as an outlet for me. It makes me confident to think I could have nursed my parents back to good health if I was an adult or was in this career when they were sick. However, as a ten years old living in a developing nation with inadequate accessibility to healthcare services, I was limited in what I could have done. Today, however the story is different. My story is now defined by what I am doing and what I hope to do to better save and impact lives.

The nursing field gives a person the opportunity to work with and care for elderly, sick, and injured patients. I want to join the registered nurse team because they take on multiple medical settings. Registered nurses are known as RNs. They are responsible for multiple things. Being a RN has a lot of responsibility. The topics I will be covering are: job description, specialties, trends, salary, benefits, and required trainings. These are essential things that a person needs to know before going into nursing school.

Your choices will affect you throughout your life, whether it is a big or small decision. For example, it could be something simple like eating fast food for the third time this week or it could be important like going to an interview for a new job position. When you are young, you change your mind every chance you get. This might be why deciding what job you want for the rest of your life is difficult. Currently, 1. I want to be a RN, which is a registered nurse. Registered nurses do a lot to help their community and the people in it. With this job, I would be able to give back to the community by helping people. This makes me feel like I would be a better person.

My lifetime goal is to become a Registered Nurse since I was 18 years old, but, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to go college, but to go to a technical school and get a medical assistant degree. Since then, I worked in many different doctors’ office in Florida as a Medical Assistant until 2 years ago when I met my husband and moved to Maryland. Luckily, with my husband's support, I have been having the opportunity to go back to school and continue my education.

In the near future, I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree from East Carolina University. Guiding my ultimate nursing goals is my love for children. As a mother already, I have learned and immensely enjoyed my journey with my six-year-old child thus far. However, I would love to expand my knowledge on the unique needs of the pediatric patient population. The pediatric patient population is very diverse, due to the various stages of life within this populace. In the near future, I hope to expand my understanding and experience with pediatric patients through becoming a registered nurse on a pediatric nursing unit within a hospital. However within ten years, my goal is to become a school nurse. This being said, there is an extensive field of knowledge and training I will need to gain in order to achieve my ultimate nursing goal of serving all children in their medical and developmental needs.

I am writing to express my sincere interest in applying for a Doctor of Nursing Practice at your university. My studies and career in the field of nursing involve learning and caring for the health and wellbeing of pediatric patients and their families. I‘ve been able to draw from a wealth of academic areas, including advance practice nursing, advance pharmacology, advance health assessment, critical care pediatric nursing, health management and health promotion. Among these areas of study, my interest in bedside nursing practice has attracted me into pursuing in the field of advance nursing practice. As I continue my nursing career, I came to a realization that in order to make changes in the

As a thirty six year old adult my focus has shifted towards my career aspirations over

I’m going to go to community college to get my associates degree in nursing chose nursing because I love to take care of people and to be around them I want to become an Rn at Kaiser Hospital because they are a big company and a lot of people go there to get taken care of. I mainly love kids that’s why I’m doing it.

I have taken college classes for the past four years, at multiple universities. College has always been important to me, but it became even more important in the spring of 2015. I became a mother to a beautiful baby girl on April 22nd of 2015. The birth of my daughter will influence my academic work and goals in many ways. I have always had goals of finishing school and getting my college degree. I went back and forth in deciding what I wanted my major to be and finally decided on nursing. I had set my goals of becoming a nurse before I had my daughter. Now my goals are even more important to me, and I have an even bigger reason to focus on my academic work and goals of becoming a nurse. It is now, more than ever, important that I complete

I want to be a nurse because I want to help people that are hurt sick or could die. I also want to be a nurse because it seems like a good job and not for the money either my mom was a nurse and i want to be like her because she is a good person and I respect her and I also would like to be a nurse because I could help lots of people and I could meet new people everyday.

“There is no human that ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail, recover, and improve, the better you are as a person.” This quote, by Chris Hardwick, helped drive my motivation to succeed despite failing multiple times. During the summer of 2015, I completed the Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Excited to begin a new chapter in my life, I submitted numerous applications to employers that were actively hiring. Unaware of the meaning of my status as a newly graduated individual on the market, I applied for mid-level manager positions with very little work experience. During this time, I had just one year of health care experience from working at Walgreen’s Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and Baptist Health Systems as a Patient Access

Over the last year I have spent numerous nights in the hospital due to a medical condition I had. During my time spent in the hospital I have had countless good and bad experiences with the nursing staff. Due to my experiences, I was able to come to the conclusion that I not only want to be a nurse but also what kind of a nurse I would like to become. With that decision made, I started looking into going back to school, and finally settled on Colorado Christian University as my school of choice. My experiences over the past year have created a strong urge to not only finish school, but also to give my very best in every class I take. From a young age I knew I wanted to go into the nursing field. Unfortunately, one situation after another seemed

I've wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a little girl. My stuffed animals, and my poor dog, would always have "injuries" that needed tending to. A band-aid here or some gauze there. After I graduated high school, I got married and then got pregnant so college got shoved aside. A few years later, after divorcing, I remarried and decided I would go to school. Well, I tried two times and ended up pregnant each time, so I waited. Finally, third times the charm, I got into a LPN class. Halfway through I found out I was pregnant again. I was determined to finish and become a nurse. I did it! I graduated in December and had my fourth child in January. Time to go to work! I went to work at a residential living center for people with disabilities.
