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

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.

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.

It is said that the environment of our upbringing plays a salient role in determining the ambitions we pursue, the moral values we cherish and ultimately, the lasting contributions we make to society. I firmly believe that my formative experiences laid down the foundation for passion for nursing and constitute one of the salient reasons why I am determined to pursue this profession. For me nursing, is more than a mere vocation, it is a moral commitment, the manifestation of my natural talents and the actualization of the deep-seated aspirations that I have nourished since childhood. My mother was an accomplished nurse and always set a remarkable example for me to follow by displaying virtues of compassion, moral courage and dedication to the public good. My life experiences compelled me to emulate her example by cultivating the virtues of compassion and genuine sensitivity to patients. My formative experiences and core values led me to enter this career in the capacity of a Certified Nursing Assistant where I was distinguished for not only my competence as a nurse assistant, but also for my remarkable sensitivity to the needs of the patients. I intend to continue to actualize my natural talents by pursuing a career in Nursing.

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.

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

As a young man coming out of high school, like the majority of people at that

My decision to pursue a career in nursing began in 1981, while I was living in Peru. I was accepted into the Medical School of National San Marcos University. This program taught me the basics in medicine and patient care. I attended this University for almost eight years, nearly completing my studies. Peru 's government structure had changed dramatically, causing a decline in entire country's finances, and I found it necessary to find a full-time job immediately to help support my family. I accepted a job as a legislative secretary to the National Congress of Peru, working for several congressmen for over nine years. In 1996, I moved to the United States and continued my studies as a Surgical Care Assistant at Memorial Hospital in Colorado

During this week I identify my future plans on continuing my education to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, I am researching about the programs in different universities and I will be selecting the appropriated program for me. I thought about all the changes in my life since I started nursing school in 2012, I thought about all my mistakes during my first year as a new nurse and how much I have learn in this time. Now, I am thinking on all the new knowledge and skills that I will acquired when I become a Nurse Practitioner and I feel a little scare but excited at the same time. I had the same feeling when I receive my letter of acceptance for nursing school, and also for the RN to BSN program. As I am finishing this program, I feel more prepare

Prior to my sophomore year I was honestly clueless of what I wanted to do, but as soon as I discovered that I wanted a career in the medical field I intended to do anything I could that would help me achieve my goal that is to first become a Registered Nurse. I took more vigorous classes, classes that would help my career, as well as by doing running start.

It’s “Career Day” at my school and all of my fellow classmates want to hear about a job that interests me and why, so here I go. A job that interests me would be to be work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as a Registered Nurse. It interests me because I could always make a difference, the work environment is fast paced and always busy, and the salary is pretty good too.

My mother had deep vein thrombosis. When she was first diagnosed, I had little understanding of her illness. My mom has been suffering with poor circulation in both of her legs for decades. This condition makes it difficult for her to ambulate on a daily basis. I watched her health decrease until she could not bathe or use the toilet by herself. As her only source of help, I had to be her hands and feet. While attending to her she was confined to a wheel chair .I had to assist her to get her around and to take her medications. Caring for my mother made me realized that I wanted to become a nurse the desire to become a nurse grew stronger as I watched my mother suffer. I learned various skills, and I have also acquired knowledge that I believe is relevant to my field of studies.

I will explain why I have chosen the path of teaching, besides the obvious love that I have for children. I started my career out in nursing before I had children of my own. I have been a stay-at-home mom for almost 10 years; my son is 13 and my daughter is 9. I just turned 40 and I've reached a point in life that I am ready to get back into the working field. I have so many people ask me why I am not going back into nursing. I loved caring for the sick, as well as being involved with the families throughout the entire patient care process. I could never and would never be a pediatric nurse of any kind. I love kids too much. That's something that takes a special person and that's just not me. Over the last 2-3 years, I have worked

My first job was working in a long term- care facility, as a dietary aid. That position allowed me to interact with the residents, especially during meal times. The residents definitely influenced my decision to work in health care. For years I worked as a nursing assistant and then as physical therapist assistant in a rehabilitation facility. I enjoyed my work, however after my divorce I decided to go back to school to further my career. Since I wanted to continue working closely with the residents I decided to look into RN programs. That being said, careers in nursing are always in demand and the salary is good. At this point in my life stability is
