Adult Nursing Personal Statement

My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

After I finished my college I was involved in various jobs ranging from shop assistant to owning my business, however I never experienced total contentment and job satisfaction, therefore I decided to find something which is fulfilling, so I started searching for paid and volunteering positions in care homes, furthermore in year 2000 I resigned my job in marketing and joined a local nursing home as a health care assistant. Where I supported clients with various health care needs and assisted registered nurses to provide a high quality of patient-centered care, my duties included, washing and dressing, feeding, helping clients to mobilize, toileting, bed making, monitoring patients ' condition by taking temperatures, pulse, respiration and weight and generally helping with patients ' overall comfort.

In the corner of the small hospital room stood a shy little girl. “You shouldn't be in here, honey”, my mother said as she nudged me out of the room where my grandfather lay dying. At the time, I couldn't understand the enormity of the situation. Ignorant to what was happening around me, my innocent mind fled with curiosity. The beeping of the machines and the soft quick steps of nurses captivated my attention. I was fascinated with this strange new world. This is the moment that sparked my desire to become someone great; a nurse.

I have had the distinct privilege and honor of practicing the art of nursing since 2000. Throughout this time, I have seen the profession evolve through technology, practice and theory. With the recent and constant change created by the healthcare reform, today’s nurse must realize that learning is a lifelong process that does not end upon graduation. The nurse is never done learning, especially as technology and medical knowledge are constantly evolving. My most recent endeavor has been the pursuit of my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing at Western Carolina University. This education has broadened my mind to the opportunities nursing has to offer and has enriched my personal and professional goals.

As nurses we all bring our own values and beliefs to the job whether or not we intend to, it happens. I place large amounts of value on family and friends. These are the people you can call on for support. I know that without the support of my mom helping me with my kids and my house work there is no way I could be in the nursing program. Family is often a place when as children we learn and develop our values and beliefs. Giving this deeper thought I can see how this is true for myself. When working with B I would often think about what it would be like to be raised in an unstable environment by a mother who struggles with mental health and addictions. B was often placed in respite foster homes. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to sit down to meal with a strange family how awkward would he have felt. Building on this making connections with people is very important to me. Once I was able to build a connection with B I was able to work with him in a more cohesive way. Making that convection helps to build trust, positive relationships are built on trust. Being a good listener is a skill that I value as a nurse. Not only do I value being a good listener but I also value being heard. I value you a person 's ability to do what they say they are going to do. If you tell a patient that you will return to check in with them in 30 minutes than you need to be sure that you keep your word. When working with clients it is import to me to build on

The discovery of the absence or presence of a disease impacts the lives of patients. As a patient dealing with my own health struggles I see the crucial role a CLS plays in the discovery of a disease. CLS do not personally interact with patients, but they perform tests to diagnose the disease and provide the vital data of the disease, which helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient. Without CLS diseases can be misdiagnosed, especially when they are based on symptoms. Many diseases share the same symptoms. As a result, diseases may be misdiagnosed and the treatment plan for the patient may be incorrect. This leads to stress for the patient and money wasted. The crucial role of a CLS in the diagnosis of a disease is one of

5 years ago I went to London to visit my grandfather who was terminally ill. Even though he passed away 1 year after but he was lucky enough to have the best quality of care within the time being. For as long as I can remember I have always appreciated how nurses take care of each individual. Nursing is a profession I have always looked upon with respect.

I am highly aware of the fact that Adult nursing is a demanding profession that requires much more dedication and commitment than just a deep rooted aspiration to care for people if they were to succeed in carrying out their duties professionally and competently. Although, driven by a desire to help those with medical conditions is undoubtedly one of my defining attributes. Being very close to my uncle from a young age, I spent hours sitting at a hospital bedside with my mother to see him battling a long term illness. During this period, I watched the Nurses who cared and supported him intensively which grew my admiration towards their role. In addition, my responsive compassionate nature was reinforced more from a young age when I took the

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

She provided research for 50 years providing the framework for adult nursing. Nancy always new from a young age nursing was something she wanted to do.

As said before she did not like going from ward to ward learning and getting the so called experience, she felt that going to difference wards was more of a commodity rather then a learning experience. She then decided to come up with something that every patient needed in their care no matter what was their

I believe that nursing is both and art and a science consisting of psychosocial and biological sciences that work together to continually improve the health care field. I believe that with the knowledge and clinical experience from the TVCC ADN program I will be able to provide the best care possible to the people in the community. As a nurse it is important to carry the attributes of being caring, compassionate, understanding, non judgmental, realistic, open-minded, honest, ethical, and moral. I also feel that it is important to maintain sensitivity to all cultures when providing care.

Adult nursing is a lifelong learning career which I have been drawn to since I was young. My mum is a registered nurse and I’ve always admired what she’s done. I would like to apply for this course as I want to help, not only emotionally but medically. I think that these two approaches have to go hand in hand when dealing with patients in care. It is an extremely challenging and demanding career that can be rewarding and satisfying. I am very attracted to the profession as I’ve always had an interest in caring for people and be keen on the thought of working in a large hospital environment where I can be involved in the hands on medical treatment of patients. Working in a large hospital promises a stimulating work environment and there are
