Becoming A Nurse Personal Statement

I am currently a senior nursing student at Samuel Merritt University. I will be graduating and receiving a bachelor’s of nursing science degree in December of this year. After graduation, I hope to pursue a career in pediatric nursing, ideally via the Versant new graduate program at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto, California. I find so much joy in caring for children and providing support to their families, and I look forward to being able to make a difference in the lives of my patients throughout my nursing

Nursing is an extremely demanding but rewarding career within the medical sector. Child nursing is a unique position to make a difference to the lives of children and their families. Through experiences in life I learnt that I can make a difference in the lives of other people. As a healthcare professional, I will be able to communicate effectively with each individual in such a close and intimate way, that no other career can offer. I am passionate about healthcare and I am looking to pursue a career helping young children with illnesses. Nursing will open the gate to my aspirations. It is a career for dedicated, responsible, reliable people who are able to develop relationships with patients quickly. I have these skills and I am passionate

I want to become a Nurse educator to help shape the next generation of nurses through my efforts in creating quality educational experiences. Nurse educators are not valued enough for the amount of work they do but are an essential part of the educational system as they provide rising nurses with the knowledge that is essential in order to ultimately help save a person’s life. My goals as a Pediatric nurse is to obtain as much experience as I can through the hospital setting in order to teach as a Nurse Educator in Pediatrics through personal experience and to teach students to learn from any of my mistakes in my hopes for them to

I am passionate of becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. I got inspired to work in this field when I interned at hospitals such as the Veterans and at Community Regional Center in the children's clinic. I have always worked with children and like being part of their lives. Ever since I volunteered at Storey Elementary After school Program with kids on their homework, it assured me that working with children is what makes me happy. I want to impacts others lives positively. I am serious about my career path and I take every advantage to learn more about it. This was one of the reasons why I had taken part of the UCSF Doctors Academy program, because I wanted to learn more about the health profession and be exposed to it. Being part of the

I cannot attribute my desire of becoming a nurse to following the footsteps of a family member, nor caring for a sick family member as I was growing up. I am a first generation high school student, furthermore, a college graduate. I became a mother at the very young age of sixteen. Being so young and growing up without the care of my parents, it was always said I, too, would end up in a rough situation and not be able to care for my child being so young myself. I continued out my days and nights being a high school teen mom. I graduated from high school in three years by attending night school while I was pregnant; allowing me to finish school sooner and obtain a better job that would allow me to take care of my son.

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.

In the healthcare field, we are learning every day, and this makes us better equipped to serve our patients. I want to be able to grow in this facility and continue learning every day, and that is done through hard work and dedication. I’m a great team player and I want to be able to grow and help others grow as well. There is always room for me to grow as a person and I know I can do that by working together with others around me. During my clinical rotations at Texas Childern’s, I had the great privilege of working in a few different areas.

All my life I have wanted to make a difference in the world, to make my mark. I may not be able to do this on a worldly scale, but I can start by helping one person at a time. My plan for the future is not an easy one, but it is worth it. I intend on becoming a Registered Nurse to begin, then later going further and becoming a Practitioner Nurse. Hopefully with my plans, I can get there fairly quickly. I will be attending Western Oklahoma State College, starting off with my basics, which usually take about two years. Then go into the Nursing program that Western proffers, putting my Associates degree under my belt. I would like to start working as fast as I can in order to get all the debt I will have paid off so I can attend a Southwestern

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 goal is to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Trinity Washington University. After working in government and as a massage therapist, I realized that I have a calling in health care. In order to become a great nurse that provides optimal care, I need to be educated by the best institution. I am dedicated to putting in the time and effort to gain all of the knowledge Trinity Washington University can provide me, as I start my journey to the health care field.

I have always wanted to help others. Making a notable difference in individuals lives is extremely rewarding and something that resonates with me. It was not until a school trip- “Hand up For Health” which was provided by the NHS, that I gained an insight of nursing and seeing the practical element of nursing while using health & Biology as well and seeing how rewarding the job is. After doing further research and gaining work experience, I realised that child nursing is the profession I want to pursue.

Throughout my childhood and teens I have grown up watching shows such as causality and holby city which inspired me dramatically as it allowed me to gain more knowledge and understanding about a hospital environment. From then I knew I wanted to be a child nurse and I wanted it to be part of my everyday life. As soon as I started researching the role of a child nurse, I knew it was the perfect career for me as children’s nurse.

I am eager to pursue a career in which is challenging but rewarding, becoming a paediatric nurse would allow me to fulfil this aspiration. Nursing is a career for those who are reliable, empathetic, patient and know how to develop a connection with a patient emotionally as well as their family through difficult times. I have these skills and I truly want to make a difference in a patient's life. In the NHS, the role of a nurse is changing every day, as nurses are getting opportunities to become more involved in the responsibility of patients well-being and health and to become more specialised in different areas such as chemotherapy, surgery, clinical and much more. In studying for a degree in paediatric nursing I am inspired to make most of these opportunities to further my career.

In my high school years, I mainly volunteered with children and discovered that I genuinely enjoyed working with them. They have this unique and pure way of thinking and such compassionate hearts that one might lose as they grow older and I found that admirable. Working with kids in my free time has led to me deciding what career I wanted in the medical field— and that was becoming a

Although I have experience working with children in a health-related environment I am still relatively new to the role of a nurse and would require more practice and learning regarding paediatric nursing. I hope that the knowledge and skills that I have now, aid in my growth and development as I transfer them from other areas of my life into my work experiences.
