Becoming A Nurse Scholarship

Completing my bachelor’s degree in Nursing has been a personal goal of mine since I graduated with my associate’s degree in nursing. Having my BSN degree is essential for my career and personal development. Initially after graduating with my ASN, I enrolled in a BSN program and started my first class, when life happened. I was a single mother raising my 5 year old daughter, working the night shifts at Miami Children’s Hospital. I was dating my now husband and became pregnant with my second child. I ended up having to quit my job as a pediatric nurse which was my goal, to be a pediatric nurse, get my BSN and climb the ladder there. After the birth of my daughter my personal goals changed, and my academic and career goals were put on hold.

After high school, my plan is to go to college majoring in nursing. While I am in the nursing program, I will intern for a hospital or a doctor’s office for more hands on experience. Following my RN degree, I plan to pursue my goal of continuing my education and becoming a nurse practitioner. I intend to work at a doctor’s office or a hospital as a RN while going to school to help pay off my loans and be able to be financially stable without needing my mother’s help. MY long term goal is to be a Nurse Practitioner specializing in Women Health. I have a desire to treat and educate those in need of medical

I am proud of getting into UW-Madison. All my life I want to do to UW-Madison to become a nurse. I join the PEOPLE Program, so that I can have people who help me get into UW-Madison. I took class that will make me a strong candidate for admission. Even when I have a melt down last year because of how close I was to getting my dream and yet I feel like I will never make it. Causing my grade to drop, but not giving up. I am retaking the class to get my grade better and to be ready for the advance placement test.

Have you ever pondered becoming a doctor but did not want to deal with the outrageous amount of schooling? Well, if you have, then becoming a nurse practitioner might be a good choice for you. First thing you should know is that there are several branches of Advanced Practice Registered Nursing. According to Nurse Journal, they are, “Certified Nurse Practitioner, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Clinical Nurse Specialists (“Requirements to Become A Nurse Practitioner”). Now that you know what branches there are, you have to know what a nurse practitioner does. Nurse practitioners perform a series of different things ranging from working with patients to assisting doctors. They also conduct research and studies

My academic goals include passing all of my prerequisites classes for nursing with an A. Gaining enough knowledge to be an expert in a nursing field. Then, I plan on applying into the nursing program at Valencia. I have chosen to get my Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) over accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) simply for the cost aspect, it is much cheaper. Choosing to get my BSN first would put me in tons of debt. The cost of school is very expensive and I do not want to go into debt for my education. So, if I get an Associate’s Degree and become an RN most hospitals offer tuition reimbursement. They have a program where they will pay for you to go back to school because it makes them look like a better hospital. It kind of helps everyone get further into school and it

I believe I am a great candidate for this scholarship because of my qualifications. I am a people person who puts others first. My passion is helping people, especially those who are vulnerable and in need. Therefore, I chose nursing as a career because it coincides with my passion. In the past few years I have gained strong communication skills that have helped me become a better person. I am always advocating for my patients and making sure that their needs and wants are priority over all things. With my communication skills I am able to collaborate with nurses, doctors, and other members of my patients care team to make sure they get the best care possible.

A Nurse (RN/BSN) is a health care professional who always taking cares for sick people, disabled individuals including children, their families, their communities while make sure that these people attain and continue to maintain the best health and functioning possible. RNs direct patient care per Physician modalities. RNs also administer and manage medication for the sick and needy population including patient and family education, basic assessments of care needs. RNs must also stay up to date with new technology and tools. These skills help nurses provide the best care to patients and families and the best support to doctors and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of their patient. Some nurses may also eventually attain a

I am pursuing a career in Nursing at Northwest Iowa Community College. After, I am going to transfer to a four year college to obtain my BSN. Then, I plan to receive my masters in Nursing and become a Nurse Practitioner.

A career is more than a choice. It is more than a decision about the best suitable job for an individual. I define a career as a processed, determined belief in one’s ability to commit to a lifestyle they are passionate about. Nursing is a commitment I have made upon my life to serve and enhance the needs of those around me. From my freshmen year at college to completing my first degree in Public Health at Rutgers, I knew I would continue my education to eventually obtain my DNP because my passion has always been to share my heart and skills in the act of serving as a nurse because it is a selfless, humbling career.

If I had lived in the early 1900s, my life would have been completely different. I currently am pursing a profession as a nurse. A century ago, this would not have been a possibility. First, the health care professional system was not well established as about ninety percent of all doctors did not have a college education. Therefore, jobs such as nursing were few and rare. It probably would not an option for me and would have been belittled if considered. In addition, I probably would not have had the opportunity to pursue a proper education, even more so as a woman. I am currently attending a higher institute of learning to pursue my own career. In the 1900s, I would have been discouraged from studying beyond the necessary basic education

“You’ll never be able to do it,” is all I hear anymore from those who are suppose to be the ones supporting me. Since nobody supported me in the past few years, I took matters into my own hands. I determined I was going to prove everyone that ever told me I couldn’t do it wrong, with or without them. First, I had to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I’ve learned over the past few years that I love to help people, and I don’t like to see people in pain. This lead me to wanting to pursue nursing as my career. Now I had to take the next step in my life; I had to plan for my future.

Furthermore, the most important things that I will look for in seeking my next nursing job are effective management and career development opportunities. Benefits for employees with an effective supervisor-subordinate relationship includes easier access to information, support and participation in decision making (Brunetto et al., 2013). An important tool in enhancing nurses’ job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and retention is providing staff development opportunities. Therefore, the enrichment of knowledge and skill opportunities for movement through career paths have been found to contribute to overall job satisfaction and intention to stay (Duffield, Baldwin, Roche, & Wise, 2014). Critical to enhance team functioning and patient

Compassion, communication, ethics, critical thinking, adaptability, and eagerness to learn apart from having an understanding for other people's needs without prejudice are some of the essential skills every nursing practitioner should possess. Having completed a degree in Physiotherapy, I believe I have cultivated and developed all of the above essential qualities required and will endeavor to maintain and enhance them whenever possible. My current experience and credentials have helped me gain a firm and realistic understanding of what being a nurse entails and I am confident that I am ready for the commitment and academic challenges and demonstrate my stamina, reliability, and motivation to undertake the requisite curriculum.

Nursing is a profession that requires many challenges. At present there is a great demand of nurses. Sacrifice is needed to become a nurse, even when you are an emigrant. Always keep in mind the need to work and also devote the time needed to study. The nursing is one of the most important on medicine field. Nurse is synonyms of effort, dedication and responsibility. They spend a lot of time with the patients to improve their health and quality of life.

Growing up in Honduras is my main inspiration for becoming a nurse. It made me more sensitive to what is happening in the medical world outside of the United States. But it wasn’t just growing up in a third world country that made me aspire to become a nurse. There are several instances in my life where I to suppress my emotions and actually deal with what was happening. This made me want to care for and give a greater interest to other people because it makes me feel like I can make a difference. But, I don’t want to only invest in people medically but also emotionally and spiritually. Because Honduras is still striving for a sound and humane medical system that is where I feel God has called me. Being a nurse there would help me to grow and see how I can contribute to helping make a medical system that benefits the patients more. I will now elaborate on the several instances that make me feel this way.
