Clinical Student Nurse Personal Statement

My inspiration to pursue a lifelong career in nursing derived from witnessing a close individual succumb to a painful and chronic disease when I was the tender age of 6. I pondered and researched endlessly on the symptoms and damage caused by that disease until I comprehended its origin and everlasting effects. The memory of witnessing that individual die will continue to plague my memories and serve as a reminder of why I continue to strive for my goals today. From that point on, I knew exactly the person I aspired to be in the future—a nurse. I was fascinated with acquiring knowledge about the human body and diseases. In high school, I applied to a local hospital to become a candystriper to gain more insight about the medical field and nursing. I was placed into the endoscopy department and it was there where I truly established my determination to take on the challenge of becoming a nurse. I witnessed and experienced a myriad of things during my time there. I grasped how to become more compassionate and to prioritize one’s life and safety above everything. The hospital became my personified version of Utopia.

Through high school I was involved in many different groups, clubs and athletics. I was a STRIDES leader for 2 years, an active member of the high school Bible study and a leader of the out of school athlete Bible study. I was a member of FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes), and I was also a member of the Z-Club. In high school I took challenging classes every quarter and I also took 3 of the 4 available college credit courses offered, finishing with an A in them all. I was on the honor roll 3 of the 4 years I was in high school and was a very dedicated student in all of my classes. During high school, I was given the amazing experience of representing my school and student body by being voted the freshman representative for the homecoming court. I was also

I completed my adult nursing degree. I began my nursing career in 2014 in primary care as a community nurse. I have continuously undertaken courses to improve my skill and knowledge in caring for patients. This has empowered me to deliver holistic evidence based care to patients in the community. I have continued to professionally update my practice and have developed comprehensive portfolio.

Since I was a little child in South Korea, I was exposed to the healthcare field. My mother was a nurse practitioner in a rural village and our house was connected to her clinic. Consequently, stethoscopes and syringes became my toys and the clinic became my playhouse. I also watched my mother patiently tend to the patients and put their well-being before her own. This early exposure to the health services sparked an interest in me. To me, my mother was skilled, powerful, and caring. She emulated all the things that I wanted to become when I grew up. Therefore, I decided that I wanted to become a person who makes a difference in people’s lives through health care. Since then, I have dreamed of becoming a nurse that is both compassionate and skillful.

Giving end of life care to my terminally ill mother has ignited a passion in me to read Medicine and make a real difference to people's lives. Caring for her whilst she was bedridden gave me an invaluable insight into the care of the critically ill. Dealing with death is a crucial part of a doctor's job and I feel that the past year has made me much more aware, sensitive and prepared me to deal with this aspect of the job. I am undergoing an induction for my job as Clinical Support Worker. This will allow me to gain familiarity within the clinical environment. Through work experience which I organised at a GP Surgery and Bedford Hospital, I have gained an insight into life as a doctor; I saw the importance of the surgeon having a high leg excision of a

Given the goals of WRITE, please state why you should participate in the next class of students. Growing up in rural Wyoming instilled within me a desire to work toward improving access to medical care in rural areas, and I feel my participation in WRITE would equip me with the skills and tools necessary to pursue this goal. I possess a unique perspective into rural communities and will be able to share this with physicians and patients while deepening my understanding of health care challenges in rural areas. I enjoy immersing myself in novel situations in order to learn about cultures, practices, people, and worldviews which differ from my own. I strongly believe in a holistic view of medicine: empowering patients to become partners in

Please allow me to introduce myself as Crystal Jordan. I started with Poudre Valley Health System in January 2007 in the Patient Access Department. In late 2009, I transferred to the Medical/Neurology Unit at Medical Center of the Rockies to provide patient care as a Nursing Aide. I have deliberately but steadily pursued my passion for nursing working as a single mom. I graduated from Denver School of Nursing this past March, 2016.

I have currently been teaching clinicals for two different colleges. This requires a lot of leadership. I am also a resource for new nurses. I am extremely approachable and easy to communicate with. I find that even with nurses who have experience often come to me with questions.

I always had an idea about what I wanted to do when I was older. During the middle of my sophomore year I finally picked a career path I would continue after high school. Throughout middle school I was always torn between being an elementary school teacher and a registered nurse. They both require you to have patience and to work with others to improve their daily lives. I loved the fact of being a teacher because I love working with children and wanted to help them develop skills they could use later in life.

As a new graduate nurse from Federation University Australia, please accept my application for Department of Health Services 2019 graduate program. I am particularly interested in joining Department of Health Services as I understand that your organisation places a strong emphasis on dedication to improve the health and wellbeing of the Rural/Regional communities and commitment to provide the highest levels of health care and service. Having gained considerable professional insight through the observation and experience gained in my clinical placement, I have been able to see first-hand that lead to better outcome. My Bachelor of Nursing degree has given me an excellent understanding of traditional nursing practices, new technology and caring values.

The responsibilities of a registered nurse is to simply take care of the patient, often work in hospitals or outpatient facilities, where they provide hands-on care to patients by administering medications observing and monitoring the patients. As a nurse you should have these qualities: critical thinking skills, communication skills, compassion, detailed oriented, emotional stability, organizational skills and physical

As I am a domestic student in my final trimester of my Bachelor of Nursing from Griffith University, I would like to apply for Queensland Health Graduate Nurse and Midwife Program 2018 intake. I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with all the skills necessary to join this program and contribute to holistic patient care.

While advancing from a staff nurse to a preceptor, charge nurse, and now to the Patient Care Manager of the Children’s Emergency Department, I have embraced the teachings and challenges from each role, enabling me to learn and understand the daily life of each member of the nursing team. In each of these positions, I have taken on leadership roles that have allowed me to utilize my natural leadership abilities, yet have challenged me to grow in order to be an effective leader in a real-time hospital setting. During my time at New York Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, I have been surrounded by great leaders who have ignited my inner passion of inspiring others and taught me to lead my team to the next level of their practice. As the chairman of the NYP Quality and

I consider my greatest strengths to be my ability to develop and maintain excellent working relations with physicians, staff and patients as well as a comprehensive understanding of all areas of nursing care and healthcare delivery.

The Maya Angelou quote “They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel” perfectly encapsulates what nursing means to me. I come from a loving family that could have been devastated by my mother’s severe and debilitating illness. Rather than treatment and diagnosis, I have seen that it is the way a patient is made to feel that has the most significant impact on the outcome. I now have an awareness of the significance of the nursing profession and the determination to be able to tackle the helplessness some experience in the face of illness. I am therefore interested in the care of patients who suffer from both acute and chronic conditions.
