A nurse practitioner is a title I have wanted to pursue for over two years now. I plan to complete my degree in the Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University before transferring to the University of British Columbia to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After this, it is my hope that I can become a nurse practitioner. I feel that with the opportunity your scholarship will provide, these will be goals that I can easily reach.
My desire to study nursing is due to the fact that my passion has always been assisting others and trying to improve people’s quality of life. It would bring me satisfaction and true happiness to provide patients with quality care and ultimately impact the health of the entire population through health promotion and patient education. This, combined with my strong background in the Sciences and

When I am with the seniors, I have an overwhelming desire to do everything in my power to ease their physical pain and discomfort. I want to improve their quality of life and nurture them back to health. I believe that these sorts of feelings are what is necessary for someone to become a nurse, and that any nurse must have this strong devotion to the health of her patients and the community.
I wish to become a nurse practitioner in particular due to the fact I wish to be the one to educate patients to empower them to make educated healthcare choices. I want to be the one to not only diagnose and treat patients but also give them the tools to improve their healthy practices without me. This will reduce the amount of time for their recovery and decrease the amount of time that they have to spend under medical care. After becoming a nurse practitioner, I plan to specialize in cardiology, the study of diseases and abnormalities of the heart, and add my knowledge to this field of
I don’t underestimate the amount of stress, time, and money required to fulfill this dream, but I know I have incredible potential waiting for me as I venture outside of my comfort zone. Becoming a nurse practitioner would afford me more responsibility, autonomy, and focus on compassionate, preventative, high-quality care, especially in the ever evolving field of my
Nursing is a noble profession that will help me expand my horizon by letting me focus outside of myself and my self-interest. By focusing outside of myself, I will get to be an advocate for people’s health and a humanitarian who will have a chance to see the other aspect of medical
Nurse practitioners are nurses with advanced training and education who are able to perform tasks done by doctors. I yearn to earn a master’s degree in nursing to have an advanced education. I intend to work in a hospital to help numerous patients. Throughout my four years in high school, I have always aspired to be the best by maintaining a 3.8 grade point average. With substantial knowledge, I will be an outstanding nurse. My vision as a nurse is allowing arrant communication between a patient and a health advisor by translating for those who are only able to speak Spanish.
It is not a crime to dream. Every individual sets high exceptions for what career they want. Some dream of becoming the President of the United States of America, a scientist, or even a therapist. I want a career where I can make an impact on the world. My whole life revolves around wanting to work in the medical field. My dream is becoming a nurse practitioner. I want to help care for people, their families, and to work in the field where everyday is different. I want to hold the family members hands and tell them that everything is alright. I not only want to make a difference in the lives of my patients, i also hope to make a difference in the nursing and medical field in general. to achieve the dream of becoming a nurse practitioner, I must drop the habits that hold me back and slow me down right now. Bad habits not only slow my progress my habits but also keep me from moving forward. Giving up too soon, my lack of focus, and my perfectionism hold me back in everyday life.
At this moment in time I am unsure of the nursing role that I am seeking, I am learning more about family nurse practitioner and acute care nurse practitioner as the days go by. Each field has its benefits, and whether I choose to go with FNP or Acute care I know that I will be making a positive difference in the field of nursing. Although I am a little bit unsure at this time, I feel that I am leaning more towards acute care. I love the fact that a nurse practitioner can work in many different specialties like being a nurse practitioner midwife, to working in the emergency department or even working at a clinic in a rural area, the possibilities for nurse practitioners are endless and I am very grateful to be in this program. Working at the hospital provides exposure to many different ailments, and being able to focus on one specific ailment and treat it is where my interest is in. I find the cardiac system to be complex and interesting, arterial lines, chest tubes, and hemodynamics are very interesting to me.
My short-term goals are to gain acceptance into Nurse Practitioner school and commit to clinical and academic excellence throughout my education. I plan to immerse myself in my professional development and to continue improvement of my advanced practice role. My long-term goal is to oversee stroke patients in an acute care facility and be actively involved in their care as they move to rehabilitation services and eventually recovery. I plan to use my knowledge of critical care and family practices to develop a holistic plan of care for patients, which will involve treating both their acute and chronic
The career I am interested in studying for is a Nurse Practitioner. As I have learned more in the healthcare field I have become more interested in becoming a Nurse Practitioner. A Nurse Practitioner is a more advanced Registered Nurse and they are trained to provide the diagnosis of acute illnesses and chronic illnesses. Before you become a Nurse Practitioner, you should become a Registered Nurse. This requires you to get a bachelor’s of science degree.
I have always believed in giving back to the community and in sharing my competencies and skills with others. My desire to help people in the field of nursing has powered my decision to take up a graduate degree in Nursing. Overcoming the many challenges in my life has helped me to believe that I can reach any goal I have set for myself, and one of these lifelong goals is to become a nurse practitioner and to obtain
I will be able to expand my role as care provider and health educator for my patients. Having seen firsthand the positive influence of nurse practitioners providing health education during clinic visits, I look forward to expanding this role in my own practice someday.
When it comes to my education and career goals I have very many. The first one is to finish high school and in Fall 2017 I will be attending National Park College for the RN to BSN program. After I gain field experience I plan on furthering my education and becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Currently taking a Medical Professions and Terminology class at National Park to help further my knowledge for this career. Through this class I have also become a Certified Medical Billing Specialist (CMBS) and a Certified Medical Records Technician (CMRT).
Nurses who work for patients in the acute and critical care settings can become certified in their specific field and obtain their CCRN board certification granted by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN). If the nurse has met the eligibility requirements and passed the CCRN examination, they then have earned their CCRN credentials that validate their knowledge, understanding, and performance in the care of acutely and critically ill patients (American Association of Critical-Care Nurses [AACN], n.d.). The advantages of this certification include promoting the continuation of excellent care in the nursing field, helping maintain up-to-date knowledge on acute and critical care nursing, and is also a way to provide yourself with a sense of pride and achievement in reinforcing the higher level of specialty care and experiences needed in this field of nursing. According to the AACN, research has linked higher levels of clinical knowledge, skills, and experience with CCRN certification (AACN, n.d.).

The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to choose the right career path for me. I’ll be graduating soon and I need to start researching different career paths and weighing my options. I'm the most interested in working in the medical field, I want to help people and learn more about the body itself and how it works. I want a job that gives good hours and pays well. A well paying job will provide me with the money needed to live a comfortable lifestyle and provide for a family.
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 fact, there are several reasons why I chose nursing as my profession. First and foremost is that I want to focus on changing people’s lives (Nurse Journal, 2016). As a nurse, I would study the life's value when I would be seeing individuals struggling to remain alive. Since I am fully aware that each life's breadth is a gift, I would, therefore, understand this lesson further as I would be nursing various patients daily. I greatly respect human life, I possess strong values and I am compassionate for empathy and suffering, factors that have further attracted me to the nursing profession. Second, nursing profession allows continuous learning. As I like learning, I would possess unlimited opportunities for advancing my medical knowledge. As such, I would capable of choosing to work in various departments, train to become a medical assistant and as well enter the nursing management where I would grow and mentor new nurses through sharing my knowledge
