I Want To Pursue Nursing Degree

I am a proud employee at Scripps Mercy Hospital and have been here since 2012 working as a CNA. I have recently been accepted to San Diego City college Associate Degree Nursing program. Since the age of 16 I knew nursing was my calling. I attended a local community college as part of a program in high school and earned my Nursing assistant certificate. I have worked extremely hard to get where I am today and earning this degree would mean the world to me. This degree would allow me to contribute my skills as an RN to provide efficient, effective patient-centered care at Scripps health.

Nursing school is a touching and inspiring journey. I provide great care for patients and their families and I could only long to continue serving my diverse community as a registered nurse alongside your team.

After attending an information session, doing my own research, and talking to a friend who attended a similar program at Western U, I knew I should apply to the Western U College of Graduate Nursing program. Because of preview day, I could really feel how much care and compassion the faculty was in showing us the numerous resources offered, the knowledgeable and skilled professors, and their care to produce the best nurses to patients and healthcare. WesternU is the perfect school for me because they understand student’s struggles. They take into consideration that not all students are the same and they had different current student speakers to give us details on their journey to and in the program. The students all came from different cultural and

In my short 15 years of life, I have wanted to pursue in several different careers. I knew that I wanted to interact with people in some way; whether it be by cutting their hair, or stopping crime. With most of my parents being in the medical field, I have always been interested in getting a bachelor’s degree in Nursing.

I am a graduate of Jefferson College of Health Sciences having obtained the Bachelor of Science Nursing credential in 2012. Since graduating from the program I have obtained licensure as a registered nurse and been employed as an emergency department staff nurse at Carilion Clinic’s busy level one trauma center. The education I received at Jefferson College taught me the basics of clinical nursing and nursing leadership; it is because of this foundation that I have thrived and grown in my role as an emergency nurse. I wish to continue my growth as a nurse and continue to advance in my practice - eventually becoming a leader within the Carilion organization. The next step in achieving my goals will be to acquire the Master of Science Nursing degree with a focus on Nursing Administration.

Without nurses to show compassion and empathy to those who are at their lowest point in life and at their most vulnerable there would be no one else to be there to help them through this time in need. I want to be a nurse that people can see cares and wants the best possible outcome for them. My life experiences may be traumatic and difficult but I overcame them and now I strive to be the best nurse I can be to prove everybody that doubted my abilities wrong. To give society one more nurse that has a big heart with room for each and everyone in

During my ASN program, the professors all stressed the imperativeness of obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree due to the fact that health care employers would all require it. Despite the freedom I felt after passing state boards, I knew I had to go back to pursue my BSN.

My passion for medicine is matched only by my love for people, so my decision to specialize in medicine and one day become a Nurse Practitioner comes from the heart. Nursing is just one of the numerous ways that the duty of giving back can be fulfilled. Every community, rather large or small, has people that can be reached with the love that nursing provides.

More recently I have had the opportunity to go on a Mission Trip to St. Louis, Missouri, where the church held a children’s camp during the day and also helped another church get their word out to the community. In my days there I realized that I was making a difference in these young kids’ lives and it made me happy. The best feeling is when you see the big smiles on the kid’s faces that you know you have helped. Consequently, I think my eagerness and desire to help others is one of the biggest reasons I would love to become a nurse. I know that that job is a difficult one, but if I can make a difference in someone’s life then I am ready to take that challenge.

“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.

I believe the experience I’ve gained from the work force will be a valuable tool as a nurse. When I think of a nurse I imagine a compassionate, smart, and caring person. I don’t think I would possess these qualities if I was coming straight from high school. Metaphorically speaking, I know that all people suffer in their own battles. I am now older, wiser, and more compassionate and understand when patients are sick they need to encounter a nurse that can give them compassion, understanding, loving care, correct information, and a listening

Success. Specifically in the pursuit of eduction, is such a beautiful ideology and yet so rigorous every single step of the journey. My mindset is geared to conquer my most difficult endeavors to the best of my ability. That goes without stating, that the next challenge is obtaining my bachelor’s degree from your exceptionally well recognized institution. Above all, I believe Rutgers University will further expand my core knowledge in the respect of the nursing profession. Furthermore, leadership courses will broaden my confidence in the workforce, sharpen my clinical skills, and create a more marketable nurse. Most importantly, this opportunity to attend Rutgers University will allow me to use my expertise within a more advance hospital of

Studying nursing at Ameritech College of Healthcare has given me a deep insight on the qualities it takes to make a great nurse. I have acquired a varied skill set that I believe will help benefit your company, such as critical thinking and excellent bedside care. I am compassionate, hard-working, eager to learn, empathetic, and very patient driven. As a nurse for your company, patients will be my number one priority and I will also be an excellent

My current experience as a nurse and being in management will be the biggest influence my new journey with Colorado Christian University in earning my Bachelors degree. I earned my Associates degree in 2012 and have worked as a registered nurse for Golden Plains Community Hospital since. This last year I accepted a position as assistant manager for the Women’s Center at GPCH. I have learned to work with multiple departments and to coordinate patient care. My current position has influenced my decision to further my education so that I can better help my employees as well as my patients. I have come to understand that higher education can also impact my career path and how my future will play out. Nursing can be both stressful and very rewarding.

Providing a high and consistent level of care to patients and their families is something that I feel strongly about, and wish to become a part of. Becoming a nurse is far more than going to work and coming home again. To be a great nurse requires certain skills, some of which we are taught, others that we have instilled in us from a young age. These include compassion, sympathy and the ability to treat everyone as equals regardless of background, ethnicity or cultural beliefs. These are not things we are taught in education, but we teach ourselves and learn from others. The ability to provide high quality care should not be compromised. Having to watch a loved one deteriorate in front of your eyes can be heart wrenching, to be able to
