Naval Officer Qualities

Being able to be a United States navy Chief is on the most honorable professional achievement that an enlisted sailor could strive to accomplish. Being a navy chief is more than just changing from one uniform on September 15 to another on September 16. Being a Navy Chief carries tremendous responsibilities as now you are the person that junior sailor comes to for guidance and development. However, to me to fully explain why I deserve to be a navy chief it would be remissive of me if I did not give credit to those who have helped develop me over the years. Over the years I have had leaders who I worked for directly and some indirectly that have provided me key guidance to aid in my learning and growth a sailor. I believe that I should be a chief

Being born to Nigerian parents who came to the USA about 20 years ago, the motto that was always preached was integrity. "No matter what you do pursue it to excellency," my father said. Instilled from an early age, I used this mentality to excel in high school, earn a full-tuition scholarship to The Ohio State University and now enter into to Johns Hopkins University to pursue nursing and subsequently become a nurse practitioner, I will use it to provide quality care. I also realize the opportunity to that has been granted to me. I was not born into an environment filled with war, poverty, and/or disease or an environment with little opportunity. That is why I am so passionate about the Nurse Corps mission in serving underserved communities. After experiencing the conditions back home on trips to Nigeria contrasting with my solid upbringing in America, I feel a moral responsibility to give back to those who are less fortunate than me. Those in underserved communities often face the greatest barriers to quality healthcare including not knowing where to go for health care and in communities with undocumented individuals the fear of deportation prevents people from getting care. Add these factors with the burden caused by other environmental stressors the likelihood of poor health outcomes in these communities increases. After seeing the suffering and hearing stories of family friends from

Shortly after beginning my nursing career at one of the most prestigious public nursing schools in Georgia, I recognized the significance of being a well-rounded student to become an individual who cares for the public. I wanted to embody a person who has the brains, the heart, the passion, and love for nursing. I had the privilege to work alongside fellow nursing students,

That research is what ignited my interest in helping veterans. I would like to strive to help the men and women who put their lives on the line for their country every day by caring for them for them in the field of physical therapy. The scars of war never go away and the amazing stories that the veterans tell are truly extraordinary. Both of my grandparents are veterans who served in the medical field of the Air Force, my grandfather was a surgical technician and my grandmother was an x-ray technician. They have told me a countless amount of stories and a variety of things they have experienced because of their jobs. By becoming a physical therapist for veterans you don’t just change their lives, but your life will also be changed in the process. In addition to my growing interest in physical therapy, I am also intrigued by the field of nursing. This interest initially began when my grandfather, who I am very close to, became critically ill. My grandfather has always been a man I have admired the most and who I spent the most time with as a

“Definition of a nurse: To go above and beyond the call of duty. The first to work and the last to leave. The heart and soul of caring. A unique soul who will pass through your life for a minute and impact it for an eternity. An empowered individual whom you may meet only for a 12-hour period, but who will put you and yours above theirs”-Anonymous. For the past year and a half, I have volunteered at Blaire E. Batson Children’s Hospital. It has been an amazing experience! My passion for the medical field and career of nursing has been magnified. I know without a doubt that nursing is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I long for the opportunity to care for my future patients and their families. I want to touch other people’s lives just as I have witnessed nurses do throughout my time volunteering. God has given me a passion for nursing. With my passion and compassion for others, I know I will be successful if admitted into the BSN program.

Since its formation during the early years of our nation the United States Navy has always stood out among other militaries, playing a vital role in the protection of our own country as well as the rest of the world. Founded upon the core values of honor, courage, and commitment the Navy has continued to uphold its men and women to exceptionally high moral, mental, and physical standards for nearly 240 years. It is my favorite branch of the military and becoming an officer in it has been a goal of mine for a long time.

My career commitment as a nurse has grown tremendously over the past three years; through my daily experiences as a Medical Assistant. I have devoted my time as a full time student and employee of the health care profession. Both of these occupations have helped shape me into the person I want to be for as long as time allows. Daily I witness these community role models that posses abilities such as problem solving skills, promotion and protection of an individual’s advocacy all tied in with compassion to meet the health care needs of an individual.

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.

Since I was in the 10th grade, I knew I wanted to pursue my education at Mount Vernon Nazarene University for nursing. Furthermore, my first college visit on MVNYOU day confirmed my decision. I greatly treasure the close knit community and the Christian based morals. To get a head start on my journey, my sophomore year I applied and was accepted into the Career and Technology Education Center of Licking County for Clinical Care (C-TEC), a nursing based program. In the duration of my last two years of high school, instead of simply graduating with my diploma, I graduated with my STNA, CET, CPT, CPCT, and my CPhT. I have gained a knowledge of the basic fundamentals of nursing. I am an active member of many different clubs and organizations supporting

The University of Alabama and I possess a common vision: We are committed to enhancing the quality of life, not only for Alabamians, but for citizens of the nation and the world. There are numerous reasons I am pursuing the admission to the University of Alabama. First, the University of Alabama is nationally ranked as an affordable graduate program and is among the top five percent of nursing schools. Second, the academic content in the Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program provides a strong advanced primary care base in support of caring for patients with common psychiatric/mental health problems. Furthermore, I am drawn to the University of Alabama’s continuous support of military veterans. I have had the privilege of serving in the Air Force for 8 years. There is an impressive amount of acceptance and support for military veterans through the numerous scholarships and Veterans Career Advancement in Nursing initiative.

The Department of Veterans affairs have recently contracted with the military to hire newly discharge veterans from the military. Lee (2007) reported, “The Department of Veterans partnerships across the country to launch a new program called "Enhancing Academic Partnerships Program formed and implemented to fill the shortage of nursing position within the organization” (p.28). The new program indicates that the Department of Veterans affairs are very versatile and creative in their strategies to seek quality employees. The Department of Veterans Affairs collects application from a pool of applicants using various resources. They are able to identify the top skills that applicants possess, usually by performance-based scores answers from the applicants applications. The organization than chooses the top three candidates. The Department of Veterans Affairs is very successful in the recruiting process because of the great benefits, competitive pay, and long- term stability that the organization offers.

As a kind hearted individual who treats everyone with respect and dignity, I feel as though I will be an advantage to this Veteran center nursing program. My last assignment in the military was on a medical surgical unit in which the majority of our census were veterans. During this time, I was able to develop a rapport with our patients that had major health issues. Although these patients were sick, I enjoyed being able to see them and help them whatever they needed. I perceived as though my patients felt better after our encounter and all left with a positive sentiment about me. One example that comes to mind is of a homeless patient I had. Once he was admitted to the floor, I overheard the ER staff stating that he smelled, I immediately

If you were to ask anyone in the medical field why they chose it, you would get the same answer from just about everyone. Their goals are all the same, because they all wanna help people and save lives. I have similar goals for myself. I believe everyone has the potential to make a difference, and I believe by becoming a doctor it would be my way to make a difference in the world. We are around the age when they start to ask us what we want to do with the rest of our lives, but I've known what I've wanted to be for a while now. I knew from the moment I was in the hospital with my grandfather right after he had open heart surgery that lt was the right career choice for me. I plan on becoming a

I believe that I possess talents and characteristics that will benefit the nursing profession. Coming from an aerospace background, I have worked in environments where attention to detail, safety, documentation, and hazardous material handling occurred on a daily basis. In addition to my normal job functions, I was proactive in process improvement programs, inventory control systems development, safety awareness programs, and I served as the department point of contact/ team leader in all three areas. I was also formally trained and worked as a certified

My decision to apply to Masters in Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Program was not an easy one, given my compelling journey in nursing. Although I have been a registered nurse for three years, my passion for nursing started a decade ago. As a teenager, I was always fascinated by the nurses who took care of me at the hospital. I admired how they made a difference in people’s lives. Subsequently, I started volunteering to a nearby hospital to get acquainted with the reality of caring for others. Shortly, my grandfather had a Cerebrovascular accident and became debilitated. My passion for nursing became driven by purpose because I wanted to take care of my grandparents. I started as a Nurse assistant then to Licensed vocational nurse, and ten
