Nursing Personal Statement

In the corner of the small hospital room stood a shy little girl. “You shouldn't be in here, honey”, my mother said as she nudged me out of the room where my grandfather lay dying. At the time, I couldn't understand the enormity of the situation. Ignorant to what was happening around me, my innocent mind fled with curiosity. The beeping of the machines and the soft quick steps of nurses captivated my attention. I was fascinated with this strange new world. This is the moment that sparked my desire to become someone great; a nurse.

I would like to be a Registered Nurse. A Registered Nurse assists in the process of recuperation for different patients that have varying illnesses and diseases. Being a part of that process and making a difference in the patient’s life has always been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I feel that Arizona College will assist me in this endeavor the most efficiently.

I am seeking employment as an entry level nursing assistant. I would like to join my personal healthcare experiences to the Mercy team’s talents to jointly give the best service to the patients of Mercy Hospital. I have been interested in nursing the past six years. Over the past two years, I have become passionate about nursing, specifically ICU nursing, and I coming to a point in my life where I am wanting to begin stepping into this career choice. I am very compassionate, empathetic, and feel that the experiences that I have endured with my daughter these past two plus years have given me a passion to provide excellent and loving care to ill patients.

May I express my keen interest to apply for a job in your institution as a Registered Nurse Division 1. I have heard a lot of positive things about Alfred Health specifically Caulfield Hospital, which is one of the leading rehabilitative facilities here in Victoria. I spent my clinical placement there in the Sub-acute Aged Care Unit (Ch-12 ACG) in Alfred Health (Caulfield) for four weeks and the learning experience by far has been awesome and inspiring. I have a great passion in both geriatric and rehabilitative nursing and I am convinced that Caulfield Hospital would be the best place to sharpen my knowledge, attitude and skills as a nurse in the given fields.

As an Assistant Nurse Manager with a Master’s Degree in Nursing and over 19 years of experience in different healthcare settings. I strongly believe that improving myself through education is the right way to move abreast with the dynamic nature of the nursing field, so I can provide quality service to my clients as well as the community at large. If I achieve a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, I will be in an excellent position to lead and motivate others also to reach out for their dreams. Achieving a Bachelor’s Degree in nursing (BSN) from the University of Texas at San Antonio, Master’s in Science Nursing and Master’s in Public Health(MSN/MPH) degrees from the University of Massachusetts (UMASS) at Amherst have sufficiently prepared me academically to pursue a doctorate degree.

The theory is explained on the idea that the increased comfort of a patient or their family, the more they are ready to accept and react to the treatment plan. The theory can also be applied to the nursing profession in the sense that

As nurses we all bring our own values and beliefs to the job whether or not we intend to, it happens. I place large amounts of value on family and friends. These are the people you can call on for support. I know that without the support of my mom helping me with my kids and my house work there is no way I could be in the nursing program. Family is often a place when as children we learn and develop our values and beliefs. Giving this deeper thought I can see how this is true for myself. When working with B I would often think about what it would be like to be raised in an unstable environment by a mother who struggles with mental health and addictions. B was often placed in respite foster homes. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to sit down to meal with a strange family how awkward would he have felt. Building on this making connections with people is very important to me. Once I was able to build a connection with B I was able to work with him in a more cohesive way. Making that convection helps to build trust, positive relationships are built on trust. Being a good listener is a skill that I value as a nurse. Not only do I value being a good listener but I also value being heard. I value you a person 's ability to do what they say they are going to do. If you tell a patient that you will return to check in with them in 30 minutes than you need to be sure that you keep your word. When working with clients it is import to me to build on

Nurses are the epitome of Cura Personalis. There are an abundance of careers to positively influence the lives of others, but few career paths endeavor to truly serve all people. Nurses respond to health care needs of people considering spiritual, health, socio-cultural, economic status and the evolving practice of nursing to provide and advocate for these individuals. Nurses have an innate ability to learn about the individuals they serve and they care for people rather than “clients,” “patients,” or “customers.” My motivation to pursue a career in the discipline of nursing is because I envision myself helping people through their most vulnerable moments.

I am very proud to say that I have been working in caring profession for the last 10 years. I am very passionate about this profession and enjoy each and every moment and giving a high standard of care by lifting the spirit of the patients. I have experienced many different care roles in a variety of situation in this country and abroad and which inspired me a lot to take the nursing training. Recently I have finished the assistant Practitioner (AP) Degree in Bedfordshire University with excellent grades.

From a young age, I've always had the desire to have a good influence on the lives of other people. I continuously have the desire to take care of someone whether that be emotionally, physically, or mentally. Although I have the choice to do so, I know I have the power to help individuals in the most effective way. I view nursing as a rewarding career choice with a variety of specialties to explore. A few years ago, I personally had to take care of my grandfather who was diagnosed with cancer. From this experience, I carried out various care roles in different situations. I specifically remember how much I admired the love, care, and understanding the nurses gave to my grandfather. My interest and commitment to nursing became even stronger

My calling to nursing started when my father got diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015. I watched him suffering through radiation and chemotherapy, but what got him through those hard times was the help of some great loving and caring nurses. As I became more involved in taking care of him, my passion for nursing had greatly increased. Now, for nine years, I have maintained a commitment to caring for others in the field of Nursing. Being a registered nurse (RN), I have taken care of one patient at a time, which I have been involved in the amelioration of lives, and have only been left wanting to give and do more. Pursuing a master of science in nursing (MSN) is more than just a logical or natural progression for my career. It is a life choice, one that is backed by highly refined clinical judgments and in-depth exposure to an array of set-ups, and levels of care. In this personal statement, I will deeper highlight an explanation of my career goals, the reasons for my choice of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialization, and lastly the reason for pursuing an advanced degree in nursing.

My interest in nursing came about after seeing my Mum working at a residential care home. She taught me how fulfilling any job in personal care can be, whether it is a Care Assistant, a Doctor or anyone in between. The amount of passion and empathy that nurses display, even when the job is challenging is admirable. Biology is my favourite subject; I enjoy learning about the human body. I found DNA fascinating because it is such an intricate molecule that can hold so much vital information.

I started off in nursing profession some fourteen years ago as a license practical nurse. I further my education to get my associate in nursing nine years ago. After getting my associate in nursing, I never anticipate getting my bachelors until I started reading articles in nursing journals on entry level in nursing education. According to Beth Puliti in advance healthcare network, the argument to elevate the entry level educational level for nursing practice is not new. As early as 1965, the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing published positions that BSN should be the entry level into nursing profession.

I chose to study nursing as a profession because I have come to recognise that I have unknowingly created a set of valuable beliefs that will guide my career as a nurse.

My passion for nursing was fuelled by the tragedy in my life. Having helplessly watched my mother pass away, after being diagnosed with malaria, which showed me how communication works towards patients, staff and developing relationships with them performs a big part in nursing and that made me determined to help others. My own diagnosis with tuberculosis at a young age has helped me to experience first-hand the effects that good nursing can have. Likewise, ever since my mom passed away I have taken an active role in my little sister life and took care of her from an early age has also taught me responsibilities, compromise and that has been a great experience for me to focus on. At university, I look forward to learning more about how the human body works and how it gets treated when it comes damaged. I prefer a child nursing because I adore children and believe children
