Nursing Personal Statement

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

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

I chose to apply to Georgetown University School of Medicine as I am extremely believe my medical education would significantly benefit from your mission to cure the whole person and the Population Health Scholar Track. First, I am interested in the cura personalis curriculum as it will give me the ability to think critically about the entire person as I worked towards achieving my goal of being a physician with a speciality in addiction medicine. In caring for patients, it is evident that looking at the entire person is crucial for patient care. Recently, I stepped into this role during an encounter with a 16-year-old female patient with knee pain and a BMI of 42.

Having stood beside my husband for nine months as he struggled through a massive brain injury gave me a firsthand perspective of the power of nurses. Although I had been a new nurse at the time, this experience completely changed my viewpoint. Their compassion, empathy, knowledge, and trust was unprecedented and helped me through many painful days. Devastatingly, after a courageous fight, my husband passed away. This was undoubtedly the most heartbreaking experience in my life.

I know I have the ability to put others before me and make sure they are taken care of just as I would want my loved ones to be. A nursing degree is one of the toughest degrees to earn but that’s because you are putting the lives of people in your hands. I know as a nurse I will be able to make well educated decisions in my patient’s care. Nursing is one of the most rewarding careers there is but can also be one of the hardest careers. Somedays you may find yourself hiding the tears for a patient or their family. Other days you might be jumping for joy with a patient. You never know what your day will bring you but you have to be ready for the best, worst and everything in-between kind of

While most seniors had already committed to a college around March and the beginning of April, I found myself stuck. I have been running against the clock in order to weigh the costs and benefits, find out what is most important to me in a college, and ultimately, make the proper, knowledgeable decision. I have been constantly going back and forth with my parents on attending a two year college versus a four year, and a regional campus versus a main campus, and decided to make the decision regarding what matters most to me. Throughout narrowing my choices down I am proud to say that I have made the decision to attend Northern Kentucky University, just nine days before the deadline. Though it is not the financially smart decision, I believe

According to the American Nursing Association (ANA), Nursing is a field that protects, promotes, and optimizes one’s health and abilities, prevents illness and injury, alleviates suffering through diagnosis and treatment as well as advocates for the care of individuals, their families, communities, and the general populations. While in the military, I was on a spectrum where we fight to serve not only our country, but protect our families and communities as well. Now, as a military veteran, the experience of combat inspires me to help save the lives of others. I see nursing as an extension of the protection and care offered to people through promoting their health, alleviating suffering while helping people achieve safe and healthy lives.

I realized I wanted to be a nurse the spring break of my senior year in high school. I had no plans that spring break so I decided to volunteer at a nursing home that treated patients with Alzheimer’s. That week at the nursing home I experienced something I had never experienced before. Although I did not personally know any of the patients, I cared about their well being, the stories they loved to tell, and I accepted the affection they were so eager to share.

For the last 3 years of my life i have developed a huge interest in the healthcare sector particularly nursing, i am very keen to work within the NHS. I am aware that nursing is a very challenging and demanding career, i am very eager to pursue a career which is rewarding, and where it allows me to help and care for other individuals, i feel as though i am ready to embark on this career. By becoming a nurse this would help me achieve my ambition, i feel that i am a enthusiastic and very positive person which will be able to help me throughout my course. I am very keen on working with the vulnerable as i feel that i have a lot of compassion towards others. I have a open personality and i am very caring when it comes to helping others, these

Everyone is called on this Earth with a unique gift, for a specific talent to be used at an appointed time. My calling is to be a nurse, gifted with an impassable love for others, talented by God to help with the healing process of His people and now it is time to advance in my field of nursing implementing the latest and best evidence based practice to one’s community, along with providing holistic compassionate care. Achieving a doctoral degree is a part of one’s destiny in transforming the field of psychiatric nursing, enhancing one’s knowledge and strengthening clinical skills, and being an influential leader and mentor in one’s profession. With my advancement in psychiatric nursing I know that the future works that God has planned for

Nursing has special commitments and expectations unlike any career. Nurses spend the most time with a patient amongst a team of care providers. Nurses play a major role in patient safety and care experience. Nurses need skills to evaluate a plan of care before administering medication. Communication is key in providing information and support to the patient along with their loved ones.

Nursing is one of the few professions that is recognized as a profession at the Diploma and Associate Degree level. Pursing my Masters in Psychiatry as a Nurse Practitioner at Hunter College will not only help to further my personal growth and goals as a nurse, but it will also help to continue to uplift my profession. Each phase of my nursing education and career has led to prepare me in my current nursing roles. As an Associate degree nurse my education prepared me to handle clinical tasks, my Bachelor’s degree helped me to gain critical leadership skills and knowledge, as I pursue my Master’s Degree I look forward in ascertaining the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare me in my role of primary care in the psychiatric setting.

I am enthusiastic about making a change to people’s lives. Nursing is an occupation that accomplishes this determination. Having been part of a big family of nine people I have always learnt to assist others and to do whatever I can. My inspiration to become a nurse was my mother since she was able to look after and care for a big family of nine. She has always been an inspiration to me, as she looks after my disabled sister, looking after my sister is very rewarding and challenging, but a challenge my mum deals with immaculately.

I chose this major because I like to help people. I chose nursing because I want to save lives. I’m interested in nursing also because of my mom. My mom has a lot of health conditions include diabetes, fibromyalgia, asthma, and gastritis. I help my mom on daily basis with her conditions. I love helping my mom. To me, being a nurse is far more than a job or even a career. It's an adventure, a continuous learning process that I embark on bravely each day, in search of life changing events and miracles. I consider myself to be a compassionate person who genuinely enjoys helping people, to positively impact people's lives by making a significant difference while achieving a lifelong dream, because of its endless variety and finally, I believe this is the best career path for me.

I remember at a young age telling my mother that I wanted to be a nurse just like her, she told me to choose a different path. Her response surprised me but did not stop me from pursuing my dream. I am passionate about being a nurse and what that role means. With recent frustrations with others in this profession I finally understood why my mother told me to choose a different path. I have always believed that being a nurse is an honor, that we are the voice of not only our patients but the communities they come from. When you continually work by those who do not share those beliefs and values it can break you. A nurse that truly cares and understands how
