Nursing Personal Statement Examples

Since I was a little child in South Korea, I was exposed to the healthcare field. My mother was a nurse practitioner in a rural village and our house was connected to her clinic. Consequently, stethoscopes and syringes became my toys and the clinic became my playhouse. I also watched my mother patiently tend to the patients and put their well-being before her own. This early exposure to the health services sparked an interest in me. To me, my mother was skilled, powerful, and caring. She emulated all the things that I wanted to become when I grew up. Therefore, I decided that I wanted to become a person who makes a difference in people’s lives through health care. Since then, I have dreamed of becoming a nurse that is both compassionate and skillful.

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 first became exposed to a hospital setting during my early ages of childhood due to my constant issues with my immune system. To my parents, I was commonly referred to as the sick child in the family since I would constantly catch even the simplest of illnesses such as fevers, colds, flus, running nose, severe coughs and much more. The time period, in which I would visit the doctor’s office, lead me to become more accustomed overtime to the environment and eventually grow a passion for what is being done.

I wish to be considered for the Los Angeles City College Registered Nursing Program, because I believe that this program will provide me with the techniques and knowledge to excel in patient care and become a successful nurse. I always knew that I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives; after taking a few perquisites for nursing, I found that the science aspect of it piqued my interest. Studying about the functions of the human body, and how the environment, medicine, and genetics affect homeostasis, caused me to develop a passion for nursing. Therefore, I exposed myself to the hospital environment by volunteering in the ICU at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center. My experience in the ICU was motivational and inspiring. I loved walking

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.

In Nigeria, I had a first degree in animal science and one year post graduate in Public Administration. I got married at the age of 29 to my husband who was a medical doctor. I became fascinated about what goes on in the hospital and how nurses and doctors related to their patients in a compassionate and patient manner. Since then I started developing interest in nursing. Sometimes I end up helping my husband to prepare food for the patients when they don’t want or like the food served to them at the hospital. I also keep the patients company when I am free. I realized that what some of these patients need is them talking about themselves without them being judged. Just sitting and allowing them to talk is very therapeutic to them.

“The journey to success they say requires persistence”; and many successful people learn from experience. To be involved in any profession one must first gain understanding and experience, the Word instructs us “... study to show thyself approved…” Working as a medical-Surgical Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), has given me the avenue to know more and inspired the desire to advance in the field of nursing. With this inspiration, I believe Nursing school will aide in the furtherance and I trust that i am prepared to take on the challenge head on.

The discovery of the absence or presence of a disease impacts the lives of patients. As a patient dealing with my own health struggles I see the crucial role a CLS plays in the discovery of a disease. CLS do not personally interact with patients, but they perform tests to diagnose the disease and provide the vital data of the disease, which helps physicians determine the best treatment for the patient. Without CLS diseases can be misdiagnosed, especially when they are based on symptoms. Many diseases share the same symptoms. As a result, diseases may be misdiagnosed and the treatment plan for the patient may be incorrect. This leads to stress for the patient and money wasted. The crucial role of a CLS in the diagnosis of a disease is one of

During junior year, I participated in a program, lead2change, that provided opportunities for students to walk, live, and stand in their dream. It included professional internships, successful and dedicated speakers that are agents of change, and people who are already living in their dreams. I have been so blessed to take the opportunities that were provided by the program. I feel more confident in my ability to take on the role of Nurse Gordon. That I’m currently taking initiative to pursue some of my career dreams. I’m currently in a CNA program to get my foot in the healthcare field door, to take a look at the expectations that are demanded. As a result, I can be fully prepared to receive my LPN then to eventually reach my ultimate dream

My decision to pursue a career in nursing began in 1981, while I was living in Peru. I was accepted into the Medical School of National San Marcos University. This program taught me the basics in medicine and patient care. I attended this University for almost eight years, nearly completing my studies. Peru 's government structure had changed dramatically, causing a decline in entire country's finances, and I found it necessary to find a full-time job immediately to help support my family. I accepted a job as a legislative secretary to the National Congress of Peru, working for several congressmen for over nine years. In 1996, I moved to the United States and continued my studies as a Surgical Care Assistant at Memorial Hospital in Colorado

It has always been truly astonishing how one cell can multiply into thousands. That one cell can cause the depletion and breakdown of your entire immune system and that one cell could be cancerous and lead ultimately to your death. That one cell that turned into many, then turned from ovarian cancer into lastly, Stage 4 breast cancer. That one cell took the life of my late grandmother. But it wasn’t her passing that sparked my interest into research, it was the trialing process of chemotherapy, radiation, and routine intake of medicine and regular doctor visits that triggered my interest into the study of cancer and health. I wanted to know if there were better preventative measures that could have decreased her chances of mortality care but

VII. Personal Statement I looked out the window and saw barren dirt roads, no overflowing shopping centers or even a Wal-Mart. The visits to Presidio became somewhat constant and rather than staying weekends, I stayed months. During one of my prolong stays, I volunteered at a clinic that was housed by a physician every Wednesday. During an observation with a woman who was twenty-two weeks pregnant, I learned that premature infants that are delivered before twenty-three weeks had minimal chance of survival in towns like Presidio due to the community not having direct access to hospitals.

Background Nursing has always been a passion of mine since my first year of nursing school. Each year my desire to improve the quality of nursing care increases. Obtaining a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree will assist me in not only reaching a higher level of clinical knowledge and expertise, but also increase my usage of evidence-based care. I have over a decade of professional nursing experience, both administratively and clinically, in a level one trauma center at the Medstar Washington Hospital Center. I have worked in both, the surgical ICU and the Emergency Room (ER).

Learning how small changes in the functional group of chemicals and the subsequent effect on its biological interactions, and how this knowledge is applied into practice, has always fascinated me. The constant medical advancements in testing, techniques, and technologies, such as the adaptability of 3D printing, ensures a life of continuous learning, as we continue to pursue the best possible patient-centred care. Attending talks by leading professors, being a member of my school’s Biology Society, widens by knowledge and perspective of science. As a result of my passion for science and teaching others, I also volunteered for a daylong Biology event where I led an interactive mini-stall about the different functions of the brain for kids under

I graduated from Miami Dade College in December 2017 with an Associate of Science in Nursing. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a nurse. When I entered nursing school, I was undecided about what area of nursing was for me, and medical-surgical care was certainly not it. Surprisingly, from the moment I began my clinical rotations at Jackson South Hospital’s Med Surge Unit, I knew that this was where I wanted to work.
