Nursing Personal Statement

My inspiration to pursue a lifelong career in nursing derived from witnessing a close individual succumb to a painful and chronic disease when I was the tender age of 6. I pondered and researched endlessly on the symptoms and damage caused by that disease until I comprehended its origin and everlasting effects. The memory of witnessing that individual die will continue to plague my memories and serve as a reminder of why I continue to strive for my goals today. From that point on, I knew exactly the person I aspired to be in the future—a nurse. I was fascinated with acquiring knowledge about the human body and diseases. In high school, I applied to a local hospital to become a candystriper to gain more insight about the medical field and nursing. I was placed into the endoscopy department and it was there where I truly established my determination to take on the challenge of becoming a nurse. I witnessed and experienced a myriad of things during my time there. I grasped how to become more compassionate and to prioritize one’s life and safety above everything. The hospital became my personified version of Utopia.

I completed my adult nursing degree. I began my nursing career in 2014 in primary care as a community nurse. I have continuously undertaken courses to improve my skill and knowledge in caring for patients. This has empowered me to deliver holistic evidence based care to patients in the community.

During my internship, I practiced teamwork, clinical excellence, and became proficient in

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

Vivian Onyechi Statement of Purpose Health care has been at the forefront of my life. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to be in the Health field, but I did not know what direction I would go. You see I come from a country where we didn't take healthcare seriously until you had to go to a hospital. One would think that going to a hospital would reassure you that everything would be alright but that is not the case. The system is designed to make health professionals think of themselves and how they can profit off your misery while incompetence is the order of the day.

In October of 2016 I will have completed the BSN degree program at Grand Canyon University (GCU).

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 have a Master’s Degree in nursing and am a proud graduate of Mount St. Mary’s University. My two years of volunteer experience in the past as an Assistant Nurse at White Memorial Medical Center helped me realize and implement clinal duties I learned during my course of education.

Over the last three years at SRMC, my foundation in nursing, which began at Clemson University, was advanced through vigorous clinical hours spent with critical cardiac patients and intense clinical education to promote better care for this patient population. By working on a post coronary care unit, I have had the opportunity to care for a patient population of differing ages and cultures with not only cardiac issues

My interest in nursing started unexpectedly when I became the main caregiver for my family. I had the responsibilities of helping my father who was diagnosed with cancer and raising my daughter as a single-teenaged parent. After pursuing my dreams and working several years as a nurse, I have been introduced to different aspects of nursing. I fell in love with the field of orthopedics because I was amazed at how orthopedic surgeons could remodel bones and help patients with serious injuries regain their strength and mobility. This inspired me to become an advanced practiced nurse in the field of orthopedics.
