Orthopedic Surgical Mission Trip To Nicaragua

Along with my application, I want to also submit a personal statement. First off, I believe that earning a degree from Madonna University would help me achieve my goal of making a difference in someone's life and helping others. I want to major in Nursing. Nursing would give me a chance to help others everyday lives. My goal in life is to make a difference in someone else's. It would also help me reach educational goals by allowing me to get an education in a field that I am very interested in.

I am Madison Jakob. I grew up in a small family, that consisted of my mom and brother. My mom is a single parent who raised me and my brother alone, for most of our lives. I always looked up to my mom, she works at a hospital and as a kid when my mom would get home i would always ask her about her day and all the exciting thing she experienced throughout the day. As i got older the more she would tell me all the gruesome and sad stories. She influenced by decision of wanting to become a ER nurse.

Although most people think they can get away with picking an easy topic for their senior projects it turns out to be a little more complex than that. Growing up my ideas and passions would always seem to be changing but when I finally became set in my ways at least in knowing what I would like to pursue the Nursing Program was up to par. I chose to do mine on Nursing in the ED (emergency department) because this is a field I would love to go into so I can be of service to those in need of any medical care, to always have a stable job to rely on, and further more to be able to excel in the field of medicine. I would love to be one of the people on call to respond to the needs of another individual in their time of need. Anyone could only

As I prepare to begin my adult life after high school graduation, I plan to continue my education at California State University, Long Beach and hope to graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing. Spending my four years of high school in the AIMS program at Jordan has influenced me to continue to pursue higher education. Getting the best education possible will allow me to be able to give back to my community by providing affordable and valuable care to everyone. I was given me the opportunity to volunteer at the Long Beach Veteran Affairs hospital and in the Long Beach Bike Uptown program. These experiences have made me realize how important it is to help others and that every little action a person does affects others. I would like to become

For the group’s PPR project, we chose volunteering for the Red Cross’s campus blood drive. This was decided upon because of the important role that the organization has developed in humanity, the important role it plays in healthcare, as well as the many roles a nurse has within this organization.

I am applying to the certified nursing program. Since I was little, I have always want to be in the medical field. I grew up in a big family, where my parents were illiterate but worked really hard, and struggled a lot to send me to school, as a first generation, to get educated. The idea of helping each other has always a joy to my heart and of course to those who received the help. Thus, as I get older and older, started to explore the field the more I fall in love with it. My parents could not afford to continue to send me to college. I felt the same pain that they had. I did not stop going I continued and graduated from highschool. Over the years, we moved to Minnesota for a better place. When we got here, I decided to start working as

The past two years in the community college have been great. I have learned a lot from my well respected instructors and my peers. So now, I want to transfer to a four year college and continue to grow, broaden my understandings and improve my communication skills. Now I'm about to complete my associate in science program at Trident Technical College, in Charleston, South Carolina, where I have been successful academically and socially. During this time I was a peer tutor which furthered my knowledge of the United States and its culture all while working part time jobs. These experiences have contributed to my education as a whole. My goal is to transfer to a university and attain my bachelor’s degree in Nursing. Becoming a nurse is a goal that I have had for quite some time having seen the lack of healthcare in a developing country and the vast needs of the people. I believe it is a great profession that would allow me to be a catalyst for change while allowing me to show compassion to people and help them. Saving other people’s lives is a great incentive for me, because I came from coming from a country where people die from contaminated water, lack of food, clothing and less than sanitary conditions in some areas. Once I finish my BSN, I want to pass the knowledge I've learned to others and help those who are in need. I want to be able to help the people of the United States and Africa, especially my country home, Ethiopia. It is sad to see people not getting treatments and dying of disease. I believe completing my degree in nursing will provide me with essential tools to help bring that dream to accomplishment. Apart from my career goals, I want to enjoy life and be a positive influence in my

After getting a respectable amount of experience in a hospital environment, I'd like to become a traveling nurse with the agency, Nurses Without Borders. I would love to help those who are truly in need. Every day I count my blessings and I realize that I am one of few whom have a strong family I can depend on and a stable life. I feel that my life would be meaningless unless I can use it to do good for those who are less fortunate. Being exposed to various cultures, walks of life, and regions, while still being able to care for patients is a dream that I know will come

Introduction: Since I was about ten, I have always wanted to be in the health field. My mother is an R.N and my uncle is a Nephrologist (kidney surgeon). I love the healthcare field and the thought of helping people. Currently I am a C.N.A and my major is nursing. When deciding the person to interview I knew exactly who I wanted. Patty Flym is the Nurse at Amber Glen Nursing home, which happens to

At St. Ignatius of Antioch Catholic Community, my church, there is an annual mission trip to Beaumont, Haiti which I am unable to attend due to age requirements. Two years ago, one of the nurses from my church, Amy, returned from the trip with a story that would change my life forever. She had attended a father and daughter that had traveled 50 miles on foot to find the nearest hospital. The daughter was dying of dehydration and malnutrition. The fact the Amy had revived that young girl was heartwarming and fulfilling even for me. Amy is my inspiration and my idol. We have discussed on numerous occasions of the rewarding as well as the challenging aspects of nursing. But one thing she said stuck with me, "If nursing is your truest passion and

I Don’t remember much of my family when I was little, But I can tell you that I am thankful for the family that I have. At the age of two my mom and dad had to make some tough decisions by leaving me in Nicaragua with my grandmother and grandfather , but I don’t want you to think that my mom and dad did not care about me , about leaving me behind. But the reason behind as why my parents had to make that decision was because of my brother Marco who had a heart decease. That in Nicaragua there wasn’t enough resources to make a heart surgery so they decided to live the country to migrate to THE UNITED STATE so they could do a open heart surgery to my brother, in which my brother did not make it . At the age of five year old I remember sitting in the stairs in front of the house, it was a cloudy day while I was sitting their I recall looking at the sky and thinking about my mom and dad were they could be at the time I was looking at the sky.

My contribution to the mission of the Nurse Corps Program is I am flexible with all situations and excited with the opportunities being offered through this Scholarship program. Personally, by working in an underserved community, I will be able to spend more time getting to know the patients and making sure their needs are taken care of. Compared to the big cities, where patients are constantly admitted and discharged in a quick timely manner, there is not much time in between for the nurses to talk and learn the simple things about their patients. I do not want to have to live up to a quota of seeing so many patients in one day. My goal as a nurse is to provide care, but I want to have time to ponder on the emotions whirling through my patients’

I want to be able to do a lot in my life in the medical field, I want to become an Orthopedic Surgeon because I want to be able to help people. Especially I want to help athletes from injuries, I have had a lot of injuries while playing sports and I know what an athlete must go through. When I was in high school still playing, sports I had three different knee injuries in the same knee and they always got worse. I know that I will be a tremendous asset to your institution because of the first-hand experiences I have had.

One last thing that I would like the admission committee to consider is that I am dedicated to helping everyone. I have spent time everyday during the week for about four years assisting children with disabilities. While this does not directly relate to the nursing field, many of the skills I have acquired from my experiences will greatly assist me in my nursing career. One of those skills is compassion, to fully understand how to help an individual with a disability you must imagine what life is like from their position. Having this skill will allow me to assist patients, and see that they are not just a disease, that they are a person and should be treated as one. These experiences with children with disabilities have taught me to to never

(TS) These days we take our excellent opportunities for medical care for granted, but in some developing countries they don’t have the same privileges. (C) It is very important to me that those in need get the proper health care they deserve, so an important goal of mine would be to provide these nursing services to everyone in third world countries. (E) I would be interested in a nursing internship in these places because many countries in Africa and Central America, for example, don’t have a lot of money for equipment and doctors. Because of the lack of ideal health care, disease and infection spreads easier in these areas, causing more need for hospitals and doctors’ services.
