Personal Statement: A Career As A Nurse

I cannot attribute my desire of becoming a nurse to following the footsteps of a family member, nor caring for a sick family member as I was growing up. I am a first generation high school student, furthermore, a college graduate. I became a mother at the very young age of sixteen. Being so young and growing up without the care of my parents, it was always said I, too, would end up in a rough situation and not be able to care for my child being so young myself. I continued out my days and nights being a high school teen mom. I graduated from high school in three years by attending night school while I was pregnant; allowing me to finish school sooner and obtain a better job that would allow me to take care of my son.

My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

The nursing field gives a person the opportunity to work with and care for elderly, sick, and injured patients. I want to join the registered nurse team because they take on multiple medical settings. Registered nurses are known as RNs. They are responsible for multiple things. Being a RN has a lot of responsibility. The topics I will be covering are: job description, specialties, trends, salary, benefits, and required trainings. These are essential things that a person needs to know before going into nursing school.

Since I can remember I have always had a compassion and natural desire to care for my fellow man. Now having this opportunity, I remain committed to this task. During my nursing career as a Registered Nurse, I allow myself time to grow clinically and to expose myself to a variety of health care emergency situations which continues to be very valuable to me in strengthening my career. It is very fortunate that I have the opportunity to be in a position to where I am today.

My lifetime goal is to become a Registered Nurse since I was 18 years old, but, unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to go college, but to go to a technical school and get a medical assistant degree. Since then, I worked in many different doctors’ office in Florida as a Medical Assistant until 2 years ago when I met my husband and moved to Maryland. Luckily, with my husband's support, I have been having the opportunity to go back to school and continue my education.

Growing up my mother worked as a nurse which consequently built a strong respect as well as admiration for the profession. However, up until the day I left for college I never considered this career for me. As a last resort I made checklist to try and determine the major that best fit my aspirations for the future. Nursing immediately jumped out at me and since then I have been infatuated with the goal of becoming a nurse.

Even with GHS being a competitive healthcare delivery system committed to medical excellence through clinical care, education, and research, I believe I have much to offer to your company. I am writing this letter in regards to my interest in the registered nurse position available at GMMC Subacute Unit that I applied for on the website, Indeed. I am a hardworking candidate with the skills and concepts required to contribute to the patient care at your healthcare facility.

First, let’s begin by stating that my expectation of a nurse is that he or she must be a good communicator, empathetic, patient and have good physical endurance. I feel that I exemplify these qualities which would make me successful as nurse in the future. As a little girl growing up, I have always dreamed of becoming a nurse. As a young adult, I continue to have the desire so I can help people through some of their most vulnerable times. Also my passion to become a nurse evolves from past experiences that have dramatically impacted my life: for example, my father’s death, my illness, and my personal interaction with nurses.

I remember sitting in my advising meeting with my guidance counselor in high school talking about my Senior Packet. One of the questions she had asked me was “What do you want to be?” I remember answering her confidently and saying “I want to be a neonatal nurse.” For as long as I could remember, I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother telling me about the amazing nurses that took care of me while I was a premature baby was so inspiring. I knew that I wanted to help people and work with babies. After getting rejected from every nursing program I applied to my senior year of high school I knew that my dream of becoming a nurse was going to be very difficult.

According to Christine Belle “Our job as nurses is to cushion the sorrow and celebrate the job every day, while we are ‘just doing our jobs.’ ”. My goal is to become one of those nurses. I have thought long and hard, and have taken into consideration many other careers, but I feel nursing is what I was born to do and that it is the right career path for me. There may be a lot of college and challenges ahead of me, but in the end all the hard work will pay off. Although many people think nursing is dirty, difficult, and disheartening, I believe it is the best for me because I enjoyed health as a child, the outlook for nursing is good, and I have some experience in the healthcare field already.

While growing up, I always dreamt about helping people and making a difference. As I got older I realized that becoming a nurse would allow me to do those things, and that it is something I would want to do for the rest of my life. Although, I have been set on being a nurse most of my life, two major events happened afterwards that reassured me that I could not take on any other career but nursing. I lost two very important people in my life and because of them, I want to continue on my path to becoming a nurse, to make a difference and save the lives that I can.

Being a nurse requires more than theoretical and clinical knowledge, it also requires passion and love to people. Being a nurse is an opportunity, opportunity to make a better quality of life for other people. To become a nurse is what I always wanted since I was a kid because I have seen nurses bringing back people to life and having the opportunity to welcome new life to the world.

I chose to go into nursing because I had taken a sports medicine class in high school I enjoyed, and I thought I would be guaranteed a job graduating that had something to do with medicine. I can remember being so excited to learn how about illnesses and medications, and all the difference procedures done in the hospital. At the time I thought a nurse’s job was to do what the physicians said, and I expected set guidelines that would tell me what I was and wasn’t allowed to do. I had no idea that I was entering onto a career path involving so much complexity, and that the skills I had dreamed of learning were such a small part of nursing in comparison to the emotional, decision making, and critical thinking skills that a nursing career

My goal in life is to continue my education towards becoming a labor and delivery nurse. As an elementary aged little girl, I’d sway back and forth on what I wanted to be when I grew up. One day, I wanted to be a firefighter and the next day I’d decided that I wanted to be a sign language interpreter, which were both my parent’s professions. Anything to be like mom and dad! I ran around the house with my fisher price stethoscope and first-aid kit and asked if I could check-up on anyone and everyone. Nowadays, when I think of who a nurse would be, it is exactly what fits my personality. A calming, comforting friend to whomever they are around. I am passionate about helping people, and love the health aspect of the medical field. Growing up, I was heavily influenced by nurses in my family who talked highly of their profession. Their lifestyles of working and having families of their own at the same time could be achieved. Flexibility in schedules, comradery in the workplace and comfortable attire were surface level perks as I began my research into this career. When my grandpa got admitted into the hospital this fall after a heart attack however, my idea of why I wanted to go into this profession shifted. Emotions were flooding and at an all time high as I quickly wanted to help in any way possible. I felt helpless and was so grateful for the nurse who stayed by his side aiding him in anything and everything. The one thing in my life I
