Personal Statement: A Career As A Nurse

Having the mind and determination to become successful isn’t an easy task. Success isn’t considered a gift, it should be a hard task to achieve and it matters how it is accomplished. Success

We as human beings all strive for success. We use success as a measure of everyday life.

I aspire to become a nurse through the wonderful BSN program at California Baptist University. Why I aspire to be a nurse is because I want to be a useful person in this world. There are very few careers where you can have such a tremendous impact on someone's life every day. Working hard to make a difference in people's lives who are in need. Also health sciences is a topic that really interest me, learning about the human body and how we function is very fascinating. I hope to reach my highest potential in education with the help of California Baptist University.

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.

Many people try and many people have failed. Everyone hopes to succeed in something, whether it be anything from sports to seminary, school, or just life. Every day there are people who invent things, they try over and over again until it works out. There are many successful people in this world and they didn’t get there easily. Success is something earned not given, and comes with trial and error.

I come from a loving and supportive family that has always encouraged me to work hard and if I do, I will be able to achieve anything I desire. I was taught to reach for the stars and to pursue my dreams. I am a true believer in setting goals, staying focused, and being persistent to achieve all I aspire: to be a CTO or CIO in corporate America.

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.

I don’t know what life may have for me or what hard situations I might go through in the future but I do know one thing right now and is that no matter what circumstances I’ll go through life I will always do my best at succeeding because is better to try your best and fail, than to do nothing and still fail. Like Dweck says on her article: “No one succeeds in a big way without enormous amounts of dedication and

I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older and looked at many choices in careers I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body along with other great opportunities that nurses have in this career. I want to become a nurse because I like being able to help those who are in need.

Personal success is defined by how content and enjoyable your life is. That is not to say that challenges and disappointments aren’t included in this. A rich, eventful and challenging life doing what you enjoy and positively affecting others seems to me to be just about right. Find a job you love and you’ll never work another day in your life. I know I won’t. In my

My calling to nursing started when my father got diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015. I watched him suffering through radiation and chemotherapy, but what got him through those hard times was the help of some great loving and caring nurses. As I became more involved in taking care of him, my passion for nursing had greatly increased. Now, for nine years, I have maintained a commitment to caring for others in the field of Nursing. Being a registered nurse (RN), I have taken care of one patient at a time, which I have been involved in the amelioration of lives, and have only been left wanting to give and do more. Pursuing a master of science in nursing (MSN) is more than just a logical or natural progression for my career. It is a life choice, one that is backed by highly refined clinical judgments and in-depth exposure to an array of set-ups, and levels of care. In this personal statement, I will deeper highlight an explanation of my career goals, the reasons for my choice of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialization, and lastly the reason for pursuing an advanced degree in nursing.

I am a very dedicated person. Those who don’t know me might think that since I am in so many extra-curricular activities, there is no way I can give my full attention to each. However, that is not the case. I work extremely hard to do my best in everything I do. These activities have also helped me with my time management. Balancing work and school isn’t too bad, but adding in religious activities as well as community service can be tough. I have worked hard my entire high school career so that I can succeed in college as well as experience everything in high school that there is. Even though I can be stressed out at times, I always try my best to help others and be kind to them because they could be in the same situation as me or

In the sixth grade I recall being in the hospital and having an immense curiosity for my surroundings. Every aspect from the various noises emitting from the medical machines around me to the hardworking staff caught my attention. The nurse helping my family that day gave me valuable advice and answered all my questions regarding what it was like working in a hospital. At that moment, my interest was sparked and I knew I wanted to study medicine. Throughout high school, I began to narrow down that idea and came to the conclusion that I wanted to become a nurse.

We all have struggles in life but we can all overcome them. “ You may see me struggle, but you will never see me quit “ , “ The secret to our success is to never, never give up “ , All throughout high school i will remind myself to NEVER give up because if i give up trying to accomplish my goal then i won't be successful in life or not have the career i want. One of my strengths is working independently. Me working hard will help me finish my work and will help me finish school with good grades, graduate high school maybe with a diploma and the diploma will help my future by getting to choose a college that will help me properly get ready for my future career.

Throughout my life, I’ve realized my definition of success has been through achieving my goals to serve others and ultimately never stop learning. My work ethic and character traits have contributed to reaching my goals in high school and will prepare me for the future.
