Personal Statement For Mental Health Nursing

I have chosen to enter the field of Mental Health Counseling at this particular time in my life because I would like to learn the skills needed to help people with their life and mental health issues. While attending the University of Saint Joseph during my undergraduate years I took various courses that have led me to making my decision. The courses I took focused on business, biology, social work, and psychology. After graduation I decided to take a year off and gain work experience in customer service and health care. I wanted to experience working with the people in my community. I was hired as a pharmacy technician at a Walgreens in Vernon. Working as a pharmacy technician has been a very rewarding experience for me and I learned a lot about people and their unique needs. I also learned about patient care and how to be pacient and understanding under stressful situations.

I am inspired to embark on this path because I want to gain an in depth understanding within the Learning Disability and Mental Health field for example professional aspects of care, biological basis for health and well being, identifying knowledge for nursing practice, origins and expressions of Mental Health and wellbeing, I want to be able to carry out the tasks of providing care and support for people with mental in capabilities, knowing that I am doing so with the full comprehension and grasp of what each patient needs.

For ten years my parents sheltered me from the truth about my Grandfather’s suicide. The day he died is a blur, but I remember our afternoons together in his garden reading books he brought home from the library he worked at, and evenings eating Chinese food and watching ice skating—two of his favorite things. Finding out he committed suicide left me with myriad questions. As I matured my desire for understanding intensified. Drawn to human behavior and the mechanisms that affect it, I applied to the University of California at Berkeley as a Psychology major. In the summer prior to beginning my studies Anthony killed himself.

The ambition to study for a degree in Mental Health Nursing has developed from my teenage years, as well as my experience of working in the health care profession. For approximately four years, I have worked in a Forensic Mental Hospital for individuals with criminal convictions who are too mentally unwell to be in prison. My time in my current work place has given me distinct insight into the variety of mental health problems individuals can suffer from, and has become one of the main inspirations behind my career choice. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges mental health nurse's face, but also a great awareness of the satisfaction and achievement to be found in being able to help patients live a more normal life, to achieve some stability in their daily existence and to maintain their dignity as human beings. I am aware that in the mental health degree course there is a lot of clinical practice, which I feel I have gained experience for during my employment. The variety in the job is very appealing to me, and the prospect of developing more skills to help those who are seriously troubled is very rewarding.

My initial interest in nursing began from my experience with my grandmother. It was in the fall of 2007 when my grandmother was sent to the hospital due to hypernatremia. My dad would pick me up every afternoon from school to visit my grandmother. I was given the responsibility to look after my grandma for nearly two weeks that includes in feeding her, assisting her, and other light duties. What fascinate me during my visits in the hospital were the nurses who assisted and took care of my grandma. They treated my grandma with dignity, kindness, compassion, courtesy, respect, understanding, and love. Their commitment, professionalism, dedication, determination and skills inspired me to pursue a career in the medical field. From that point, I realized that nursing is a field that enables people impact other people’s lives and make a difference. At 9 years old, being a nurse was a childhood dream and now I am at the point of turning my dream into reality. I want to study and pursue my dream registered nursing at Ryerson University that offers a nursing degree program that focuses on developing student’s critical thinking skills, ability to analyze reflectively and apply theory through community health focused practice making Ryerson one of the best nursing schools in Canada.

Nursing is a career which I believe that needs to come from the heart and I have at all times appreciated with respect. My aim in doing my education in nursing was because I always wanted to achieve an extended and successful profession in the health and medical field. I suppose the responsibilities of a nurse can be very demanding and frantic in certain instances but nothing can be equal to the joy and satisfaction it brings. There are many specialized areas in the field of nursing but I was particular interested in the mental health field. I have had a chance to experience mental healths nursing during one of my placements .There are a few goals which I would like to achieve within the next

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 firmly believe in myself, in my capabilities, in my skills, in my character, and in my integrity. I also firmly believe in my abilities to achieve my educational and personal goals. I intend to achieve my goal of receiving Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I will pursue this area of study in college, focusing on the necessary course work.

I started my career working in finance before moving on to train as a leaning disabilities nurse and social work.I qualified as a Registered social worker in July 2008 with BSc (Hons) Social Work and Nursing (First Class), from London South Bank University.I am Registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Social Worker and Registered with the NMC as Registered Nurse (RGLD) .I also hold a Masters Degree in Health Research with focus on Mental Health from Lancaster University.

I am a Mental Health Registered Nurse (RN) and being a Registered Nurse can be a stressful job, especially if you end up working overtime. If you decide to become a Mental Health Registered Nurse you are going to have to learn about the Education Requirements, Necessary Skills, The Salary, Job Duties and Job Benefits. When you are college you will need to take classes and learn until you have earned a Bachelor's degree or a Master’s degree. (Most hospitals prefer Master’s) According to allnursingschools.com “Committing to a master's degree program takes dedication, but it can have a huge impact on your nursing success in the form of new opportunities, from higher pay.” So getting a Master’s can benefit you in the future financially and

As the future quickly ahead of me is being planned I have already come to the conclusion that becoming a Nurse Practitioner is what my heart most desires. A nurse practitioner is a person that is taught to utilize their critical thinking skills with advanced academic learning in order to take care of others by making clinical desicion making as it pertains to emotional, mental and physical being .This includes giving them medical instructions to specific or general illnesses to follow at home and through out the managing of their chronic illnesses. Furthermore, reasearching to become a nurse has been enlightening and prior to this course I was not aware that there were many specialities that I could select from such as Genetics, Geriatric, Pediatrics, Addiction, Neonatology , Rehab. Depending on the specificity of the areas of health the requirements for a higher education are

I am writing to express my interest in the Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Walden University. I have completed my application with all of the necessary information included.

I am eager to pursue a career in which is challenging but rewarding, becoming a paediatric nurse would allow me to fulfil this aspiration. Nursing is a career for those who are reliable, empathetic, patient and know how to develop a connection with a patient emotionally as well as their family through difficult times. I have these skills and I truly want to make a difference in a patient's life. In the NHS, the role of a nurse is changing every day, as nurses are getting opportunities to become more involved in the responsibility of patients well-being and health and to become more specialised in different areas such as chemotherapy, surgery, clinical and much more. In studying for a degree in paediatric nursing I am inspired to make most of these opportunities to further my career.

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.

Adult nursing is a lifelong learning career which I have been drawn to since I was young. My mum is a registered nurse and I’ve always admired what she’s done. I would like to apply for this course as I want to help, not only emotionally but medically. I think that these two approaches have to go hand in hand when dealing with patients in care. It is an extremely challenging and demanding career that can be rewarding and satisfying. I am very attracted to the profession as I’ve always had an interest in caring for people and be keen on the thought of working in a large hospital environment where I can be involved in the hands on medical treatment of patients. Working in a large hospital promises a stimulating work environment and there are
