Personal Statement: I Want To Major In Nursing

I attend Fayetteville State University because of their Nursing Program which has improved of the years they have one of the Top Three Nursing Programs in North Carolina. I want to become a Nurse because I love helping and caring for people which I have did my whole life. Also, my mother inspired me to become a nurse because she wanted to finish school and be a register nurse but did not and I am going to show my mother I can finish college so I can become nurse. The type of nurse I want to be is a Register Nurse because the requirements, responsibility and income. With become a nurse I want to work in a hospital and care for all different types of patient no matter what the illness because I do not disgusted about blood or anything nurse have

I have chosen to become a Registered Nurse because, I like to be challenged, I want situations to be difficult so I can use my skills and knowledge to solve them to the best of my ability. I have the drive and determination to become a nurse and care for others in different situations every day. I want to make a difference in people’s life, and I know being a nurse will help me fulfill this want.

The tasks of a nurse fascinates me; I have had several opportunities to observe nurses in hospitals and I find their work intriguing. I have always been interested in the health field and performing the jobs of a medical professional. Ever since the age of twelve, I have known I wanted to attend a university and pursue a career in the health field. I have always had an interest in my science courses, specifically biology and chemistry and have excelled in these areas. I want to be able to receive the best education possible and make my parents and community proud. I wish to do more for my community than just being a typical nurse and I will be able to do more by becoming a nurse practitioner.

1. My goal with the Masters of Nursing (MN) program is to advance my nursing career into a clinical educator, progressing into leadership roles and eventually to pursue a nurse practitioner certification. Being a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Department(ED) for the past five years, I have had opportunity to participate in peer teaching and teaching nursing students. I have participated in preceptor mentorship workshops and I have learned that I enjoy the educational component of nursing. By pursuing the MN program at Ryerson University, I hope to advance my understanding of research, so I can gear my teaching materials towards evidence based practice.

I want to pursue my health care career in Nursing. I always dreamed of being a nurse, because I enjoy working and caring for people. Ever since I was a little girl I carried a toy stethoscope around and havin my family be my patients. I was not like any other kid, who played with barbies and kenn. My mom even knew I was going to fall in the great path of the health care. My potential is to have the greatest affect on others who are in need of my help. Also, I chose nursing to be my health career, because I have seen the real path of nursing in the real world. Attending a vocational high school, has given me a chance to enter the health assisting program. A four year high school program has put an outrageous affect on me. I learned how to practice

As nurses we all bring our own values and beliefs to the job whether or not we intend to, it happens. I place large amounts of value on family and friends. These are the people you can call on for support. I know that without the support of my mom helping me with my kids and my house work there is no way I could be in the nursing program. Family is often a place when as children we learn and develop our values and beliefs. Giving this deeper thought I can see how this is true for myself. When working with B I would often think about what it would be like to be raised in an unstable environment by a mother who struggles with mental health and addictions. B was often placed in respite foster homes. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to sit down to meal with a strange family how awkward would he have felt. Building on this making connections with people is very important to me. Once I was able to build a connection with B I was able to work with him in a more cohesive way. Making that convection helps to build trust, positive relationships are built on trust. Being a good listener is a skill that I value as a nurse. Not only do I value being a good listener but I also value being heard. I value you a person 's ability to do what they say they are going to do. If you tell a patient that you will return to check in with them in 30 minutes than you need to be sure that you keep your word. When working with clients it is import to me to build on

Why do I aspire to be a nurse? I could name a million and one reasons why I am determined to work my way up to being a Registered Nurse, but one of the main reasons is to help and comfort people in their time of need. When choosing my future profession, my family background made the decision easy. When I was seven months old, my father passed away from an accident, leaving my mother single with three children. In order to make life a little less stressful, we moved to Fresno where my grandparents lived. Unfortunately, when I was seven years old, my mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Being the youngest of three children, I had a hard time understanding why my mom was so sick, but I did what I could to help. My two older brothers were in high school and both had jobs, which left me home with my ill mother. As a seven year old, there is only so much I could do, but I helped her bathe her, emptied her bedpan as well as her vomit pan. Almost a year after being diagnosed, she lost her battle to cancer. While my mom was in the hospital, I was able to see what an impact the nurses had

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.

I want to become a nurse because as a baby I had many difficulties in coming to this world. From being eight months premature and breech, my mother had a hard time giving birth to me. She had to fly from the island of Kauai to Oahu to give birth to me and because I was eight months premature I almost didn't survive. I would not be here today if it weren't for the nurses at Kapiolani Medical Center who took care of me and nursed me into a healthy little baby. These nurses helped me fight for my life and when I was discharged, they gave me a little green doll that I still hold onto until this very day. For this reason, I have the desire to work hard and become the neonatal nurse that I always wanted to be. Being a neonatal nurse will give me the opportunity to

I majored in nursing because when I visit my step grandfather in the nursing home where he lives, I feel like I belong there. I feel like I should be there helping them because helping other people makes me happy.

Since my work experience in an educational environment I have developed a passion for working with children. From working as a teaching assistant in an additional needs school I have been able to work closely with various students, some of which having profound and multiple learning difficulties, I have been fortunate enough to see the work of nurses and medical professionals who care for these children. This has inspired me to pursue a future in the nursing sector. Thanks to my work I have been able to see the small and big developments that each child is able to make.

All my life nurses have surrounded me. My mother was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease while I was in the womb. She spent most of her early motherhood life in a Galveston, TX hospital. I also, in 2006 was diagnosed with cervical cancer and was given the proper care to battle the cancer and become a survivor. The flourishing of my desire for nursing was also very clear when I experienced how to care for another person. My cousin who has different disabilities has been ill since an infant. All her life I have cared for her when I could and met numerous of nurses who are by her side twenty-four seven. The surrounding of nurses and their environment that I have been exposed to, has assured me that this desire I have to further my education in this pathway is the right choice. I hope to attain the proper education to gain closeness to the people in my community through this profession that I have a strong desire for.

I chose nursing as my major for three reasons that are important to me. I have always been interested in the medical field, my own medical history plays a factor in my choice, and I love children.

I chose to be a nurse because this allows me to interact more with people. Nursing is a great profession; it allows people to influence and touch lives. I am willing to obtain this significant responsibility. I am keen to be there for the patients through illness, injury pain, loss, grieving, birth, growth, aging, and health. I consider myself as determined and vigorous. I have the desire and determination to accomplish my goal of being a nurse. I am also thoughtful, caring, and open. I believe that my desire and traits would reflect on me being a nurse and would make me successful one.

I enjoy connecting myself with an individual and learning new things. Sometimes all a person needs is a friend, someone to talk to when feeling down. Working as a nursing assistant at McLeod Regional Medical Center, has taught me the true meaning of “nursing”. The nursing profession is more than just “helping people.” This profession builds relationships and impacts the emotional wellbeing of an individual. I have been given me the opportunity to positively impact patients and the community. I believe continuing my education to become a nurse will allow me to learn from other careers and add to my knowledge.
