Personal Statement Of Purpose To Become A Nurse

In the near future, I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree from East Carolina University. Guiding my ultimate nursing goals is my love for children. As a mother already, I have learned and immensely enjoyed my journey with my six-year-old child thus far. However, I would love to expand my knowledge on the unique needs of the pediatric patient population. The pediatric patient population is very diverse, due to the various stages of life within this populace. In the near future, I hope to expand my understanding and experience with pediatric patients through becoming a registered nurse on a pediatric nursing unit within a hospital. However within ten years, my goal is to become a school nurse. This being said, there is an extensive field of knowledge and training I will need to gain in order to achieve my ultimate nursing goal of serving all children in their medical and developmental needs.

Choosing a major has been one of the most difficult challenges I have faced as a student. While many students select their major based upon statistics and ideals, I base my decision primary on my strong commitment and my passion. Furthermore, I have learned that a major should encompass your love, talents, and desire for success in that subject. Forensic Chemistry wasn’t my first choice. When I first came to Grambling State University my major was nursing. I wanted to be a nurse ever since I was little, my mother is a nurse so I been around that environment all my life. My plan was to graduate from Grambling State University with a Bachelor degree in nursing. Then go to a community college to get my certification in forensic science to become

I chose nursing as my profession because of the ability to legitimately make a difference in people’s lives. As a nurse, I know that I’d be affecting other people’s lives not only inside of the hospital, but also outside of the hospital. Inside the hospital, I’d be able to interact with and assist patients to a better state of well-being. The ability to interact with patients on a day-to-day basis is a one of the many reasons I chose nursing; I’d very much like a career where I am always interacting with others. I enjoy expanding my knowledge of the world around me, and I feel that these day-to-day interactions would allow my view on the world to grow because I’d be in constant communication with patients of all kinds. Outside of the hospital, I’d be able to give to the community the knowledge that I know regarding health care that people can use within their own homes and for themselves, and I feel that these little things learned can really go a long way.

After high school, I am planning to transfer to a four-year university. I would like to get the necessary degree to become a pediatrician. Sometimes thing do not always go as planned and you must have a backup plan. If I do not end up going to four-year university, I plan on going to a community college to a get a job where a major degree is not needed. I would probably go to a community college to become a certified nursing assistant. I would want to become a CNA because my dream would be to work in the medical field.

Degree Objective: PMHNP A graduate degree from Kent State University will allow me to pursue my goal of practicing as a Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. As my nursing practice has developed over the years, my desire to continually advance my knowledge and become an increasingly effective practitioner has feverishly grown. I have taken my time and developed a solid foundation for my nursing practice. I feel the time has come to grow from that foundation.

When most potential nurses answer the question of “Why do you want to be a nurse?”, the answer is more than likely “I would like to be able to help others”. This is accurate in value, but each response has a personal rational. As a caregiver and a Nursing Assistant, I have learned the raw nature of helping others in need. I deal with clients and families at their lowest moments in life and at their highest. I find that caring and showing compassion for others in need gives me a great sense of joy and accomplishment that I take pride in.

I discovered my obsession with newborns quickly, I loved to hold and care for them. I knew that I wanted to be in a hospital setting taking care of newborns, but I didn't know the exact name of the health care workers in that position. Once, I pointed to the lady carrying my newborn baby brother into the nursery, saying “I want to be that”. Later I did some research and learned about neonatal nurses and I stuck with that. That's what I want to be in five years. Becoming a nurse is more of an inspiration than an interest, growing up I saw my aunts as nurses. I knew what I wanted to be early.

I want to major in nursing because I’ve come from a strong family of women who’ve taught me to always treat others great and you will be treated better. I have a big heart I believe helping anyone I can it means I’m also bettering the world. As a nurse I know I will meet people on some of worst and best days of their lives and I want to be the person that comforts them, that can bring a smile to their tired exhausted faces. I know the world at the moment needs people that are willing to go the extra mile for another and I know I’m that person. As a nurse I will be making huge difference in people’s lives, By watching my grandmother who was a nurse for over 25 years I saw first hand what it was like to be in love with your career. Although often

My grandpa was always in and out of hospitals when I was younger. He would always talk about how nice the nurses were, and how much they had done for him to make his stay in hospitals actually be somewhat pleasant. They got anything he needed and did their best to make the family comfortable as well. I knew I wanted to help people in my future career, and my experience helping my grandfather furthered my passion for wanting to become a nurse. I thought taking a CNA class my senior year would give me a head start in the nursing career, but instead, it made me have doubts about becoming a nurse.

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’m going to go to community college to get my associates degree in nursing chose nursing because I love to take care of people and to be around them I want to become an Rn at Kaiser Hospital because they are a big company and a lot of people go there to get taken care of. I mainly love kids that’s why I’m doing it.

Helping people, or connecting to people even in their most vulnerable state has always been enjoyable for me. I have always been an empathetic person, putting others needs before my own. Because of this, I plan on furthering my education by attending a four-year college and pursue a major in nursing. This will help me better my skills in the long term and enable me to do something that I will enjoy. Although, one can’t deny how hard it is to obtain a degree in nursing but I believe that in life, the sky’s the limit and no matter how difficult our aspirations are, we should truly aim for them.

Prior to my sophomore year I was honestly clueless of what I wanted to do, but as soon as I discovered that I wanted a career in the medical field I intended to do anything I could that would help me achieve my goal that is to first become a Registered Nurse. I took more vigorous classes, classes that would help my career, as well as by doing running start.

“There is no human that ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail, recover, and improve, the better you are as a person.” This quote, by Chris Hardwick, helped drive my motivation to succeed despite failing multiple times. During the summer of 2015, I completed the Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Excited to begin a new chapter in my life, I submitted numerous applications to employers that were actively hiring. Unaware of the meaning of my status as a newly graduated individual on the market, I applied for mid-level manager positions with very little work experience. During this time, I had just one year of health care experience from working at Walgreen’s Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and Baptist Health Systems as a Patient Access

The first word that comes to mind when I think of nurses is hard work. This is because nurse’s continuity have to work hard in their education and career. According to a family friend of mine, Heather, who has worked in the psych ward for 20+ years it is anything but ‘easy’. She told me the implications of what it really means to be a nurse. The 12 hour shifts on your feet, the staggering amount of bodily fluids you are working with and covered in, and of course tough patients. However, at the very end of her tangent she said “at the end of the day you do make a difference in the world. Nurse's play an important role in healthcare, they are the support of the hospital. They are a part of an assembly line that provides patients the care they need. According to a yearly conducted survey, nurses are one of the top three trusted professionals. There is a reason why people trust nurses far more than doctors. Nurses create a stable environment and are more interactive with patients. They are the foundation of all that is good and efficient in the hospitals. I want to be deserving of someone’s trust, I find it honorable. I can truly see myself as a nurse because I have strayed away from nursing in pursuit of other ambitions and have went back to nursing.
