Personal Statement Sample For Nursing School

It was my mentor who introduced me to Internal Medicine, a world of limitless possibilities where knowledge and human lives are at constant interplay, encompassing all the aspects of a human being together. The wide expanse of knowledge, the ability to connect to people on a more personal level, the understanding of human emotions and sufferings and the role of clinical judgement in allaying them, all were answers to my questions and in consonance with myself. I feel internal medicine plays a crucial part in forming the base of clinical medicine as a physician is usually the first person that introduces a patient to the medical world. I would watch with pride as a patient was discharged after recovery and became a husband or a brother or someone’s daughter returning to their loved ones. The beauty of internal medicine lies in the fact that not only will I remain a student all my life but play the role of a teacher as well as sometimes even a simple task of educating a patient could help the patient live a healthier life, prevent unnecessary expenses and remove anxiety and stigma associated with diseases.

It has always been truly astonishing how one cell can multiply into thousands. That one cell can cause the depletion and breakdown of your entire immune system and that one cell could be cancerous and lead ultimately to your death. That one cell that turned into many, then turned from ovarian cancer into lastly, Stage 4 breast cancer. That one cell took the life of my late grandmother. But it wasn’t her passing that sparked my interest into research, it was the trialing process of chemotherapy, radiation, and routine intake of medicine and regular doctor visits that triggered my interest into the study of cancer and health. I wanted to know if there were better preventative measures that could have decreased her chances of mortality care but

From the Hoag Hospital career website, I was delighted to learn about the Clinical Nurse I opening in the Emergency Department. I am excited about the possibility of returning to Hoag where I served as a Clinical Care Extender volunteer for two years and became inspired to become the nurse I am today. As a CCE in the Emergency Department, I witnessed cardiac arrests, deaths, traumas, domestic abuse, OB emergencies, psychiatric cases, and pediatric emergencies- all in one department. It is the opportunity to treat patients across the lifespan in a variety of medical situations that makes the Emergency Department so appealing to me. I know my nursing preceptorship experience in the Emergency Department, education, certifications, bilingual skills, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment make me a well-qualified candidate for the position.

I am a nursing student and I work as a certified nurse assistant in a nursing home facility. I realized that there are too many residences in the facility with diabetes and many more prediabetes that don’t know they have the disease yet. Every day I witness the facility’s residences, nurse assistants, and the other employees eat unhealthy foods and snacks that put them in the risk of being prediabetes and then being diabetes. Few months ago, I asked a copy of blood test result of one of my family member from his Doctor’s office. I cached that he was prediabetes (most Doctors do not aware their patient or say anything to the prediabetes person because the patient still does not need any medication). I helped him to skip getting diabetes type 2 diseases with just few simple lifestyles changes and acting on time. I like to help as many people as possible.

My fascination with medicine was truly ignited during freshman year of high school, when I started volunteering at a local hospital. While all my friends slept in late, I was up early every Saturday morning so that I could attend to twenty patients. My job was quite simple: I was in charge of giving every patient new water and linen and communicating any patient needs to the hospital

At some point in life, there will be a time when one explores an idea of issue of personal interest in depth. That’s the real starting point since it marks the beginning of a milestone journey. It will open many new doors in one’s life. Nonetheless, with it come great responsibilities. It might sound stupid, but take a moment to really ponder it. I asked myself, “Why do I want to devote my life to a career in medicine?” The answer lies within my junior year of high school.

My parents have both suffered from diabetes mellitus type 2 for more than 8years now and I'm really thankful to God that it is controlled for both of them. My dad was diagnosed later than my mom in November 2008. He came to pick me from school after finals for my diploma nursing course and I told him he had lost a lot of weight, "many people have told me so" he said reluctantly. I told him I wouldn't go home before we went to the hospital for a general checkup, wasn't easy convincing him but he accepted finally. At the hospital an RBS read HI, so he was admitted for overnight monitoring, after that moment, he still never took condition any serious.

I’ve been interested in the field of nursing since I was a young child. It’s rewarding for both the nurse (they are doing something good to help another person) and the patient (their problems are being solved).

Interest in health care came naturally to me; growing up in a family of 6 physicians and 3 dentists, I was often regaled with heroic stories of my grandfather, aunts and uncles handling complex cases with ease. The admiration conferred upon them roused the impressionable young child in me. I spent much of my childhood at a farm where I witnessed widespread prevalence of habits such as tobacco chewing; it was considered almost normal to have poor oral hygiene, and people would only go to a dentist when in pain. Before long, I was irrevocably drawn to the imperative, albeit overlooked, field of oral health. Added to this, in my adolescence, I underwent orthodontic treatment under a kind gentleman, who instilled in me the gravity of oral health, especially in terms of its social and general-health-related aspects. I would frequently visit his clinic hoping to observe an artist at work, for I was awed by the intricacies of the myriad treatments he rendered. At this point, I worked hard and maintained a staunch belief in my calling, which resulted in my securing a much-coveted dental merit seat.

Personal circumstances have played a great role in choosing medicine as my career pursuit. My family, in particular, has not been without influence on this decision. My dad, now a nurse practitioner, was still in school when I was younger and so I grew up around the influence of his books and study materials as well as stories from his time working at the hospital. I, of course, did not understand any of it; in fact, I suffered nightmares for several nights after I came across pictures of tumors in one of his Pathophysiology books. Nevertheless, the seeds were planted and my interests slowly gravitated toward the field of science and a career in medicine. The reason why I am choosing to become a physician in particular is because I am interested in playing a more central role in shaping the structure of the care a patient receives. Furthermore, the gratification and honor of being a healer is utterly

Conversing with medical professionals and aspiring medical professionals, I am constantly reminded of the reasons why I would like to become a physician. These conversations remind me of the many selfless acts that are made on a daily basis to improve the quality of life for another human-being. I remember the sense of wonder I felt when, as a child, I accompanied my mother at her job as a nurse before attending elementary school in the mornings. While medicine has always been an interest of mine, it is now with deep determination, as well as gratification, that I have come to realize my ambition—to become a physician.

Working at the hospital from July to December 2008 allowed me to become familiar with the work of the doctors I was assisting. Their work covered the spectrum of clinical medicine, ranging from pediatrics to cardiac surgery. Many were gracious enough to discuss the details of their work with me. Observing and speaking with doctors allowed me to form a more complete appreciation of the many roles a physician must fill on a daily basis. I was truly excited I found the clinical aspects of the profession: the way physicians interacted with patients, and the genuine appreciation those patients showed for their attention. I learned that many physicians' research interests developed due to the observations they made within their clinical practice. Whether they were motivated to explain something they could not understand, or to improve the quality of the care they provided, or to develop evidence to support their treatment or approach, their research was always directly linked to real people in the real world. The physicians I met believed their success depended on marrying

“What do you want to be when you grow up, Caleb?” My first-grade teacher has never let me forget my response, “ First I’m going to be a fighter pilot, then when I get old, I’ll be a doctor, pharmacist, and a physical therapist.” Although this childish fantasy was slight overkill, my passion for the field of medicine has remained steadfast. Though many have an unrivaled fear of the doctor’s office, visits to a physician have fascinated me since a very young age, finding the visits to be educational and fulfilling. As an adolescent, I watched my pediatrician perform various procedures. I watched as he gave me injections, sutures and examinations. I was amazed with the confidence, knowledge and compassion my pediatrician seemed to possess. Through personal interactions, job experiences, and shadowing I have learned many ideals needed to become a successful allopathic physician: to never give up on my dreams, to never settle for second best, to be dedicated to work hard, to overcome adversity, to cherish my integrity, and most importantly to love people.

By joining a well reputed medical school, I made my every step count towards attaining my dream goal of being a physician. On one end school provided me with vital education and imbibed in me the culture of continuous learning, application, and improvisation of clinical knowledge and on other end the compulsory rotation at state hospital provided much needed practical exposure to real life circumstances.

When I was a little kid, visiting the hospital was not unusual for me because I was always sick. I frequently noticed that the waiting lines at the hospital were very long. I often had to wait hours before I could receive any treatment. Seeing myself and all of the other patients suffering in the waiting queue, I asked myself, why could not I become a doctor and help myself and all those in need? Since then, becoming a doctor is part of my dream. Around the age of ten, I discovered the Bergen County Academies through many references
