Although nursing is rewarding no matter the setting, I found working with veterans to be one of the most rewarding personally. In the early part of my nursing career, I moved from Indiana to Tennessee and finally to my home state Kentucky due to family considerations, therefore I did not buy my first home until my early 40’s. Working in a nursing home is difficult physically and emotionally, but I was committed to my patients and I enjoyed my interactions with them.

Throughout an individual’s career in nursing, ongoing professional development is vital to provide successful evidence based, person centered practice. The NMC (2015, p. 17) states that all nursing professionals have a responsibility to continuously update their skills and knowledge, this is a lifelong process. Additionally, registered nurses have a duty to ensure that students and colleagues are supported to progress with professional development (NMC, 2015 p. 9). This emphasises the significance for student nurses to develop an understanding of the underpinning preferences of their own learning styles alongside the learning theories to support their knowledge.

I sincerely believe that the University of Wisconsin will provide me the skills necessary to fully pursue my professional ambitions.
