Pursuing My Master's Or Doctorates Degree In Nursing

Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.

My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

At St. Ignatius of Antioch Catholic Community, my church, there is an annual mission trip to Beaumont, Haiti which I am unable to attend due to age requirements. Two years ago, one of the nurses from my church, Amy, returned from the trip with a story that would change my life forever. She had attended a father and daughter that had traveled 50 miles on foot to find the nearest hospital. The daughter was dying of dehydration and malnutrition. The fact the Amy had revived that young girl was heartwarming and fulfilling even for me. Amy is my inspiration and my idol. We have discussed on numerous occasions of the rewarding as well as the challenging aspects of nursing. But one thing she said stuck with me, "If nursing is your truest passion and

My sister was at hospitals and doctors offices a lot during this time of her life. Now, I recognize that without the skilled medical professionals tending to my sister, she would not be here today. People of the medical world have always amazed me and have had my respect. because of the experience my family has been through, I now want to become a registered nurse. Since realizing my career path I have taken the first steps toward my nursing degree and started taking prerequisite classes for my local junior college nursing program.

My name is Alexis Leann Guthrie and I am 21 years old. Recently, I completed my associates of arts degree at Jones County Junior College. I am currently enrolled in my first semester of nursing school at the University of Southern Mississippi. As a transfer student, I have experienced many changes in this past month. I have a goal to graduate this nursing program and go back to school to earn my Nurse Practitioner degree. My first year at Jones County Junior College, I was a Pre-med major. After many prayers and job shadowing, I felt that God was leading me to become a nurse. In this paper, I want to tell you about my own personal nursing philosophy as a beginner-nursing student.

In your nursing career or personal life, have you volunteered your services? If so, please describe the facility and your experience. If not, why?

My academic goals include passing all of my prerequisites classes for nursing with an A. Gaining enough knowledge to be an expert in a nursing field. Then, I plan on applying into the nursing program at Valencia. I have chosen to get my Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) over accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) simply for the cost aspect, it is much cheaper. Choosing to get my BSN first would put me in tons of debt. The cost of school is very expensive and I do not want to go into debt for my education. So, if I get an Associate’s Degree and become an RN most hospitals offer tuition reimbursement. They have a program where they will pay for you to go back to school because it makes them look like a better hospital. It kind of helps everyone get further into school and it

My passion for healing others actually started with an accident. When I was a kid, my brother got a terrible cut and instead of telling my mom that he needed help, I attempted to take matters into my own hands and offer my own medical treatment to him. At the time, I felt like the best way to make sure that the bleeding would stop was to apply warm water onto his cut with a cloth, however, the water that I used had actually been boiling and I didn’t check the temperature before applying it directly to my brother’s open wound. Needless to say, my brother’s pain only got worse and my payment for my medical treatment was a spanking from my mother. Fortunately, my brother survived the treatment with just a memorable scar, but it was this lack in judgment that ignited something within me; it wasn’t a fear of helping others, like one might believe, but a want to learn the proper way to help others and how to implement effective medical procedures and treatments.

In May of 2015, I completed my nursing degree from the accredited nursing program at Carteret Community College with an Associate in Applied Science in Nursing. My dedication and hard work to my studies can be seen through my three year membership in the Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. As a new graduate in the nursing field, my objective is to grow and engage in the knowledge and expertise of my chosen profession. I am very flexible and eager to begin utilizing my newly acquired degree. Therefore, please considered my resume for the Transition to the Practice New Nursing Resident Program at Carteret Health Care.

Ever since I was young, I have wanted to work in the medical field. Being blessed with the heart for healing was a gift, and my family helped nurture that gift. My grandmother would let me “doctor” her cuts and scrapes‒ that came from her life on a farm‒ with a cotton ball of alcohol and a couple dozen band aids. By the time I got to high school, I knew that nursing was the job for me. Going to Evangel gives me the opportunity to become a Registered Nurse. Then, to continue my education even after earning my Bachelors in Nursing, I want to go on to get my masters in nursing. Becoming a Nurse Practitioner is my goal, due to the fact, it s perfect for my true calling, being a mom. I want to be able to spend time with my family, meanwhile being able to maintain a good job.

I am an Registered Nurse with over twenty years of experience in the medical field. I am now 42 years old. I have enjoyed every moment of my nursing career. I have traveled and learned a great deal from my experiences as a nurse. The past seven years I have been a nurse manager in a smaller institution, which has allowed me the opportunity of serving several additional job duties to increase my overall business skills. I would benefit greatly from a business degree and learning the financial aspect of the business. Most recently , I have taken the additional role of purchasing for my surgery center. I previously also did payroll. With a business degree, I could continue to advance my career in administration as well as open the possibility of opening my own

I will graduate with a bachelor's degree of nursing and I will begin my career and the rest of my life to live. The Sisters of Mercy committed to doing so many acts of kindness for others because they cared. That is why I want to be a nurse to help others, I want to help those who are sick and heal the wounds of others, whether they are emotionally, physically, or mentally wounded. I feel as though, it’ll be a rewarding feeling waking up everyday knowing that I’m going to change someone’s life. Other than my career as a nurse I will make time to do my due diligence for my community. My compassion for others will serve me well as a nurse and I will make it my duty to live by the critical concerns of mercy to be a distinctive mercy

While roaming through life’s path, have you ever found yourself trapped between two directions? This happens too frequently, but there are those who remain trapped and there are those who advance. I chose to be happy, in spite of the many challenges. I motivated myself to fight, even though it meant to feel weak. The person, who I am now, will never be who I was before. I have learned that true beauty doesn’t rely on faking a smile, but having reasons to smile and to dream. As a student, I have many goals, but my ultimate goal is to help people. Although I am limited in resources, I know that I can be well prepared to assist others. I strive to become a pediatric nurse, to not only work with children but their family as well. “For my purpose is not to be served, but to serve others”.

Since I was in grade school I always had a dream of going to college and becoming a doctor. I pushed myself to maintain an “A average” and continued to be involved in sports and school activities. Both my personal and professional lifetime goals in life are to provide and offer true love and compassion for humanity. With my goal of obtaining a nursing degree is extremely important to me as it would allow me the opportunity to fulfill my career goals and desires.

The field of nursing is constantly changing and growing in order to facilitate the needs of the public. To address these challenges, obtaining an advanced education can lead to better outcomes and health care promotion in nursing. According to the National League for Nursing (2012), a baccalaureate prepared nurse is provided information on how to apply the skills needed to function as a registered nurse, advocate for the safety and quality of care provided to patients and their families in the community, and promotes clinical inquiry by analyzing research and promoting best practice through evidence-based outcomes (p. 39). The master’s prepared nurse advances the skills learned as a baccalaureate nurse in order to provide leadership and foster a healthy environment in a variety of positions and surroundings. Greater
