Registered Nurse Personal Statement

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner Student (FNP) at Frontier Nursing University (FNU). My passion to care for people was evident when I was growing up and I knew I wanted to become a nurse and care for the sick when I cared for my grandmother who was not feeling well. After high school, I started my career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CAN) and worked with the elderly population which I really enjoyed. I worked as a CNA as I enrolled to school and earned my Associate degree in nursing in 2011. As an RN, I continued to work in a nursing home and rehab facility with the elderly as I decided to pursue my BSN. Upon completion of my BSN I found a job at a hospital in cardiac telemetry heart failure unit where I enjoy working as I care for people.

I completed my adult nursing degree. I began my nursing career in 2014 in primary care as a community nurse. I have continuously undertaken courses to improve my skill and knowledge in caring for patients. This has empowered me to deliver holistic evidence based care to patients in the community. I have continued to professionally update my practice and have developed comprehensive portfolio.

When I became a nurse I knew I wanted to work in medicine dealing with patients suffering with chronic illness; I suffer from my own chronic illness known as Beta Sickle Thalassemia. Throughout the years my interaction with the Nurse practitioner in my Hematology/ Oncology has been enlightening. It has allowed me to see how I can be the driving force and a change agent for patients that suffer from chronic illness just like my own. For as long as I can remember I have always had a natural compassion for anyone in pain or discomfort whether physically or mentally. This empathy and compassion has trickled into the care I provide for my own patients and allows me to provide the best patient centered care I possibly can.

Being a nurse not only means compassion, dedication, and intelligence, but the profession also requires endurance, personal sacrifice, and the need for continuous education. I have learned that nurses are some of the most caring and selfless people that anyone will ever meet. Nurses are more than willing to complete challenging tasks and care for others in a way that the majority of people are unwilling to. I am driven to bring all of these qualities into my role as a future nurse practitioner, which is why I am committed to pursuing my Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP).

I am very interested in a role that will allow me to utilize my educational training and caring and nursing skills in a way that will give the patients a chance to live happily and comfortable. I commenced University in 2013 and I am due to complete a bachelor of nursing degree through La Trobe University in November this year

For as long as I can remember, or since the first time I met a nurse, I knew that was what I wanted to do. I have always held a great deal of respect for those who care for others in their time of need, and sacrifice their own emotional health to be strong for someone else, when they could not be strong for themselves. For several years my fear of being unsuccessful held me back from pursuing this dream, until I decided to finally take the first step and become a certified nursing assistant, and enroll at Clinton Community College to begin my journey to becoming a registered nurse. In the summer of 2014 I had decided to take control of my life and pursue my dream of working in the field of healthcare.

Healthcare abounds with occupations dedicated to serving a variety of populations. Each profession has distinct qualities that warrant specific talents. My mother exemplified the characteristics of a successful Registered Nurse as I was growing up. Although I greatly admire her profession I knew early on that I would not follow the same path. My initial career goal was marriage and family therapy.

As an acute care nurse practitioner I hope to utilize my experience as an Intensive Care Unit nurse along with clinical knowledge and skills acquired through a graduate level program to provide the highest quality patient care. In my current role, I place high value on patient-family centered care and advocacy as well as commitment to lifelong learning. I have built my nursing career upon these values. I am excited to begin the journey of becoming an acute care nurse practitioner and to further my education and expand my scope of practice in the field of critical care, for which I have already developed a passion.

I have worked in various social care settings for over 5 years from which I gained a broad knowledge in providing professional support to service users to enable and promote independent living and fulfilment. I am a conscientious worker and a credible team player with high degree of flexibility towards performance of my work. In the course of seeking both personal and professional development I have pursued and achieved several trainings and qualifications which include NVQ level 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care and level 3 in Health and Safety to facilitate my aspired role as a senior community support worker.

My experiences have improved my prospective nursing capabilities as the continuous hands-on work has taught me to be resistant, how to read people and situations and also how to respond quickly and successfully in an emergency. I also have a strong sense of responsibility and this confirms that I am always organized, tidy and punctual in my timekeeping. I 'm cooperative and pleasant to others and have possessed sensitivity to all people. As an individual, I'm adaptable in all situations as a result of my caring history. My experience in life has led to an admiration for nurses as a result of the personal interactions I have had with the nurses who cared for me when I was seriously injured.

As life changes and society becomes more susceptible and demanding, there evolves a need to do something different to enhance the world in which we live. Having studied and worked in the field of engineering for over twenty years and made significant achievements in the telecommunication industry, I am convinced that this is an opportune time to fulfil my childhood dreams of pursuing a career in nursing and fulfil my genuine desire to transform lives. After a thorough self-evaluation and research of the job market, I am confident that my educational background and professional experience have given me a solid foundation on which to build a successful career as a practicing nurse. My research indicates that the role of nurses within the health care system is constantly evolving. This has resulted in the increasing complexity of duties and higher levels of interaction with other professionals.

I am a motivated, versatile and conscientious student seeking an entry level position in children nursing. Nursing to me is a profession concerned with the conditions of services essential to the maintenance and restoration of health by attending the needs of sick persons. I am an individual who enjoys to offer services to those who may require my help but also aim to be that who is able to encourage positive change in the NHS sector. Studying nursing will allow me to understand the importance of the professional conduct and also will help put in focus what I enjoy doing. Supporting those who are in need is what I do best, this is portrayed in the voluntary work I do outside college and family home.

I am eager to pursue a career in which is challenging but rewarding, becoming a paediatric nurse would allow me to fulfil this aspiration. Nursing is a career for those who are reliable, empathetic, patient and know how to develop a connection with a patient emotionally as well as their family through difficult times. I have these skills and I truly want to make a difference in a patient's life. In the NHS, the role of a nurse is changing every day, as nurses are getting opportunities to become more involved in the responsibility of patients well-being and health and to become more specialised in different areas such as chemotherapy, surgery, clinical and much more. In studying for a degree in paediatric nursing I am inspired to make most of these opportunities to further my career.

The job field for nursing is vast and plentiful , It makes me believe I could make a life for myself in this
