Registered Nurse Personal Statement

I was only 19 years when I came to Australia all by myself to pursue the course of Bachelor of Nursing in Monash University in 2003. Being a teenager away from all family and friends I only completed 1.5 years and deferred from the degree as I was not at all happy with my performance. My heart and soul was always dedicated to this field so I became an enrolled nurse in 2008, got married and had two kids. But somewhere always in back of my mind was to be holder of a graduate degree and something which my parents always wanted me to do and the reason they sent me here so far away from home. I want to enhance my knowledge and be able to do things when I hear some nurses saying you can’t do this you are just an Enrolled Nurse. I don’t want to prove

I currently work as a wound ostomy specialist for the hospi-tal. I desire to continue to grow as a nurse and professional. I am now ready to advance my career again and become an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. In each position I’ve held, I have taken away a skill-set that has helped to mold me into the professional I am today. I have identified that there is a great need, in the Acute Care setting, for Acute Care Nurse Practitioners that can provide comprehensive and holistic care to the critically ill. According to Nursing and Health Sciences, hospital-based nurse practitioners influence team function, as well as facilitate advanced patient care, provide leadership and education as well as implement unit specific re-search. With my knowledge of the intensive care setting as well as my knowledge of pressure ul-cers, pressure ulcer prevention, wound management and advanced wound healing I feel that I would be a great asset to the profession as well as the hospital-based team. Once graduated, I plan to work in the Acute Care Setting, most likely in a specialty such as General

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.

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 have been a nurse for the past 25 years, and started my career on an orthopedic unit at Flint Osteopathic Hospital. After six years of developing my assessment and clinical skills as an orthopedic nurse, I decided it was time to challenge myself and apply for a position in critical care. I started working in

I am applying to the New Graduate Nurse Residency Program offered in the intensive care setting. I am currently completing my first year as a bedside nurse on 4th Medical Cardiology and I am an excellent candidate for this specialty program.

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.

I would like to be a Registered Nurse. A Registered Nurse assists in the process of recuperation for different patients that have varying illnesses and diseases. Being a part of that process and making a difference in the patient’s life has always been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I feel that Arizona College will assist me in this endeavor the most efficiently.

Since I can remember I have always had a compassion and natural desire to care for my fellow man. Now having this opportunity, I remain committed to this task. During my nursing career as a Registered Nurse, I allow myself time to grow clinically and to expose myself to a variety of health care emergency situations which continues to be very valuable to me in strengthening my career. It is very fortunate that I have the opportunity to be in a position to where I am today.

Recently in healthcare there has been a growing awareness in the delivery of healthcare and the errors and flaws that exist in the service of healthcare. Seeing how common and serious these flaws are it takes dedication and innovation to create a safer delivery of healthcare to all. Being a nurse and seeing the impact that I could have with each one of my patients and their families has brought great satisfaction to my everyday work. Since beginning my journey to become a nurse I knew from the first day that I would want to continue my education beyond my bachelor’s degree. With my love of learning and drive to progress my career I was excited to jump into a graduate program.

I am a passionate healthcare professional, majored in the pediatric area with more than 16 years of experience working with Children and Adolescents. Additionally, 7 years involved with Children with Special Needs (Autism and Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). Throughout my career, I have been motivated to learn about different areas which allowed me to improve my professional performance and work successfully in different health environments. I am Seeking for an opportunity to be part of a prosperous organization where I can use my skills and experience to cause a positive impact in the work team.

What appeals to me most in nursing is the combination of emotional, mental, and physical skills that are so crucial to the job. While being able to learn and apply science to patients, I get to understand them better, console them, and tend to their health needs. Moreover, the broad spectrum of jobs and positions nurses can hold fascinates me. There is never a time to cease learning, growing, and obtaining new experiences. I hope to one day pursue higher education in nursing, and specialize in a field of interest. I know that with a patient’s health in my hands, I have a responsibility to assure they are getting all they need from a physician and me. A nursing degree provides the courses, experiences, facilities, and faculty I need so I can turn my passions into a career. With Drexel’s co-op experiences and research opportunities, and Philadelphia’s many accredited hospitals, I am confident that by being diligent in my studies and surrounding myself with students and teachers who share the same fascination and affection towards others that I do, I can become a focused and compassionate

Nursing is a profession in which my love for science and health meet my love for people. One of my favorite things about this field is there is no one specific role a nurse plays. A nurse is a caregiver, an educator, and an advocate for the patient. As a nurse I will have the opportunity to play many parts in a health care setting and I look forward to filling that integral role. The first time I heard about a nurse’s career was at a Family Career Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) conference in middle school. The thought of impacting a life so deeply greatly interested me. After watching footage from inside a NICU on a television program, I realized at the age of thirteen that I would strive to become one of those nurses I saw caring

I had completed my bachelor’s degree in psychology and immediately applied to nursing programs. This decision was motivated by a lengthy hospital stay following my involvement in a life-threatening vehicular accident during my senior year in high school. The impressive care provided to me both in the critical care unit and later in a traditional room triggered my intense desire to care for those in need of medical attention. I was compelled to care for others both physically and psychologically just as those wonderful nurses had cared for

Bringing life into the world and helping women feel comfortable in their skin during check-ups catches my interest in the medical field. These are two of the many reasons I plan to practice in Obstetrics and Gynecology while specializing in fetal and maternal medicine. My interest of the body and the birthing process began to expand by many different experiences in high school, in the summer, and by personal experience. Yes, as every medical student would say, I am going into the field of medicine to help people. But I want to do more! I want to experience a new human being take his or her first breath of life with my help.
