Statement of Purpose for a Career in Nursing

Nursing had never been in my passion when I was younger because the image of a nurse in a white uniform holding a tray full of loaded syringes, frightened me. To me the nurses were ruthless individuals who made the children cry with injections. However a nice, gentle, and sympathetic nurse who took care of me when I was hospitalized with a foot fracture, changed my opinions about the nurses. I realized that nursing is a profession which provides care for the ailing and needy people. My qualities that are with me right up until today were instilled by my Indian origin and Christian faith. These qualities add to my perspective and philosophy of nursing. My passion for

Choosing nursing as my profession wasn’t unprecedented, due to my family’s uncommon involvement in the nursing world. My own mother is the only known member in my family engaged in such a profession because of her aptitude towards empathy and her keen sight for common sense. Her involvement made me aware of this type of profession and how I could help others, thus shaping my strong belief in becoming a nurse myself. My belief in this profession was further strengthened because of a nurse that took care of me during my lengthened stay in the hospital. I managed to contract a deadly virus that left me disoriented and scared and the nurse’s mere presence was the only thing that calmed me down. Her gentleness towards me caused me to idolise her and consider following in my

In the near future, I will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree from East Carolina University. Guiding my ultimate nursing goals is my love for children. As a mother already, I have learned and immensely enjoyed my journey with my six-year-old child thus far. However, I would love to expand my knowledge on the unique needs of the pediatric patient population. The pediatric patient population is very diverse, due to the various stages of life within this populace. In the near future, I hope to expand my understanding and experience with pediatric patients through becoming a registered nurse on a pediatric nursing unit within a hospital. However within ten years, my goal is to become a school nurse. This being said, there is an extensive field of knowledge and training I will need to gain in order to achieve my ultimate nursing goal of serving all children in their medical and developmental needs.

Ever since I was a little girl I had imagined myself working in the medical field. However, back then I did not have any personal drive towards this type of career path. In 2014, that all changed. On March 27, 2014, I was diagnosed with Lymphoma. After five months of rigorous chemotherapy, falling behind in classes, and struggling to keep myself mentally stable, I was finally cancer-free. Those five months proved to be the most brutal, but also the most memorable. Having to be in the hospital for long periods of time had a great influence on the way I thought about nurses, and the work they do to ensure their patients’ needs were being met. This is how I found myself drawn towards a career in nursing. My personal fundamental values as an individual are kindheartedness, sincerity, family, and continuous learning. I plan on integrating these personal core values with what I believe to be the core values of nursing which are compassion, knowledge, and honesty. Patients who are shown compassion by nurses are seen to be much more relaxed in times of sickness and pain. Knowledge is important because improving knowledge is an essential to avoid mistakes and errors, delivering higher quality care for patients. Lastly, it is extremely important to comprehend the necessity of maintaining honesty and integrity in one’s practice so that the patient’s sense of self is not compromised. While I believe these to be the core values of nursing, I believe that the focus of nursing is on the

The field of nursing has provided so many opportunities for me. It has given me a challenging career with limitless possibilities and sense of purpose professionally.

Nursing is fundamental to healthcare and I’m privileged to play a role amongst so many admirable

“There is no human that ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail, recover, and improve, the better you are as a person.” This quote, by Chris Hardwick, helped drive my motivation to succeed despite failing multiple times. During the summer of 2015, I completed the Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Excited to begin a new chapter in my life, I submitted numerous applications to employers that were actively hiring. Unaware of the meaning of my status as a newly graduated individual on the market, I applied for mid-level manager positions with very little work experience. During this time, I had just one year of health care experience from working at Walgreen’s Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and Baptist Health Systems as a Patient Access

My first job was working in a long term- care facility, as a dietary aid. That position allowed me to interact with the residents, especially during meal times. The residents definitely influenced my decision to work in health care. For years I worked as a nursing assistant and then as physical therapist assistant in a rehabilitation facility. I enjoyed my work, however after my divorce I decided to go back to school to further my career. Since I wanted to continue working closely with the residents I decided to look into RN programs. That being said, careers in nursing are always in demand and the salary is good. At this point in my life stability is
