I want to be a pediatric nurse. I absolutely adore children.

After graduating Anacortes High school I plan on attending a four year private liberal arts university. I will be pursing a Bachelors of Science in Nursing leading to a career as a Registered Nurse. My main interest is a specialty in pediatrics. Following a month stay at Children's Hospital after enduring emergency surgery and a difficult recovery I decided nursing is what I'm meant to do. The nurses inspired me, and I hope that I can help a family and child in the same way that they helped

I want to do when I finish school. My mother always told me that I would be a babysitter, because I like to take care of kids. On the other hand, I thought that I wanted to be a teacher However, being a student for twelve long years I noticed how children behaved in school. In my mind, I knew that wasn’t the future job for me. When I was in the third grade, my grandmother had a stroke. Since she had gotten sick, I had to take care of her .This is what persuaded me to become a Registered Nurse.

The tasks of a nurse fascinates me; I have had several opportunities to observe nurses in hospitals and I find their work intriguing. I have always been interested in the health field and performing the jobs of a medical professional. Ever since the age of twelve, I have known I wanted to attend a university and pursue a career in the health field. I have always had an interest in my science courses, specifically biology and chemistry and have excelled in these areas. I want to be able to receive the best education possible and make my parents and community proud. I wish to do more for my community than just being a typical nurse and I will be able to do more by becoming a nurse practitioner.

Ever since I was a little girl I carried a toy stethoscope around and havin my family be my patients. I was not like any other kid, who played with barbies and kenn. My mom even knew I was going to fall in the great path of the health care. My potential is to have the greatest affect on others who are in need of my help. Also, I chose nursing to be my health career, because I have seen the real path of nursing in the real world. Attending a vocational high school, has given me a chance to enter the health assisting program. A four year high school program has put an outrageous affect on me. I learned how to practice

My love for nursing began early in my life; in high school, my continuing desire to become a nurse resulted in my applying and being accepted to Midwestern State University. There, I received a BSN and became a registered nurse. My experience at Midwestern prepared me for a successful career by instilling confidence within me as I joined the workforce. As my experience grew and years went by, I became eager to further my education and pursue my master's degree. Then life happened: the two-legged version that requires love, compassion, energy, and time. Now that my child is in school, with the support of my family, I am ready and dedicated to become a family nurse practitioner.

I have 2 kids and with them I have learned how to deal with difficult situation and I know that being in the nursing field there will come difficult times were multitasking will become helpful. One of my counselors that I’ve been speaking to at CCU has had a lot of patients with waiting for me to reply and always sending me emails to keep me on track with my application. I like to create a great relationship between classmates and teachers and I got the first impression of this school I was going to be able to have that relationship. Last but not least I am a team player that works great with others and very open minded person ready to learn new theories and new ways. My greatest challenge in nursing would be that everyday there is something new that I would have to learn and try to keep up with all the updates that will go on. I love a challenge, and I don’t let any opportunity to go unclaimed. However everyday will be a challenge in pursuing nursing but it takes a certain person to become a nurse, with the right kind of feeling and complete desire to excel, I know that I am without hesitation that person. So I will accept any challenge that the nursing career has to offers

My name is Mercedes Gutierrez, I was born in a foreign country and came to the United States when I was nine years old. Since I was little I loved the healthcare field and my childhood dream was to become a doctor. My mother was a nurse back in my country of origin and my father was a Dermatologist. After I finished high school I went right on to pursue my dreams. I took some general pre-requisites and made it into nursing school. Initially I wanted to be a doctor, however looking at tuition expenses and many other factors I decided that nursing was more appropriate for me. Today, I am glad I made that decision. I finished as a Licensed Practical Nurse at the age of twenty and from there I completed my associate’s degree in nursing and became a Registered Nurse at the age of twenty- four.

Recently a graduate from Maryville University with a major in nursing and a minor in psychology. I can see myself planning a family and the rest of my life. My dream job at Cardinal Glennon is a nurse who works in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. While working as a nurse I wish to gain a few years of experience and then later on applying to a Nurse Practitioner program or a Nurse Midwifery program. After completing those programs I plan on starting a family and laying out the plan for the rest of my nursing career and life.

I see myself working as a Licensed Practical Nurse and transitioning to a Registered Nurse. I have had experience doing community service at the Claiborne County Senior Care Nursing Home and Claiborne County Medical Center through the Claiborne County Technical Center completing a high school course in vocational education in the field of Health Science II. My biggest challenges transitioning from high school to college will be having good study habits, paying close attention to what is being taught in class, taking good notes and utilizing free time to study. College will be different than High School but I am confident I will succeed in my future endeavors because I can do anything when I put my mind to it this is what I had to do all through school. Eventually I will be on my own so I need to have a good education so that I can support myself even though my mother will help me. I think college is an awesome opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone and meet new people. Therefore, I need to make sure that I surround myself with good friends whom I can trust to bring out the best in me and I will have my twin sister by my side to help keep me on track. College is not cheap so to be considered for a scholarship will mean so much to me and my
