Nursing is beyond a medical occupation, it is being available to your patients at all times, caring for them, and helping them. I was only a fourth grader when my desire to become a nurse began. One fall night my dad’s pickup rolled over him and he was taken to the hospital. The rest of my family worked and helped on the farm, leaving me to care for my dad when he came home. This sparked my passion to help people and influenced my decision to pursue nursing while my work experience, leadership opportunities, and volunteer work helped prepare me. Lifeguarding at our local swimming pool was the first job position I held. Becoming CPR and first aid certified were two of the requirements for this job that began to prepare me for my future in nursing.
The strong Lutheran foundation at Valparaiso University that prepares students to lead and serve in the community. In addition to the church, and society offers me the opportunity to pursue a Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree. The university's foundation and family-centered focus make it a great place for work-study. Although no one ever suggested that my journey to become a Registered Nurse would turn out to be a faith-based journey, I transitioned from Medical Assistant to Registered Nurse in 2017. I enrolled in an LPN program with only 12 weeks until graduation, but the school closed with no further information.
I am an experienced hardworking, reliable and motivated Senior Nurse. I lead by example and thrive on challenges. I am able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and this is evident when working well within the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). I have worked in Alder Hey children’s Hospital for fourteen years, working initially within the Oncology unit for eight years were I acquired a vast knowledge of sepsis.
A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.

Nurses demonstrate sympathy, patience, selflessness and empathy; these are all attributes I hold and would have no difficulty in expressing as a nurse. I believe that studying nursing will allow me to develop these set of skills I already possess, which will stay with me for the rest of my life and launch a career doing something I love. All this has helped to motivate me to pursue a career in
In 2008, I graduated high school with no solid plans of attending college. That year I also earned a certification as a nursing assistant through a local vocational program. This was without a doubt the most beneficial accreditation that I have earned to date. During this program I took interest in learning about medical terminology, administrative and clinical tasks of the healthcare field and the sciences as they relate to the human body. By the end of the year, this program peaked my interest in furthering my education and after working a year as a nursing assistant in different healthcare setting, I started attending Southern Maine Community College for pre-nursing studies in 2010.
This is a personal statement for my application to the Family Nurse Practitioner Concentration in the Ball State School of Nursing. My personal statement provides details on my personal background and the unique impact that Family Nurse Practitioners have had on my life. I describe my undergraduate studies and how I firsthand gained interest as well as insight on the skills of a Family Nurse Practitioner. I go into detail about my aspiration to be a Family Nurse Practitioner to directly affect the patient care of a variety of patient populations. The personal statement connects qualities of my current practice as a Registered Nurse to the proficiencies of a Family Nurse Practitioner.
The moment I decided to become a nurse I was a twenty-one-year-old mother with a three-month old beautiful baby girl and needed money to support her. I thought if start as a certified nurse assistant that would be the first step of becoming a nurse. As a certified nurse assistant, I would learn how to interact with patients and their family members. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to see what nurses deal with on a daily basis. When I was younger, I would always take care of my family, as far as babysitting, doing hair, and helping with my elderly grandmother.
Through the third-riding time I have accumulated, I have seen a few gruesome encounters such as motor vehicle accidents as well as many different traumas. I have been lucky to be able to go through the health occupations curriculum at my high school and attain my Certified Nursing Assistant certification as well as my healthcare provider, CPR/AED and First Aid certifications. I also received clinical experience through Lawrence General Hospital in the Emergency Center, during my time there my love for medicine grew tremendously and fed my ambition not only for high school, but for college and my future as well. I find comfort in helping anyone and creating a better situation for them if someone is going through a hard time, as I did when I was younger with my great grandparents. Knowing how much a medical hardship can affect someone makes me want to help that much more.
I have worked in the nursing field for 13 years, mostly and currently in the ER (emergency department), but I have also tried long-term, med/surg, and correctional nursing. Emergency care is my preference. I hold the position of Clinical Coach/Shift Leader, and enjoy mentoring others in this amazing field, so i decided to continue my education and follow my dream of becoming a nurse educator. I would like to be able to instruct on a full time basis. Along with nursing, I have been heavily involved in EMS (emergency medical services), not only as a paramedic, but also as Lead EMS Instructor.
For me, being legally blind with correction, colorblind, and extremely light sensitive has been my limitation. It is a struggle that I face even to this day, although through the years, I have managed to live with it, finding ways to make things not easier but manageable. The simplest tasks for conventional people are the most difficult for me. Even though my daily life is a struggle, I do not give up and never plan on doing so.
I was raised in a small francophone rural Northern Ontario village called Belle Vallée, a tightly knit community. Since I was young, I always had a passion for health sciences and my ultimate goal is to be able to study medicine. From there came my choice to pursue my studies in nursing as a path to learn the human anatomy/physiology, improve my bedside manners and interact with clients; all to build a solid foundation to study medicine. In my undergraduate education, knowledge was passed on in different settings: in small group with case-related scenarios, hands-on skills and placements, as well as academic lectures. I volunteered to help fellow classmates, in the group setting or outside the class; I was looked upon as a leader.
To pursue a Bachelor’s degree in nursing is pursuing much more than just a degree or profession- it is more so pursuing a privilege of value, compassion, humanity, and solicitude that surpasses any occupation a regular job can offer. The tasks put at hand, the lives that are touched, and the overall attentiveness put forth by these nurses is the reason so many lives are refined each and every day. One of the best things I believe I will personally obtain from being a nurse is being able to fulfil and change lives through people’s illness while being able to contribute to their life in a supportive way. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that progressively weakens muscle coordination throughout the body, and for the past nine years
As my internship started at Columbia Asia, my career interest also began to change. The standardized practices of Columbia Asia Hospital helped me to bolster my skills in medical nursing and identify my potential in healthcare management. My thoughts started wandering and I began to look into the health sector with a different perspective where growth continues and there are no limitations. I was influenced by the compassionate professionals and researchers at Columbia Asia who were highly experienced and qualified and I often used to visit wards with them for scrutiny. I also met my former teacher who was there for her clinical research.

By the end of this first semester, I plan to successful pass my reading exam. My target will be achieve by engaging myself on reading any kind of book such as newspapers, course handouts and or novels.
