My Intent to Be a Nurse Practitioner Coming from a third world country where there aren’t many opportunities for work and funding for education, proceding to nursing school was a grand opportunity. The privilege to attend a government subsidized school where top students in the region compete to get into the program that allowed only 60 students per year was indeed a blessing.

During my undergraduate studies, I had the opportunity to take courses in public health, epidemiology, and health systems, which helped to deepen my understanding of the complex health challenges facing low- and middle-income countries and the importance of addressing structural and systemic factors in achieving health equity.

Additionally, the program's focus on hands-on learning and practical experience aligns well with my goal of gaining the skills necessary to become a leader in the field of global
Our nation has displayed its greatness in thousands of different ways. It has overcome many obstacles and solved many problems, but it seems to have gotten caught up on a select few over the past hundreds of years. One hardship that the U.S. is having difficulty solving is the nursing shortage. Although many, including myself, have seen this as a crisis that the nation faces, others seem to see a silver lining in the fog.

The issue has resulted in nurses not being able to successfully achieve our duty and work requirements, comprising the needs and safety of the patients in our care (Twigg, Duffield, Thompson & Rapley, 2010).
