Passion For Nursing

There are many voices that make up the discourse of a life. We both consciously and unconsciously absorb them on a daily basis. For a considerable number of people, these voices are not ones of encouragement. These voices dismantle the building blocks of invaluable potential for living a flourishing, full life. I want to be a nurse because I want to do everything in my power to confront this issue. Nursing provides a daily, tangible way to serve people in vulnerable circumstances. Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator and philosopher wrote, “Human existence cannot be silent, nor can it be nourished by false words, but only by true words, with which men and women transform the world. To exist, humanly, is to name the world, to change it…. Human

They had a lot of positive things to say. The students were enthusiastic about nursing and their program. They were exuberant and full of life. It appeared we had a lot in common! This helped to me to feel the program would be a good fit. Nursing is my passion. On top of having a strong desire and determination to be a nurse, I display and cherish the qualities necessary to a great nurse. I am aware that I have room to grow; I am teachable and willing to ask for help. I always try to show compassion, competence, stability, and reliability on the job and in my personal life. I also appreciate the high demands placed on nurses and the pressures they undergo. I enjoy working in a fast paced environment and working effectively under pressure. I believe that nursing is deeper than a profession. It is a calling to selflessly serve others. With confidence, I say that the Lord has placed within me the aspiration to be a nurse. It is my hope you will afford me the opportunity to enhance these skills in your program and develop other skills you find are necessary. I am looking forward to learning and growing in your program.
