Nursing is a lifelong learning experience and a challenging profession. My inspiration of wanting to become a nurse comes from an innate desire to help and care for people in times of need. I believe that the experience during my undergraduate years have helped me to become a qualified applicant for the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis. About 9 years ago on July, 2008, my family moved to America to reunite with my grandfather, and to seek better living opportunities. That day was the beginning of a thrilling but equally terrifying journey for my family. That day I made a conscious decision of making my living experience in America a positive and rewarding experience for my parents and their hard works. My parents, who are …show more content…
I took several general elective courses to explore different majors. My interest for the healthcare field started to grow when I took some of the health education classes, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Nutrition, and Disease Prevention. In only five years, I was able to earn my bachelor degree in Health Science - Community Health Education (CHE). Although my bachelor’s degree is in another discipline, I have completed all the prerequisites and am ready to transition into the nursing profession. Growing up I have never thought I would be passionate about becoming a public health nurse. I was terrified of standardized tests, ran away from Math, and doubted people that would tell me how much academic and leadership potential I possessed. After seeing how sick my parents were, I am determined to become a Public Health Nurse to make a difference in the lives of those who cannot afford …show more content…
This position gives me the opportunity to create a supportive and friendly environment for the patients and their families. Besides volunteering at Shriners Hospital, I was also an active member of the Public Health Club (PHC) at Sacramento State. The PHC provided me different opportunities to engage in many professional development activities, social activities, and community service. My extracurricular experiences have brought me to meet many people from different backgrounds and cultures. I have come to better understand the barriers some families face in caring about their health and getting quality
My calling in life has always been clear to me, in my heart I have always known that I wanted to become a part of the medical field. Ever since I was a little girl I have admired the men and women who work in this field. Their drive and compassion to help those in need inspire me to become a future Registered Nurse. One of the many individuals within this field who has inspired me is Alfred Lopez a Registered Nurse at the California Institution for Women. He is 45 years old and has received his Bachelor 's degree in nursing from UCLA. As a nurse he provides exemplary care without judgement or bias towards those who are convicted as felons and criminals. He is a respectable and good natured man that lends an unbiased helping hand to all, despite what they have done in this life. This is why I strive to one day join the field of nursing because in this field every patient is treated equally among one another.
It all began when I started volunteering in Los Angeles, with my mother at Asian Pacific Health Care Clinic. Asian Pacific Health Care Clinic is a clinic for low-income families who were in need of vaccinations and other health care services. One day my mom received a phone call from the clinic and asked me to go volunteer with her. Since that day, I would have never guessed that it will impact my decision in pursuing my career as a nurse. I was assigned to help patients fill out vaccination forms, translate verbally, and assist the nurses who were in need of my help. I noticed the joy on each patient’s face once they were finished their vaccinations, and it made me happy to know I put a smile on people 's face after their vaccinations. Since that day, I have grown a passion for volunteering and helping others. Another factor that drew me to the nursing profession, was when I volunteered at a
I am Uniqua Parham and I am an enthusiastic person that is very interested in working in the healthcare industry. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in health science with a pre-physical therapy tract. I am currently in my final full time semester and this summer I will be taking my final course for my degree. I chose to become a physical therapist because I have wanted to work in healthcare for a long time, but I found out as a teenager that I am squeamish with other people’s blood. As a result, I chose a career path where I could still work in healthcare but deal with as little blood as possible.
During my undergraduate years in college I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to become when I “grew up”. I would study various professions and never felt like anything fit for me. One evening I sat down with my aunt, a nurse, and I was talking to her about how I couldn’t decide on a major and how frustrating it was to be in college feeling as if I did not have any direction. She looked at me with complete surprise on her face and said, “You aren’t applying for nursing school?” I stared at her for a moment because I was confused as to why she would ask me that. She chuckled and proceeded to tell me that she had always assumed that I would be a nurse because I spent several years of my life taking care of my 3 year old cousin who had cancer. For three years I was his caregiver and it had never occurred to me that I could make a living caring for people. I then spent countless hours researching nursing and what exactly nurses did. This was it! I had finally found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life! It took no time at all to know that I wanted to specialize in pediatrics. Throughout my clinical experiences in nursing school I have immensely enjoyed working on the Pediatric units as well as the Nursery. I am now absolutely certain that I am meant to be a pediatric nurse. Cook Children’s is recognized as a Magnet-designated hospital and is one of the best children’s hospitals in the US. Being a Cook Children’s nurse resident would allow me to fulfill my passion and dream of pediatric nursing. I am interested in a nurse residency at Cook Children’s because of its excellent reputation in patient satisfaction, standard of care, and community involvement. A residency at Cook Children’s would allow me to gain more experience and know...
The field of nursing is a career that has interested me for years now. It has become a very popular specialty of healthcare to go into each year for many adults. After working in healthcare at Marietta Memorial Hospital for a few months in the lab and the rest as an ER technician, I have come to the conclusion that I want to make the next step in my career and pursue to become a registered nurse as a profession. My father has been my biggest influence for me to pursue registered nursing as a lifelong career. He passed away this past May from strokes, and for the past few years I would help take care of him, make sure he would take his medications, and educate him on what would go on at his doctor 's appointments and what was going on when
To begin my personal statement, I grew up in the West African nation of The Gambia. I am the youngest of thirteen children and I was adopted by my uncle and his wife at age 2. My adoption was very different than the American way where all sorts of contractual documents had to be signed. Although the end results are the same, mine was done without signing any documents because my parents were just giving me up to my uncle and his wife to raise me. At age 5, my uncle enrolled me at Primary School without the consent of my biological parents for fearing that they would object because most parents in the Gambia do not think girls have the same rights to education as boys. I grew up without a television, running water or electricity. I did not know that I lacked
Nursing is one of the onerous and highly demanded professions in the U.S. as they work to promote good health and prevent illnesses. Registered nurses (RNs) inform patients and the public about various medical conditions; treat patients and help in their rehabilitation; and provide guidance as well as emotional support to patients' families. RNs use substantial judgement in providing a wide variety of services in our society. As other future nurses, my main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an intrinsic desire to help other people and care for them in times of need. I am also a person who thrives being challenged, so nursing suits me as few other careers that offer as much diversity and learning opportunities. Registered Nurses
University of Saint Francis is the right college for me and you won’t be sorry you picked me! Last year I had enrolled in a vocational class called Primary Health Care. In Primary Health Care I gained my CNA license and later got a job at a nursing home. Since then I have found a love in caring for people, nothing gives my heart more joy then being there for someone. Whether it be for daily care or someone just needing to sit and talk. Since then I have decided to further my medical education into becoming an RN.
Being accountable to me as a professional is saying yes to the call and responsibility we have to bear out. It is a responsibility we take for ourselves and for others who rely on us to be present in any situations. The mission requires an openness to relationship with others. The consistency of performing at a higher level each time the job is done and strive to give all for the greatest good. In collaboration with others involved. That bond can strengthen when everyone involved intersect their effort to the same purpose. The skills acquired over the years as a bedside nurses give me an opportunity to be dependable and trustworthy. Knowing what to do in difficult situations and being intuitive is a plus. It can help in a managerial position
After doing my work experience at the Craigton Road Day Care Centre for elderly people, where I enjoyed talking with and caring for vulnerable, confused and apprehensive people, I felt that working with the patients and staff really did improve my communication, teamwork and interpersonal skills. Working and listening to the patients and their struggles made me realise that a health care profession was the correct career path for me. As a nurse, I need to be able to work as part of a team and deal with emotionally charged situations, have patience, understanding and a caring attitude towards everyone. I feel that I have the correct skills and responsibilities to be able to fulfil this role. I took a particular interest in nursing as I want
As a Registered Nurse, I am constantly learning new things every single day. Learning about the body, how the body reacts to certain medications, how mental health ties in so directly to physical health and also how important the basic human needs truly are. I am honored and blessed to be able to call myself a nurse and to be a part of my patients’ healing while they are under my care. I have become a stronger person since I became a nurse, and for that I am truly thankful. It is at this time in my life that I find myself seeking more. Seeking more answers, more knowledge, more autonomy, and most importantly more life and nursing skills. As an RN, I can only do so much for my patients each day, within my scope of practice, and depending on
I have often been asked why I chose the nursing profession from friends and family, especially as I was graduating high school and starting my first year of college at UT Arlington. People who cared told me school was going to be hard, I wouldn’t have a social life, and it would be highly competitive. I even asked myself myriads of times whether this was really what I wanted to do, but every time my answer remained the same, yes. Though this uncertainty of the task ahead scared me, I was dedicated to becoming a nurse, no matter how hard it would be. Since that time two years ago, my answer to that question has progressed and evolved, and taken on a whole new level of dedication behind it.
What attracted me to the nursing profession was a desire to be a caregiver. Being a nurse for 7 years has been rewarding and very challenging at times. I was not aware how to be a nurse until I became the patient. During my stay in the hospital, my personal experience being a patient taught me how important it was to continue my nursing education. It is important for me to be an advocate, competent, and trustworthy individual to patients and families.
As a student nurse, I was immediately drawn to psychiatric nursing and the many unique challenges and fulfilling opportunities it presented. I also knew from the beginning that I wanted to continue my education and become an advanced practice nurse, and I have never lost sight of that goal. As a nurse currently working in a psychiatric facility, I plan to use the experience I gain to help me better understand the topics I will study throughout my education. I will use my fellow students, colleagues, and providers as resources to gain a deeper knowledge of each topic of study as I incorporate my learning into both my work, and my studies. I will develop a plan of study that will compliment my work schedule and family life, and I will choose preceptors with qualities that I respect, and who mirror the type of provider that I want to be in my own practice.
