When someone is suffering or living with a chronic illness it can have a huge impact on them psychologically and socially. Chronic Illness is a condition that is prolonged in duration, usually more than 3 months and is rarely cured (DoH, 2012). Having to cope with a chronic condition might lead to life changes, such as dependency on others, loss of income, which can cause feelings of loss and reduced self-esteem. They can also report feelings of social rejection, poor healthcare and workplace termination due to their presenting condition (Earnshaw, Quinn, & Park, 2011).

I am the youngest of two daughters by two years, and live with my mom and dad. In my family, I’m the one who is the peacemaker. My family has taught me the importance of standing up for myself and others, and to be grateful for what I have. Both of my parents worked hard to give me the life I have now, and have taught me to work hard in life. My dad is a nephrologist, and works hard all day so that I don’t see him often, but when I do, he and I have a great time together. As a result of this, I value the time I spend with my family above almost everything else.

In the corner of the small hospital room stood a shy little girl. “You shouldn't be in here, honey”, my mother said as she nudged me out of the room where my grandfather lay dying. At the time, I couldn't understand the enormity of the situation. Ignorant to what was happening around me, my innocent mind fled with curiosity. The beeping of the machines and the soft quick steps of nurses captivated my attention. I was fascinated with this strange new world. This is the moment that sparked my desire to become someone great; a nurse.

I come from an athletic and musical family. My dad is a soccer coach and my mom is a musical director. I have an older sister who is my best friend and basically my twin. I love spending time with my family and friends. When I am not playing soccer, going to school, or doing activities for ASB you can find me at church, in my room watching movies, or at Disneyland. I enjoy being active and playing games. I also enjoy helping others and helping out the community. When I’m free I love going to San Diego and feeding the homeless community. I also love cheering on others, whether it be at a sporting events at my school, or going to a Padres

I strongly believe health is the center of life. During my job shadowing, I observed that many patients want to work, but they couldn’t because of their health conditions. One of the patients told the provider that he really wanted to work but he couldn’t due to his back injury. Most people get their purpose from jobs, and the patient lost his job. If people are healthy, they will be more likely to contribute to their society. This inspired me to prevent illness for people to have a healthier life.

I was born in Glendale, Wisconsin, I lived there for 6 years, me and my family were living in a really quiet neighborhood, I didn’t have friends from that neighborhood, that's where I got my shyness, I didn't go out with anyone only with my family, as a child, I never thought about going out and having fun, in another word I didn't care, my family would always try and take us places, that is why me and my parents are so close, I tell them everything, I never hide anything from them, when I'm annoyed and need someone to talk to I will always go and talk to my mother or father.

Hello, I am Alina Chen. I was welcomed to the world by my parents in Manteca on September 14th, 2002. Throughout my whole life, I posses a more quiet personality that prefers to think through the conflicts and problems carefully. I enjoy trying my best in extracurricular activities like Math Olympiad and Pentathlon, in which I have participated two years straight in both. I have also joined in Student Government, otherwise known as student council, before, as treasurer. I live with my father, mother, and brother, and I believe that we are a fortunate and warm family.

To demonstrate understanding of how theories relate to and inform nursing is part of what it means to be an Advanced Practice Nurse. Analysis of how nursing theories inform one’s own practice is not only a way to identify responsibilities and opportunities as a nursing leader, it is also a means to build disciplinary knowledge. As Chinn and Kramer explain, “Once nursing practice is described, it is made visible… [this] imparts value to what has been intangible (2008, p. 23). By describing my personal clinical practice area, and providing an analysis of how nursing presence, interpersonal relations and caring theories can be utilized, I will attempt to accomplish all of the above.

My goal is to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Trinity Washington University. After working in government and as a massage therapist, I realized that I have a calling in health care. In order to become a great nurse that provides optimal care, I need to be educated by the best institution. I am dedicated to putting in the time and effort to gain all of the knowledge Trinity Washington University can provide me, as I start my journey to the health care field.

If you really knew me, you would know that I just turned 16 and that I’m an only child that was originally born in California. I currently live with my father (Rob) and step-mother (Stacie), I used to live with my mom (Gracie) but when I was little I didn’t really like to do any form of work, I didn’t like to go to school ( I lived about 2 blocks away), and I used to be an obnoxious chubby child who wasn’t really respectful. I like to hang with family and friends, ride dirt bikes, and play exciting video games.

Going back to when I was a novice nurse, I was nervous, scared, afraid of making medication error, charting errors or fail to recognized patients worsening symptoms. These fears, made me vigilant, focused and kept me on my toes at all times. No matter which part of nursing I ended up as I grew up the from medical surgical nursing to stepdown unit nursing to intensive care nursing, I felt those fears in every step of my growth and they helped me be a better nurse for my pateints. Today, I am in the advanced practitioner program to become a nurse practitioner who is responsible for: interviewing, assessing, diagnosing, counseling and treating patients. To provide safe and quality healthcare, I am expected to have good critical thinking and decision making abilities (Maten-Speksnijder, Grypdonck, Pool, & Streumer, 2012). while I can recognize clinically deteriorating patients and recommend treatments, I am now responsible for providing treatments. I am now recognizing that facts about being not only responsible for the patient, but also to provide safe care that keeps the patient out of the hospital and out of the ICU. Knowing these facts, I am yet again, faced with the fears of my limited clinical practice knowledge as a practitioner. The amount of information that I have received and learned during this clinical rotation was both exciting and overwhelming at the same time, because I realized as a novice student nurse practitioner (NP), the limited depth of

If Arthur Pottinger had his way, his favorite sister Denise would have achieved her goal to be a registered nurse. She would have enrolled at the Kingston School of Nursing and graduated with honors four years later. In fact, it was the Pottinger family 's plan for Denise, the last girl and sixth child in a household of seven children. That was also Denise 's plan since she was five years old, she chose a nursing career and the Pottinger family applauded her selection. That was until Veda Pottinger left home for employment in Kingston the big city. After that, everything changed for the family.

My calling to nursing started when my father got diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015. I watched him suffering through radiation and chemotherapy, but what got him through those hard times was the help of some great loving and caring nurses. As I became more involved in taking care of him, my passion for nursing had greatly increased. Now, for nine years, I have maintained a commitment to caring for others in the field of Nursing. Being a registered nurse (RN), I have taken care of one patient at a time, which I have been involved in the amelioration of lives, and have only been left wanting to give and do more. Pursuing a master of science in nursing (MSN) is more than just a logical or natural progression for my career. It is a life choice, one that is backed by highly refined clinical judgments and in-depth exposure to an array of set-ups, and levels of care. In this personal statement, I will deeper highlight an explanation of my career goals, the reasons for my choice of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialization, and lastly the reason for pursuing an advanced degree in nursing.

Mr Bhed Prasad Ghimire(father), Mrs Bhagawati Sanjel Ghimire(Mother), Anita Ghimire (sister), and me. My dad and mother stay in the Israel, and my sister lives in Finland. We are scattered in different countries. Talking about me, I am an academically oriented student and is introverted. I am always afraid of being in the group of new people. Being around a lot of people for a while makes me insanely tired. When I stay quiet, people assume me as sad, mad, or upset, or I do not have any interest in their conversation. Sometimes, it was true, but most of the time it was my personality. My mind is always occupied with different thoughts and I enjoy being within myself. Though I expose less, I have dreamt high. I always want to something that is unique in the field of mechanical engineering and music. My family and friends suggested me to study engineering in Nepal. However, as a teenager to bring practical change in the field of my study, I made the significant decision to come to the USA for my further studies. After I had come to the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM), I studied music for six months and sang for ULM Choir band too. It was completely different than the music I learned back in my country. Many times, I just moved my lips being afraid of getting spotted for not singing. However, I upgraded my skills singing for the Choir Band. More than that, here I learned about becoming an individual and keeping yourself
