Going into the nursing program at Colorado Christian University means so much to me. I have been to a couple different colleges but at that time I wasn’t sure what I wanted to go for. Now, I know exactly what my goal is and what I want to achieve with school. I currently work as a Hospice CNA, I love my job. I will be the first out of my parents and mothers side of the family to graduate from a four year college. Also, being a nurse is something I’ve always dreamed about.

Hospice is where I will stay once I get my nursing degree. I will be the first out of my parents and mothers side of the family to graduate from a four year college. I have so many people depending on me and looking up to me to finish school and to become successful. My family is my motivation. They give me the strength to push myself for the better. I am an only child so I feel like I have to be the best at everything. I push myself harder than anyone else. I really am my worst critic, but I take that as something positive because there’s always room for improvement. I will strive to do my very best through school even though I know it’s going to be hard. Lastly, I’ve always wanted to be a nurse. Never in a million years had I thought I would enjoy this job so much. From the moment I became a CNA I knew I wanted to be a nurse. I enjoy helping others. Also, working side by side with the amazing nurses I’ve had the pleasure to work with has made me want this that much more. I love to talk with them and hear their journey to becoming a nurse. It’s not the easiest job but defiantly worth all the hard work. There are so many opportunities available with a BSN
After graduating Anacortes High school I plan on attending a four year private liberal arts university. I will be pursing a Bachelors of Science in Nursing leading to a career as a Registered Nurse. My main interest is a specialty in pediatrics. Following a month stay at Children's Hospital after enduring emergency surgery and a difficult recovery I decided nursing is what I'm meant to do. The nurses inspired me, and I hope that I can help a family and child in the same way that they helped
My ambition is to graduate St. Francis College as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor’s degree in the upcoming years. Although majoring in nursing will not be easy, I feel I am prepared for the challenge. At this time in my life I cannot see myself majoring in anything else. As a young girl, with a mother working in the medical field, I was always fascinated going to work with her. Working in a doctor’s office these past two and a half years myself has given me much experience with patients and has made it more to clear to me that this is what I want to pursue as a career. I wish to be a nurse because I seem to get a feeling of warmth and internal satisfaction when helping those in need. I have begun to learn that medicine is not the only cure for people’s ailments. It is the care they receive by those around them whether it is in a hospital, nursing home, or even their own home. This is where I believe that I can make a great difference in people 's lives by helping them recover.

Wide reaching, nurses significantly outnumbered physicians as providers of health care often having utmost vast reach remoteness to underserved communities. Having personally lived in one of the underserved communities in my hometown Western Africa before moving to the United States of America and my life calling to be a nurse from a young age with the deep desire to make a difference. I plan to contribute and continue to contribute immensely to the underserved communities by delivering quality health care to remote regions around the world. I do volunteer service at several clinics in the Atlanta area with many well-known Emory physicians that care for homeless and underserved populations, these volunteer experiences provide me with opportunities and fulfillment to develop added headship skill and experience to meet my daily patients, needs.
Dreams are alternations of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations. They shape the emotions that we feel in reality. Within the next ten years I would like to be furthering my career in the medical field but more specifically in the unit of Neonatal Nursing. As a very family-oriented person my instincts have always been to not only to care for my needs but to also care for others. Because my mother has taught me that transitions can be fundamental and positive in reforming lives, someday I hope to hold that aptitude. Furthermore, with this ability I am looking to improve my life as well as the lives of those around me. Due to my loved ones who have raised me with such strength and courage, I have grown more with strong dedication towards becoming a gratifying individual.
I am passionate of becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. I got inspired to work in this field when I interned at hospitals such as the Veterans and at Community Regional Center in the children's clinic. I have always worked with children and like being part of their lives. Ever since I volunteered at Storey Elementary After school Program with kids on their homework, it assured me that working with children is what makes me happy. I want to impacts others lives positively. I am serious about my career path and I take every advantage to learn more about it. This was one of the reasons why I had taken part of the UCSF Doctors Academy program, because I wanted to learn more about the health profession and be exposed to it. Being part of the
Currently I am working as a Registered Nurse in the adult medical intensive care unit. A job in advanced practice will be different from the current job in many ways. I will acquire the skills and competencies required for an advance practice through my master’s level education and clinical experience. The population of focus of my care will change from adults to all ages of the lifespan. I can provide health care to all members of the family and can focus even more on health promotion and disease prevention strategies. Advance practice in a primary care area will help to identify the resources of a family as a single unit, will assist me to help families in attaining the optimal level of health. The scope of practice will change,
For as long as I can remember, or since the first time I met a nurse, I knew that was what I wanted to do. I have always held a great deal of respect for those who care for others in their time of need, and sacrifice their own emotional health to be strong for someone else, when they could not be strong for themselves. For several years my fear of being unsuccessful held me back from pursuing this dream, until I decided to finally take the first step and become a certified nursing assistant, and enroll at Clinton Community College to begin my journey to becoming a registered nurse. In the summer of 2014 I had decided to take control of my life and pursue my dream of working in the field of healthcare.
My dedication to my goals is my number one priority this year and I can truly say once I not only graduate, but become a Licensed Nurse Practitioner, I will be at ease temporarily. I say temporarily because I wish to continue my nursing career at Miami-Dade community college. I have been so devoted to nursing all my high school years. I have been taking nursing courses since the 9th grade and even after I graduated high school. Although, it may have been tough but I learned to overcome obstacles for the thing you are very passionate about.
I want to pursue my health care career in Nursing. I always dreamed of being a nurse, because I enjoy working and caring for people. Ever since I was a little girl I carried a toy stethoscope around and havin my family be my patients. I was not like any other kid, who played with barbies and kenn. My mom even knew I was going to fall in the great path of the health care. My potential is to have the greatest affect on others who are in need of my help. Also, I chose nursing to be my health career, because I have seen the real path of nursing in the real world. Attending a vocational high school, has given me a chance to enter the health assisting program. A four year high school program has put an outrageous affect on me. I learned how to practice

Nursing as defined by Webster is the job of taking care of people who are sick, injured, or old. However, to me nursing is not just a job. It is a work of the heart, mind, body, and soul; something that encompasses who you are and how you choose to live your life. Being a Nurse is an art, one that requires patience, a steady hand, and an eye for things that are truly miraculous. Unfortunately it seems, that not all professionals have this mindset when it comes to caring for people. While some have what many would classify as never ending compassion and love for those they care for it seems that others are only there to get in, get out, and earn money. I, like many others, have had the sadly tragic experience of having this occur to me and my
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to become a nurse. I have been responsible for the care of others, especially of my oldest sibling. He was diagnosed with 10 years ago. I have helped him with the scheduling of his medications, following up with the doctor visits, and moral support. To reach my goals, I realized that I must pursue an education of 4 years. This will begin in the Fall of 2015. I am really excited about working toward this degree, and with the help of this scholarship I can finally become a nurse.
Caring for others has always been a passion of mine, and becoming a nurse has always been my dream. While my dream has turned reality, I can say that nursing has blessed me with the opportunity to not only be a servant to those in my community, but it has also allowed me to be of some comfort to patients and their loved ones during their darkest and most vulnerable moments. Nursing offers a variety of opportunities, where the only restrictions are the ones we set for ourselves. As for myself, all things are possible, for if I want it, I strongly believe it’s already mine. The depths that I will go to reach the latitude of success that I so desire is boundless.
Growing up as a child, I have always been fascinated with science. I went to Paranaque Science high school in the Philippines, graduated at the age of sixteen, and have always been yearning to use my interest of science in a future profession. As I transitioned into a young adult, I became involved serving in the community. At the age of seventeen, I started working with children. Every child was unique with individual needs.
