Personal Statement For A Private Practice

Having succeeded in the pursuit of my DMD as one of the top students in my class both clinically and didactically, my immediate goal was to broaden my horizons in understanding dental medicine. This understanding encompassed the multifaceted and dynamic collaboration of specialties- both of which share the goal of comprehending biomechanics concerning maxillofacial complexion and the proper treatment of various malfunctions.

In addition to scholastic achievement, well rounded physicians have plenty of life experiences. They have fought through tragedies, yet find reasons to smile. They demonstrate success and leadership in spite of past failures. Their story may not be glamorous, but they consistently overcome obstacles that would stifle others. Their drive and determination defines who they are. The physician that emphasizes the well being of others over personal gain, that is the physician I plan to be. My path towards becoming a physician has been difficult in order to shape me into a more complete person. These past experiences allow me to sympathize, empathize, and more supportive of patients in the primary care setting. I feel the need to use my personal

When I became a nurse I knew I wanted to work in medicine dealing with patients suffering with chronic illness; I suffer from my own chronic illness known as Beta Sickle Thalassemia. Throughout the years my interaction with the Nurse practitioner in my Hematology/ Oncology has been enlightening. It has allowed me to see how I can be the driving force and a change agent for patients that suffer from chronic illness just like my own. For as long as I can remember I have always had a natural compassion for anyone in pain or discomfort whether physically or mentally. This empathy and compassion has trickled into the care I provide for my own patients and allows me to provide the best patient centered care I possibly can.

Being a nurse not only means compassion, dedication, and intelligence, but the profession also requires endurance, personal sacrifice, and the need for continuous education. I have learned that nurses are some of the most caring and selfless people that anyone will ever meet. Nurses are more than willing to complete challenging tasks and care for others in a way that the majority of people are unwilling to. I am driven to bring all of these qualities into my role as a future nurse practitioner, which is why I am committed to pursuing my Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP).

I wish to obtain a college education to pursue a career as a Nurse Practitioner. At first, I was overwhelmed by the career choices that were available to me before a situation occurred in January of 2016 that had a heavy impact on my life. I was in a position where an older gentleman had a heart attack and collapsed to the floor. Because I had taken a health class, covering CPR, the previous year, I was able to partake in CPR with three other men to help save his life. Coming face to face in a life-or-death situation scared me, but the panic in other people’s voices seemed to had kept me oddly calm, long enough to assist in chest compressions.

My ambition in seeking acceptance to your program is to do my part to improve the quality of the health care system through increasing my own abilities in health care management. While there are many medically qualified individuals working in medical management, there is unfortunately often a serious deficit in quality management experience. In order to achieve my ambition, I plan to utilize my strong medical qualifications and improve upon my strong management experience.

Preparing myself for residency, I am gaining significant US clinical experience in a hospital setting with a good understanding of the current standard of care. This experience has also given me a good insight into the ethics, medico-legal dilemmas, economics, and other aspects of medicine that go beyond the science of medicine that play a role in the US health system. It also gives me an opportunity to interact with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds which is educational and enjoyable.

I have completed a Bachelor of Oral Health Therapy degree (adult scope) at the CQ University in Rockhampton last year. I am currently working at the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service in Gympie Hospital. However, I moved recently with my family to our newly built house in Woombye. I realised that everyday commuting to Gympie is a heavy burden for me. Moreover, as a mother and wife, I would like to find a better balance between family life and work. Therefore, I am looking for a part-time job opportunity in my vicinity.

As an acute care nurse practitioner I hope to utilize my experience as an Intensive Care Unit nurse along with clinical knowledge and skills acquired through a graduate level program to provide the highest quality patient care. In my current role, I place high value on patient-family centered care and advocacy as well as commitment to lifelong learning. I have built my nursing career upon these values. I am excited to begin the journey of becoming an acute care nurse practitioner and to further my education and expand my scope of practice in the field of critical care, for which I have already developed a passion.

Mental and emotional health can have interpersonal, and social impacts; I want to provide evidenced-based mental, emotional and behavioral health interventions within the context of families, communities and larger systems, to children and adolescents. My goal as a licensed counselor will be to develop a collaborative relationship where each client feels empowered to act as an expert in developing effective coping skills, manage anxiety, depression, navigate difficult life transitions, and enhance communication skills and relationships. Reflective practice and self-evaluation will be an integral part of my practice. This also means being able to set my experiences, values, privilege, beliefs and biases aside during counseling sessions and allowing the clients goals and needs to take precedence. In order to be well-rounded in my profession, my day-to-day functions will include, assessments, psychological testing, counseling, personality testing, teaching, treatment plans, referrals, coordinate services, case-management, client-family- community education, documentation,

I want to empower my patients to take control over their health; the best way for me to accomplish that is to remain in direct and prolonged contact with the same patients over time as their primary care physician. My own life and my teaching experience equip me with the tools and passion to care for patients over a lifetime through primary care.

I’m interested in the medical field; cardiology and/or a General GP practitioner. A cardiologist is a doctor with special training in the act of finding, treating as well as preventing diseases associated with the heart and or blood vessels. A GP is a general practitioner who does not specialise in a particular area in medicine. General Practitioners provide routine health care and assessment of illnesses and injuries.

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.

IU Bloomington has a beautiful campus with great heaps of diversity springing from each corner, which makes me appreciate the languages and cultures here, as well as the one hundred year old nursing program. Both will assist me in reaching my ultimate career goal of becoming a multilingual travel nurse practitioner. Ever since I began high school, the profound art of being able to diagnose, treat and find a cure for sick patients in the medical field drew me in. Likewise, when my mother was sick, she solidified my desire to become a nurse practitioner as I would be able to stay along her bedside while I nursed her back to health. While in my junior year of high school, my mother was diagnosed with multiple fibroids in her uterus after years of frustration with pain and feeling lethargic.

I have a wide range of skills and knowledge that I have acquired throughout my personal and professional life. I can communicate with different types of people regardless of age, race or class. I have accessed a huge range of courses that have enabled me to develop interpersonal skills including negotiation and dealing with different types of people and personalities. I also have the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to work alone when required as I am self-motivated and can meet targets and deadlines. I believe that challenges are best met positively by developing and improving knowledge and skills and through professional reflective dialogue that leads to change. I am very hard-working and reliable. I work well under pressure achieving a high standard of work. I have practical and organisational skills and I can find solutions to problems and face challenges confidently.
