Within five months, the profession of a nurse and what it means to be a nurse has certainly unfolded. What speaks out if the many values that one holds when the decision is made that they will be a nurse. A nurse is simply not an individual who takes care of an individual in need of overcoming an illness and ensures the client is given the treatment.

My inspiration to pursue a lifelong career in nursing derived from witnessing a close individual succumb to a painful and chronic disease when I was the tender age of 6. I pondered and researched endlessly on the symptoms and damage caused by that disease until I comprehended its origin and everlasting effects. The memory of witnessing that individual die will continue to plague my memories and serve as a reminder of why I continue to strive for my goals today. From that point on, I knew exactly the person I aspired to be in the future—a nurse. I was fascinated with acquiring knowledge about the human body and diseases. In high school, I applied to a local hospital to become a candystriper to gain more insight about the medical field and nursing. I was placed into the endoscopy department and it was there where I truly established my determination to take on the challenge of becoming a nurse. I witnessed and experienced a myriad of things during my time there. I grasped how to become more compassionate and to prioritize one’s life and safety above everything. The hospital became my personified version of Utopia.

Successful nurses are anticipated to promote their profession. When I accomplish my goal of becoming a registered nurse my strengths and abilities will do just that. I have always known nursing was the career for me, but my interest in it really peaked when I started doing clinical rotations at Angleton Danbury Hospital. Just seeing the people around me devoted to taking care of others really inspired me to do the same. As a result, I continued doing hospital and pharmaceutical clinicals throughout high school and participated in an internship at a cardiologist office throughout the summer.

I chose to apply to Georgetown University School of Medicine as I am extremely believe my medical education would significantly benefit from your mission to cure the whole person and the Population Health Scholar Track. First, I am interested in the cura personalis curriculum as it will give me the ability to think critically about the entire person as I worked towards achieving my goal of being a physician with a speciality in addiction medicine. In caring for patients, it is evident that looking at the entire person is crucial for patient care. Recently, I stepped into this role during an encounter with a 16-year-old female patient with knee pain and a BMI of 42.

My first career interest is to be a Nurse started at a very young age when I wanted to take care of my parents when they were ill. I would always tell my parents I will take good care of them as they get older. Let alone, I enjoyed helping and taking care of people. In my spare time I would volunteer at local nursing home to visit the elderly patients and interact with them. Visiting the patients in a nursing brings lots of joy and happiness to me.

Vivian Onyechi Statement of Purpose Health care has been at the forefront of my life. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to be in the Health field, but I did not know what direction I would go. You see I come from a country where we didn't take healthcare seriously until you had to go to a hospital. One would think that going to a hospital would reassure you that everything would be alright but that is not the case. The system is designed to make health professionals think of themselves and how they can profit off your misery while incompetence is the order of the day.

As nurses we all bring our own values and beliefs to the job whether or not we intend to, it happens. I place large amounts of value on family and friends. These are the people you can call on for support. I know that without the support of my mom helping me with my kids and my house work there is no way I could be in the nursing program.

B was often placed in respite foster homes. I found myself thinking about what it would be like to sit down to meal with a strange family how awkward would he have felt. Building on this making connections with people is very important to me. Once I was able to build a connection with B I was able to work with him in a more cohesive way. Making that convection helps to build trust, positive relationships are built on trust. Being a good listener is a skill that I value as a nurse. Not only do I value being a good listener but I also value being heard. I value you a person 's ability to do what they say they are going to do. If you tell a patient that you will return to check in with them in 30 minutes than you need to be sure that you keep your word. When working with clients it is import to me to build on

Throughout these past two years I have been working as a Substitute teacher for Prince Georges County Public School. Being a substitute has its good, bad and even worse days. But overall I have to keep in mind to not allow the students get to me or change my character or attitude. In all reality I really do not enjoy being in the school system.

Why do you want to pursue a graduate degree in your chosen field of study and why do you want to pursue a graduate degree at Clemson University?

However, that is not the case. I work extremely hard to do my best in everything I do. These activities have also helped me with my time management.

Even though I can be stressed out at times, I always try my best to help others and be kind to them because they could be in the same situation as me or

My decision to pursue a career in nursing began in 1981, while I was living in Peru. I was accepted into the Medical School of National San Marcos University. This program taught me the basics in medicine and patient care. I attended this University for almost eight years, nearly completing my studies. Peru 's government structure had changed dramatically, causing a decline in entire country's finances, and I found it necessary to find a full-time job immediately to help support my family. I accepted a job as a legislative secretary to the National Congress of Peru, working for several congressmen for over nine years. In 1996, I moved to the United States and continued my studies as a Surgical Care Assistant at Memorial Hospital in Colorado
