Personal Statement: I Want To Be A Nurse

The tasks of a nurse fascinates me; I have had several opportunities to observe nurses in hospitals and I find their work intriguing. I have always been interested in the health field and performing the jobs of a medical professional. Ever since the age of twelve, I have known I wanted to attend a university and pursue a career in the health field. I have always had an interest in my science courses, specifically biology and chemistry and have excelled in these areas. I want to be able to receive the best education possible and make my parents and community proud. I wish to do more for my community than just being a typical nurse and I will be able to do more by becoming a nurse practitioner.

The nursing field gives a person the opportunity to work with and care for elderly, sick, and injured patients.

These are essential things that a person needs to know before going into nursing school.

Since I can remember I have always had a compassion and natural desire to care for my fellow man. Now having this opportunity, I remain committed to this task.

It is very fortunate that I have the opportunity to be in a position to where I am today.

A Nurse Practitioner is a registered nurse that has additional education and training in diagnosing and treating illnesses in specialty areas such as family, geriatric, neonate, or pediatrics. Nurse Practitioners prescribe medication, which usually RN’s cannot do, as well as treat illnesses and administer physical exams. Nurse practitioners have a master's degree or doctorate in nursing and board certification in their specialty. A pediatric NP has higher education, skills, and training in caring for infants, children, and teens than an RN. As licensed nurse practitioners, NPs follow the policy and regulations of the Nurse Practice Act of the state in which they work. As health care shifts away from the traditional hospital setting to within the community, the position and function of the nurse practitioner has changed to the front of

"It does not matter the road you take, or how long it takes you to reach your goal, it only matter that you reach it in the end." (-Anonymous) I start my morning off with this quote daily. To me, it represents who I am on so many levels and why I want to be a nurse. I have not always wanted to pursue a nursing degree. I have always known the medical field was my passion, but I often thought I was needed in other areas. I can look back now at the paths I have gone down and can see how each path God used to show me where I truly needed to be.

I knew I could be a nurse when I watched blood ooze from my brother’s face. His eyes dripping tears, and body shaking from being scared, he did not know what to do. I however, did not flinch once when I wiped the blood off his small face and hands. He was just two and I remember thinking how I had to fix him. I had to make sure his nose, his forehead, and the of side of his face was okay. I did not think twice about touching blood, or how his whole nose was black and blue. In that moment I was selfless. I chose nursing because I am capable of putting others before me. I am selfless enough to understand what it means to be a nurse, and have to be a mother, a daughter, and a whole family in a patient’s time of need. I am independent, and strong enough to deal with challenges and make the right decisions. In my soul I know I am meant to help people and fix their hurting and sadness. I chose being a nurse, because I am

Being a daughter of a nurse practitioner has it perks. When my mother was obtaining her master’s degree in nursing science, she used me as her patient while giving me tips and little fun facts about the nursing field.

I need to be able to quench my thirst for science and working on the hands on field, utilizing the skills I will be learning in school. I want to make a difference in this world. I want to be important and fulfill the purpose on why I was created. For me, this isn’t about the money or on bragging rights or even the title. It is about the people I get to encounter each and everyday by helping.

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.

Growing up in Sri Lanka, I have seen many children waiting in long queues to get treated, due to a lack of child nurses. Being in hospital myself, receiving treatment for nearly a week, the care I was given by the nurse felt like a mother’s warmth. Both of these reasons have enthused me to become a Children’s’ nurse, to give the care that I received to other children. To feel and show empathy towards the family is crucial and I believe it’s something which I will be able to do. Skills including good communication, showing approval and social perception which I have learnt through Health and Social Care, helped me to realise that individuals need different kinds of personalised care.

For a short-term goal, I am determined to get my associates of science at the Community College of Aurora. I know that
