Nursing Personal Statement

583 Words3 Pages

Teaching and nursing are two careers that equally appeal to me. I am drawn to both, and have a strong family history in both lines of work. Unsure which profession I want to ultimately work towards after high school, I set out to find an answer. My goal was to use my senior project as a tool to help me decide between the two. Being more familiar with nursing, I thought it would be a great idea to gain more experience in the world of teaching, and I could not have chosen a better project! This project gave me insight into my future as a teacher and taught me invaluable skills through hands-on work in the classroom. For the last 14 weeks, I have been volunteering in Mrs. Dethman’s 2nd grade classroom at Mid Valley Elementary School on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for about 3 hours, give or take. During my time in the classroom, I did a variety of work both directly involving the students, and …show more content…

I only observed for the first week, so I could learn how the teacher run’s her classroom, and get used to the environment. After that, I moved on to simple tasks like grading math assessments, reading homework, and in-class workbooks, as well as taking down and putting up bulletin boards with student work, making copies, and preparing art materials for upcoming projects. The teacher then introduced me into non-academic activities that directly involved the students. This included coloring, glittering, and assembling fun projects with the kids. Each month they get a new themed coloring sheet to complete. I helped them color the image, cut around the border, glue it onto colored construction paper, attach their name label, and hang it up. We also did projects like crafting a turkey, a pilgrim and Indian, a Christmas tree, and a snowflake. These projects

    Voices talk over the intercom. The smell of iodoform disinfectant is in the air. Hospital beds are rolled down the hall. Doctors and nurses walk past each other, each with their own tasks and to-do lists, wearing scrubs. Of course what I think of the work environment of a nurse is more complex than the basic stereotypes I see when I go to the doctor, or what I see on Grey’s Anatomy.

    Students continued picking fights with each other and creating disruptions and hardly anyone could get such valuable knowledge out of the lesson. As the teaching struggled on, I gradually comprehended how these children did not have such a strong enthusiasm for school as I had which shattered my heart. My heart further shattered when it came for me to take my role as the eager tutor and see these students proliferate with understanding. Instead, the children complained about the workload, argued the purpose, and ultimately refused the work at times. Honestly, part of me felt defeated seeing so many at such a youthful age lose interest in a life of learning.

    I grew up watching the Arabic news channels and saw the suffering of the Middle East, images I'll never forget, videos of the evil that plagues my country, while I sat idly and powerless. This sparked my desire to help people, care for those who need it, and ease the pain of those suffering, as a nurse. English literature developed my ability to think critically and analytically, it improved my essay writing skills and ability to think about other possibilities and different interpretations. Both English and biology taught me that even small and seemingly insignificant things carry significant meanings and can make the biggest impact, and emphasised the importance of accuracy and attention to detail, an essential skill for a nurse. Both biology and chemistry allow you to apply your knowledge in different contexts, they give you an understanding of not only the subject but also of the world around us.

    And as you probably know sometimes children are quite difficult. For me a lot of it was explaining things in a way that they could understand. You also had to do a lot of problem solving. For example, if a child lost their paper that keeps track of the books they read or their prize then you had to figure out what to do. Should you give them a new one or are you even allowed to give them another one?

    I was so interested in educating mothers about the childhood disease that I found it necessary to join the Nigerian Red Cross Society and the National Program on Immunizations. These organizations exposed me to the reality that there is shortage of staff within the healthcare system and a gap existing between the clients and the health care team. Other prevailing issues arising within the healthcare system have its root embedded in these fundamentals.

    From a young age I was captivated by the science of the human body – what makes us ‘tick’, how such vast, complex structures could work together so seamlessly and how even the smallest organelle can have a pivotal role in ensuring organs carry out their function. To this day, I continue to be intrigued by what I believe to be the most important profession to exist – the ability to cure and make someone well again. This passion grew during my work experience at GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca where I could see first-hand the research and the level of thinking that goes towards a simple drug that millions take for granted. After experiencing the pharmaceutical side of patient care - I became eager to begin talking to patients and experience the clinical, more personal side of medicine.
