'The beauty of a nurse is to nurture without restrictions. Being able to grow up within a family where we always stimulate each other concerning gaining the courage we require to work within a specific health and social care profession, such as my mom recently graduating with a degree as a learning disability nurse, my auntie working as a general nurse within broader hospitals, as well as encountering major aspects of experience within the health and social care sectors for several years, has given me personal reassurance to become a general nurse. Having my first ever experience at the age of 16 of being shadowed by a qualified nurse who mostly cared for the elderly with some form of disability inspired me to ascertain the philosophy of human behaviour, which is one of the major reasons why I've developed an ambition to become an adult nurse. This experience taught me that the challenging aspects of being a hardworking nurse are also rewarding, as it gave me the privilege of providing compassionate care while making a positive impact on the lives of individuals. …show more content…

My zeal to become a nurse especially a nurse for the elderly was established after I  completed my first work placement in a residential home. Though the college I attended required students to do the placement in three different health and social care setting. I was pleased with my placement coordinator's idea to allow me to do my work placement twice in the residential home. I was much grateful to have had the opportunity to serve and have much experience in the care setting. During my time at the residential home, I enjoyed caring, talking, supporting and creating a relationship with residents suffering from all sorts of dementia.

The most predominant reason why I believe I should be admitted is to relieve the financial stress on my mother, and my family. My mother is a single mother and has the responsibility of taking care of me and my two siblings. It can be quite difficult for her at times living off a single income. The last thing she should have to worry about is a college tuition. I would use this head start not only to alleviate financial stress on my family but to begin an education that will allow me to be a positive role model and member of my community.

As the 6th child in a family of 10, I grew up witnessing the struggle that my parents went through to get us to where we are today. We came to America when I was five years old and we were stuck in a two bedroom apartment until my parents saved up enough money to move out. We were very poor and had very little money for food. Eating once a day was the harsh reality and the constant headaches from not having enough calories inside my system will always be in my memories. My brothers and I didn’t understand why the other students had better clothes to wear or why we couldn’t go on any fieldtrips.

If I could choose one word that would summarize the root of my motivation it would be this: mother. From a very early age, my mother taught me the importance, and the privilege of earning an education. She, having grown up in poverty, was persistent in her efforts to ensure her children developed a love for learning. This love has grown tremendously, and has led me down the path I am today. Currently, I am about to graduate with my Associates in Nursing, and it is a wonderful feeling to be accomplishing a goal that I had set.

To pursue a Bachelor’s degree in nursing is pursuing much more than just a degree or profession- it is more so pursuing a privilege of value, compassion, humanity, and solicitude that surpasses any occupation a regular job can offer. The tasks put at hand, the lives that are touched, and the overall attentiveness put forth by these nurses is the reason so many lives are refined each and every day. One of the best things I believe I will personally obtain from being a nurse is being able to fulfil and change lives through people’s illness while being able to contribute to their life in a supportive way. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that progressively weakens muscle coordination throughout the body, and for the past nine years

Prescriptions, hospice, suturing, and diagnosis are all words I grew up hearing frequently in my home. Hardly did I hear words like physical fitness, mind-over-body, relaxation, or stress management.

As I began to explore the options available in the field of medicine, I realized that encouraging a focus towards well care would most benefit the changing needs of the world. Through my undergraduate courses, I was able to better understand the responsibility amongst physicians in shaping a patient’s quality of life.

Indicator fifteen highlights the importance of support between nurses in providing patient-centered (therefore compassionate) care (CNA, 2017). I noticed that the nurses at the Tom Baker Centre were very supportive of one another, and the light-hearted dynamic between them invited compassion into care. They were eager to assist one another with tasks, void of lateral violence, and quick to joke in a wholesome, uplifting manner. When they did criticize each other it was done constructively; no one was ever publicly shamed or embarrassed. They were also role models for each other through the care they gave, addressing patients by name, remembering details about their lives, engaging them in quality conversation, communicating compassion through non-verbals, and in being sensitive to individual needs.

In the past I have shown my strength in this area of nursing care when looking after family members that have fallen victim to sickness. Whenever someone tells me that they are not feeling well, I immediately jump into action and try my best to make sure that they feel “cared for” .The feeling of pride and satisfaction I experience after caring for a person that is unwell is what originally made me choose nursing as a career. Caring is a basic attribute of human growth and development (Griffin 1983). This is why, as a nursing student I know it is such an important strength to be utilised when helping a patient to feel better.
