My Intent to Be a Nurse Practitioner Coming from a third world country where there aren’t many opportunities for work and funding for education, proceding to nursing school was a grand opportunity. The privilege to attend a government subsidized school where top students in the region compete to get into the program that allowed only 60 students per year was indeed a blessing. As clinical rotations began, what was once considered a mere opportunity evolved into a true passion for caring as I truly love and enjoy nursing and helping people.
I am interested in applying to the USC New Graduate Nurse Residency Program offered in the Stepdown Telemetry Unit. I will graduate from California State University, Fullerton’s Accelerated Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing program in May of 2016 and I am an excellent candidate for this program. Throughout my nursing program, I have performed quite well in both lecture and clinical environments, maintaining a 3.9 GPA and receiving excellent evaluations from my clinical instructors. During my capstone externship in the Los Alamitos Intensive Care Unit, I have learned not only the technical skills required of a registered nurse providing care for critically ill patients, but have also developed the critical thinking abilities that must accompany
Nurses are every day heroes who not only dedicate their compassion to care for the vulnerable and ill but nurses must attain the proper training and education to provide quality health care. Ever since I was a little girl my dream was to make a positive difference. I am fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to share my love and compassion with the elderly, rehabilitation patients, chemical dependency patients and individuals with diverse disabilities through my role as a Certified Nursing Assistant since 2006. Nursing is my calling.
This past semester, my grandma, the woman who raised me, passed away after a long battle with respiratory and cardiac illnesses. Over the past year, I had assumed the role of her caregiver and was able to use the skills I have been learning and those I have learned taking care of critical patients in my job as a nursing assistant in the ICU and technician in the emergency department in a whole different way. The night she passed was the longest and yet shortest night of my life as I eased her through the end of her journey. While this was the hardest thing I have ever endured, I am thankful for the perspective it has given me. This experience really confirmed my desire to become a nurse, particularly in critical care where I work now.
Nursing sensitive measures are processes and outcomes. They aim to identify and measure the contribution that nursing care has on patient outcomes. Nursing sensitive outcomes are those that are relevant, based on nurses’ scope of practice and for which there is evidence linking nursing inputs and interventions to the outcomes. (Doran, 2003, p. viii) Quality healthcare has been an ever evolving process. Beginning with Florence Nightingale, who evaluated the quality of nursing care based on patient outcomes.
She never missed an opportunity to go to the hospital when someone was sick; and many times, she was the first one there. One thing that continually stood out to me was that it was always Mary Linda and Johnny; for they were a team, never one without the other. Her qualities as a mother were virtually endless. Leigh Ann was her world. Her family was of utmost importance.
I am a Nurse Case Manager in a management company. Every organization has its own mission and vision of the organization. According to Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), “A mission statement explains the company’s (or department’s) reason for existence. It describes the company (or department), what it does and its overall intention. The mission statement supports the vision and serves to communicate purpose and direction to employees, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders.”
Now that this degree will be completed I can pursue my true passion and transition to a registered nurse. Nursing has been a goal of mine since I was about eight years old. My grandmother was a Licensed Practicing Nurse at a nursing home for over twenty years. To me nursing is not just a career.
My professional goal is to pursue a Doctor of Nurse Practice degree as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). This would give me the opportunity to serve the underserved population and the less privileged, which is a burning desire and one of my personal goals. With this degree, I will be a vital asset in the efforts of providing resolutions concerning healthcare and its numerous challenges. My decision to become a nurse was inspired by the nursing professional code of ethics, which corresponds with my own personal beliefs.
My philosophy is pretty simple. To treat everyone as I'd like to be treated, to be kind and caring, and to always treat everyone with respect. When I think of nursing the first word that comes to mind is "Care". Some people think of caring as holding a person's hand or comforting them. There is no denying that nurses do much, much more than just that.
Scholarship Personal Statement Throughout high school, it has been my dream and aspiration to someday become a registered nurse, in the future. Nursing has always appealed to me, even though I do not understand the many facets of a nursing profession. I have always wanted to be involved in working in a healthcare setting as I spent numerous time in the hospital during my childhood, and for the birth of my daughter in 2015. I have been away from academic studies for 4 years, but I made the decision to return back. My intention of returning back to study is to build my language literacies and study skills that will assist me in a higher level of education and in achieving my aspiration of becoming a nurse in the future.
What does nursing mean to me? Nursing means helping people heal, meeting their needs while they are in your care, listening to concerns, protecting them from harm, and educating them how to care for themselves while treating them with dignity, compassion and respect and giving of yourself to the care of people and community. It is having compassion for people and their health and being a humanitarian, making sure they receive the best care possible. Nurses must also treat families of patients with kindness, realizing they are going through a stressful situation also. Nursing is a responsibility to provide the best care regardless of the patient’s age, race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or their past.
I have a heart for service and a strong desire to make a difference in people’s lives. Becoming a nurse I will be able to fulfill my passion of making a positive impact on individual lives on a daily basis. I will be able to fulfill my nurturing and caring desires of helping others. I’m very passionate and fascinated with the medical field in all aspects. I strive for excellence, integrity and love interacting with all diversity of people.
This essay will discuss the core professional values of nursing and how they are important for the delivery of safe, high quality care. Competent and compassionate nursing care of the sick has a long tradition as a valued public service in Ireland. However, several reports, including Lees Cross 2006, Aras Attrachta 2013,2015, Portlaoise 2014, have challenged this position. The core values were reaffirmed in Ireland in 2016 (Department of Health, 2016) These values are identified and agreed as Caring, Compassion, and Commitment they advise basic leadership by guiding each nurse and midwife to deliver safe, effective, high quality holistic care.
