During this time I will have already taken my MCAT and applied to several medical schools at the age of seventeen. My professional goals are to become a surgeon and specialize in
After 10 years working as a registered nurse in many aspects of healthcare, felt an overwhelming desire to advance my career and myself to expand my role in caring for others. Becoming a nurse practitioner has always been a goal of mine. During my time working as a nursing manager, I became acutely aware of the need of skilled and talented providers that desire to provide passionate care to all individuals. I became especially concerned with the needs those with limited access to healthcare services. I knew my desire to care for individuals in a more autonomous role and I set out to develop the skills needed to meet the need I witnessed.
As an individual with a passion of stepping into the lives of others during testing times towards making life easier, I am determined to develop a fulfilling career as a nurse practitioner. Having graduated in BSN from Barry University in 2014, currently I am serving the emergency department at SMH as a registered nurse. My fervor of transforming into an impeccable nursing professional through sharpening my knowledge and skills has inspired me to continue my education. At present, I am enrolled for the Master of Science in Nursing program at the Nursing School of Barry University and getting specialized in Nurse Practitioner Acute Care. I look forward to graduating in 2020.
A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.
I want to become a professional in the Public Health field mainly to inform, educate, and help the community help themselves in this new world where diseases and health crisis are on the rise. I always felt as though this field chose me. At the age of fifteen, I was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Ten years ago, there weren't many types of research or information to help inform people living with this chronic illness. No help on how to keep the body functioning at an optimum level or how to help with the inflammation lurking throughout without only medication.
My first experience with the healthcare field was not as a sophomore in high school, I was preparing to add classes to my schedule for the following year and a friend recommended that I take the CNA course at the Jordan Applied Technology Center (JATC). I decided to apply, and the spring semester of my junior year, I was in the program. My professor was very kind and emphasized how working in the healthcare field is different from every other career path because our purpose is to help others. Therefore, as I studied to become a nursing assistant, I was able to realize that I enjoyed devoting my life to serving those around me. That was when I had my first experience with healthcare and when I decided, I wanted to become a healthcare professional.
I have always sought new experiences and wanted a personal "Wheel of Fortune" in life to guide me. Regardless of how I spin that wheel, it consistently lands on one crucial connection: bringing happiness to others by aiding them in their recovery journeys. Witnessing my grandfather's challenging journey with prostate cancer profoundly impacted me, igniting a passion to join the healthcare field. I aim to be an empathetic, loyal, and steady support system for my patients as they overcome obstacles, advocating for them as a Physician Assistant (PA). From a young age, I witnessed the trials and tribulations of my grandfather's recovery journey.

Whether it was from going on mission trips and working alongside my peers to help rebuild a community or performing and competing as a dancer, being a part of a team is something that I have always been very comfortable with. In 7th grade I found a new team that I would since aspire to be a part of. I became utterly fascinated with the medical field and all it had to offer because as a young teen I spent a lot of time as a patient in and out of the hospital and saw many providers from different specialties. I loved seeing the way in which different members of a healthcare team worked together for my benefit. While being the patient may have initiated my infatuation with the field, I knew that one day I had to be on the other side.
The strong Lutheran foundation at Valparaiso University that prepares students to lead and serve in the community. In addition to the church, and society offers me the opportunity to pursue a Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree. The university's foundation and family-centered focus make it a great place for work-study. Although no one ever suggested that my journey to become a Registered Nurse would turn out to be a faith-based journey, I transitioned from Medical Assistant to Registered Nurse in 2017. I enrolled in an LPN program with only 12 weeks until graduation, but the school closed with no further information.
My goal while attending RCC is to start taking all of the necessary classes and programs to become a very successful registered nurse that I know I can be. I always wanted to take part in a career that not only is active, but has a big, positive impact on the community. That career I was looking for ended up being healthcare. I found this out while working at Providence Medford Medical Center as a Patient Care Technician and it makes me want to strive to do more. I would be a good addition to the nursing workforce because I am resourceful, compassionate, adaptable and detail oriented.
Nursing is my life. I have dedicated my life to pursuing this dream and it truly consumes everything I do. I want to become a nurse because caring for others touches me in a way I can hardly describe; it truly sets my soul on fire and gives meaning to everything I have done to get where I am today. When I was 16, I decided to become a certified nursing assistant.
Although I have only been a Nurse since age thirty six; the medical field has been a major impact and part of my life for as long as I can remember. My journey in the medical field began as a Nursing Assistant in long term care. After several years working as a Certified Nursing Assistant, I decided to go to Practical Nursing School. I worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse in long term care and hematology/oncology outpatient clinic. As I continued to grow within my profession I began to realize the immense amount of gratification I found and thought the sky is the limit.
I am currently a nurse and want to further my career and education. After being referred by a previous graduate and doing research on Centra, the college, and it's affiliates, I decided this program would be amongst my top three schools academically based, locality, and its RN to BSN program. Also with Virginia Baptist and Lynchburg General's reputation I feel it would really prepare me to get the extra knowledge, skills, and practice I need to become a successful registered nurse. I am very determined, compassionate, and love what I do; being able to make a difference in someone else's life is something I really take pride in.
Ever since I can remember I have always wanted to make a difference and help anyone in need that I possibly could. From the start of my childhood, I can recall helping my mother care for my great grandparents, so they would be able to live out the rest of their lives from their home, instead of in a nursing home. As a young child it was extremely difficult to live with and watch my loved ones deteriorate as they got older, as their condition got worse and worse, and saw my mother having a difficult time keeping up with caring for both of my great grandparents 24/7, it put a lot of stress on the family. However, I am grateful to have been able to help my mother care for them. Growing up in such a caring and loving household made the situation
