Professional Mission Statement The knowledge I gained in this Professional Roles and Value course is that nursing has many professional roles. The changes of nursing from earlier history to today show a promise to the advancement and development of different nursing career opportunities in the future. Understanding regulatory agency, professional nursing organization, nursing history, professional nursing figures, theories, and nursing code of ethics, my knowledge has broadened in nursing. The functional differences between a regulatory agency and professional nursing organization made me aware of the benefits and services they offer for nursing.
Dear Chair of the Academic Standards and Readmissions Committee, I am writing to express my earnest desire for readmission into the veterinary program at Kansas State University starting this upcoming fall semester. I hope that I can convey through this letter my sincere appreciation for what this program has gifted me and the lengths I am willing to go to in order to earn back my spot as a student at Kansas State University. I would like the chance to prove that the grades I received last semester are not indicative of my passion and respect for veterinary medicine, nor do they define my potential for being an exceptional veterinarian. Since receiving my dismissal letter, I have been reflecting on where things went well for me this year and
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.
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.
Profile Essay While working several shifts in an Alzheimer's unit in a local care facility, I had the opportunity to meet a registered nurse named Sarah. Sarah had plenty of insight on what it is like being a nurse in a facility. During my observations of her duties I witnessed many things that opened my eyes as to what I want in my future career choices.
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.

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.
I plan to join the Emergency Nurses Association after I graduate. Their mission statement is, "To advocate for patient safety and excellence in emergency nursing practice." This mission statement appeals to me because advocacy is the reason I chose to become a nurse instead of a physician. Physicians focus on ilness/disease/injury and how to treat it. In my experience it is a view of, "The patient with diabetes, leukemia, Addion's, ect."

Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to go into the medical field. I have wanted to be a nurse because I love working with people and helping people out. One thing that has always interested me was medical things, I love going to the doctor's office and also going to the hospital because I love to see what is going on in the building and how the doctors and nurses do their job. When visiting a medical building, whether I'm the person getting the treatment or not, I always ask the employees questions such as, "what is your favorite and least favorite part of the job" and "if you could go back would you change what position you entered in the medical field. " As I got older I thought that working with babies would make being a
Dear Provost Committee on Scholarship Review, I am an upcoming sophomore and the purpose of this appeal is for the reinstatement of my scholarship. My first year of college was a year of realizations. After finishing off my first year, I learned more about my strengths and weaknesses, and in turn what major would be best suited for me. I realize that I cannot excel in a major that is chosen for me. The only way to achieve my full potential is to make a drastic change and switch my major.
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
