I am responding to your advertisement for a Registered Nurse (Job number: 096700) that appeared via http://www.countiesmanukau.health.nz/careers/our-jobs/nursing-and-midwifery/. I am a passionate nurse that can work in a culturally diverse setting. I am enthusiastic and a quick learner willing to undergo into an education programme that will increase my skill and widen my knowledge to provide the best healthcare managements for the patients. I believe that working in your challenging environment will provide an excellent opportunity for me to best utilize my skills while contributing to the healthcare community, patients, and their whanau/families. Although my annual practising certificate is on process, I hope that you will look favourable
As I embark on my journey to become a registered nurse at the master's level, I anticipate significant changes in my role and responsibilities. As a registered nurse, I will transition from a student nurse to a fully licensed healthcare professional. This transition entails a shift from primarily observing and assisting in patient care to taking on a more independent and autonomous role in providing comprehensive care to individuals, families, and communities. The standards for my new role as a registered nurse are established by professional nursing organizations, regulatory bodies, and healthcare institutions.
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.
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.
As an aspiring physician assistant, my professional pursuits directly align with Northeastern University PA Program’s mission, goals, and vision for the PAs the program strives to educate. Through my patient care experiences and community outreach opportunities with diverse patient populations, I have gained first-hand knowledge regarding the invaluable impact one single person can offer to a patient. One compassionate, creative leader who embraces cultural humility and an interdisciplinary approach can change the entire patient care experience. Demonstrating compassion as a clinician is at the forefront of how I deliver all patient care. I have had the fortunate opportunity to witness genuine compassion and radiate it myself at amplified levels while working on an inpatient medical oncology unit for three years.
I aspire to be a registered nurse. My passion to pursue this profession has led me to continuously pursue opportunities that prepare me for the rigorous path of earning a nursing degree. I enrolled in Bayside High School’s Health Sciences Academy; its challenging curriculum has led me to gain insight on anatomy, physiology, and forensic medicine. In addition to this, I volunteered in medical settings, such as Sentara Leigh Hospital and Beth Sholom Village’s Nursing and Long Term Care Facilities. I also became familiar with their role in patient care and learned how they interact with other medical personnel.
I am an experienced hardworking, reliable and motivated Senior Nurse. I lead by example and thrive on challenges. I am able to demonstrate excellent communication skills and this is evident when working well within the multi-disciplinary team (MDT). I have worked in Alder Hey children’s Hospital for fourteen years, working initially within the Oncology unit for eight years were I acquired a vast knowledge of sepsis.
I have always had a passion for furthering my education, and in the nursing field there are many opportunities to do that. As a recent inpatient, I was able to connect with my nurses and find a perfect connection between my love for people and the career itself. However, in my care I noticed that people were not always walking out of the hospital with the confidence that I wanted them to. When I become a registered nurse, I am confident that I will make a difference in the nursing environment so that patients are able to leave the institution stronger than they came in. I am also interested in pursuing a Master’s degree in order to become a nurse midwife.
A lifetime goal is one that people work hard for and it is what keeps them motivated to succeed in life. For me that motivation is to become a nurse, it is my main objective and what I look forward to. I decided on this career at the end of my sophomore year in high school. Therefore, I knew that for the last two years I needed to take courses that would help me reach my dream. First, I enrolled in a AP Psychology class because I know that a nurse has to comprehend what the patient is going through in order to service them in a good way.
This is a personal statement for my application to the Family Nurse Practitioner Concentration in the Ball State School of Nursing. My personal statement provides details on my personal background and the unique impact that Family Nurse Practitioners have had on my life. I describe my undergraduate studies and how I firsthand gained interest as well as insight on the skills of a Family Nurse Practitioner. I go into detail about my aspiration to be a Family Nurse Practitioner to directly affect the patient care of a variety of patient populations. The personal statement connects qualities of my current practice as a Registered Nurse to the proficiencies of a Family Nurse Practitioner.
'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.
The outcome of my goal is that by end of December I will be more confident in communicating with doctors, CNA’s, charge nurses’ and other members of the multidisciplinary team. The outcome will be to communicate effectively and with confidence. I will start this week (10/26) by telling my preceptor that I want to focus on improving my communication skills, especially with doctors. Next I will delegate/communicate with CNAs at the start/during my shift during the week of November 2. I will continue to communicate with preceptor to gain feedback on improvements in my communication style.
I am convinced that my commitment to patient care with the combination of previous and current skills will make me a highly valuable and positive addition to labor and delivery team. As a child, I grew up in a family of medical doctors and practically lived in the hospital. Throughout nursing school, I dreamed of working at the labor and delivery unit and always wanted to head in that direction. Now, working on an oncology with a large variety of patient care treatments and goal outcomes, I developed a new perspective about nursing care and acquired a habit to further train to fulfil my inner desire to heal and restore.
My clinical practice setting is in various acute care settings at a large teaching hospital in Toronto, where I am part of a nursing resource team. Most of my clinical experience is with oncology patient populations. This week, I was able to interview a family that I have cared for a couple of days as we have created a family-nurse therapeutic relationship, during that time I felt that they would be willing to proceed with the discussion of their illness experience. The patient was a sixty-five year old female woman; her admitting diagnosis is metastasised lung cancer with a poor prognosis, along with dementia as of a month ago. She is widowed for five years, her deceased husband passed away from congestive heart failure.
