Personal Nursing Personal Statement

I took an interest in nursing four years ago. During this time my grandmother, who was my best friend fell and broke her hip. She was 100 years old so after her fall there wasn't much she could do on her own. It was heartbreaking to see the most strongest and independent person I know become so weak and depressed. I then made it my duty to take care of her when my mom or uncles couldn't. The things I saw disturbing a few years ago such as cleaning someones private parts and changing their dressing on rashes became something I didn't mind doing. My only concern was making sure she was comfortable. It was an amazing feeling when I helped her maintain hygiene, clean her bed, take her down the street in her wheelchair for some sun, serve her food

I will never forget the words she told me a few days before she past . She said " make sure that whatever you do , you use your touch". It was then I vowed to not only use my physical abilities to help others physically but also mentally and emotionally. I then joine all i could dealing with healthcare. I became a member f the allied health club at my school and a member of the Miami Dade Community Corp which will allow me to assist medical professionals aid people if a natural disaster happened. Hearing different health professionals and going to various seminars made me very passionate about the medical field. I was soon offered a job this past summer at a family practice to shadow and assist the nurse there during the morning and file and pull charts, and organize patients reports and information in the evening. I was extremely happy to wake up in the morning to go to work not only because i was getting paid for it but because I learned something new everyday . I thought that my job was to help oters but in return I gained more from the patients. There stories, jokes,encouragement, and wisdom kept me

These gifts may be judgment, imagination, problem solving , art , and the list can go on and on. The talents that God has placed in us usually contribute to who we are and our character. I am grateful that God has saw fit to place the skills of leadership,teaching,empathy,music, integrity , listening,and encouraging within me. 1 Peter 4:10 NLT says “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” That is just whatt I plan on doing, to use these gifts to serve others and God. These characteristics have been displayed at home,school, and church. In highschool was the prisedent of my classand the allied health club which has improved my ability to help with others and their various needs and request. I have een a saath school teacher and vacation bible school instructor which has enhanced my skills of teachng and lisstening. One of my favorite thngs to do is sing especially with people. Choir symbolizes how so many people can come together to make one beautiful piece with unison. Being in choir has allowed my skill of music and working with others develop. My intention is to continue to use and improve my characteristics in all areas of my life and I think nursing will do such. Being in the nursing program will allow me to apply my personal skills more and
