CCU Personal Statement

Decent Essays
I have chosen the field of nursing for a couple of reasons. First, I am a very compassionate person and I know that there is a need for more dedicated people to do this job in our community. Second, I have a love for science. I feel like I have been pointed in the direction of nursing after giving much thought as to how I would be able to handle the job and how I can make a difference in someone else's life.

I would love to be a part of CCU's nursing program because I am a strong believer in Christ and the thought that he calls to a job where we can not only help ourselves, but help others in our society. The fact that CCU teaches in a Christ centered format will make my relationship with Christ stronger, and also teach me to build better
