A nurse is someone who is compassionate, yet capable of setting emotions aside in order to critical think his or her way through a problem. A nurse is someone who can respect their patient’s privacy, personal opinions, values, and beliefs, even if different than his or her own in order to establish effective communication and a therapeutic nurse-patient relationship. A nurse is someone who advocates for his or her patient and vows to deliver optimal care while striving to preserve the patient’s dignity. I believe one of the most gratifying reward of being a nurse is contributing to improving and sustaining one’s quality of life.
I hope to become a part of BayCare’s nursing program so that I can take the next step towards my ultimate goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Thank you for your time and granting me the opportunity to apply to BayCare's Nursing Program. I eagerly anticipate becoming a part of your nursing program this spring of
