Personal Statement: A Career In Nursing

Decent Essays
I believe that nurses have a very special and vital place in this world. To perform the act of helping others get through illnesses and tough times, all while being a huge support system, is incredible. Nurses go through hard schooling, long hours and shifts, and many late nights so they can make a positive difference in the lives of many people, and I think that’s pretty amazing.
I cannot express how thrilled and ready I am to pursue a career in nursing. After witnessing my brothers countless hospital trips due to his epilepsy, I grew a strong admiration for the nurses who showed him compassion, love, and kindness to make him feel safe, despite of his fears. It was then that I decided I wanted to become a nurse one day. As of now, I am hoping

    My nursing plan is to obtain my ASN degree and continue to work at Billings Clinic but transfer into PACU as an RN. I would like to work in PACU because it will give me the critical care nursing skills I desire to achieve, as well as a good place to begin my nursing career for experience. I like the idea of taking care of patients who are coming out of surgery and require extra care before they can go home or to a hospital room for overnight stay. As a nurse with an ASN degree my roll would be the same as most of the nurses on a hospital floor; although, in addition to the ASN I would need to obtain my critical care certificate to work in PACU. As a registered nurse with an ASN my roles in this healthcare setting would be to provide and manage quality care for patients, promote healthcare advancements of patient daily living and to ensure proper safety and infection control practices and techniques.…
