I clearly remember the day I found my father lying on the sidewalk as he suffered from a stroke. I was barely a teenager when my father became ill. My family spent countless hours in the hospital, nursing home, and various doctors ' offices trying to learn what had happened to this man who was our pillar of strength. I recall how the nurses became his greatest advocate and always voiced their concern for him. In those moments I realized I had found my calling in the field of nursing.…
Presently, I am working as an LVN. Although I enjoy helping people and working in this field, I realize the scope of my practice is limited by the degree of my current license. Hence, I would like to pursue a R.N to help me obtain a more advanced and rewarding career in the nursing field. I believe that LA County College of Nursing is the great place to continue my career in nursing. The faculty members and opportunity for extensive clinical experience is inspiring.…
Thank you for the opportunity, to express my interest in the Registered Nurse Graduate Program, at St John of God Health Care. I am currently completing my third and final year at the University of Notre Dame. I believe my educational qualifications, past work experience and Christian background, would make me a great graduate nurse for St John of God Health Care. Working for St John of God, would be my top preference, as I value the ethos established for the hospital. How the values have affected St John of God hospitals, creating a nurturing environment, considering the duty of care to the patient holistically, including the body and soul.…
I started becoming fascinated with medicine at a young age. I would like to say that it started off with general curiosity, however it started off with my cousin in the hospital. She was 6 years old and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I remember going to the hospital and not being able to see her in person, but my mom would show me pictures of her. In these pictures, she had tubes in her body, and suddenly she did not look like my cousin anymore.…
My original interests began with psychology. I have always had a passion for the workings of the mind. One career I did not consider was nursing. My thoughts were, it took a strong hearted person to provide such intimate care to others and although I commended those people, I was not one of them. One event was all it took to forever change my view on nursing and ultimately, define my destiny.…
I am writing to you to inform you of my interest in the Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing Pre-Licensure program at Western Governors University. After thoroughly exploring all of my options I have come to the conclusion that the Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing program at your institution is my best option because it suits my personal lifestyle with its flexibility, affordability, and innovative approach towards education. I haven’t always known I wanted to do nursing. I actually thought for a long time that my calling was to become a Biomedical Engineer. Since a young age, I found passion in helping those in need but also a love for technological advances.…
My love for science has been demonstrated through my academic success, and I am confident in my ability to succeed in medical school. Along with my intellectual aptitude, my determination and compassionate nature drive me forward in my pursuit of becoming a physician. Furthermore, my desire to help others would benefit my peers because I hope to be a source of encouragement. I currently understand the struggles and stress other pre-med students face, and this is why after a difficult test or before a busy week my roommates and I plan something fun or eat desserts together.…
The thought of becoming a teracher for young kids, have always swimmed in the thoughts of my mind as a child. I have always had that passion and eagerness to want to help and guide them. I have always wanted to know that someday, I would cause a great impact on many of their lives and show them a route to a better future. My first ideals of becoming a nurse mainly had to do with self interest that I had with young kids. My mom always asked me why I always had so much love for kids like that?…
My life is rather very complicated. Of course, I know that I’m not the only one that lives like this, and that other people may have it much worse than I do. Whether its struggle with bills or all together as a family, I still try to do the very best I can. Although we have troubles, I don’t express my emotions of that matter, but rather be who I am, which is being happy and making every day possible. I’ve done community services with my church like going to nursing homes and feeding the people at the hospitality center.…
As a young girl I always imagined taking care of other people. It has taken what seems like a lifetime to even come close to accomplishing such goals. I started working in customer service when I was fifteen and over the course of sixteen years have found only one common factor, the people. These are the people that need a bright smile, a warm hug, or simply a kind gesture.…
It is very inspirational to see how doctors help others by healing them and saving their lives. There is nothing more fascinating that to see how the human body works, for instance, every tissue, muscle, bone, and every organ in our system work in conjunction making the human body the perfect machine ever created. Health care workers who really love their career make the difference in people’s lives, thanks to their dedication and compassion, health care workers make their patients feel loved and valued. Patients are the most important part of the health care team, they deserve the best attention from health care workers for their prompt recovery. I believe that a doctor’s greatest satisfaction is to see the recovery and improvement of a patient…
In 2015, my eight year old nephew nearly passed away. One minute he was fine, lying on his hospital bed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Hasbro Children’s Hospital; , the next, a code blue was called and he was rushed to triage and fell into a coma for a couple of days. Yadiel was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome at the age of five. He was a healthy, five year old boy who loved to play outside and at board games with his older brother and me. Suddenly, he became ill and, after numerous exams, received a diagnosis.…
Nurses are the backbones of any clinic or hospital sites. They provide health care in the best of their ability to help their patients but also be there for them as a person. Compassion and tolerance is key to being a nurse. There is no point of caring for other human beings especially those who are ill, if you can not be CARING. Nurses are just as important as any physician, just because they didn't earn a PhD, nurses are still just as helpful as any doctor in the medical field.…
I was 10-years-old, and in fifth grade when my grandmother was diagnosed with tuberculosis and had a lung biopsy. I used to visit her in the hospital with my father every day. All the anatomy pictures on the hospital wall intrigued me. After a while, unlike most 10 year olds, I loved visiting the hospital. I watched the doctors and the nurses taking care of the patients, and this gave me my first insight into what I wanted to be when I grew up.…
Simba with his flowing mane gazing upon the image of Mufasa painted in the clouds. This is the earliest Disney image carved in my mind. I spent hundreds of hours working on completing a massive jigsaw puzzle that my dad brought home from one of his travels. I remember how proud he was, and how accomplished I felt when I showed him the final result. Imagine my disappointment when a single piece went missing; Zazu’s beak.…
