This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write IN MY LIFE!!...My nursing application requires me to write why I should be considered for the nursing program, my concept of nursing, goals, and experience. Does this sound TOO CHEESY?????
My whole life I have had a passion for caring for others. Whether it was taking care of my ailing grandparents, picking up a child who had fallen, or just being a friend, I was there. I guess I have always longed to be a nurse, but never thought I had the brains or the courage to follow that path.
Being a stay at home mom for the last two years to my three daughters has given me the opportunity to step back and reflect on what it is that I want to do with my life. More than anything I want to be a nurse.
I long for the education and knowledge to be able to help others in need, and to be that bedside friend. Although I have no previous experience in the medical field, I believe that I have the capability and the desire to be the best nurse that I can be. I have grown a lot since the starry-eyed teenager college days from years ago. I am now prepared to do everything it takes to fulfill my dream.
I hope that you will accept my application for the Nursing Department at xxxx. I know that I will make a terrific nurse.
PLEASE DON'T LAUGH!!! I REALLY HATE WRITING ABOUT MYSELF. IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD LEAVE OUT BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TOO STUPID?:imbar

But you didn't use my suggestion.. you are a distant relative of Florence Nightengale:chuckle
Seriously it's very well written in my opinion and it does sound honest from the heart.

You know, I considered using the Nightingale thing, but I figured they would make paper airplanes out of my app when they saw that!
