Admission letter

[jessikhamarie]

Hello,

I am writing my admission letter to the nursing program and would like some feedback on it. This is my first draft so I know I will be doing some editing and I plan to meet at my schools writing center for my final paper to get reviewed. The topic is" How do you plan to be successful in the nursing program" and I feel that I got off topic or wrote little on the topic. I`m getting stressed out writing this paper because we all know how important the admission letter is. Please be honest, I can handle it.

The health field has always sparked my interest when my grandparent`s physical well-being declined I took the initiative to help them physically, emotionally, and mentally. I feel that I was given a gift that most people don't have. Being a nurse isn't just providing safe, effective care to an ill or injured patient, but being compassionate, sympathetic, and caring told an individual and their families. Being a nurse has its benefits, rewards, and many opportunities to advance in the health field.

I knew nursing was my calling since I was a child, caring for my grandfather who suffered from three heart attacks and my grandmother who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes gave me this feeling of accomplishment and motivation to help others who are in need of help or are unable to care for themselves anymore. I volunteered at my local hospital in the hospice unit, where I got the opportunity to get a better understanding of what a nurse handles on a day-to-day basis. I learned while volunteering in the hospice unit the skills and knowledge to know how to address individuals facing an end of life issues, and how proper palliative care is administered, in addition, learning how to correctly approach mortality. This opportunity inspired me more to pursue my dreams of becoming a nurse. I worked with elderly patients who suffered from dementia, arthritis, respiratory diseases, osteoporosis, and so on. Though I worked with elderly patients, and I enjoy every aspect of it, my heart is set on becoming a pediatric nurse.

The nursing program will be a challenge and an adventure for me, but I plan to be successful in the nursing program by staying organized, being prepared, joining a study group, and balancing my social and work life. I`ve accomplished many of my goals thus far in my life and I'm determined and dedicated to doing what it takes to accomplish my dream goal of becoming a registered nurse. I believe my friendly and energetic personality is what draws children of all ages to me. The feelings I get when I see a child smiling gives me this warm feeling, a feeling that I could be potentially making a change in their life.

After completing the nursing program, I plan on working in the hospital as a registered nurse and continuing my education in hope of working in the neonatal unit as a pediatric nurse. The day my daughter was born she had to have emergency surgery, while she stayed at the hospital I witnessed several infants who had no family support or sympathy.

With my experience and knowledge, I feel that I can make an impact on society and continue to show compassion, sympathy, and warmth to those around me. I`m hoping that I will be given the opportunity to contribute to my community and to help change lives. I don't believe there is any other profession that would bring me as much joy and happiness than becoming a nurse.
