Applying to as many schools as I can

Fun2, BSN, RN · Nov 10, 2005

Hi was wondering if anyone could give me some good tips. I am apllying to as many nursing schools as I can, and some applications ask you to write an essay. Can anyone give me some good tips on how to write a good essay for my application? Thanks I'd really appreciate it.:)

I'm not sure what they want, my school doesn't require an essay. I think you should write about your education, how you've learned so much already, and how you're looking forward to a nursing program with such a great reputation (hopefully lol).

Anyway, I just wanted to say welcome to Allnurses.com, and good luck! :)

Find out exactly what the essay should be about. Does it ask to describe life evens that have led you to pursue a career in nursing? etc..?

Some of the questions for the essay are why did you choose nursing as a career and reasons for attending nursing school, something significant in your life and what does nursing mean to you? I know the answers to every single question, I just want to sound more professional I'm not a great writer. :rolleyes: Thanks both of you for responding!

If you want, I'd be happy to review/edit what you have when you get something written.

For myself, just getting the paper started is the hardest thing.
