Hi,

I was recently selected to have the oppurtunity to describe myself more and givent the oppurtunity to explain why i think the hospital will be a good oppurtunity to begin my nursing career. well i haven't written an essay since school almost a year and a half ago. Please help on how I should go about this. especially if im unsure about the hospital. any help would help?

We would like to provide you with another opportunity to tell us about yourself - in your own words, please send me more information on "why (the hospital)" would be a great place for you to begin your nursing career, AND why you feel we should consider you for this hospital.

I think that you are the only one who can answer why working at that facility would be good for you and for the facility, but here are few things to think about:

What kind of strengths do you have to offer the facility? Why chose that one over the one down the street? What can that hospital offer you?

Did you write any essays to gain admission to the college you went to? Pull those out for some inspiration.

Good luck - if you come up with something, maybe you would share it with us?

I think basically you want to summarize what you would say in an interview. Just write the essay as though you are sitting in an interview and this question was posed to you. Then you get to think about it and add more information as you come up with ideas. Sell your strengths and positive qualities. Read the job description for the position and the hospital's core mission and core values and tie in those values in your essay.
