I respect and admire your experience in the field. You are well equipped for the advanced practice role. There are a few typos and grammatical areas to address but I think your statement clearly reveals your passion and dedication to the profession. As reeya stated, give a clear indication of what you plan to do with the DNP education. Obviously this may change but demonstrate you have a clear plan upon graduation. For example, work in the PICU, ED, private practice, etc. Best of luck to you. I am just beginning the process of applying to NP school and I envy your clinical experience!

I am not an English major either I scanned your post quickly. I think your discussion of past and present professional career is good with examples of flexibility, adaptability and eager to learn more. About future goals, may be clarify a little bit about "what" you want to do with DNP. You've stated you want to finish DNP by 2015. Maybe explore further about what is it that draws your interest in doctorate degree (scholarly activities-->research, academics, writing etc) or (NP practice->leadship, administration, practicing NP seeking more knowledge, healthcare business etc).
