  1. When choosing a career choice, psychologists often suggest picking something that matches good with your skills and values. An activity that I took pleasure in since I was a child was playing, "teacher." Children engage themselves in things that bring them happiness. I loved the idea of being a role model to my "students." Teamwork always stood out to me and I loved being a part of it. I had such a deep passion for helping others. Whenever I would get the chance to aide a "student" in an issue him or her were having, a rush of excitement would flow through my body. Not only did I love the idea of teaching others, but I enjoyed being the change in someone's day. This happiness as a child is what later evolves into the satisfaction adults feel in their career. From the age of eight to fifteen, I helped care for my best friend who was ill. She was through about 120 surgeries at the time and she needed help with basic things. I would help her with school work, introducing her to others and getting her out of the house, and girly things like makeup and hair. I was also there for the rough times; the hospital visits and the long nights of tears. During this time is when I realized my natural abilities would lead to my true passion of working in the healthcare field. Caregiving was a way of life for me. I later narrowed it down to focusing on nursing. I watched the way my friend looked up to her nurses and how much they would influence her good days. She formed much closer bonds with them then she had with any other doctor. I watched how excited she would get when they would enter her room. I aspired to make impacts on others the way they impacted her. Not only did they impact just her, but entire family as well. The nurses went down the emotional path with everyone. They stood by her side no mater what. It was her shoulder to cry on and her call for help whenever it was needed. I cannot wait to someday spread my positivity through the patients rooms as they did for my friend. Nursing will not become a 9-5 job for me, it will be a lifelong duty- on and off of the job. Nursing is an exquisite adventure and I'm ready to explore. I'm in search of watching miracles occur right in front of my eyes. Discovering new techniques is what I will push for. Every day is different in the medical field, and that is one of the aspects I am most excited for. I love the idea of being challenged everyday and learning more and more. The fast paced environment triggers my energy and gets my brain going. Nursing is one of the only professions that has an unlimited potential for growth which allows my passion to be endless. Having a passion for helping others is a great quality to have as a nurse, but I am interested in so much more than just that. Science and math have been my favorite subjects and being able to put them both together in my future career intrigues me. Health science allows me to expand my mind and I live for that. It is a field that never stops uncovering more information and I can't wait to be a part of that. I will contribute everything my brain and feelings have to offer. I am passionate about the challenges I will face in the future. One of the biggest challenges I think I will struggle with in this program is time management with clincals, classes, and life outside of school. It can be overwhelming, but I will push through until I get where I need to be. In order to overcome this I will not procrastinate, i will set the needed amount of time aside to study each night, and
  2. Could you give me some pointers? I'm going to rewrite to try and make it more organized and flow better. But any advice will help! I was really struggling with how to start it out.
  3. Thank you! Along with me being passionate about helping and the health sciences, I also really would love to be a nurse to change the outlook people have on them. So many people complain about the nasty nurses they have and I would like to be that change however I don't know how to word it. I can't say that nurses have a bad reputation because that's only true for a certain portion. I suck at flow in essays.
  4. so my essay is due tomorrow at 11:59 pm.Wondering if anyone has any pointers/edits to make this essay better??? The prompt was to explain my interest in nursing and what challenges i think i face in the program & how i will overcome them. Thanks!!! Realizing and focusing on my natural abilities and passions has helped me to figure out what my true passion throughout life has been. My desire to make a difference in others lives began when I was eight years old. My best friend struggled with a condition of the brain called hydrocephalus since she was born. Around that age was the time when I was really able to become knowledgeable to the issue and witness the obstacles she had to face on a daily basis. She wasn't expected to make it past the age of five, and she is now twenty-one years old. She has gone through over 300 surgeries. I've been around so many situations where I saw nurses play a huge role. They not only positively impacted the lives of their patients, but the entire family as well. My friend formed bonds with some of the nurses that she never had with anyone else before. They were her shoulder to cry on and her call for help whenever it was needed. They were able to make her feel comfortable and turn her bad days into good ones. I witnessed it multiple times. She would tell me how much she loved them. Recovery went by faster when she had her nurses around. I hope to one day have that kind of positive impact on patients. Being a nurse is an adventure and I'm ready to explore. I'm in search of watching miracles occur right in front of my eyes and aiding them along the way. I would consider myself as patient, understanding, and determined. Once I begin something, I will not stop until it is fully completed. Being able to say, "I'm going to be a nurse" fills my heart with pride and joy. Nursing is nothing like a 9-5 job; it's a lifetime of dedicated work, on and off of the job. As I continue to grow, my desire to achieve the nursing profession only gets stronger. Anytime I step foot into the hospital my energy just starts to flow. The fast paced environment triggers me. Being able to impact a complete stranger everyday is so powerful. The feeling that one gets when they change someone's entire day around and help him or her is unexplainable. It is my deep passion to help others safe and effectively. It would truly be an honor to spread my positivity and knowledge throughout the patient's rooms. The science aspect of nursing really stands out to me. Science and math have always been two of my favorite subjects and being able to put them both together in my future career gets me so excited. I have a deep interest in the health sciences and being able to learn something new everyday fascinates me. Science never stops and new discoveries happen every single day. I can't wait to be apart of that. I am passionate about the challenges ahead. One of the biggest challenges I believe I will face in this program is time management with clinicals, classes, and my life outside of school. It can get to be a lot, especially all at once. I will overcome this by not procrastinating; staying on top of my work, and studying the amount needed each night. I will always put my career first. I will be sure to get an organized schedule down and stick to it throughout this program and my future. Another challenge I think that I will struggle with is not knowing absolutely everything. I will be surrounded by tons of knowledgeable students. I will overcome this by expanding my mind and accepting that I wont always know it all. I will work with my fellow classmates to learn more and help one another out. I love team work and I believe that is one of the greatest aspects of being a nurse. I need a unique program that is loaded with education and learning tools to serve as my foundation in my path to becoming an exceptional nurse. I believe that ....School of Nursing can fulfill that for me. I hope to graduate as a ....!
