Hi all, I have transcripts from multiple colleges in the past. Now I'll apply to Nursing School this Fall. Some transcripts don't have anything that can be transferred to the new Nursing degree. Do I have to send them those unrelated transcripts as well?

Ok, here are the thoughts I have ... will have more later on ... 1. I like to help people when they need >> is it too boring to say "help" ? 2. I want to save people's lives in anyway I can 3. I want to help my husband because he's sick and he'll need a nurse by his side 24/7 4. I want to travel to different places where there're victims of disasters to help them 5. I want to go back to my homeland to help the sick people who can't afford to pay for healthcare >> once or twice a year would be fine ....... what do you think of those thoughts?

Hi Scroll89, You're right. I don't think they want to hear that nurses make a lot of money and that's why I want to be a nurse lol From your first question, I have little direct patient care when I was in the Navy working in the Naval hospital. I wasn't a nurse at that time but the Navy trained me to do direct patient care to help the RN. However, when I got out of the Navy, I went into Pharmacy Technician instead of RN because I was scared of all of the deaths and pains of patients that I handled in the Naval hospital. But now, I want to go back to that experience because I finally realize it really means a lot to me. Pharmacy Technician is too easy for me and I know I can do more than just counting pills and mixing drugs. Well, I don't think I can say that in the letter because you're not supposed to degrade a profession over the other. Right? To answer your second question, I think that most great nurses have patience, good sense of humor, and organizational skills. By the way, the admin people at the university told me not to use the word "medical" in the letter. What do you think of that?

I'm ready to apply to Nursing School this Fall and have to write a letter telling them why I want to be a Nurse. Well, I start brainstorming now. If anyone has any tips or ideas that can help me write an excellent letter, please share with me. I greatly appreciate all of your inputs ... thank you in advance!!!
