It really looks great to me. The content is what really matters, however, at a glance, I noticed a couple of grammatical oversights. I am NOT an expert, but see my thoughts below:

  • Remember to put commas before your conjunctions, such as "but": "My top two specialties include intensive care and emergency medicine, but..."
  • Since you already graduated, avoid using the present perfect tense in statements such as: "During my studies, I have learned to be a competent, critical thinking, holistic nurse." (Take out have)
  • It is a myth that you drop the 2nd comma in a series (the serial comma): "contributing to the health care community, patients, and their families."

Good luck.

I actually corrected one of those three mistakes already, but I sadly handed in 1 copy so far. I will make the correct adjustments from here on out. Thanks so much!
