Dear nursing admissions committee,
My name is Fallon Franqui I am a 24yo mother of three. I am currently a licensed practical nurse for roughly eight months. I was previously a certified nurse's aid for six years. I would consider myself to be a very determined individual. Once I set a goal I accomplish it no matter the task. As a mother I strive to demonstrate to my children that all is possible as long as you are motivated and willing to work hard toward your goals. Ever since a young age I knew I was destined to care for others. As a child I was always inclined to help my friends and family. My mother has suffered from leprosy for a very long time and throughout my life I have cared for her. At times being a caregiver has taken a toll on my scholastic ability. While in college my mother's leprosy caused other complications with her health, I had to withdraw from school a few times and unfortunately once or twice I was too late to do so and my grades resulted in failure. I have never let this hold me back. When I enrolled in the LPN course it became my chance for redemption. I had longed to become a nurse and further my education. While in nursing school I had numerous memorable clinical experiences. Being able to get a taste of different areas in the nursing field opened my eyes to the possibilities in a nursing career. I personally enjoyed being in the pediatric unit, on the mental health unit and in the emergency setting. While on the pediatric unit I cared for a 7 year old boy who had been rushed in for an emergency appendectomy. He was around the age of my oldest daughter at the time. He was so little yet so brave. It was rewarding being able to care for him watching him recover and being a part of that process. Not only was I assessing his incision and administering his medication, I was interacting with him, playing with him , making him smile and making him more comfortable in the hospital setting. It was so rewarding to see him go home all betterâ€, he hugged me that day and thanked me for being his friend, he said. Our clinicals where mostly held in the reading hospital, it was a letdown for me once I realized that in order to work in the hospital a nurse must be registered. This is when my next goal began to formulate in my career checklist. I decided I needed to become a registered nurse.
The reading hospital school of health sciences has a competitive curriculum and it would be an honor to be accepted into the nursing program. I believe I am a perfect fit despite some minor bumps in the road, I am determined and focused on becoming a registered nurse. I currently work the flex position at my job and have a very supportive family that are willing to help me in my endeavors. I have previous medical experience and truly am dedicated to becoming the best nurse possible. My life experiences have helped me to realize that nursing is my calling, that when given the opportunity to help and care for others I feel best about myself and I thrive. Thank you all for your time and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.
