Hi guys,
I'm currently a student at oakton. I'm planning to apply for UIC fall 2014 program. I'm just really confused on the supplement application and the essay questions. Can you guys please give me any advice for the essays. I have gotten Nurse Care Technician training for advocate Lutheran General Hospital but I just volunteer there right now. I have been volunteering since 2010. My GPA is 4.0 right now. I'm talking my first A&P 1 right now. I have about 33 credit hours that can transfer to UIC. I'm just confused on what to write. I just don't know where to start writing. Please the people who have actually gotten accepted here, can you please give me some useful advice? the deadline for application is January 15, 2014.
The question in supplement application are:
What is your understanding of the role of the professional nurse and why have you chosen to pursue nursing as a career? (maximum 400 words)
What qualities do you believe you possess that will help you be successful as a nursing student and later as a nurse? (maximum 250 words)
Describe a stressful or challenging situation you have experienced and how you dealt with it. Looking back, would you do anything differently. Please explain. (maximum 500 words)
What experiences have prepared you to work with diverse populations (e.g., racial/ethnic, age, gender, socio-economic) seeking healthcare? What is your understanding of cultural sensitivity? (maximum 500 words)
Please describe a situation in which you were called upon to act in a leadership role? (maximum 400 words)
What are your plans for being a full-time nursing student? Address time management, finances, and how you will balance family, work, and other commitments with full-time study. (maximum 250 words)
P.S. I just need advice. Don't worry I'm not telling anyone to write my essays so no offense to anyone. I want help from people who have actually gone through this process and have been successful.
THANKS A MILLION! may god bless all of you! thanks again! =)
