1. Explain How A Specific Event Circumstance
‘. Explain how a specific event, circumstance, or situation has helped shape some aspect of your personality or interests.

I remember back to 11th grade in high school I faced difficulties with my health that caused me to miss school. The majority of 11th grade I was either in the hospital or at home. For anyone in the hospital, it can be quite a scary place that leaves you hopeless, but I realized a lot about myself in that year. To me, I saw that nurses are there to offer invaluable support to those in great pain or who are dying. The hardships I’ve faced made me realize my dream to become a nurse because nursing to me is more than a profession of passion and integrity, and I feel as if my situation has greatly impacted me to become a nurse.

The 11th grade is such an exhilarating yet dreadful year of a teens life because it’s the second last year before everything is over, and we go off into the real world. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to experience much of that. Being in and out of hospitals and sporadically thinking about school became almost to impossible for me I was left feeling hopeless. The infrequent days I attended school I got eerie feelings that were unexplainable. To me, there was no hope of catching up in school or even graduating because of constant hospital visits. However, one day in the hospital something hit me. I noticed how I felt a sense of comfort at the hospital I didn’t get that eerie feeling I had at school. At the hospital I felt a sense of comfort because nurses would always be there to support me. That’s when I realized that I was meant to be in the hospital not as a patient, but as a nurse. So that’s what I was determined to achieve. I then went back to school with a clear mindset, and positive

Everyday nurses show-up for duty, receive their patients, and without hesitation begin to become a valued member of an extended family.

    There have been many occasions in my life that I have spent time in hospitals, nursing homes and by the side of a sick relative. When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he spent as much time as he could at home with his family by his side and when the time came, he was transferred to hospital, I was 14 at the time, still very young I knew it was not about how I was feeling, this pain was his and my grandmothers. I helped look after him for the two years he was diagnosed and it was during that time, I knew where my heart was and that was nursing. With my own experience of being in and out of hospital with two complicated pregnancies, I was in awe of the nurses and midwives who did everything they could to make me feel secure and safe, I was inspired and made an already certain career choice, even more evident.…

    I like to believe that there are an array of factors and values that I have encompassed throughout my life that have played a role in forming my personal philosophy of nursing. I have always viewed myself as a kind and compassionate individual who enjoys helping others. As I have previously mentioned, my mother has been an oncology nurse for my entire life. I view her as one of, if not the main influential aspects in deciding upon my career. When I was younger I always enjoyed hearing her stories or reading her letters from patients about how helpful and caring she had been. She always came home with a smile on her face and would say that even after the most stressful day, knowing that she was able to make a difference in someone else’s life, is what kept her going. I have used that as a fuel in my own career. I made it one of…

    My decision to become a nurse came very early on in my life and from then on my desire to be a nurse has only grown. In May of 2005 at the young age of 8, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The diagnosis was a very frightening experience for me but what really helped me through it was of course my family but also very importantly the nurses who were there by my side taking care of me. Over the years I have been taken care of by numerous nurses both in the hospital and in many doctor’s offices and each of them has had a unique and positive impact on my life. They have inspired me to want to take care of others not only from a healthcare perspective but also emotionally and mentally. My nurses have taught me that being a nurse is more than just taking care of people that it is also about relationship building. They have helped me realize my goals of being able to impact the lives of others, being able to build relationships, and being able to continually learn in my career throughout my lifetime. Through the care and attention they have shown me I have grown to realize that I have a passion to do with my life what they have done for me, which is to care for and inspire others.

    There are two reasons I want to go into nursing. The first reason is that I love helping other people and taking care of other people. Being a nurse requires you to help and take care of others every day. The second reason is because I was inspired by a nurse when I was 13. My grandpa had a heart attack in 2008. I spent a lot of time by his bed while he recovered from the double bi-pass surgery he needed. He had four or five different nurses, but there was one nurse, Jessica, and she made me want to do what she did. She always cared for grandpa with a smile and a gentle touch. She made it her priority to make sure that my grandpa was comfortable during his stay at the hospital. Seeing her care for my grandpa in the gentle way she did made me want to become a nurse and take care of patients the same way she took care of him. I want to take my nursing career one of two ways. The first is to work as a trauma nurse in ER’s working with patients who need immediate help. The second path is to work as a pediatric nurse in a children’s hospital.…
