Nursing Entrance Essay
It's an exciting time in my life! I have a tremendous opportunity to create my future, and have now come to my first major crossroad as I begin this journey. Having realized that life is about choices, I am very fortunate to clearly know that my future purpose is to help others, while also challenging myself to the be the best that I can be. A career in healthcare is my desire, and represents the opportunity for me to realize my dreams. As such, I expect to be the very best and therefore want to receive my education from xxx College, clearly the leader in my desired field of study. I ask that the xxx team accept me into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program, with my intention to ultimately enter into the Master of Science Program in the specialized field of Nurse Anesthesia.
If Clarkson College could only admit one more student, why should it be me? I am confident that my personal character, beliefs and work ethic align directly with those values that xxx represents, and the Healthcare industry requires.
Who am I?
Born and raised in a small community in Central Illinois, I spent my childhood growing up near family and friends. Being part of a very stable and happy family, I had no immediate pressure to worry about my future or the direction I would ultimately take. Like many young people, I focused on the social aspects of high school, actively participating in sports, gymnastics, dance and the extra-curricular aspect of this time of my life. Hindsight always makes things more clear, as I now know that I should have expended more of my effort towards academics with a focus on the future. However, I have no regrets, as this set the stage for a dramatic change in my outlook.
My family relocated in 2011 to the xxx area. My father accepted a position with a new company, my family moved from the place that I was born and raised, and my life immediately changed. My friends were no longer close-by, and extended family was now 8 hours away.
