Personal Statement: A Career As An Adult Nurse

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.
Nurses and other healthcare professionals provide an extraordinary service and being part of the NHS and working alongside such inspirational men and women would be a privilege and a challenge, which I would meet with open arms.
Being a mature student applying for Adult Nursing, it has given me the clarity and determination to pursue a career where I know my skills are best suited. Adult Nursing is my own calling in life and can only be met with excitement and determination.
I want to provide invaluable care every day. I have no doubt that studying nursing will be met with challenges and hard work but I will meet each and every part of my job with good intention and perseverance and hopefully inspire others to pursue a career in Nursing.
I have worked since I was 14 years old and up until I had my children, I was always in full time or part time
