Personal Statement for Nursing

The Future of Nursing: Dynamically Impacting a Community The importance of maintaining ones health is a common perspective when viewing our aging population. It is said that a person has achieved “good health” when they are generally free from illness, injury, or pain. Yet, when we lack in meeting the criteria for “good health,” doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals are at the first line of defense for the rescue. It is also important that when face with discrepancy, we have good health care team. We need the doctor to diagnose the patient, and the nurse to be with patient to insure progressive recovery. Nurses are special; they are the voice for the patient at times when a patient needs to be heard; they are educators to the patient and the patient’s family; and last, but not least, they serve as the ultimate care giver. As an advocate for patients, I knew a career in nursing would be the profession that would allow me to thrive in an environment with motives of helping others. Nevertheless, I took the route of pursuing a biology degree to get a complete understanding of the human body. After intricate research, it is in my interest to apply my skills in this profession which will allow me to explore my compassion in health care. Through a career in nursing, I can be guaranteed that the knowledge I will be obtaining will be used to enhance some one's life. Nursing gives professionals the unique privilege of caring for a community of people at their most vulnerable moments. A nurse is required to be knowledgeable of each of their patient’s condition, and at the same time uniquely care for each individual for results of wellness. This profession appeals to me, because of the many roles a nurse is expected take on, and that makes choosing this profession rewarding. I believe that attending Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing will provide me with the challenging environment I will need to be the best nurse. This institution is praised
