Why I Chose Nursing University

Since my first visit to UCLA, it had become my ultimate dream school. I chose UCLA because it is a diverse research university in the heart of Los Angeles; a school that has produced accomplished people; and I am looking for a rich experience and a journey for the creation of achievements. Being part of such a great school is an encouragement to always do better and carry on with a better education. It is a place where, in the future, I would look back and feel proud for being part of. It is a school where I want to belong. I have chosen Nursing as my major because I want to pursue a career where I would be part of enhancing the lives of the patients and promoting them with a better health. I am interested in learning about everything in this field from examining patients and providing treatment for their immediate needs to supporting their long-term conditions. I chose UCLA School of Nursing for being a competitive and highly ranked school of nursing among the top schools in the United States.
Throughout my life, my school has always been my priority and my main focus.
I am willing to put in all the required effort to receive an undergraduate study in Nursing. My ultimate aim is to attain a Bachelor Degree in nursing and pursue a beyond study to earn a Master's Degree in Nursing in order to be a Nurse practitioner. I believe that I have a good potential for undergraduate study in nursing because I have attained high grades throughout all of my school years, especially in science and math; I have completed all of the requirements of the school of nursing and the universities in general; also I have a flexible personality and a strong
character. My decision to take the path of nursing started with the influence of two people that are really close to me, my uncle who is a nurse practitioner and one of my best friends who is a registered nurse. At first, they used to tell me about stories that happened with them during work and other things they have been through while studying in this field. Then, later on, I became more interested and thus, I was encouraged to learn more about this major. I have applied to volunteer at a hospital, that is not too far from where I live, but they take a long time to review volunteering applications. Therefore, I haven’t had an experience in a hospital, yet.
