Nurse Assistant Personal Statement

It was about more than decade ago; I was abroad in third world country, staying in a Hotel. My friend was also staying in that hotel. One morning, he did not show up for breakfast, when I went to check on him he was laying in his bed looking very weak. Even though, I had no medical knowledge at that time, but the sight of my friend vomiting struck me with empathy. I stayed with him brewing some chamomile tea and assisting him until he began to feel better. he finally regained his strength and told his friends and family of how much of help I was to him. Although, I have pursued other careers, it was at this time that I realized my passion for caring others. I then obtained some medical experience by working as nurse assistant, where I got an opportunity
I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Nursing from Oral Roberts University and obtained a registered nurse license. I worked in Hospital setting for more than five years. I was promoted to a different role as a charge nurse, preceptor in leadership clinical to senior university nursing students and mentored others by demonstrating integrity, accountability, moral and ethical leadership. In leadership I strived for best outcome by consistent planning, measuring and adjusting performance.
However, In the last two years, I have transitioned to care patients on several different units such as the Oklahoma Heart Institute, Rehab, Stroke, etc. As a nurse with over five years of experience, I have worked alongside doctors, PA and nurse practitioners daily. I believe Nursing is an avenue of continued learning, which involves critical thinking skills where I can also pursue to learn and continue to develop. Therefore, I am interested to continue my study to obtain graduate degree in online (MSN), Master of Science in Nursing with focus in (FNP) family nurse practitioner in Maryville
