Ariadne Zamora

March 29, 2012

My name is Ariadne Zamora, I am 26 years old and I have a 4 year old daughter name Liliana Mae and 3 month old baby boy name Aaden James. My kids are my big motivation to finish school, that way I can give them a good life and good future ahead.

My motives for becoming a Registered Nurse haven’t always been as set in place as they are now. I have always, ever since I can remember, had the idea that this was the profession for me. I am an outgoing person who enjoys working with and helping people. Towards the end of high school I remember feeling rather unsure of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. After thoroughly reviewing my choices, I decided that nursing seemed to be the profession that encompassed all of my strong points and offered me challenges that I would enjoy seeking and accomplishing. Nursing is more than a profession of integrity and compassion, it is a privilege that measures out my values as a human being and the responsibilities granted to me with the precious gift of life.

In order to become a registered nurse, of course, I must go through the proper schooling and training. My top choice of school is American University of Health Science. A friend of mine had told me about this school. I looked it up online and checked what this school is all about. I compared it with other nursing schools and by far this is the school that got my attention. I checked it out and had spoken to one of the administrators and was very much interested with everything that she told me.

I know that I will be able to get a good education at your school which will help me pursue my career in the medical field as a Registered Nurse. I believe that my focus, determination, and having a strong appreciation for academics, especially the life science, makes me a good candidate to become a student at your school. I am an industrious student and I take my studies

    My personal nursing mission statement is changing and developing as my career advances, however, one core piece will remain constant. I will strive to provide the best, safest, most ethical and compassionate nursing care that I can for all patients and family members with whom I come in contact. I began my post-high school academic career as an accounting major. I enjoyed the challenge of manipulating a report until I had balanced. I thought I had found my calling. As my first semester was nearing an end, I found myself contemplating the thought of sitting behind a desk all day. I wondered if I would find fulfillment in this work as a career? The more I pondered this thought, the more I realized that this was not the right career path for me. I saw images of the medical assistant program in the catalog at the school where I was attending. I could not shake the thought of the medical field for a profession. I attained my medical assistant degree and worked in the field for 10 years. The longer I worked, the more I realized that there was more that I wanted to do, but my current degree restricted me from going further. I researched nursing school programs and selected one with a night/weekend program that would allow me to continue working full-time during my studies. I have a family that I needed to continue to provide for and this seemed to be the best fit. My nursing school decision was fortified when I was selected for an award by the nursing faculty from all four semesters for excellence in the clinical setting. After graduation, I began my nursing career working as a case manager for orthopedic worker’s compensation patients. During this time I gained critical knowledge of the importance of clear documentation, the ever-changing requirements of insurance companies and an extra measure of compassion for…

    Being in the medical field for the past ten years, I have seen the growth and changes in the medical field. When I began my nursing career as a medical assistant, I noticed many other nurses continuing their education to be able to have greater hands on approach in nursing. This opened my eyes to the endless possibilities that a nurse can do, whether it’s with direct patient care or being a resource to patients and other nurses around. After completing my RN in May of 2015, I decided that I really enjoyed being a mentor and teacher to other nurses. That is why I am continuing on with my education in hopes to one day receive my Master’s degree in Nursing and be able to utilize the knowledge and skills that I build, to educate patients. I still…

    Nurses share the joys, pains, and triumphs of their patients. Everyday nurses show-up for duty, receive their patients, and without hesitation begin to become a valued member of an extended family. I initially went to school with the goal of becoming a medical doctor. At the time, I believed becoming a doctor was the only way I could ultimately give back to my community through my passion for science. The decision to pursue the field of advanced nursing, developed after sharing my concerns about healthcare in the Mississippi Delta with my local family nurse practitioner.…

    I have been interested in the nursing profession for years. Lack of experience at a younger age, perceived financial resource limitations, cross-country moves, etc. have all played a part in holding back allowing this interest turning into a reality. Now that I have had years in the retail, clinic and business pharmacy space to allow me to mature, I have educated myself about financial resources and have settled in my home of Phoenix, I feel that I am in a position to pursue becoming a registered nurse.…

    My intended career is to attain a career in nursing where I can express my care and patience to those who need it most. As I was growing up, I really enjoyed helping out and taking care of people in any way possible.

    For me, choosing to be a part of the nursing profession was not as easy as it may have been for others. I am not the daughter or granddaughter of a nurse. My mother was a single unemployed woman for most of my life. I knew I wanted to walk my own path, but I wasn’t certain what that was. When I entered the workforce, I didn’t follow my dreams; I simply followed familiar steps. For many years I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, but responsibilities held me back. I realized while I may be very good at what I was doing, I was not following my heart.…

    While at times emotionally and physically challenging, being a registered nurse has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. We are not just caregivers, but also role models for the community we serve and I am proud to be a part of this noble profession. Seeing first-hand the positive impact nurses can have on patients and their family members makes all of the stress and long hours worth it. I started my career four years ago on an adult medical/surgical unit. There, I was able to put in to practice my nursing school education and enhance basic nursing skills such as time management, talking to patients and families and working together with the interdisciplinary team to provide the best care possible.…

    I chose nursing as my profession because I wanted to make a difference and helping those in need. I have always been interested in the health sciences field since middle school – but I truly didn’t exactly know what I wanted to do until my last semester of my undergraduate at Texas Woman’s University. I realized that I wanted to be more hands on with patients and involved in their care. In my opinion, nursing is defined as a healthcare profession that focuses on the care of individuals, their families, and communities in order to reach their optimal potential for a healthy life. The four components (Patient, Nursing, Environment, and Health) of nursing will help me to be able to develop my philosophy of nursing.…
