Nurse practitioner school - Personal Statement Example

NURSE PRACTITIONER SCHOOL (A personal ment) ID Number: of number: of University (affiliation)Location of University:Word Count: 322 (text only)Date of Submission: August 11, 2014A PERSONAL STATEMENTI had originally taken up nursing for the love of serving other people. Over the years, I had been assigned to various positions of responsibility in the nursing profession and had gained a lot in terms of professional experience which greatly advanced my career in nursing. I started out as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in medical-surgical nursing because this served as a real foundation in the art and science of nursing.

It was an entry-level position but working in wards gave me valuable experience in caring for the sick, the injured, the disabled, and convalescent in both clinical and hospital settings under the direction of registered nurses and licensed doctors.I was subsequently requested to work in specialty surgery by a vascular surgeon due to my efficiency, experience, and expertise in various aspects of nursing. I did this for several years as I also worked and furthered my studies to obtain my registered nurse (RN) license.

This was later on followed by working as a charge nurse in a very busy trauma center where I gained more knowledge in performing a variety of administrative and clinical duties by providing quality care nursing and coordinating total nursing care for patients and residents alike. My other duties had included implementing specific programs, procedures, and processes, expediting work flow but still ensure accuracy in quality health care, and being actively involved in many committees that recommended and implemented various evidence-based practical measures in nursing.

I went on several medical missions in the past and these experiences were instrumental and influential in my desire to obtain a masters degree in nursing. Medical mission trips are very good ways to get grounded in reality and give back to underprivileged people right here within our own borders (Fahlbusch & Bromiley, 2003). The work of a nurse is quite challenging but is also extremely rewarding which is why I desire to obtain a masters degree in due time. ReferenceFahlbusch, E. & Bromiley, G. W. (2003).
