Since childhood, I have intended to spend my life ‘making a difference' rather than just making a living. I pursued a bachelor's degree in biology thinking of medical school; however, as I became aware that nurses have much more direct patient contact, I decided to pursue a career in nursing. Since I began, I have experienced the great satisfaction of making a beneficial difference in my patients' lives. I have been fully confirmed in my choice and wish to advance as far as possible within the field.
I have been a professional registered nurse since February 2015. I initially served on a Medical/Surgical/Orthopedic floor. I applied to work in the ICU early this year and regard the success of my application as a reflection of my superiors' confidence and recognition of my intelligence, enthusiasm, skills, and potential. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in ICU, which has enhanced my nursing skills and knowledge.
I have now carefully considered my ‘next step’ in nursing. I have concluded that the CRNA role is an ideal ‘fit.’ The specialty draws me academically and professionally because of the exciting and constant advances in equipment and techniques. I am confident that I possess the necessary intellectual capability, high-level communication skills, an analytical approach to problems, and the ability to work with significant autonomy while being an influential member of a cross-disciplinary team. However, I am attracted by the prospect of providing vital patient service of effective and safe pain management.
My professional goals are to qualify as a Nurse Anesthetist and go on to gain considerable experience serving in a hospital. I look forward to being involved in research. I am particularly interested in the genetics of heritable variability in severe pain traits, including inflammatory and neuropathic hypersensitivity, and the role of GABAa receptors in anesthetic action. My degree in Biology will, I am confident, help me to be a creative thinker as a nurse and good at problem-solving.
I know that the program will be intellectually demanding, and I am confident that I am equipped to excel within it rather than merely succeed. I earned a GPA of 3.78/4 in my nursing degree.
I have been raised as a Christian and consider volunteer activity an obligation rather than an option. I have been involved in several volunteer programs, such as the Ronald Macdonald House Charity, which provides practical help to families whose children are seriously ill, and the Angel Food Ministries, which provides food relief to families in needy families continued to give my time and expertise throughout my life.
I have studied, worked, and socialized with people from many ethnic and social backgrounds. I get on quickly with others and have a well-developed sense of humor. I am a native English speaker but have a basic proficiency in Spanish, which I hope to enhance when time permits. I am increasingly aware of the importance of non-verbal signals in providing nursing care, recognizing, interpreting, and responding appropriately to such calls from patients and their families.
I know that nursing can be emotionally demanding, and I strongly believe in pursuing outside hobbies and interests to maintain balance and a rounded personality. I am a proficient photographer; I always have at least one book ‘on the go,’ I enjoy exploring my home city and discovering its role in making our country; I love music and am a dedicated ‘movie buff.’
To summarize, I have the intellectual capacity, personal characteristics, and passion for the specialty, enabling me to excel.
Thank you for considering my application.
Christianity is the dominant religion in the West, and it has a natural link to the underserved which is mentioned in this statement. The downtrodden, the oppressed, the poor, those in prison, those who lack food and clothing - as well as the sick - all of them are seen as loved in a unique way by God. Thus, with its prominent emphasis on the sanctity of the underserved, nursing is a natural career choice for a serious Christian who believes the message. This applicant has expressed their concern for the underserved through volunteer work, bringing food to the hungry. This link between religious faith and helping the underserved is further illustrated by this applicant already having achieved an intermediate or conversational level in Spanish. This application statement is endearing, admirable, inspiring, and heartwarming. The applicant is quite likely to be accepted.
