Registered Nurse Personal Statement

Like the MEPN program, I’m committed to engaging, educating, and treating underserved communities alongside like-hearted healthcare professionals. My deep compassion, extensive work experiences, and honed leadership skills have uniquely equipped me to bring my own contributions to the richness of the MEPN program. It doesn’t stem solely from my upbringing but from my proactive determination to develop and transcend within my work and education. Additionally, I firmly believe that the art and science of quality and inclusive healthcare begin with understanding the challenges and needs of underserved populations.

The consensus model also allows them to move freely state to state. This model has support from 48 different nursing associations, which shows that the support is there for implementation (NCSBN, 2017). Nursing plays an essential part in shaping the future of healthcare to improve quality, safety, and cost and this happens by advocating and participating in the policy development of full practice autonomy for Nurse Practitioners. Nationally, there is a dire need for primary health care clinicians which specifically affects the underserved.

My knowledge in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) continues to expand as I progress through the DNP program. The knowledge I have attained while in the study of the DNP I and DNP II is priceless. For example, recognizing stakeholders and utilizing networking has helped me to progress on my DNP project (Gokenbach, 2012). I also have a better understanding as well as the purpose of a DNP project. My mentors have been great in directing me in remaining on the right track.

A career as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner is a natural extension of my personal, educational, and research experiences. Although my path to nursing has not been a straight line, every experience that put me on this path has shaped my passion and dedication to psychiatric nursing. After losing loved ones to suicide at a young age, I made a promise to myself and to them that I would dedicate my life to helping individuals struggling with mental illness. This promise led me to study Psychology at UC Berkeley, where I fell in love with clinical research investigating the efficacy of treatments for mental illness.

Through this program I hope to learn the fundamentals of community based research, how to advocate for health policy, a most importantly how to educate communities on health. I believe that is the most rewarding thing I can get out of this program. Having the ability, the power, to change someone’s life, by just giving him or her basic health care knowledge is so empowering. Knowing that I changed that life, that because of me hopefully their health will better instead of worsen. Through this program I hope to learn from the community, to learn their experiences, which will allow me to be even more conscious of the disparities they are forced to face, hence causing me to ponder “how can this issue be fixed?”, “what policy can be implemented”?.

Nurses are every day heroes who not only dedicate their compassion to care for the vulnerable and ill but nurses must attain the proper training and education to provide quality health care. Ever since I was a little girl my dream was to make a positive difference. I am fortunate that I’ve had the opportunity to share my love and compassion with the elderly, rehabilitation patients, chemical dependency patients and individuals with diverse disabilities through my role as a Certified Nursing Assistant since 2006. Nursing is my calling.

I trust there would be fewer incidences, admissions, health care issues and costs. I would also see improvement of my patient, family member and staff satisfaction. In addition, my communication, leadership and relationship-building skills would be enhanced by having

A Passionate Pursuit: Transforming Lives as a Nurse Growing up in the humble nation of Nepal, I witnessed firsthand the disparities in healthcare and the profound impact it had on the lives of individuals. I was inspired from a young age to become more than "just" a nurse. My personal journey fueled a burning passion within me to ensure that every person receives equal and compassionate treatment, leaving no room for the injustices of the past. As a refugee, I faced numerous challenges upon arriving in the United States at the age of 9, including the struggle to learn English and adapt to a new community. However, each hurdle I encountered served as a testament to my resilience and determination.

I have not yet thought about what exactly I can do to promote such reform, but I do know that with my passion for igniting change in combination with my nursing skills, I will be able to give the world transformative benefits. My aspirations are kept in order by encouraging words from Shonda Rhimes, where she inspires me to ‘’Change the world and when you’ve done that, change it

Imagine walking in to your work place, you have been assign a unit to work in, depending on the staff availability there might be 2 to 3 people to a unit. Each person is assign a nurse to work with and when one tech goes on break the other have to cover that section as well. The nigh is starting fine but all of the sudden you find yourself in both section being pulled left and right working.

With the line of job that you are in when you are ask to do something you cannot say no because you are dealing with patient who are in need of medical assistance.

I am currently employed as a registered nurse in mental health on a full time permanent contract. I have 10 years post registration experience as a registered nurse during which time I have acquired a great wealth of knowledge and clinical experience in different areas of nursing. I have worked in Mental Health for 3 years with much experience in Older adult and some in adult mental health units. Prior to this I worked for 6 years in an aged care facility in Port Kennedy. I dealt with clients with Dementia, behaviour problems and generally geriatric patients.

This aligns with my future goals of becoming a leader in healthcare and working to improve access to care for underserved

I’ve always wanted to become a Nurse because I believe I was meant to be a healer. All throughout my life I’ve been exposed to a wide variety of diagnosis in my family. The ones that had a direct effect on me was drug addiction and mental health disorders. Seeing my loved ones deteriorate right in front of me pushed me into the Nursing career. I want to promote prominent health changes in my community.

The study of psychology is crucial for my area of interest because it enables medical professionals to connect with patients right away and gain crucial understanding of their perspectives. Patients who are worried about their physical well-being talk to nurses frequently. The nature of nursing work requires many nurses to be adept at juggling patients' emotional and physical needs. Psychology is a crucial part of routine procedures because of the close relationships that form in these kinds of medical settings. Nursing requires psychology because nurses are becoming more conscious of the significance of patients' physical and mental well-being.
