Immigrating to Hawaii 9 years ago from the Philippines, I was always surrounded by my aunts, nurses, both in Hawaii and back in the Philippines, making my inclination towards nursing always present. Hence, my greatest inspiration and motivation to become a nurse comes from my aunts, whom I consider my role models. Read More

I had a perfect time in nursing school, but nothing else excited me as much as my course in women’s health. This is why I have my sights set on becoming a distinguished WHNP, and I hope to perform all of my clinical work in this area. I have complete confidence in the distinguished faculty of the University of XXXX to guide me in designing a study plan to make me a highly effective WHNP. My labor and delivery rotation was the high point of my life, coaching my patient and working with her on her breathing. Words cannot describe how I felt when her first baby appeared. The exhilaration was total, and I was hooked on women’s health. I want to give my life to this area of nursing, and I feel strongly that the sheer joy I find in this area is my greatest asset, my motivation. Read More

A full-time nurse since 2006 and deeply engaged in the day-to-day activity of the nursing staff of our ICU since 2007, I am very excited about and anxious to become a part of how Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) are coming to play increasingly significant roles in the U.S. health care system across the nation, especially in my State of California. Serving as a Nursing Instructor and Simulation Coordinator since 2011 at XXXX University in Los Angeles, CA, has provided me with enormous opportunities to learn about nursing education and administration.

I have reached a point where I am ready to dedicate my life to the nursing field. I have always been good in the sciences, continually fascinated by the human body and its inner workings, and have spent countless hours in independent study, over and above what my classmates in biology typically invested. Nursing has been a natural choice for me, a path that began when I started volunteering for Hospice. And now, my approach has led me to the exciting prospect of joining the Bachelor's Degree Program at XXXX Nursing. Read More

Born and raised in Manila, the Philippines, I am a young man and a nurse who is three-quarters Filipino and one-quarter Chinese. One of four siblings, I grew up in a tiny, humble home in one of the most impoverished slums in Manila, far from the city lights. We were happy even though 15 people shared our house throughout my childhood. Despite losing my mother to America, I was blissfully unaware of any disadvantage of my social class. One day when I was six, I woke up to find my mother and all her things gone. She could not bear to say goodbye to me because she knew it would be long before she would see me again. A decade would pass before we would be reunited in Pasadena, California. Read More

As a man, I am proud to be a nurse. And as a Filipino, I am especially pleased to contribute to the beautiful diversity that characterizes the face of health care in America. I have been working as a Registered Nurse for almost five years since I immigrated to America from the Philippines following my graduation from nursing school. I am currently employed at XXXX Hospital in XXXX, Connecticut, and I find my work enormously fulfilling. My first nursing experience was in telemetry, then intermediate care from 2006 to 2008; for the last two years, I have served in the Intensive Care Unit in preparation for entering a Master’s Program in Nurse Anesthesia.
