I could not be happier with my career direction, spending the last 1.5 years never taking my eyes off the at-risk infants in our care and the technology monitoring their progress. With each day, I have learned many things of great value while serving as a nurse in the Neonatal ICU of our hospital. I now feel it is time for me to go to graduate school in Nursing in preparation for making my maximum contribution to my career and community. I am a fully bilingual Latino who also appreciates the large numbers of Latinos in your university, with several active Hispanic and Latinx communities and affinity groups. Read More

Massachusetts is my second home after my native Haiti, and the University of XXXX is my first choice for graduate school for various reasons, especially the location and the sheer excellence of your program. Born and raised in my native Haiti until 17, coming to America, learning English, and two years in Miami and Boston, my adult life has been a fantastic uphill climb. 45 years old, I have 18 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, and I feel strongly that now is the best time for me to advance my career and exercise my increasing capacity for leadership.

I live in Louisiana; when hurricane Katrina struck, I did what I could to help throughout the long ordeal, feeling incredibly grateful that I was a nurse. Seeing so many people needing medical attention inspired me to spend a lot of time reading about disaster relief efforts in America and abroad. I hope to participate in these efforts after earning the MSN Degree at XXXX University, my first choice for Nursing School because of its sheer excellence. Read More

For me, the field of nursing represents a vehicle of service to those who need it most, especially my people, humble, primarily undocumented immigrant families from Latin America living in poverty. The unique part of nursing is the opportunity to provide service of the most profound and valuable nature to the underserved. My father came from Mexico as a young man and worked hard to gain legal status and raise his family. My father will be very proud to see his daughter earn her Master’s in Nursing. I grew up among the poor with the constant stress of making ends meet in a society where we did not have legal standing, especially when I was still small. I feel I have a lot to give back to people like my family as a nursing professional, especially to America’s massive population of undocumented immigrants. 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 plan to become an FNP and a travel nurse in the United States and abroad. I took a trip to my parent’s homeland of Guyana, the poorest country in South America, where I witnessed the acute shortage of healthcare providers, resources, medicine, etc. This visit to our land of origin filled me with a sense of nursing mission, to give as much time as possible, progressively throughout my career, to the advancement of nursing care and access to health care in the Developing World, especially the land of my heritage: Guyana. This is where I could make my greatest contribution as a result of a culture and language that is my own. Read More

For fifteen years, I have maintained a commitment to caring for others and the nursing field. As an RN, I have taken care of patients from the day they are born until the day they die and have supported a family of a young child with their first asthma attack and the family of a grandparent taking their last breath. From conducting sports physicals to helping set a fractured bone or diagnosing heart disease, one patient at a time, I have been involved in saving lives and have only been left wanting to give and do more. Pursuing an MSN is more than just a logical or natural progression for my career. It is a life choice, one that is backed by highly refined clinical acumen and in-depth exposure to an array of set-ups and levels of care. Read More

I want to become a nurse and build my career in nursing; my undergraduate degree is in Public Health, a closely related field that has inspired me to a career in nursing. My current internship as a Nurse’s Assistant has also motivated me to excel as a nurse and feel confident that nursing is my professional destiny. I appreciate XXXX’s focus on cultivating and enjoying a culturally diverse world. I look forward to contributing to the diversity of your program as an Armenian-American woman and a native speaker of Russian as well as Armenian. Read More

A very hard-working licensed RN, I first found myself attracted to XXXX University’s MSN Program due to your high passing rates for the RN licensing exam. As I began to investigate further, I became most impressed with the research of your extraordinary faculty and their dedication to spending adequate time with students to provide them with a helping hand. I like that XXXX University is home to more than 130 clubs and organizations, and I feel strongly that my temperament is a good fit for the field. My character is calm and easy-going; my approach is amiable, my personality is professional, and my greatest strengths are sincerity and humor. My most incredible pride is parenting, and my ultimate fun is learning new knowledge and skills. I aspire to be a devoted husband and father with a well-rounded lifestyle. Most of all, I want to be a modest yet well-respected nurse. I am a good fit with XXXX, a program committed to providing its patients with cutting-edge care with an ethos of excellence. Read More

The University of XXXX is my first choice for earning my Masters's Degree in Nursing because of its sheer excellence, reflected in its high ranking and the variety of specializations you offer as part of your broad-based curriculum. I also have several close friends who graduated from your program and only had good things to say about the experience. Read More

My main goal in life is to make a positive difference in people’s lives by applying my significant nursing experience and to do so while having a satisfying and rewarding career that will provide both variety and autonomy. I am convinced that the FNP role will meet my requirements and maximize my ability to make a positive difference in people's lives. I have frequently observed FNPs at work and have carefully researched their role. My background is in critical care and home care. In my career, I have been required to demonstrate many of the skills and traits called for in the FNP role: independence, self-reliance, an analytical approach, empathy with patients of all types and ages, and an ability to work calmly under pressure. I have also undertaken an occasional leadership role while supervising nurses’ aides or mentoring junior staff; I have done so successfully and have enjoyed these experiences. I understand that not every nurse can accept the responsibility that comes with the autonomy and independence of the FNP role. Still, I feel that I have demonstrated the potential to do so.

Your distinguished MSN Program at XXXX University is my first choice for graduate study to become a nurse practitioner because I want to attend a school with a solid spiritual foundation and ethos. My dedication to nursing as a spiritual activity, healing, and expression of love for one’s community and fellow man was reinforced by the recent loss of my mother to pancreatic cancer and how our pastor helped us. I now appreciate to a fuller degree how nursing care can benefit from spirituality and how my spirituality makes me a more caring and attentive nurse, especially in my area, hospice. Read More

We are pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps as a family. A young African-American woman, I am the oldest of 4 children born to a single mother. I focus much more on the merits of learning responsibility while still young, growing up as an assistant mother and a child than I do on any lost innocence. Born and raised in Cincinnati, I earned my BSN in 2004 from XXXX University. More recently, to fully prepare for your program, I went back to school and completed several graduate-level courses in my field. I now feel strongly that I am at my optimal level of maturity and have an enormous drive to excel as a full-time graduate student bound for the MSN degree at XXXX. Read More
