Why I Deserve a Nursing Scholarship
In my past years I never would have imagined I would be taking nursing as my future path. I thought I would become a teacher just like my mother. As I grew up, I became lost and confused as to what I would want to be in the future. There comes a point in a person’s life where you have to ask yourself, ‘What do you want to do in the future? ‘. I asked myself the same question and did a lot of thinking. My answer was i wanted to help people. I enjoy helping others. I think being a nurse is a noble thing to do so I have decided to pursue it. After learning a little more about what being a nurse means, I have grown to love the idea of being a nurse and developed a passion for it. I believe I deserve this scholarship because I have the potential to be a great nurse. I am caring, empathetic, patient and a team player. By taking the nursing course, I will be able to help people and utilize my care-taking skills to its best.
Ever since I was seven years old, I transferred schools a lot because of my mother’s work. I went to two different primary schools and three different secondary schools. As a result I learned to adapt quickly to my surroundings so I can easily fit in at different conditions. Moving a lot also helped me to develop myself as I am a bit of a shy person. It made me more courageous to make new friends and to meet people. I can adjust myself well to different personalities. I also like to observe people. How people think and how they behave is very interesting to me. This way I can learn more about people by their behavior. Being able to communicate in English was never a problem for me. My family uses English more than Malay when we communicate. I have confidence in my ability to speak English. I got an A+ for my SPM English test as well. During Secondary school years I have joined a choral speaking competition and an English drama competition. This helped me a lot with my confidence. I can also communicate in Chinese as I attended Chinese primary

I’ve witnessed firsthand the miracles that nurses can work and I know that every nurse is somebody’s hero.

My grandfather was the one who really got me interested in Japan. He would always tell me stories about the culture, people, the little bits of language that he picked up, and the time that he spent there.

I want to go to Japan not only to see what he saw, but also to improve the little that I know and improve myself.…

    Nursing Application Essay

    “To me the distinguishing characteristic of professional nursing is clinical thinking, every patient, whether well, getting sick, being sick or getting well has the right to a nurse who by virtue of this clinical thinking, manages the nursing care and is accountable for that care.” It would be a blessing to be a student of a prestigious program that was founded by the honorable late Ms. Dorothy M. Smith. Her aspiration and dedication to the program to feed and educate hungry minds is phenomenal. Being a former biology major, I was never enthusiastic as I am being a nursing major. Nurses are the glue that holds hospitals, clinics and nursing homes together. Desiring a Bachelor of Sciences in nursing, I plan to hold a position as a RN. Furthermore, I will continue my education to gain a doctorate in nursing. Attending University of Florida’s nursing program to achieve my career goals is a dream of an aspiring nurse. With the University of Florida’s academic standing, student involvement, comfortable environment and cheerful staff, being a part of the program is a beneficial plus. Entering college, my goal was to graduate with a Bachelor in biology and then attend medical school, to pursue a career as a pediatrician. However, a few complications arouse and that goal was short-lived. I am always told; never give up, on yourself and your dreams. Itching for the need to stay in the medical field, I decided on nursing. Deciding to get both my bachelors and masters rather than only my bachelor was the best decision I made. I decided on becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practioner. My career goal will not be achieved easily. It is a guaranteed package of gray hair, sweat, stress, gallons of Starbucks and dreams of my bed. I can be certain that I will be pushed to my limit to become the best nurse I am capable of being so that I am able to care for my patients the best way that I can. Previously having attended University of Florida, there was not a day I regretted saying yes to…

    During high school my older cousin, who is a nurse and the most influential person in my life helped me affirm my decision to pursue nursing. Over the years, I watched her excel in her career and heard her express how much she truly enjoys her job.

Each day we talk, she would describe what her patient did that day and how today was better than yesterday. Her many stories from the hospital inspired and convinced me that nursing is truly a very rewarding career.
