¶ … real encounter with nursing. The encounter occurred when I first accompanied my mother to the hospital to get her treatment. That day, I felt an urgent need to become a nurse. This is because I saw that most of the nurses and other health professionals in the hospital were always pressed for time and patients, including my mother, had to wait for long periods of time before getting attended to. That experience revealed to me a gap that I was confident I could help fill in however little way I could. Realizing that the only way I could get to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse was through education, I started putting a lot of effort in school and my academic performance is proof of that. However, being brought up by a single mother compounded what was already a difficult situation. My mother had to go through a lot of financial struggles to put me through school. Now that I am older, I have come face to face with many financial pressures myself. This has made me appreciate and respect what she did for me. This scholarship would help me to get closer to my dream of becoming a nurse by easing the financial burden associated with pursuing a degree in nursing.
I am applying for this scholarship because I have a financial burden. By getting the scholarship, I would be able to pursue my dream career in nursing. I am ready and willing to pursue a course in nursing as my academics, paid and volunteer work show. My performance in sciences is particularly outstanding. The good grades on

The volunteer experience helped me gain critical thinking and problem solving skills that would definitely come in handy later on in my nursing career. I have also worked as an assistant teacher. My interactions with students has helped me to improve my communication skills and to become more relatable, attributes that I know for sure would make a better nurse. I was at first assisting others on a small scale via voluntary work, but with the knowledge and skills that I will acquire from the Nursing program, I strongly believe that my ability to assist others will be increased once I am a CNS.
I have worked in Dr. Colgan's Residential Home as an 'Elderly Caregiver'. Here, I improved the client's life quality and also offered conversation and companionship through contributing to a positive living environment. I provided help and stabilization with everyday activities and also took it upon myself to prepare meals and clean up the dishes. Additionally, I provided appointment and medication reminders and helped with toileting, bathing, grooming and incontinence matters. On top of these, I carried out other duties assigned to me and reported any considerable variations in a client's living conditions or needs. I also worked as a volunteer nurse…

Communication Skills Attendant upon my transition into the role of Mental Health Staff Nurse, I have devised the following reflective model-to-action plan for the formulation of workable communication skills. Realizing that "…all healthcare professionals require a reasonable level of numeracy for the safe administration of medicines and fluids, budgeting, and the interpretation of statistics," (http://learntech.uwe.ac.uk/numeracy 2011), I determined to include practical strategems for assessing ratios and SI units. Realizing also that contemporary
Role Change1. How do you think the role change from RN to NP will challenge your knowledge, skills, and collaboration?The role change from RN to NP will challenge my knowledge, skills, and collaboration in several ways. One thing I will need to do is become more knowledgeable about the various health conditions and disease processes that are common in my practice specialty in order to accurately diagnose and treat patients.
Nursing informatics has been defined as, "a specialty that integrates nursing science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, knowledge, and wisdom in nursing practice" (Shuler, 2011). The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management that describes the stages involved in the information system development, from a feasibility study to the maintenance of the completed system (Rouse, 2009). With these
My attitude has changed resulting from the information I learned about business communications quite dramatically. Business communication in my opinion was always something that was important to people working as managers or administrators, but I never fully understood how critical business communication is to all people regardless of the field they work in. The components of business communication most important to my field include learning how to translate one's
Nursing The greatest challenges facing nursing leadership and the profession as a whole include, but are not limited to, "highly political environments, budget reductions, changing reimbursement patterns, staffing shortages, and rapidly evolving technological advances," (Schmidt, 2006, p. 34). In addition to these environmental and organizational challenges, nurses and nurse leaders contend with issues related to communications, public relations, and personal psychological barriers to greatness.
