Sample Personal Statement 1st Paragraph DNP Nurse Anesthesia, ICU, Trauma Center
I like to think that the strongest part of my application to your distinguished DNP Program in Nurse Anesthesia at the University of XXXX is my sheer devotion and enthusiasm for the critical care nursing. I have now spent one year in ICU at a Level 1 Trauma Center and I have found my calling, home, and center of gravity. Having obtained all of the required certifications for critical care, I set about excelling in PA and Swan Ganz catheters, CardioQ, rapid infusion, RSI and conscious sedation using BIS and train of four, drip titrations, bolts, line insertion procedures, bedside OR, and post resuscitation hypothermia. Perhaps the most salient aspect of the joy that I find in my work surrounds my engagement with multiple research projects to assist and implement evidenced based practice at the bedside.
Sample Personal Statement 1st Paragraph, Doctoral Degree, Global Missionary, Nursing Administration
Following a successful 30-year career in nursing, I decided to take time out in order to give my life fully to God. Since 2012, I have been a member of the Order of St. Benedict. Now that I am a fully integrated member of the order – after living for a long time as a hermit in primitive conditions and going on a lengthy mission to Africa to minister to the most poor in a very violent, war torn part of that beleaguered continent, the order has decided that my mission should be to return to full-time nursing. I hope to be accepted to your distinguished DNP Program at XXXX University and earn the DNP Degree so as to be as highly qualified as possible for making my maximum contribution to the management and oversight of the global mission of the Church in the area of nursing.
Sample 1st Paragraph Personal Statement DNP, Why XXXX University in particular?
I have lived in much of the USA since I was raised by foster parents and grew up moving from one home to another; currently living and working in Oregon. The University of XXXX is my first choice among DNP Programs for a variety of reasons. I love trees, which provide me with energy and serenity, and earning my doctorate on a beautiful, peaceful, spacious, and wooded location such as the campus of the University of XXXX appeals to me enormously. Your DNP is nationally recognized as a research program and I aspire to make research the center of my world as a doctoral student. Finally, I do not like borrowing money and your program is one of the most affordable in the country, especially since you do not charge out of state fees. Thus, at the University of XXXX, I can pay my way through school to the DNP and not have the added strain of facing debts down the road.
