BSN Personal Statement Example, Chinese

Two nurses in scrubs engage in a discussion, exemplifying teamwork, and communication in a medical setting.

Seven years ago, at the age of 15, I moved from China to America. Since then, my journey into adulthood has been shaped by becoming a Chinese American and a mother. Now, I am eager to pursue a career in nursing.

My inspiration to become a nurse came from the nurses who cared for my daughter and me in the hospital. They answered my questions, listened to my concerns, taught me how to care for my baby, and comforted me when I was upset. They were like angels and became powerful role models for me. My dream job would be to volunteer with a non-profit organization like the Red Cross, using my nursing skills to assist those most in need who cannot afford care. In the short term, my professional goal is to be accepted into your undergraduate nursing program. My long-term ambition is to become a nurse practitioner. I also hope to engage in extensive volunteer work in the Developing World someday.

I have always been a caring person and love helping others, which gives me great potential to become an excellent nurse. Although I am only twenty-two and have much to learn, my communication skills have improved to the point where I am an effective communicator in the workplace. I am no longer hesitant to speak English. I believe that being a native Chinese speaker will be advantageous in the future as a Nurse Practitioner serving urban areas with a significant Chinese-speaking population. In Salem, Oregon, where I live, with a population of only 150,000, I did not encounter any Chinese-speaking healthcare workers during my hospital stay. However, even in a smaller city like this, I think a Chinese-speaking nurse could be an asset. Chinese immigrants are spreading across America, and I plan to continue studying and staying updated with medical terms in Mandarin Chinese.

By succeeding in your program, I can become a registered nurse, and I hope to further my studies to become a nurse practitioner. My dreams focus on children. I have two children and sponsor a child in South Africa through World Vision. She has inspired me to learn about the challenges of providing healthcare in Africa. I genuinely hope that after becoming a nurse practitioner, I can join an organization as a volunteer and travel to the Developing World for extended periods to help provide essential healthcare, especially vaccinations and wellness checks. I would also love to work in preventive medicine education.

I volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club and work as a server in a restaurant, which has made me comfortable interacting with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. I have developed excellent customer service skills that will benefit me in nursing. Serving elementary students and demanding customers has taught me patience and how to remain friendly with others. I love cities and have visited many, including Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and Vancouver. My travels have shown me the superficiality of our differences and helped me appreciate the diversity in Asia and North America. This will aid me in becoming an empathetic and understanding nursing professional.

I look forward to starting your program and thank you for considering my application.
