BSN-to-DNP Degree Family Nurse Practitioner FNP

Family Nurse Practitioner celebrates BSN-to-DNP achievement, symbolized by her graduation cap and stethoscope, set against a backdrop of progress and care.

My response to entering middle age has been to advance in my career. I look forward to contributing to the lovely diversity of your program at __U as a woman born and raised in Iran who will always be Persian. Nevertheless, I have been here so long that I am already part Oklahoman. I became an RN in 2001, practicing primarily in intensive care and surgery units. I now hold dual bachelor’s degrees in Biochemistry and Nursing and hope to be selected for your distinguished BSN-to-DNP Program. I want to devote the rest of my professional life to serving as a Family Nurse Practitioner and hope to be accepted to your distinguished program at XXU, the flagship academic department in Oklahoma in my field. My best chance to go as far as I can as an FNP.

I see advocating for the patient as the number one goal of nursing. I do this day in and day out as a Surgery Nurse at ____ Hospital. I ask for acceptance to your distinguished program because I want to become the best patient advocate possible, not just for the patient but for the family. My firm belief in the importance of families pulling together to deal with health crises has led me to focus on the FNP track and devote my life to the cause of nurses helping families, not just patients. My extensive work experience as an RN for over ten years has given me a solid foundation to enable me to hit the ground running and excel in the BSN to DNP Program.

I pretended to be a nurse in my playtime when I was a little girl. I have always had a keen interest in nursing and medicine. I received my first bachelor's in Biochemistry from __U in 1999 and then decided to pursue a career in nursing because I wanted to be instrumental in helping patients get healthy.

I am now at the optimal point in my life to begin graduate study toward the ultimate degree in my field, the Doctor of Nursing Practice-FNP at ____ University. __U is my first choice for graduate school, not only because I live in this beautiful state, not far away, but because of the unique quality and structure of your FNP track. Since my long-term goal is the DNP, being able to complete all my additional training at the same university is a unique, added plus of your program.

A compassionate Family Nurse Practitioner engages with a patient, exemplifying the skills and dedication gained through a BSN-to-DNP program.

I hope to graduate from your program with the absolute integrity, knowledge, and compassion necessary for making the most positive impact possible on meeting the healthcare needs of diverse communities, particularly those with the fewest resources. Completing your DNP program would enable me to better advocate for my patient population based on Evidence-Based Practices, giving back to my local community throughout my lifetime. In addition to my professional positions, I look forward to decades of volunteer service for those without the means to pay for healthcare.

I thank you for considering my application to your distinguished program.
