MN Clinical Nursing Saudi Personal Statement

A group of Saudi clinical nursing professionals, dressed in traditional attire and medical gear, pose confidently in a healthcare setting, embodying the dedication and expertise within the field of nursing.

I am a dedicated and motivated nurse in Saudi Arabia, eager to study abroad to advance in my field. I am highly impressed with your MN Program in Advanced Clinical Nursing. I believe it is the ideal program to help me make the most significant contribution to nursing in the KSA. I am excited about the comprehensive studies in your curriculum on health, well-being, illness, and healing, and about learning to approach health promotion and illness prevention from a multidisciplinary perspective. By examining the complex nursing challenges in Canada’s multicultural population and healthcare system, I am confident that I will learn how to effectively contribute positively to the careers of my Saudi Nursing students.

I completed my BSN at King Abdulaziz University in August 2003 and underwent a one-year internship, gaining valuable insights into the many challenges nurses face. From February to April 2005, I participated in a rigorous, 10-week internal scholarship program in critical care nursing at King Faisal Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh in the Medical/Surgical ICU. Following that, I began working at King Abdulaziz Medical City Adult Intensive Care Unit, where I continue to serve. I am particularly eager to conduct research in critical care and trauma nursing. I have devoted considerable time to independent study in these areas and am seeking greater responsibility at my hospital.

Similar to Western society, Saudi society is also experiencing an aging population. Our capacity to provide adequate nursing care to our elderly population is being overwhelmed by the growing number of older adults in Saudi Arabia who require services. Therefore, I aim to develop a lasting interest in all aspects of nursing care for the elderly to make significant contributions to elderly care for patients in the KSA throughout my professional career.

Saudi Arabia requires more nursing professionals who are fully equipped to serve as case managers—organizing and coordinating services and resources while managing costs. I anticipate decades of professional growth as a Certified Nursing Specialist, managing patient care and helping navigate Saudi hospital systems through the complex challenges they will continue to encounter. I look forward to providing leadership to other nurses and impacting our healthcare systems. Among the issues I wish to explore is how healthcare in Saudi Arabia is rapidly developing, resulting in multiple governmental and independent service providers. I also want to study how our economic growth has influenced our health needs and led to changes in health behavior. Additionally, I want to critically examine the impact of many migrant nurses in the KSA on the quality of our healthcare systems. Both my nursing education and workplace are primarily English-speaking environments. Speaking English as a professional helps me view myself as a global citizen, and I am eagerly anticipating many multicultural experiences in Canada. I aspire to become a role model for other Saudi nurses and an exceptionally skilled mentor to new generations of nursing students in my home country.
