The Navy has been integral to my life since I was born in a Naval Hospital. Growing up on naval bases, I took pride in my father's service to our country and the strong sense of community fostered by the military lifestyle. He dedicated his entire career to the Navy, and we received excellent medical care from nurses and doctors. My earliest impressions of nurses were those who cared for me as a child. Their unwavering compassion and skilled care inspired my desire to serve our nation and its veterans as a nurse.
During my BSN studies, I envisioned one day working in a Veterans Hospital, a role that would be both a career and an honor, providing healthcare to our Veterans. Nursing was a natural career choice for me and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and ability to return to school, supported by scholarships. Completing my BSN with Honors and achieving a near-perfect GPA, I was inducted into the Sigma Theta National Honor Society for Nurses this past May, a source of great pride for me, my family, and those who supported me.
____’s Nurse Residency program is not just a logical step for my career; it represents the ideal, offering an education with a broad and autonomous curriculum and providing exposure matched by few nursing residency programs.
I bring to the residency program a decade of professional experience, having worked in roles with increasing responsibility and supervising more people. During this time, I honed my professional interpersonal, time management, project management, and IT skills. I understand that nurses hold the trust of the community and serve as role models for aspiring medical professionals. To this end, I actively volunteer for the Red Cross, driven by my desire to provide compassionate care to the poor, sick, and needy at all costs.
I am committed to following my heart, delivering exceptional healthcare to America's veterans and others in need.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
