Post-MSN FNP Certificate Personal Statement

Aspiring nurse practitioners collaborate over a case study, reflecting their dedication to advancing healthcare skills through a Post-MSN Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate.

I am motivated to progress in my nursing career, which is why I am applying to your Post MSN-FNP Certificate program to achieve my long-term aspiration of becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I possess a BS in Nursing and Health Education and a master's degree in nursing. I have completed and maintained certifications in BLS, ACLS, PALS, NALS, ENCP, and TNCC. My strongest qualities are my pursuit of excellence and compassion, particularly my dedication to my patients.

For the past 12 years, I have worked as an ER Nurse in Las Vegas hospitals. Our main focuses include cardiac, respiratory, neurological, and gastrointestinal care, with specialized heart, stroke, and diabetes accreditations. My colleagues often depend on me and consistently praise my efforts to exceed expectations in inpatient care.

My supervisors frequently commend my sound judgment in assessing, planning, implementing, evaluating, and documenting patient care. I have substantial experience as a critical care nurse and have developed strong skills in analyzing and coordinating efficient emergency room activities. My core competencies include, but are not limited to, triage, rhythm interpretation, physical assessments, treatment planning, evaluations, medication administration, intravenous therapy, documentation, and staff/student supervision.  I have received high performance and service excellence awards from my superiors, co-workers, patients, students, and family members for my calm and reassuring presence during patient care.

I also work part-time as a Nursing Instructor at the College of ____. I have experienced a tremendous sense of success and accomplishment when seeing new nurses “come into their own” and integrate into the team. Furthermore, with the current trend of many nurses leaving the field, it is crucial to recruit and instruct future nurses in a positive and welcoming manner.

My problem-solving skills are demonstrated by my experience teaching on a surgical floor, where I discovered that the nurses on the unit were not adhering to a "one needle, one patient" policy for insulin pens. (My nursing students and I were considered "guests" in their facility.) Nonetheless, I brought this issue to the attention of my superiors, which revealed a system-wide error, leading the hospital to implement a new teaching plan in this area.
