As a Nurse Assistant at the XXXX Free Clinic, I write to support my application to your distinguished BSN Program at the University of XXXX because I have adopted nursing as my vehicle of expression and contribution to my community. Serving as a nurse is the center of my contribution to global struggles and crusades. I am a Russian man who has traveled and engaged in my principal passion, humanitarian activities. My social interests, commitments, and causes have propelled me to develop an increasingly better understanding of virology and epidemiology, particularly concerning HIV.
My core values are integrity, compassionate care, respect for humanity, diversity, and equality. I am approaching fluency in Spanish and have traveled all over Central and South America in preparation for outreach and solidarity in this area of the world.
In addition to your stellar reputation, UXX is my first choice among BSN programs because of its location, close to where I currently live, work, and volunteer my time at the XXXX Free Clinic. I also deeply admire the record of accomplishment of your faculty concerning HIV and epidemiology, especially Dr. XXXX. It is also at the epicenter of the populations that I seek to study and serve, the LGBT community, particularly recent immigrants, and the underserved in general. A student of nursing who emigrated from Russia, I have traveled much of the world, volunteering my time and energy in numerous countries working with humanitarian projects. This is where I have found my most incredible sense of fulfillment. I advocate and serve as a leader for various underserved populations, including Russian immigrants. I volunteered to live and work on a sustainable farm in Northern Thailand for several months and at an orphanage in Northern Vietnam for another few months. I have shadowed and assisted doctors and nurses in numerous hospitals in Russia, Laos, Venezuela, and Colombia.
As a native speaker of Russian, I am incredibly proud to continue to make rapid progress in improving my intermediate-level Spanish, and I hope to consider myself fluent in this language within a few years. This is particularly important because this language tends to be spoken in America by the medically underserved. For some time now, I have been cultivating a unique awareness and professional network of support for the underserved or marginalized members of the LGBT community in California and San Francisco in particular, especially Latinos. I look forward to participating in medical missions, especially in HIV prevention. I have always wanted to live and work in Africa, one of the few continents that I have not yet had the opportunity to visit. Doctors Without Borders have long been my principal hero, and I seek to honor their tradition and mission.
Study in Nursing has been at the center of my professional activity for years now, working as a nurse assistant and doing independent research on my own. I have become well-read in current nursing trends, leaders, emergent specialties, and job-market competitiveness. I see your BSN program at UXXX as a perfect fit for my aspirations, providing healthcare services to underserved members of the LGBT community, especially in HIV prevention with a research component. I feel incredibly prepared to undertake professional study in this area due to my recent experience with the XXXX Free Clinic, serving our community as a nurse assistant. I look forward to making significant contributions to our community and promoting the health and health care of many of our community's most vulnerable members. I thank you for considering my application to your exceptional program.
