Nursing Practitioner Statement of Purpose
The ongoing worldwide outbreak of the Covid-19 virus pandemic has served to redefine my understanding of nursing responsibilities in society. Most importantly, the outbreak has enabled me to acknowledge the potential of nurses as caregivers and promoters of health at the individual, family, local community, and global levels. These insights have not only motivated me but also invoked in me an urge to secure a position through which I can offer more intensive services at a broader scale. I believe that pursuing a Master’s Degree and upscaling my career to a Nursing Practitioner (NP) will prepare me adequately in my quest to maximize my contributions, not just at the bedside, but also in the community and national health programs. Expectedly, the NP position will provide me with many opportunities for diagnosing and managing both common and chronic illnesses, interpreting diagnostic tests, and participating more proactively in evidence-based research. Here, I perceive my role as that of a highly skilled NP dedicated to enhancing the access and quality of health care services for all.
I attribute most of my current relatively outstanding track record in the fields of healthcare and community services to the cumulative knowledge gathered from my past experiences. I have to say that healthcare scientific research has been an inherent part of me since my early days in high school. During this period, I participated in many scientific fests, including the International Science and Engineering Fair, where I won awards in forensic toxicology, among other areas of study. The activities therein facilitated my exposure to first-hand applications of different scientific concepts and evidence-based innovations. My diligence, in this regard, landed me an enrolment in xxx Nursing School, where I earned a BSN Degree. While there, I was able to engage in healthcare activities at a relatively elevated level, especially during my field placements and other practical engagements. These activities enabled me to gain crucial insights into many aspects related to nursing practice. Most important, however, my work experiences at the xxx institution and my ongoing COVID-19-related care-giving engagements have elevated my nursing knowledge to a markedly high level. Mainly, I have come to appreciate the role of health caregivers as frontline ‘defenders’ of humanity in the wake of a pandemic.
While my academic journey so far has been markedly successful, I intend to work even harder. Besides my past experiences, my academic performances reflect the seriousness with which I manage my career. I have achieved scores above 3.0 in all my exams. Regardless, I believe that I have the potential to perform much better and boost my academic inventory. I am particularly thrilled by the prospect of venturing back into the academic realm, and I am prepared for the long and distinguished journey of enlightenment and groundbreaking scientific research. With this re-immersion experience in healthcare education, I aim to ready myself to make my informed contributions to the formulation and implementation of improved healthcare policies and practices.
Given my current engagements, I am confident that effective planning and time management can enable me to apply the concept of online learning to my benefit. Since I work for only xxx hours per day, I have made the necessary arrangements to dedicate the more substantial portion of my free time in the evening to study. Following some extensive background research, I have concluded that the highly competitive online MSN programs offered at xxx institution are the most suitable for fulfilling my current career ambitions. I am prepared for the rigors of online learning at the university and have acquired the full support of my current employer and family.
Thank you for your consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
