PERSONAL STATEMENT FOR A NURSING COURSE
According to me, nursing is not just a career path; it is all about passion, doing what one’s heart
and mind are deeply rooted in. I once watched someone being neglected by the nurses while I
had visited my then sick brother in the hospital and that is when the drive into the nursing career
came about. Being there for people when they need me the most and caring about them has
driven me into this field. This is the reason why I took my time to discuss it with my family and
all of them were of the opinion that I should venture into this field. These two reasons have been
my motivational factors in deciding to take a nursing course at the university. Nursing is a
profession under the health care system in general which is concerned with the care for
individuals, families and the community at large so that they may recover from illness and attain
optimal health. My main career aspiration for taking this course is that I would just like to serve
the sick people so that they can feel there is someone who is concerned about their wellbeing and
would do anything to ensure their lives are free from illness as per the words of Val
Saintsbury,”Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription.”
Currently, my areas of study include Biology, Psychology, and Sociology, Roles of a
nurse and Health Inequalities. The units I liked the most while studying these programs include
Biochemistry, Genetics, Neuroscience, Social change, and social issues among others. I
happened to like the units because they are related closely to this field I have chosen. They are
core to anyone who has set his future in Nursing (Crisp, Rebeiro, & Waters, 2016). The
knowledge gained from this disciplines will be of great importance since it seems to go hand in
hand with what I will learn in Nursing.
Previously, I have worked as a customer service agent, a team leader and a supervisor in
a retail shop. As a supervisor, my duties were managing the staff members by ensuring
everything is performed as required and always coming up with pricing policies of the products
sold. As a team leader, my duties were developing strategies the team will adopt in achieving its
objectives, communicating the strategies to the team and listen to their feedback (Gyanchandani,
2017). I came to learn that one needs to be confident in whatever they do and also be ethic so as
to gain the respect of colleagues. The skills gained from my previous job experiences include
