3 Logical structure.
I am joining nursing university in September 2018, under the course of adult nursing.
This is very important for me in order to fulfil my dream of working for society. I belongs to a
poor family, due to which my family is not able to provide financial support for my higher
studies. I have done my schooling by scholarships and funds provided by NGO's. These funds
are provided on the basis of my academic results and my overall performance. I always had high
academic results, such as 98% in class 10th. After that, I chose science and biology combination
(Nicholls, 2014). As my objective was very clear from the beginning, I had scored 95% marks in
class 12th and 100% in biology. Along with this, I had participated in various competitive exams
3

such as biology and science Olympiad. I had cleared all the stages like cluster, regional, national
and international. It purely represents my passion and determination. Along with this, I had
always remain intelligent student. I have also participated in various non-academic competition
and got position. It shows that, I am able to make balance between various activities. Also
represents multitasking ability of me. Therefore I think, I am capable candidate, in order to bring
your organisation at new height through my hard-work. Through my hard-working, faster
learning and understanding skills (Dougherty and et. al., 2016). I can contribute in your
organisation, along with this by studying at your organisation. I can fulfil my dream and make a
difference in society.
I am glad to be enrolled into the course of adult nursing. As it is considered as one on the
toughest and challenging field. I have always wanted to peruse my career, so that I can make
considerable change in society. This is a step towards my dream. After, working at nursing
home. I always wanted to take admission in this course and enhance my knowledge and skills.
As I always like helping people and taking care of them. Therefore, I chooses this profession.
With the help of my work I can fulfil my dream and passion both. On the basis of my previous
nursing experience, I am able to manage and coordinate work effectively. I am currently working
at nursing as health care assistant. I had an excellent working experience with my seniors and
professionals. All the team members always appreciates my job, and people always satisfy with
the services provided by me.
During my nursing career, I have had handled various cases of adult nursing of mental
instability, debilitating. Along with this various physical conditions had also taken care be. Like
cancer, Asthma and so on. I order to handle such patients lots of strength is required that is
handling. Along with this effective communication skills and presence of mind is also must. It
helps to understand the needs and problems of victim. Through these skills effectiveness of
management can be improved. Risk can be reduced at some extend. While working under the
professionals lots of knowledges and information is gathered which will definitely help in future.
Pursuing career into the nursing field is a matter of reward for me. I hope, I will develop all the
excellent skills in order to provide effective service to the society and can make a big difference.
I had completed second level of QCF by the year 2013. Thereafter, took training of catheters and
also with urethral catheters. In 2016, I enrolled in Open College Network in West Midland.

Before the beginning of September, I will be joining adult nursing. I am very excited to learn
new things and make a positive change in society.
CONCLUSION

to a strong financial background. Therefore, in order to provide them support various sources are
available such as students’ loans, scholarships, and trusts supports and so on. These all steps are
very important in order to make big difference into society. Also helpful to educated every
studious poor student.
