Emory Nursing Personal Statement

I have always had a passion for infants, and the idea of delivering babies and helping
expecting families was something that I have been attracted to for the entirety of my life.
During March of my senior year of high-school, I got into the University of Georgia only to find
out that my dream school did not have a nursing program. After much thought and
consideration, I decided to still attend UGA despite the lack of a nursing program. I knew if
nursing was truly something I wanted to do, then I would need to make my own unique
pathway to become a nurse and explore different options. I decided to focus on getting an
undergrad degree in Human Development and Family sciences while taking nursing pre-
requisites to go to grad school for nursing. I have always had a passion for people, which my
major at UGA touches on greatly, but I have also had elective space to take nursing prerequisite
classes to prepare me for applying to nursing school. Since my freshman year, I have planned
out which schools I would be applying to when it was time for nursing school and Emory has
always been one of my top choices. I believe, that with a combination of my passion for nursing
and helping people, personal stories, and hard work, it would prepare me in the best way
possible for nursing school, especially if I had the opportunity to attend Emory University.
My great uncle spent months at Emory Hospital when he battled Colon Cancer my
sophomore year of college. Seeing the confidence and patience of those nurses truly affirmed
to me that Emory facilities house some of the best healthcare workers in the country. I knew if I
had the chance to learn from those healthcare workers in Emory’s environment, I could thrive
as a nurse. It is truly surreal I am completing this application and by writing this I hope to
express my passion for becoming a nurse with Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. The
MN pre-licensure program would allow me to learn from the number 5 ranked nursing school in
the united states, while on a 15 month fast-track to become a nurse.
I am coming up upon on my last months at UGA, and my passion for becoming a nurse
has only increased, which I would like to thank my identical twin nephews for. They were born
two months prematurely in May of 2019, which led to countless days and nights in the labor
and delivery wing and NICU for me and my family. I watched those nurses constantly which led
me to believe labor and delivery nurses and NICU nurses truly are heroes, and some of their
best work is emotional support. Without those nurses, my family and I would have left that
hospital each day in shambles, but instead we left feeling confident and assured. I have always
had a heart for helping others, and I pray every day that get to have the opportunity to become
a nurse and help people in every physical and mental aspect possible while gaining the trust of
them and their loved ones.
Nurses are the people to see patients at their worst, and If I can make every patient of
mine feel comfortable and gain their trust each and every time then I will reach my goal as a
nurse. I am fully confident that if I have the opportunity to attend Nell Hodgson Woodruff
School of Nursing, I would be trained and prepared to be a nurse in every aspect possible.
