I wish to forward my application for consideration as a Registered Nurse intern in your organization during the summer. I have a passion for the nursing profession and I believe my background has given me the discipline and dedication that I require to become a competent nurse. I was brought up in a Christian family whereby we strongly upheld the Christian values of caring and assisting those in need. In addition, I highly value humanity and kindness, which is why I believe I am interested in nursing as a profession. A nurse should value human life and ensure that he/she works hard to preserve the health of a patient.
One of the requirements of the nursing profession is the possession of leadership skills because there is always the likelihood that you could be called upon to make crucial decisions in the line of duty. In my case, I have prior experience in a management position I held at a company back in my home country, Ukraine. I am convinced that the experience that I gained in this management position shall help me immensely in pursuing my career path as a nurse. I am also capable of coping well under stressful situations and at the same time, I am capable of making crucial decisions under critical situations.
I possess good listening skills and I believe that this is important for a nurse who is offering holistic care, and in helping to cultivate a strong relationship with the patients. In the next five years, I hope to gain valuable experience in the field of nursing. At the same time, I hope to have attained my master’s degree in the next five years. I would also wish to have become a nurse practitioner by that time.
