Ariadne Zamora

March 29, 2012

My name is Ariadne Zamora, I am 26 years old and I have a 4 year old daughter name Liliana Mae and 3 month old baby boy name Aaden James. My kids are my big motivation to finish school, that way I can give them a good life and good future ahead.

My motives for becoming a Registered Nurse haven’t always been as set in place as they are now. I have always, ever since I can remember, had the idea that this was the profession for me. I am an outgoing person who enjoys working with and helping people. Towards the end of high school I remember feeling rather unsure of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. After thoroughly reviewing my choices, I decided that nursing seemed to be the profession that encompassed all of my strong points and offered me challenges that I would enjoy seeking and accomplishing. Nursing is more than a profession of integrity and compassion, it is a privilege that measures out my values as a human being and the responsibilities granted to me with the precious gift of life.

In order to become a registered nurse, of course, I must go through the proper schooling and training. My top choice of school is American University of Health Science. A friend of mine had told me about this school. I looked it up online and checked what this school is all about. I compared it with other nursing schools and by far this is the school that got my attention. I checked it out and had spoken to one of the administrators and was very much interested with everything that she told me.

I know that I will be able to get a good education at your school which will help me pursue my career in the medical field as a Registered Nurse. I believe that my focus, determination, and having a strong appreciation for academics, especially the life science, makes me a good candidate to become a student at your school. I am an industrious student and I take my studies

    I have chosen to become a registered nurse because of the many great benefits it comes along with. For example it is a high paying job with a flexible schedule, and has an expected nineteen percent job growth within the upcoming years. Therefore, once I have completed my bachelor’s degree and start looking for a job I will have plenty of opportunities to choose from. Not only that but I will hopefully start working a job with a good starting salary. I hope to achieve my short terms goals which include getting accepted into Tarrant County College Nursing Program, and then earning my Associate Degree in Nursing so I can later accomplish my long term goal and complete my Bachelor of Science in Nursing to become a registered nurse.…

    Personal Ethics

    As this author reflects upon her own personal ethics, morals and values it is important to know what brought me to the place that I am now. This author has many passions and one of the greatest is a passion for life. That is what brought me to the nursing career that I have grown to know and love. A personal decision was made many years ago in my own life to help others and to always try to prevent harm to myself and others. As my grandfather lay dying I watched nurses treat him and my family with so much dignity and compassion that I knew from that moment 15 years ago that I would spend the rest of my life as a nurse and would treat others with the same compassion and respect that we were given, I knew that was who I wanted to be. I found motivation to achieve this goal through my children. It was important for this author to be a good role model and teach my children that they could achieve any goal they desire if they work hard and stay…

    Personal Ethics

    For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a registered nurse. I come from a family where wearing scrubs has always been the normal work attire. My mother has been a registered nurse at a highly accredited oncology hospital for over twenty-five years, and my father a pharmacist for about twenty. I have aunts who are nurses and uncles who are doctors. For me, the health care profession always just seemed to be my future. When I first began my actual nursing journey I was worried that I had possibly chosen the profession simply because it was so common in my family, and that I never even really considered any other career. Luckily for me, my first day of clinical in “Introduction to Nursing” sealed the deal. It wasn’t the environment, the schedule, or even the salary that lead me to feel confident that I had chosen the right career path for myself. Instead, it was the overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment that I felt when I saw how my care and compassion could help another individual during a time of need.…

    My passion for nursing began when I first shadowed a Family Nurse Practitioner at Mansfield Methodist Medical Center earlier this year. After spending my first week I could already tell that nursing is a highly demanding career that brings new challenges every day, but with it comes many rewards and a real sense of job satisfaction. It is through my work experience and knowledge gained from my undergraduate coursework that I have developed a desire to become a family nurse practitioner. Interacting with clients of all backgrounds and education levels has given me the desire to advance my knowledge and develop my educational skills so that I can more efficiently educate my surrounding population.…

    My personal nursing mission statement is changing and developing as my career advances, however, one core piece will remain constant. I will strive to provide the best, safest, most ethical and compassionate nursing care that I can for all patients and family members with whom I come in contact. I began my post-high school academic career as an accounting major. I enjoyed the challenge of manipulating a report until I had balanced. I thought I had found my calling. As my first semester was nearing an end, I found myself contemplating the thought of sitting behind a desk all day. I wondered if I would find fulfillment in this work as a career? The more I pondered this thought, the more I realized that this was not the right career path for me. I saw images of the medical assistant program in the catalog at the school where I was attending. I could not shake the thought of the medical field for a profession. I attained my medical assistant degree and worked in the field for 10 years. The longer I worked, the more I realized that there was more that I wanted to do, but my current degree restricted me from going further. I researched nursing school programs and selected one with a night/weekend program that would allow me to continue working full-time during my studies. I have a family that I needed to continue to provide for and this seemed to be the best fit. My nursing school decision was fortified when I was selected for an award by the nursing faculty from all four semesters for excellence in the clinical setting. After graduation, I began my nursing career working as a case manager for orthopedic worker’s compensation patients. During this time I gained critical knowledge of the importance of clear documentation, the ever-changing requirements of insurance companies and an extra measure of compassion for…

    As a short-term career goal, I have applied for my BSN and hope to complete it by 2017 as well as hoping to finding an internship that will help guide me and prepare me and even challenge me as I lead on the path of becoming an experienced Registered Nurse. I have definite plans to further my education in the future, but I know that I have so much more to learn about being a nurse before I can make any definite statements about wanting a particular degree. Whatever job I may have, my eternal goal is to be a person that both my patients and their families trust and respect, to be their advocate, and to be able to make the best decisions in regards to patient…

    Nursing Application Essay

    “To me the distinguishing characteristic of professional nursing is clinical thinking, every patient, whether well, getting sick, being sick or getting well has the right to a nurse who by virtue of this clinical thinking, manages the nursing care and is accountable for that care.” It would be a blessing to be a student of a prestigious program that was founded by the honorable late Ms. Dorothy M. Smith. Her aspiration and dedication to the program to feed and educate hungry minds is phenomenal. Being a former biology major, I was never enthusiastic as I am being a nursing major. Nurses are the glue that holds hospitals, clinics and nursing homes together. Desiring a Bachelor of Sciences in nursing, I plan to hold a position as a RN. Furthermore, I will continue my education to gain a doctorate in nursing. Attending University of Florida’s nursing program to achieve my career goals is a dream of an aspiring nurse. With the University of Florida’s academic standing, student involvement, comfortable environment and cheerful staff, being a part of the program is a beneficial plus. Entering college, my goal was to graduate with a Bachelor in biology and then attend medical school, to pursue a career as a pediatrician. However, a few complications arouse and that goal was short-lived. I am always told; never give up, on yourself and your dreams. Itching for the need to stay in the medical field, I decided on nursing. Deciding to get both my bachelors and masters rather than only my bachelor was the best decision I made. I decided on becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practioner. My career goal will not be achieved easily. It is a guaranteed package of gray hair, sweat, stress, gallons of Starbucks and dreams of my bed. I can be certain that I will be pushed to my limit to become the best nurse I am capable of being so that I am able to care for my patients the best way that I can. Previously having attended University of Florida, there was not a day I regretted saying yes to…

    For me, choosing to be a part of the nursing profession was not as easy as it may have been for others. I am not the daughter or granddaughter of a nurse. My mother was a single unemployed woman for most of my life. I knew I wanted to walk my own path, but I wasn’t certain what that was. When I entered the workforce, I didn’t follow my dreams; I simply followed familiar steps. For many years I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, but responsibilities held me back. I realized while I may be very good at what I was doing, I was not following my heart.…

    My Nursing Philosophy

    I chose nursing as my profession because I wanted to make a difference and helping those in need. I have always been interested in the health sciences field since middle school – but I truly didn’t exactly know what I wanted to do until my last semester of my undergraduate at Texas Woman’s University. I realized that I wanted to be more hands on with patients and involved in their care. In my opinion, nursing is defined as a healthcare profession that focuses on the care of individuals, their families, and communities in order to reach their optimal potential for a healthy life. The four components (Patient, Nursing, Environment, and Health) of nursing will help me to be able to develop my philosophy of nursing.…

    While at times emotionally and physically challenging, being a registered nurse has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. We are not just caregivers, but also role models for the community we serve and I am proud to be a part of this noble profession. Seeing first-hand the positive impact nurses can have on patients and their family members makes all of the stress and long hours worth it. I started my career four years ago on an adult medical/surgical unit. There, I was able to put in to practice my nursing school education and enhance basic nursing skills such as time management, talking to patients and families and working together with the interdisciplinary team to provide the best care possible.…

    During high school my older cousin, who is a nurse and the most influential person in my life helped me affirm my decision to pursue nursing. Over the years, I watched her excel in her career and heard her express how much she truly enjoys her job. She always said the feeling of giving yourself to a complete stranger in their greatest time of need is like no other feeling on earth. Each day we talk, she would describe what her patient did that day and how today was better than yesterday. Her many stories from the hospital inspired and convinced me that nursing is truly a very rewarding career. After finally speaking with her regarding my career goal, she convinced me that since I enjoy helping…
