A  hard  working  woman  who  was  born  and  raised  in  India, I have now  been living  in the United  States  for the  past  ten  years. I moved to the U.S. in 2002 after marrying a  U.S. citizen and have been living with my in-laws since that time. I am now the  mother  of   two  beautiful  boys,  one  is  five  and just started  kindergarten  and  the other is beginning to crawl around.  Nevertheless, we are a big, loving, Indian family and we highly respect higher education. So my entire family supports my decision to go back to school and pursue the Master´s Entry Clinical Nurse Program at XXXX. 

 I feel qualified for your program because I hold a B.S. Degree  in  Biological  Sciences—zoology, botany, chemistry—and  I have earned  some  course  work credit here in the US—Clinical Medical Assistant,  Phlebotomy. I chose  nursing  as  my  career  because  of  my  science  background  and  I also realize that  caring for the ill is the career track that I personally find most fulfilling, perhaps because of my compassionate nature.  I began  working  towards  my  goal  six  years  ago,  and  achieved  my  first step  by  completing  the  pre-requisite  classes. From  the  beginning, I  was  fascinated  by the pursuit of a career in  the  Nursing, especially since I had the privilege of working  in  at the Rajindra Hospital in my  home  town  of Patiala, where  I worked in the Pediatric  Department.  Due  to  the  polluted  water  in  that  particular  area,  underprivileged  children  from  ages  2 to  7  often  got  very sick and some died.  Water  born  diseases  like  typhoid,  cholera,  stomach  flu  and  vomiting  are  very  common where I grew up.  And I worked closely with the pediatricians during all phases or stages of treatment.

 Now  I  feel  very  confident  that  this  is  the  right  time  for  me  to attain  higher  education  and  prepare  myself  for  future  advancements  and  challenges.  I  would  like  to  thank  you  for  considering  my  application and  hopefully  next  year  will  bring  new  hopes  and  open doors to a brighter future for us by being accepted into your program. I  want  very much to  take  my  studies  to  the  next  level  and  pursue  a  graduate career  in  nursing.  The Master Entry Clinical Nurse Program at XXXX is an excellent  platform  upon which I could build a new professional life and a better future  for myself and my family. I very much appreciate the increased job opportunities that come with a graduate education and I am especially proud to be part of a profession that is in such great demand in today’s world. If accepted me into your program, I will bring my heart, mind, and soul, and will distinguish myself as an especially dedicated student.
