Xena Burson: Personal Statement

The day when I first took care of my grandfather was the day I realized becoming a nurse is
something that I want to do. Knowing that being a nurse may take a lot of sacrificing and
responsibilities to maintain the focus on the career that I want to achieve. Taking care of my
grandfather was a lot of hard work, however it showed me to appreciate every minute of life
spending quality time with him. The passion I have in becoming a Registered nurse, is giving me
the motivation of putting the effort in sacrificing the time I have for helping and caring for
others. Since the time I was twelve years old, I knew what a nurse requires to do. If it was not for
my grandfather’s supportive and inspirational advice, it would not lead me to the destination I
wish to arrive at. Pursuing my dreams in becoming a Registered Nurse will show me the abilities
and skills that I will need to learn to proceed in the medical fields. Knowing that having the
support and motivation will help me get through what I want to become in the future.

Currently, I am a freshman student attending State college of Florida, pursuing my Associate of


Science in Nursing. I am taking prerequisite classes that will lead me into my Nursing career.
Knowing the basic fundamentals of the human body will help me focus for my second semester
for my Anatomy and Physiology class and other classes that are required for my career. After
that I hope to pursue more that will lead to my career such as volunteering at The Englewood
Hospital in Florida to gain my internship. At this moment I am working as a certified caretaker
of infants and children’s at a daycare. This job has taught me the important fundamentals of how
to provide care for children, no matter what age. This job is a stepping stone towards my career
of becoming a Registered Nurse, even though it involves providing care at a daycare. It has made
me realize that children and infants need help as well in the medical field.

My plans are to continue at State College of Florida to get my Bachelors of Science in Nursing,
it is also required by the state to take the NCLEX-RN exam to continue the career after obtaining
my Bachelor’s degree and prepare for what comes next in life. Once I study and pass the exam. I
wish to gain an internship by volunteering at Englewood Hospital in Florida or any place that is
required for my skills and degree.

While having the pleasure of achieving my goals, I want to keep striving towards what I am
beyond capable of doing next. After honing all the skills that I will be learning in becoming a
Registered Nurse. I want to continue my education in becoming a Pediatric Nurse while getting
my Master’s degree and continue to reach towards my Doctoral degree in Pediatric. These steps
will take me far until I reach till the end.
