Personal Statement
Nursing, as a career, has been an incredible blessing in my life. I have had the privilege of not only caring for but also sharing in an individual’s most intimate and challenging moments. Nursing has also taken me to destinations to provide healthcare in ways I never imagined. During my MSN program at Belmont, I knew that I was in an extraordinary program largely because of the faculty. Now, I am fortunate to work with my professors that exemplified nursing through an enthusiasm for education and compassionate care for individuals.
