PERSONAL STATEMENT

My ambition is to study BSN Nursing in university. Since I was a young guy it has been my dream to
help people in need. I have a great interest in science and I plan to extend my study and understand it
as much as I can.

My sister has been the main influencer for my desired course. She is also a nurse and she never comes
home from work complaining as she loves her job. I regularly go to her ward and I’m very friendly
with the staff and patients.

I did work experience at Legon hospital as registered mental health nurse in 2021 also and I loved it.
The staff were so lovely in answering all my questions and the patients were very kind. I worked as a
volunteer in a Ga south municipal hospital. Every week, I saw new faces and experience different
personalities and each were all unique in their own way!

These experiences have helped me choose what career in life that I want to take. I want to bring
smiles to people’s faces. I want to be a helping hand and make a difference in people’s lives. Since
then I have been determined to not only help people in pain, I want to have the independence of
making my own decisions and building friendly relationships with my clients.

Ever since I took up Biology for registered mental nursing course I have been fascinated with the
body have always wondered why certain instances can have a positive/negative affect. I would like to
broaden my studies in this area.

In Transition Year I was very lucky to have the opportunity in developing my people’s skills and
completing a first aid course. I love helping people and I feel that doing this course will help me
improve my people skills and help me become a better person overall. I think nurses are wonderful
people. They are overshadowed my doctors and other professions. Nurses are the ones who reassure
patients that they are on their way to a full recovery and provide them with as much care and
optimism. Watching my sister with patients made me acknowledge the impact nurses can have on
people’s lives.

I have been my class representative for three different occasions. The roles I played involve meetings
that involve both students and staff and I try my best to speak my opinions and try to implement
changes. These responsibilities have refined and strengthened my time management and
organisational skills.

The reason I want to study BSN Nursing in United States rather than United Kingdom is that the US
offers many more opportunities.The Graduate Prospects for Nursing students in the US are
impressively high and the profession is in demand whether private or government considering it is a
very populated country. This university offers practical skills and I feel like the clinical placements
across various healthcare settings will help me understand the course more. It gives me a chance to
learn in action rather than theory.
