Sometimes it feels that nurses are underappreciated in this current day and age. Nurses are the caretakers that every patient needs in order to feel welcome and safe when their health is in danger. When I become a future RN, I would hope to be able to help as many people as I can. I would also hope to one day open up my own health clinic that provides help to the less fortunate so that they can receive quality healthcare despite not having the appropriate resources. Having this scholarship would allow me to further my own goals whilst being hopeful for the future of nurses in America. As for the area of interest that I have for nursing, it would most definitely be mental health. In this current day and age, mental health problems have been running rampant and having RNs with good mental health qualifications against disorders like anxiety, schizophrenia, or depression can really help to improve the lives of suffering patients. As someone who has suffered through depression, I believe having more nurses that can understand the turmoil that these types of patients go through is beneficial for their treatment. Another reason as for why I would specifically want to work in mental health is due to my mother. My mom is a big inspiration to me and is one of the sole reasons of why I want to work as a mental health RN. My mom is a registered nurse who created her own mental health clinic that has been thriving in helping patients for at least the last 4 years. She took her own nursing skills and utilized them to create a business that has been helping patients with their mental disorders for years. I would like to one day be just a great a nurse, if not better, like her. The impact I would like to make on the world in regards to mental health would be to one day open up a clinic that specializes on the mental health needs of the underprivileged. We can never forget that there are those who are so unfortunate that they cannot afford the standard health practices of a regular clinic. In this world, the "little man" is forced to fend for themselves and while there are current government agencies that attempt to mitigate these problems, there is always room for improvement. I want those that are underrepresented to have the healthcare they need especially if they suffer from a mental disorder.
