Paging Nurse, Amourá” Working in healthcare has always been in my plan of action. Throughout the years I have met great nurses and they have confirm within me what I already felt. These nurses confirm being a nurse is my future. I am selfless, compassionate, driven, and empathetic. All these characteristics sums up what I feel makes a great nurse. As an African American woman I plan is help the bridge gap between health disparities in the African American/minority communities, help decrease misinterpretation on proper healthcare within the African American/minority communities, and help gain the trust of African American/minority communities throughout healthcare. I have made it a personal commitment to become a Nurse Practitioner and teach all those around me and those who look like me. Within my family there aren’t any nurses and I feel it is my duty and calling to become a nurse. My ultimate goal as a leader is to be Nurse Practitioner. My plan is to help those in poverty filled communities and give back to local clinics. I am a senior nursing student at Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing and being a nursing student has been a humbling and rewarding experience. Due the high demand of my time in school it’s impossible to work a job, study, and go to school. I am in my final semester and my tuition has increase by $4,000. It’s extremely frustrating to know I will need a large amount of money in little time to pay off my tuition. This scholarship would be a life changer as it will help decrease my stress level financially. On Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 9:08am I received 25 missed calls from my father and aunt. At that time I knew on the other end wasn’t good news. Reluctantly returning my father’s phone call I immediately heard sobbing and panicking. My father informed me of my mother’s passing and she had passed away from a massive “heart attack”. My father stated shortly after a shower she collapsed in the bathroom and he did not know what to do. At that time my father wasn’t CPR trained or crisis prevention trained. My father had no idea what a “heart attack” looked like nor what to do if one had occurred. My father tried to keep her awake but shortly she was gone. Although I was not physically there I do believe that with proper training things could have been slightly differently. Since that day, I have made a personal commitment to become a nurse and teach all those around me and those who look like me. I would love to be a nurse to spread my knowledge and care for others.

Although I was not physically there I do believe that with proper training things could of been differently. Since that day, I have made a personal commitment to become a nurse and teach all those around me and those who look like me. There aren’t any nurses in my family and I feel it is my calling. I would love to be a nurse to spread my knowledge and care for others.
