A nurse I will be, because a nurse. I am future RN Glenn reporting for service. I am a firm believer in the power of words and speaking things into being over my life. This trait accompanied with my strong will, and dedication will lead me to becoming one of healthcare‘s greatest nurses. I am Noelle Glenn a 36 year-old certified nursing assistant who was just recently accepted into Hondros college of nursing program. This July. I am loving every minute of pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse. I’m also an amazing single mother of four beautiful children who greatly benefit firsthand for my love of caring for others. I have always wanted to become a nurse yes, even though the demanding and rigorous schedule of school can be daunting at times I am still loving every minute of it. Well, almost every minute, being awarded this nursing scholarship will put me in a position where my financial restraints would lessened while obtaining my nursing degree I can be fully dedicated and fully committed to the learning process, and knowing that I was able to use my mindset and skills of being resourceful in finding ways to help me pay for the high cost of school, be able to earn my nursing degree would be all that much more meaningful. I am going to start my nursing career serving in underprivileged areas, starting in my home the city of Detroit, Michigan. I believe that a healthy community is vital to its survival. Detroit is now once again, becoming a booming city of growth and development and with adding numbers to its population, it will of course need more brilliant nurses to take care of its people. According to the 2004 survey of Michigan nurses they’re about 82% of Michigan nurses that are female in the state of Michigan, but only about 5.2% of female nurses are African-American. I find that to be somewhat troubling. I want to be able to see more nurses who look like me and represent and care for the community, which they live and serve the way that I do. When caring for my patients of course I will not see color, but only people in need of my nursing knowledge, skills and compassion. I am taking my nursing education very serious and working towards my school as high as achievement of being on the presidents list which is for students who have earned a 3.75 grade point average or higher. I am currently maintaining a 3.7 I’m working on all A’s. I will be a highly skilled and knowledgeable nurse when I graduate. I am not sure which area of practice I will go into as of now, but I am leaning towards maternity and infants. It’s just so many interesting opportunities in the healthcare world from the rush of the ER department to be able to help bring life into the world, but whatever type of nurse I choose to be rest assured that I will be a great one. I know that nursing is my true calling and receiving this scholarship to help with my tuition cost is vital to super suing my lifelong career of being a nurse.

A Mother, a barber/stylist, a gardener, a mentor. Some of the titles I use to describe myself but the title I’m working towards now is Nurse. Nursing and working in healthcare is my true passion, my divine purpose if you will. I’m going to become a nurse because by nature I’m a caregiver and a lover of the art of science. For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to be in the medical field. I actually started out wanting to be a doctor. An obstetrician to be exact. Some of my earliest childhood memories of my mother is when she was attending school for nursing. The long nights of her studying countless hours. Being a single mom, Her doing whatever it took to get back and forth to school and buying those textbooks. It all made me want to be just like her. I was going to be a doctor. I decided to develop my plan. Finish grade school, take medical career classes in high school, get the grades. I was going to attend college for four years to get my degree and then another four to six years to specialize in medical school. However, somewhere along that journey I realized that the nurses who were assisting those doctors provided more of caregiving aspect. The nurses tended to be more compassionate, more involved one on one with patients and their families. They took care of the people as if the patients were loved ones of them . That’s when it dawned on me that my true calling was not being a doctor but I wanted to be a nurse. I’ve always adorned babies. They are just so cute, cuddly and I’ve felt they needed the help of someone who truly cared for them. I’m the single mother of four amazing children. My son is my eldest and I have three girls. When I was blessed with my third child, we had a lot of complications during my pregnancy. As a result she was born at 25 weeks old. I had never laid eyes on a baby that small before. She was only 2 pounds 4 ounces, I remember thinking she weighs less than a bag of sugar. It was the most challenging duty I had been made to do thus far I my life. I was terrified. She stayed in the Neonatal intensive care unit for a long and tolling 4 months. One of our greatest comforts were the NICU nurses. They tended to my daughter day and night. Ensuring that she would survive. A lot of days they gave me the strength and knowledge to learn how to care for my premature baby. It was a very tough time for me and my daughter. And those nurses made sure we got through it alive. After this moment in my life, I knew I wanted to specialize in being a NICU Nurse. I wanted to be able to be able to one day care for other premature babies and their families, just as those nurses had done for me. Years later I sometimes volunteer at my local hospitals NICU to give compassion, care and hope to those that are experiencing what I went through. Helping nurture the vulnerable tiny babies has been a blessing for me. Gearing me towards my life’s goal in becoming a NICU nurse.

A nurse I AM, and a Pediatric nurse I am going to be. Future RN Noelle Glenn. I am a 36-year-old certified nursing assistant who was just recently accepted into a nursing program that starts this summer in July. I have always wanted to become a pediatric nurse. My passion is being a caregiver and advocate to especially children and their families when they’re sick and in their most vulnerable times. I remember when I was around five years old. My mom was very young with two children of her own. My brother and I she was also studying and pursuing a path of nursing. She had this huge blue book that resemble an enormous Bible only inside it was filled with medical definitions and vivid pictures of multiple people with different conditions and diseases, Including children. Me being so young and just learning To read, I will look at these pictures for hours on and constantly asking my mother. What is this and what is that? A picture of I would sadly ask “those things can happen to children Mom? “,she would say “yes everyone gets sick sometimes honey”. The picture that still stands out the most is a small child with their eyes blocked out to conceal their identity and being covered with blistery chickenpox from head to toe it looked painful. I couldn’t imagine a child having to go through that hurt and trauma. Right then and there, I told my mom that I wanted to care for babies and kids when I get older. I never could stand to Hear babies crying I always wanted to scoop them up in my arms and Give them 1 million hugs to make their crying turned to laughter. Always having a natural want to take care of those around me, I now became filled with curiosity in the world of health and the art of science. I’ve always had a special place in my heart to take care of our most vulnerable. I am also an amazing single mother of four beautiful children. They get to benefit firsthand my love of caring for Little ones. With their ages being 17, 15,9 and 5, I’ve had to care from everything Small knee scraps: A rambunctious son (17) who’s broken his arm twice. To currently caring for my oldest daughter (15) who just recently ruptured her ACL and had surgery on May 23rd,2025. Having to go through the traumatic experience of my third child being born 25 weeks, premature and being consumed in her survival and development; during this time I stayed at the hospital day and night for four months straight every day to be with my daughter. Although it was a sad and daunting moment in my life it steered me even more towards wanting to go to nursing school. I yearn to fully learn the skills to be a professional in the world pediatrics. I truly believe that God’s divine purpose for me to give commitment, compassion, and care to all his most blessed gifts. I am going to become a nurse, because it is in my every fiber of my being to do so.
