I am really energetic and a great communicator. Working in the medical field for two years helped me build confidence, and taught me the importance of patient care. I have also got a track record of success. In my last role, I juggled a variety of patient loads, assisted in a charity fundraiser and became an advocate for senior patients. Because of this, the hospital is launching a new educational program to teach nurses how to better care for elderly patients.

The perfect school nurse would have to have a great deal of knowledge. The nurse would need to have compassion for the job and must have the want to help people. The perfect nurse knows how to treat each patient like they are important so that the patient does not feel like they are just another name on a list. The nurse must also have respect for everyone around them including themselves. The perfect nurse must never accept failure.

When I was in college, I took an art class to supplement my curriculum. I did not take it very seriously and assumed that, compared to my biology classes, it would be a walk in the park. My failing grades at midterm showed me otherwise. I'd even jeopardized my scholarship status. I knew I had to get my act together. I spent the rest of the semester making up for it, ended up getting a decent grade in the class.

I would like to start off working in either maternity or pediatrics. My first reason is that I love being around babies and kids. My second reason being that I want to be able to help this children towards a healthy future.

Be positive and honest. My greatest strength is my ability to quickly and efficiently diagnose students problems.

I find that I work better under pressure, and I enjoy working in an environment that is challenging. I am the type of person that diffuses stress. I am used to working in a demanding environment with deadlines and enjoy the challenges.

My long term goals are to find a school where I can continue to learn and be a positive contributor.

I think that we must have these to keep everything in order. I think policies and rules are put in place to better our environment.

I have no problem with dress codes at all. I went to private school for 10 years and was required to wear a uniform.

I admire anyone that has a great sense of humor but at the same time knows when to be serious. I admire people who won't take no for an answer when it is easier to just give up.

Losing my dad and trying to stay strong for my mom and brother was the most difficult thing I have faced yet.

I want to be able to help people. I want to get the chance to help people recover from whatever they are suffering from.

My mom has made the greatest influence on me. She has withstood many tough times throughout her life and never once have I seen her give up.

I think the biggest mistake that I have made was changing my major from nursing multiple times.

I would give myself an 8. I feel like I am the best person that I could be but there is always room for learning and improvement.

I have benefited from disappointment by actually becoming a stronger person in school nursing.

My most challenging thing I have come across in my life was watching my dad suffer and pass away in such a short period of time.

I have had good experiences with nurses over a course of 3 months when my dad was in the hospital.

To me plagiarism is using anyone else's work without giving them credit for it by citing it. It is also trying to take credit for something that you personally did not come up with on your own.

My family is very supportive with anything I choose to do. They support me 100% with my decision to go to nursing school.

I would say that I get along with others extremely well. I love meeting new people.

I would make it a point to try to get to know the person so that they could get to know me and like me for who I am.

In ten years I will have grown into a lot more experienced nurse and I would like to be working in ICU because of it.

I am a very reliable, caring and dedicated person. I put all of my effort in to being a hard worker.

My work is important to me, so I shall not be satisfied with any old nursing job. Instead of rushing to accept the first thing that comes my way, I am taking my time and being selective to make sure my next role is the right one.
