Statement of Purpose
From an individual viewpoint, the nursing profession is one of the most important professions that focus on the wellbeing of society. It can be viewed as a calling where an individual devotes his or her time in ensuring that quality medical care is provided to the community. Over the past few years, I have worked in various institutions which I believe have exposed me on my responsibility as a nurse and what I need to do to promote quality care. Pursuing a master’s degree in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program is a major leap in advancing my career as a nurse. The degree will not only enable me to specialize in a particular area of interest but also provide me with more opportunities pertaining to my career advancement. The degree will also enable me to pursue a doctorate program; an opportunity that will empower me to conduct research on methods that may be employed in the nursing field to promote quality care.
The academic knowledge and skills that I have acquired in the preceding nursing programs have enabled me to work with various professionals and in various institutions to both coordinate and deliver quality care to patients. Some of the activities that I have actively engaged in include developing care plans, carrying out assessment plans, placing orders on behalf of an institution, and educating patients and their family members or caregivers on issues that are affiliated with their medical conditions.

I am also skilled when it comes to the use of information and technology systems in the nursing field especially in the documentation and storage of patients’ data.
My interest has always been to work as a nurse due to its significance in society. It is the drive to be among the best in the field that has pushed me to ensure that I perform well in my studies and provide quality care in the medical setting. I believe that it is my calling to get involved in the community to help people with mental health and substance abuse problems. Thus, Regis College should expect me to be a high achieving graduate student particularly since I am innately determined to be useful in my surrounding community through the profession.
I believe that proper time management is necessary if one is to make any substantive achievement; whether big or small. Therefore, on my commitment to online learning, I am certain that I will be able to manage my time well in terms of handing in assignments on time and taking part in class discussions. I also hope to relate well with my instructors and course mates on issues concerning the program.
Pursuing a master’s degree in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program provides me with the opportunity to adequately serve the community. Therefore, in the next five to ten years, I see myself getting involved in medical missionary work in the future. Also, the degree will enable me to work as a nurse educator after completing the nursing program. The focus is to work as a mentor and educate other nurses new in the field with the goal of adequately structuring their foundation in the profession.
