My passion to pursue a career in nursing was largely contributed to my volunteer experience at Kenol and Exotic Private Hospital, where I worked as a health educator and health care assistant. In this position I had sole responsibility for taking care of some patients’ daily needs, such as cleaning, feeding, exercise and educating them on how to live, improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Through this hands-on experience, I learned the importance of service to humanity and developed a positive attitude towards improving the lives of people. In the hospital where I worked, I witnessed the way nurses carry out their duties with love, care and respect towards patients, this further motivate me to seek a career working with patients, therefore becoming a nurse is the logical choice to meet this ambition.
Also, with the basic knowledge of biology from my previous biology class, I got attracted to human reproduction, anatomy, and how drugs interact with human body. Over the years my huge concern has been how people with chronic disease can survive, but I later learned that nurses play instrumental in ensuring they become stable.
I researched and found out that Croatia is one of the best study destinations in Europe with world-class education as well as a multicultural country. Getting this scholarship opportunity to study and graduate as nurse in Croatia will not only equip me with knowledge, but will help me explore and solve complex societal problems both at home and abroad, also provide me with skills needed for the modern challenges and problem-solving strategies.
My dedication to study nursing is immeasurable. I have encountered many of the emotional and physical challenges involved in nursing career. I intend to further my master's degree in nursing after my BSC in nursing to gain more knowledge in maternal, adult, intensive care and child care nurse. I am confident that I will achieve my goal of becoming a successful nurse, who will offer help to people in pain as nurses play a vital role in caring for patients, and I believe this scholarship will help me achieve this goal of mine. I am committed to give back to my community from my international experience, thereby bringing a positive impact to people. Furthermore, I want to establish a non-profit organization where I can provide internship to nursing and other medical students among my community and allow them to travel to isolated communities in the world to provide free medical services to people. Also, I will take part in enlightening them on nutrition education, disease control and preventive measure. I will work together in a team with other qualified health professionals to bring out the best possible outcome to people, especially patients.
