PROFESSIONAL MISSION STATEMENT

My interest in nursing is a passion from childhood to dedicate my life to care for elderly, the sick and the vulnerable ones amongst us. Nursing for me is a careful career choice which requires devotion and obligation.

I have properly received quality trainings in class as well as during my clinical rotations. I was made to understand that the primary goals of a nurse are the health and well-being of entrusted patients and their families. And these goals cannot be achieved in aggressive work environment, but in the cooperation, teamwork, harmony and great sense of duty by all staff and employees.

I have been well educated on areas such as Palliative/ Hospice Care and general health, and ethics to mention but a few. My academic performance is a testimony to my understanding and knowledge of these programs.

I am a very hard-working person with no health issue. I can work with little or no assistant. I pledge to contribute my best to promoting the interest of your hospital to an enviable excellence if you grant me the opportunity to join your team of staff nurse.
