Motivation/Insight Question 1
Why do you want to study nursing?
Excellent Candidate Response
I have always wanted to pursue a career in which I would be able to interact with and help people; therefore, working in the healthcare profession has been an ambition of mine. For this reason, I undertook a period of work experience at my local hospital, shadowing a nurse for a week. It was this experience that solidified my interest in the nursing profession. Whilst I was in awe of the many challenging tasks that nurses are required to do continually during the day, such as taking bloods or catheterising patients, the way in which this nurse was able to engage with and treat patients was particularly inspiring. Often patients are at their most vulnerable when they are at hospital, thus seeing her treat them with the utmost respect and empathy made me want to follow suit. It was clear that her patients deeply respected – and adored – her because of the kindness she displayed, which made me realise how rewarding this career is, and encouraged me to start working in the community so that I could gain the experience to eventually enter this career path.
