Example Of Program Title Essay

I am applying for the Advanced Education Nurse Traineeship (AENT) grant as I need financial support to complete a degree in Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). I aim to acquire advanced knowledge and skills that will enable me to deliver an excellent care service at various health care centers especially in underserved areas. I satisfied all the eligibility criteria, and I am prepared to follow all requirements pertaining to the traineeship funding policy. I am a US citizen and is a holder of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN, GPA: 3.85) obtained in 2015 from the University of Phoenix, Ontario, California. I have an academic and a professional background in nursing that will enable me to complete the MSN degree successfully. In addition to my BSN degree, I am also a holder of an Associate of Nursing in Nursing degree obtained in 2008 from the Los Angeles Trade Tech College, Los Angeles, California. Also, I completed nursing courses at West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California from February 2002-June 2003. Professionally speaking, I am currently a nurse at Arrowhead Medical Reginal Center, Colton, California. Previously, I provided nursing care at health centers such as Foothill Presbyterian Hospital (Glendora, California), Community Extended Care (Montclair, California), Doctors Hospital Montclair (Montclair, California), UCLA Medical Center (Westwood, California), and New Vista West LA (Los Angeles, California) where I performed various duties including managing a Sub-Acute Unit and training junior nurses. With regards to education, I am currently completing an MSN degree that I have started about a year ago and the financial support from the traineeship grant will help toward the cost of e.g. tuition fees, subsistence and purchase of academic material such as books and online materials required for a successful completion of the program. It will limit the need to perform additional working hours to cover the cost of the program and allow a better focus on my studies. Not worrying to have enough money for the expenses of the program will relieve any related stress, encourage a successful completion of my degree and enhance the desire to working in areas where the provision of adequate health care constitutes a serious burden.
Completion of the MSN program will provide me with the skills and knowledge needed to address various health challenges encountered in places where I will be appointed to serve, especially within the underserved communities. I have already been involved in voluntary work in such communities and clearly perceived the need of well-educated health care providers to support people with special requirements. In fact, between 2013 and 2014, I did voluntary work for underserved people in the Riverside County and Pomona area in Southern California, taking care of elderly people in elderly health homes. It provided opportunities to interact with aging individuals with low incomes and their relatives and to respond adequately to their needs, contributing thereby to improving their well-being and health. Within underserved communities, patients who do not have health insurance are less likely to be provided with recommended preventive measures and screening, and this results in poorer outcomes for serious diseases. Moreover, some areas lack basic medical care, first aid nurses, and physicians as well as other health resources. Factors such as inadequate health literacy, reduced income, and education level contribute to worsening people health status in such areas. I am motivated to caring for the underserved as I desire to make a difference, address multiple issues with little resources, share love and commit to serving particular communities and people in need without expecting anything in return. The reward will be to see a substantial improvement in the health and well-being of individuals who do not have much to pay for expensive health.
