This is an admission letter for a DNP program. Information is provided
Please submit a 34-page statement addressing the prompt: Why the DNP?
This is just a brief background to help you with the essay.
I am a new nurse who went through the accelerated BSN program and all the professors were not professional or not up to date as far as their nursing background. There was a difference in teaching styles with not only didactic but also clinical instructors. I noticed as a novice nurse I wanted to make sure nursing students behind me did not go through those obstacles.
After nursing school and becoming a Medical Surgical nurse for one year and then moving on to Emergency department nurse and Psychiatric nurse I obtained an understanding that most people professors were not in tune with EBP in the clinical setting.
I returned for my MSN nurse educator to obtain the educational background to be able to move forward with precepting and teaching nursing students for that to understand that some educators will continue on a clinical journey to make sure it coincides with academia.
The DNP will allow me to fully uphold my dream of being an academic professor and a clinical instructor to touch the students either way to obtain a better experience on their nursing journey.
Medical Surgical nurse 1 year
Emergency department nurse 2 years
Psychiatric nurse 8 months
I have been a nurse for 2.2 years.
