"When I began my pursuit of a nursing career in college, I knew that I was made to help people when they are at their most vulnerable. Over the last nine years I've worked in an outpatient clinic setting and a fast-paced emergency setting, making a positive difference for each of my patients which has driven me to become a better nurse, and it has made all the hard and emotional days worth it. Over the past few years, I've become close with a community nurse who has shed light on all of the great aspects of the job. Having the ability to have a greater impact on public health programs and community education is very appealing to me. I've lived in this region my entire life and would be very motivated to help give back to the youth, elderly, and everyone in between in this role."

To start, speak from the heart and clearly discuss what prompted you to pursue a career in nursing. Speak passionately as you outline your drive to help others and provide compassionate care. To truly solidify your answer and prove that you would be a driven community health nurse, try to think of the bigger picture and what motivates you to help educate and promote health among the greater population.
