SAMPLE 1

Hello class,

            As an Emergency Room (ER) nurse pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at Grand Canyon University (GCU), I find several principles from GCU's mission, vision, and Christian mission that I can implement in my career, personal, and spiritual life. One key aspect that resonates with me is GCU's commitment to cultivating a "compassionate Christian community." As an ER nurse, compassion is at the core of my work. I can further embrace this principle by consistently showing empathy and kindness to my patients, even in high-stress situations. This aligns with GCU's goal of "serving others in ways that promote human flourishing”(Grand Canyon University, n.d.).

            Additionally, GCU's focus on developing "innovative thinkers" and "effective communicators" is crucial in my field. This is because I  can implement these principles by staying current with medical advancements, proposing creative solutions to challenges in the ER, and honing my communication skills to better interact with patients, families, and colleagues. Furthermore, the concept of "global contributors" inspires me personally to think beyond my immediate environment. I can seek opportunities to participate in medical missions or volunteer in underserved communities where I can apply my nursing skills to make a broader impact.

            In regard to my spiritual life, the Christian worldview of GCU encourages me to integrate my faith into my work. I believe I can do this by viewing my nursing career as a calling, finding purpose in serving others, whilst also relying on my faith for strength and guidance in challenging situations. Conversely, GCU also emphasizes "placing the interests of others before our own". This aligns perfectly with the nursing profession as I can continue to embody a selfless attitude in my daily work, while always prioritizing patient care and team collaboration over personal gain. I am confident that by implementing these principles from GCU's mission and vision, I can enhance my effectiveness as a nurse, contribute positively to my community, and grow both personally and spiritually.
