Plans and Aspirations

Please provide us with the opportunity to know you better, and to see your style of writing by responding to the essay format. Describe the reason for selecting the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Nursing for graduate studies in nursing. Explain your plans for pursuing the MSN degree. Briefly summarize your background professional experience relevant to your specialty selection and rationale for the specialty selected and future career goals, and how does the University of Alabama School of Nursing influence your decision. If you have selected a second specialty option on your application, please address both your first and second specialty choices in order in your essay. An account of the patient populations you have worked with and the roles you have performed assists in the understanding of your experience. Additionally, using APA format, provide a clear and succinct explanation to illustrate the need for master’s prepared nurses in each specialty area selected. Please use evidenced based literature to support your discussion, and we recommend that your essay covers all of the specialty tracks you selected on your application.
