My vision is to help build a healthcare system where high-quality medical care is both efficient and truly accessible to ordinary people. I want to be a part of creating a system that provides good healthcare outcomes while sharing compassion with people during their most vulnerable stages. This desire to enhance humanity remains at the core of my goal to pursue a decent and impactful career in nursing.
To become the kind of healthcare professional I aspire to be, I have set out a plan for my five years of study in Korea. First, I aim to achieve TOPIK Level 6 by the end of my degree program, as becoming fluent in the Korean language will prepare me to work effectively within Korea's healthcare environment. I am also determined to maintain a GPA above 80% and to graduate among the top 10% of my class. To accomplish this, I will dedicate at least three hours each night to self-study, a method I already follow and find peaceful and effective. I will use that time to review class materials and make use of the university library for extended reading and research.
From my first to third year, I hope to excel in core nursing courses such as Human Physiology, Clinical Pharmacology, Adult Nursing, Nursing Ethics, and Community Nursing. These subjects serve as the foundation of any competent nurse's practice, and excelling in them will strengthen my understanding of essential nursing principles. During these years, I also hope to master core clinical skills such as taking vital signs, administering intramuscular injections, providing basic CPR, and managing patient pain. Gaining confidence in these areas will allow me to deliver effective patient care and improve patient outcomes. I look forward to practicing these skills in the university's Simulation Lab Center, where hands-on training will help prepare me both physically and mentally for the real clinical environment.
In addition to academic and practical excellence, I plan to gain real hospital experience. This exposure will sharpen my clinical instincts and help me better understand how to meet patients' physical and emotional needs. Furthermore, I hope to join the university's nursing student clubs, such as AGAPE from Sungshin Women's University or ESEL from Pusan National University. Joining mission-based clubs like them, which focuses on medical outreach and Christian volunteer work, will give me opportunities to participate in healthcare service projects in medically underserved areas. These experiences will broaden my perspective beyond the classroom, helping me develop a deeper understanding of global health issues, especially in under-resourced communities.
Being part of such activities will not only shape my nursing skills and knowledge but also improve my Korean language fluency and cultural understanding. I expect it will also strengthen my communication abilities, teamwork, and leadership-traits that are essential in any healthcare setting.
In my fourth year, I will enter a more advanced phase of study involving clinical rotations and hospital-based training. These experiences will help me refine my patient care skills and build confidence in applying my core nursing knowledge in professional settings. At this stage, I will also begin working on my research project. For my thesis, I am especially interested in exploring how to improve community healthcare in underserved areas with limited resources. Through this research, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how rural areas function despite lacking proper medical care, and how patient outcomes in such environments can still be improved using low-cost, practical solutions.
I am also eager to study some of the strategies the Korean government implemented in transforming its healthcare system. I believe that adapting these practices to communities like those in Nigeria and other similar regions could lead to significant improvements in care delivery, even when resources are scarce.
By the end of my degree, I hope to have become not only a well-trained nurse but also a thoughtful, globally-minded healthcare provider with the skills, knowledge, and compassion to serve both in Korea and back home in Nigeria. Thereby, contributing to the kind of healthcare knowledge that changes real lives and brings hope to everyday people.
