Enlisted Commissioning Program

I request to be selected into the AMEDD Enlisted Commissioning Program; I should be considered as a candidate due to my dedication in caring for the ill and wounded soldiers throughout my military career. As a medical provider, I have the experience and medical skills that I acquired as a Combat Medic, Flight Paramedic and through my work as a civilian paramedic, all which are an essential complement to the medical knowledge that I attained through my Bachelor in Health Sciences. It is this well rounded medical understanding that gives me the tools and the confidence to succeed in the AECP. The rigor and dedication needed to excel in a Nursing program is something that I have already experienced, I am ready to embrace a challenging Nursing program, I will be dedicated to an Army Nursing career and providing the selfless service required as an Army Nurse, in order to take care of the men and women that protect our Nation. I will reflect the integrity and values which are embedded in the Army Medical Service Corps.

I admire the exceptional work of the Nurses of the United States Army; they have crucial and enormous responsibilities as health care providers.

Nurses render a valuable service to those soldiers that are in medical need, and fulfill a critical role in safeguarding the fighting strength of our nation's Armed Forces. It would be an honor and a privilege to join the ranks of these honorable, dedicated and extremely valuable Nurses. I have been privileged to work with magnificent Nurses, these exceptional experiences is what makes me want to become an Army Nurse. I'm very impressed by their medical knowledge, and they ability to take care of soldiers while being

compassionate.
In order to be a successful Army Nurse there are three values which I consider to be essential; these are Selfless Service, Personal Courage, and Integrity. Selfless Service allows us to be totally dedicated to care for our patients, no matter under what circumstances and regardless of how it affects us, it is only through that sacrifice that we can improve a patient’s condition. My selfless service has not only allow me to save lives, but also to earn the confidence and respect from patients, superiors and coworkers. Personal courage allows a nurse to prevail at their job during the most challenging times; it is this will to overcome adversity and to conquer fears or doubt, which pushes nurses to go even further while taking care of patients. Personal courage has allowed me to treat my patient during engagement in the battle field, and allow me to go even further and closer to the front lines so that I can be near the soldiers that have the greatest potential to be injured. The most important value that a Nurse can possess is Integrity, it is what compels us to do the right thing for our patients, no matter the situation. Integrity is the driving force in my life, it gives me a moral compass, makes me proud of who I am and it has allowed me to develop meaningful relationships at work, and in my personal life.
As a medical provider, my goal is to serve the military members with the upmost professionalism, while providing the best possible care; that is why I have been so focused in furthering my medical knowledge and skills through medical certifications. The best way to now further my medical career, while providing a superior care for soldiers, is to become a Army Nurse; I am certain that the vast amount of knowledge, experience and medical skills that I will acquire through the Nursing Program, will give me the tools to provide the exceptional medical care that soldiers deserve. As a Medical Officer, I expect that through my professional experience as a leader, and by upholding the core values that are essential to the Army Medical Service Corps, that I would have the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives and the professional careers of those soldiers that I would be appointed to lead. I will show them my appreciation for their commitment and their dedication to taking care of soldiers' medical needs.
